Slash about DJ Ashba: "I can't remember his name."

The last time he couldn't remember Tommy's name. This is just painfully stupid.

[JAEBALL]

He is so evil 

[D-GenerationX]

Its pretty petty and childish, but...I don't know.

Can we really throw stones on either of those fronts?

[TheBaconman]

I will give the current band and recent past members credit

They seem to have nothing but respect and nothing but possitive things to say about the original guys.    I like that.

Same can't be said about Slash.  Where he comes off as very rude in a lot of his interviews

[Bridge]

Well, to play devil's advocate, Slash's memories of a lot of things are hazy at best.  Have you read Slash's book?  He gets his own birthplace wrong!  And, among other stories, his stories regarding Paul Stanley were heavily refuted by Paul in his own book.

Stanley said things like... "decades later, Slash's memory of that night was faulty at best.  This is why attorneys don't want drug addicts or substance abusers taking the witness stand."

[D-GenerationX]

Well, shitting on the old guys isn't going to go over.

Look at the crap Axl takes for acting like such a child about Slash.  And he at least has credibility with the fans.

Of course not ! Which is why it's so comical.

The guy in the top hat ... Lol

I havnt heard anything negative from Axl regarding the old line up or slash specificly in years. 

In fact interviews from current band members have said axl like to joke around and tell stories about the old line up and the old days....    That seems pretty possitive

If this was my first ex band.  The band that I still make the majority of my yearly salary off.  Royalties....   I sure would know every detail of the band.  Especially if they are guitar players....    Playing my stuff...    Not to say yes u don't know the guys name is childish

[Sosso]

He is so evil 

He can't deal with the fact that GN'R can exist without him.

He can't deal with the fact that GN'R can exist without him.

Or maybe he can, so well in fact that he doesn't need to even know their names.

But takes legal action against the band months before they plan to release a live dvd.

Yeah right.

Im pretty positive that Slash knows very well who is playing his old songs to bigger audiences than slach,chlash,(damn, what was his name again) is.

I dont know where to begin with this one lol maybe just maybe he just forgot his name... or maybe he meant he couldn't remember his real name compared to his stage name... (Dj Ashba)..

a)how do you know the people responsible for the DVD didn't make a mistake in paying Slash the proper royalties or obtain the proper authorization... how do you know it was Slash's fault? Maybe there is something that I missed

b) he is a professional musician... thats how he makes a living... maybe you're independently wealthy and can make all of ur choices without caring how you feed ur family... i don't know... i'm quite sure ur beloved present GNR members all make decisions based on money as well... Slash is a solo artist... he has to promote his brand at all times... he doesn't have a big band name to promote his work

c) Slash has a very successful album and tour going at present time... its been very well received even if its not "ur thing" .. and he does it without the benefit of a famous band name nor a famous singer... so I think he is doing alright.. and not too worried about how many people Ron, DJ and Richard get to play in front of

I understand that a lot of fans here don't like Slash because he is enemy number 1 with Axl... but I really don't get why... I don't root for either side or really care how they feel about each other... I'm glad both are out and performing for whoever appreciates either of one them.

With all that said... I DO understand how the comment looks...it does look like a shot... but as fans of Guns N Roses music... I don't understand the taking sides...

[JAEBALL]

I also suggest you read some other GNR sites where they talk more about this stuff... there is a VERY popular belief that Perla is behind all of the dumb evil shit  Slash has done in regards to GNR and lawsuits and stuff like that being she was in charge of his financials and affairs...

now that she is not in the picture... hopefully that kind of stuff will go away

[LongGoneDay]

I'd say there are probably two household names associated with Guns N? Roses, and DJ Ashba ain?t one of 'em.

Rockfuel said that one of original gnr members is behind the delay of the dvd.

I dont see how taking a shot on ashba (thats how i see it) helps promote Slashes solo career. For the record, i have nothing against his solo career.

Well there ya go.... how do you know it was Slash? and if it was .. maybe they didn't get the proper ok from his side from the get go ?

I don't think he was trying to promote his solo career by saying anything about DJ. I was just referencing Slash has to push his brand more than say an Axl has to... Axl can just show up whenever he wants and people are going to come out because he is the singer... the frontman.. and the big star with the big band name. In order for Slash to make a good living playing music.. he has to promote himself in a different fashion... nothing to do with this comment about DJ.

Plus I just read that this french interview is possibly a few years old actually... so that would change thins in regards to how you can view what he said.

I also suggest you read some other GNR sites where they talk more about this stuff...

Actually, relying on user comments on websites to provide me factual information is the last thing I would do.

there is a VERY popular belief that Perla is behind

A VERY popular belief is still a belief, not a fact, and it makes a larger statement about the people willing to believe it just because they read it on a website.

all of the dumb evil shit

"Dumb evil shit" is certainly a statement of opinion, not fact.

Well it's a good thing I never said any of that is fact... just that there are many different opinions on the subject.

[Limulus]

i cant remember one note that the dude, the name i forgot, did write for Axl.
