Babooshka Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) It's just highlights what a mess GNR became. Not just his inclusion, but when his says "one of the guitar players" it brings home that were many guitarists, and Guns became this revolving door which has cheapened the band's legacy.

wasted Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Simetimes you can't make history, you can only make money. I don't think Dj deserves the hate he gets for doing his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History2010 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) In my experience with casual fans the only people they remember when it comes to GNR is Axl and Slash. Not Izzy, Adler or anyone else really. So what makes Ashba think he will be remembered? Edited June 21, 2016 by History2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will not go down in history, just on the toilet of the music business... From 10-15 years now on ( I assume that he could still actively sell the "i'm a cool guy with and eyeliner aand a guitar in hand and i'm a rebelllll" image in this time frame) nobody would even remember who he was Edited June 21, 2016 by Strange Broue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also not going down in history, though maybe Buckethead, because he has got real talent and a virtuoso player but he is a recluse We are bashing him, because his statement is ridiculously untrue Plus he is looking like a douche... I know that he was nice with some fans, but stil, the guy is a douche and a mediocre guitarist Edited June 21, 2016 by Strange Broue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More people know who Gilby is when it comes to GNR, that Buckethead. Slash, Izzy and Gilby are the guitarplayers the most people know, as it should be. The rest of them is forgettable. Well, Buckethead got more fans when he played with GNR, but he is more known among younger people (whom play guitar) than GNR these days... or let's just say, more people discover Buckethead than GNR in the past few years But he is a low profile guy, though Objectively speaking he was/is more talented than ANY guitar player in this band (including Slash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But so are a lot of people. He can't make up a good song though. Slash has made plenty. But I know what you mean, as a guitarist myself, Buckethead was interesting for a while. He's an insane player, though tends to get boring after a while. Problem is that it gets to sterile. Same with Bumblefoot, Batio and others. Vai, Malmsteen etc. at least had something more to offer than technique. Imo at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post or it didn't happen The thing I find most perplexing about the whole DJ thing is that there are so many videos of Axl, Ron and Tommy taking the piss out of his rotten attempt at solos on stage. Yet Matt or Brain or Frank do something wrong and the song gets stopped, they get yelled at in public and the song gets started again. Also, i'd love to know why Axl fired/threatened to fire DJ as per Beta's hacked emails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly that's where the Better Gone remix came from. MSL didn't post the actual contents but there's a summary here: http://www.newgnr.com/forum/index.php?topic=51051.0 I haven't got time to discuss it now and I was around at the time anyway but just to say that anyone who pops up to say that MSL made it up or whatever is talking crap and probably best ignored. Besides, Axl himself has tweeted some amusing stuff over the last few years pertaining to things in the emails e.g. BBF being unhappy about DJ's higher salary (there was one funny tweet where Axl basically slapped BBF down for bitching about using GN'R to market Ashbaswag when BBF did the exact same with his hot sauces.
