I've never heard DJ Ashba play. Do all of you think this guy is good enough to be in G&R?

I'd be very surprised if he played even one show with the band.... |

i think dj would welcome anyone who's interested and civil. he invited his 900+ followers @ twitter to the party. Of course there has been people who've had things arranged for them, twice, and they didn't know anything about it.  me either. care to elaborate? |

I saw him play at Cruefest, and he seemed like the next big thing, for this generation. He is a solid lead guitar player, and there are not too many these days in new music. Even on the Cruefest DVD,I was watching a different show, and he really takes his playing up a notch, instead of just playing the basic stuff. I think he is the best guy Axl could have chosen after Buckethead and Fink. I was mad about Fink leaving but I would almost prefer Ashba. |

Why do people think GN'R picks people that can't play? Almost as if they drive a van up to a street corner and kidnap people to be in the band. They had auditions! I'm sure they figured out he'd fit in during those. /jarmo |

You're not giving this guy much of a chance considering you haven't heard him play with GNR yet or given him a chance to speak.

Especially since as far as technique is concerned, he is better than Robin Finck...
He also has an obvious Slash vibe going on in his solos.

yes you'll see
remember some of us never care for nin or Cirque du Soleil and yet loved robin's play in gnr.
likely as not you'll like dj's performance like they liked robins.

Better not to bring Robin to another Ashba thread... But still, I hope he can be himself rather than replicate Slash or even Robin. I've never heard DJ Ashba play. Do all of you think this guy is good enough to be in G&R?
Why do people think GN'R picks people that can't play? /jarmo because of Paul Tobias. he couldn't play, he could write. there's a difference Oh man, still have nightmares about seeing him playing live. I didn't have any complains about his playing live. I really don't think he was that bad, specially when we just have two gigs recorded with him. |

Why not? He didn't fuck up any bad. IMO, Robin had a worse performance on RIR3 but then proved how good he is. I don't think it's fair to judge Paul by almost one single show - specially when he was just a rhythm guitar player. |

Don't worry about it gunners and roses. If Dj doesn't work out I've already sent an e-mail to Axls management company offering my services on guitar duties. I can play all the lead-guitar parts weather it's the old - middle - new guitarists. And if Axl does call me (I gave them my phone number) I'm not only going to do the tour, Axl and I are going to write new songs that will rock like Appetite for destruction---------that's if he calls. I doubt it because I am an unknown lead-guitarist and the chances are well against me. But if he does.............look out!!!!! The new cd will be bare bones crushing-blues guitar screaming vocals without all of the production. I think we are going to call the band the Devils Screw!!! The name of the album: The Zenith of Lunacities!!!!  |

what is funny is that SIXXAM is promoting this Chat and no Guns n Roses
There is nothing odd about it. He is promoting them not gnr.
Wonder if he/they were forewarned about how rabid GNR fans get?  Even if he was given a heads-up, I seriously doubt they're gonna be prepared for "us"!!!  |

I've been sucked in sooooo many times. We've got them covered! Naw there are some really great fans. It's been my pleasure to become close friends with a few of them. Thanks GNR! |
