Really, John? I personally really like Paul, but he's not god, and a commitment is a commitment. I'm glad Dave Grohl didn't dump someone for Paul, it was the right thing to do.

Paul is very versatile. He could have played something other than bass. Thumb piano, flute, mellotron...

That's like saying beethoven vs. Mozart on bass. Plus JPJ can produce and arrange with modern equipment. Paul could be the utility man in that band. But then JPJ and Paul would take over the band. It's too much. What I would like to see is a one time collaboration with a couple of original songs with Dave.
