According to the Midnight To Midnight tour programme John's favorite guitar solo of all time was his own on "Dumb Waiters," and interestingly, his solo on "Heaven" was actually Tim Butler's favorite guitar solo of all time! As for me, I don't really know what my favorite guitar solo is because there's just so many, but my number one favorite solo from John Ashton is definitely at the end of "Forever Now." It is just so awesome sounding and has an epic feel to it.
Even though John Ashton is not in The Psychedelic Furs anymore and is doing his own thing we will always remember his contribution to the band with his music. I sometimes wonder if someday John will join the Furs on a future tour or do just one gig with them. A month ago the other guitarist Roger Morris went with The Psychedelic Furs on their UK/European tour and performed alongside Rich Good. It would be really cool if John Ashton did the same but the most important thing is for him being happy doing what he loves.
Happy Birthday John!
