DJ comments on current situation

[Spirit]

At the end of the most recent Guns N? Roses residency at the Joint, rumors abounded that Axl Rose had no plans for any further touring or recording with the current lineup of GNR.

But Ashba expects to return to the stage with Rose, saying, ?I?ve got his back whenever he needs me. Ever since I joined GNR six years ago, it?s almost been nonstop touring. But we?ve kind of talked of more touring, and I?m looking at this more as a hiatus than the end.?

I've heard that there was a feud between him and Ron. Is that true?

[JAEBALL]

Hiatus has become a very popular term in GNR forum land.

I know this just came out, but any idea when the interview was done?

The article make it seem like they've talked to him just now, referencing their show at The Joint tomorrow.

The hiatus thing just sounds silly. Just say there are no tour dates scheduled and there are no dates set to release any form of new music.

"However, the merchandise shop is this way!"

Haha... well I'm all for capitalism... but I agree that the hiatus term just makes me chuckle.

When DJ starts sounding less optimistic about the future of touring this year... that's a bad sign!

And not a peep about this alleged next album.

I know we shouldn't read too much into snippets from interviews but DJs comments seem v different to the positivity he normally displays when it comes to Guns

[sky dog]

Personally, I don't care if they tour this year or not. Quite frankly, I would be much more stoked to see a Replacements show right now than another Gnr show.

I would just like to see Axl release some music. Who is in the band or out of the band is meaningless to me at this point.

Yeah, it would be one thing if he said they're not touring because their focus is on getting the album out.  I think most (if not all) of his previous interviews talked about the next album. 

[sky dog]

Because he finally realized it is Axl's business. Period. He is in full control of Gnr. I seriously doubt ANYONE is being paid by Gnr right now outside of his lawyers and management team.

It is an open book. If I am Axl, at his age, that is how I would want it. He has his options. Key word being "his".

When DJ Isn't parading about a new album,tons of material and tours  its a worrying sign for this current version.


Are the stars aligning?

[jazjme]

I think hes more focused atm on Sixx AM, their tour just started, and I had also just read an new article how they are working on the 4th album and plan to tour a lot more next yr.. so who knows.

Agreed.  That's what caught my eye too.

Its like he's entering that shoulder shrug mode they all lapse into eventually.

[sky dog]

DJ is out of the loop. 

[ITARocker]

"Hiatus", ergo misused latin word

[jarmo]

Great. At least now there won't be complaints that he doesn't know what's going on and he should shut up!

If I was a betting man, (which I am, that usually wins), I would have to say

That DJ/all the other band members are totally out of the current loop as to what Axls future plans are. 

I do give DJ credit for always keeping his comments positive.   I would think it would be a case of.  If Axl did let all the guys know he would be reforming a new band and they may or may not be a part of it.   That DJ is just throwing it out there that he would like to be apart of what ever Axl would like to do

It's not ironic, but rather accurate because for once it sounds like he's being honest instead of the same old "lots of touring, top priority is getting the next album out, Axl has tons of great/#demented songs up his sleeve" routine.  For once, he's not selling us a line of shit. 

If anything, this shows you that us "complainers" don't actually complain about everything.  What is ironic is that you took an otherwise positive thread about DJ and turned it into a negative one.  #irony #staypositive
