http://www.spinner.com/2009/09/29/neil-diamond-covers-adam-sandlers-chanukah-song/ odd choice for a cover but he plays a sweet solo towards the end :peace: edit: actually i'm not sure thats him on guitar, the article just says he produced it. Title: Re: Dj Ashba produces Neil Diamond Post by: faldor on September 29, 2009, 06:42:01 PM In defense of DJ, Neil Diamond is somewhat of a legend in the music business. If you get the opportunity to work with him, you can't be chastized for choosing to do so.
Title: Re: Dj Ashba produces Neil Diamond Post by: cineater on September 29, 2009, 06:51:58 PM Neil Diamond is one of those people who has earned, and I mean earned, the right to do musically whatever he wants. Not my thing now but I know his music, even own some of his music, even sing some of his songs everytime the name appears on a GNR board. It is an honor to work with someone of his caliber same as if you worked with Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson or Madonna. Not my thing but they've ruled the charts and have a place.
Sorry have to go. Title: Re: Dj Ashba produces Neil Diamond Post by: willow on September 29, 2009, 08:19:11 PM Actually it impresses me that DJ is working with someone like Neil. Means that DJ is very versatile. That's what Axl seeems to look for. I hate an artist that only can play one style of music.
Title: Re: Dj Ashba produces Neil Diamond Post by: D on September 29, 2009, 08:21:53 PM I am far more worried about DJ doing the next Sixx AM album like he is currently doing than Neil Diamond
Title: Re: Dj Ashba produces Neil Diamond Post by: angeles on September 29, 2009, 08:36:23 PM DJ is the best!!! ;) he can do whatever he wants :love:
he is an artist, producer, songwriter .... exactly what Axl needs !!!! hahahhaha Title: Re: Dj Ashba produces Neil Diamond Post by: PJ on September 29, 2009, 11:23:01 PM posted on DJ's myspace: yeah it's him on guitarhttp://www.spinner.com/2009/09/29/neil-diamond-covers-adam-sandlers-chanukah-song/ odd choice for a cover but he plays a sweet solo towards the end :peace: edit: actually i'm not sure thats him on guitar, the article just says he produced it. Quote "Just finished up producing/performing and mixing three brand new songs for NEIL DIAMOND. Make sure to check it out on his new Christmas Album coming soon! Heading into rehearsals with GN'R. Hope you're all well! See ya soon! Much Love!"

Title: Re: Dj Ashba produces Neil Diamond Post by: Buddha_Master on September 30, 2009, 01:25:45 AM What the hell? Did one of my posts actually get removed here?
I have been here a long long time. I consider myself one of the biggest Axl fans in the world. Just because I criticized Ashba, didn't mean one of you mods had to remove it. Nothing wrong with holding a member who hasn't proven his salt yet with GNR, accountable. What the fuck? Title: Re: Dj Ashba produces Neil Diamond Post by: gcluskey on September 30, 2009, 04:03:53 AM I love Neil Diamond's work and he's written songs for lots of artists and been covered alot too

Title: Re: Dj Ashba produces Neil Diamond Post by: Jim Bob on September 30, 2009, 09:22:18 PM Ashba > Finck i dont see this as relevant to the topic. first you come in here and complain that the article isn't news on what you want it to be, then you come in here and try to start a robin vs dj debate. then again, when do you ever make relevant posts. nothing new with you i guess.
