Im not sure of Izzy not coming back but its just my opinion
Yeah, I'm thinking Louie Armstrong will join up for that open trumpet spot, too.
And Slash for the 3 drummer spot
Re: Guns N' Roses Names Dj Ashba As Band's Newest Axeman
I think Izzy will always be around for the occasional special guest appearence, and maybe even some studio collaboration.
As far as full time... no way. He'll never be back in GN'R full time, and he'll also never team with Slash & co. on anything full time.
Ain't his style.

I'll just have to say it...
They should have given Paul Gilbert a call.

I'd see Gilbert as more of a Bumble (and bucket) replacement.
Like if you look at it as 3 seperate jobs:
The Rhythm job: (Izzy > Gilby > Paul > Richard)
The blues lead job: (Slash > Robin > Ashba)
The shred lead job: (Bucket > Bumble)
So gilbert to me would be the dude to call if bumble walks.
I'll say gilbert has absolutely amazing guitar skills though. In technical ability I'd say he'd pretty much have to be the best guitarist on the planet, or at least in the top 2 or three. Although i'm unsure about his compositional skills, I had a solo album of his, that had amazing playing but the songs themselves were not to my tastes. it could have just been that album. But I suspect he may be a better player than he is a writer. But given he'd be adding just solos and stuff to GNR tunes one would expect....it could work...and someone at his level is always going to be an amazing asset.
Re: Guns N' Roses Names Dj Ashba As Band's Newest Axeman
A few extra copies would've went if Gilbert joined, the guy commands huge respect among "guitar" fans, most of whom never would've heard him play, but know who he is.
The album lacked that demographic, because Slash wasn't there, even if Bucket is a better player.

In a world called "Japan"
In the UK also when it comes to guitar magazine coverage.
...And it wouldn't be his own material that would sell, it would be "Gn'R", cause they would be taken a bit more seriously.
