Hey DJ, I was wondering if you could do this for all the downers saying this is no good. Would you be willing to post yourself performing a GNR solo on youtube?

Thanks

Welcome DJ, and ignore the butthurt haters around here.

You have this look now that seems to me like Nikki Sixx's look and I wonder if you adopted it so that SixxAM would have more of a wholesome look. Nothing wrong with that: when Robin Finck joined GnR, he had a weird, shaved head goth look that fit well into NIN but was odd to GnR, but later on he changed his looks. Now, in GnR, do you have any intention or disposition to change your fashions to fit better the (imaginary) look of this band?

I ask that because a lot of people have a hard time to accept you and look at you as an emo/goth/glam/gay guy, which is misleading and IMO unfair to you, such a skilled guitarrist! (but I love the way you look, for me you don't need to change)

I also wanna know if you have any influences from J-Rock/Anime culture, and if you do, please mention some of those influences.

My husband made me do this:

It's from the anime/manga Naruto. Just coincidence?

3rd question: Can you make the GnR website? You are such a great designer and that thing is crying for your help! It's the worst band website ever!! It surely is a shame to such a huge band to have a site with no music, no bios, no lyrics, no pictures, no videos, no store, no everything!

Hey Dj, welcome to GNR, motherfucker. First of all, I'm looking forward to seeing you live on the upcomming tour, ripping the GNR catalogue a new asshole.

My question:

Keeping in mind the history of GNR and their ex-guitarists, and keeping in mind the extreme amount of patience they had to bring up for simply being in GNR, what was your motivation for joining GNR?



Have a good one!!!

The waveform of Chinese Democracy shows the true meaning of the song: 2 lightsabers...it's all about The Force. This shit beats spinning LP's backwards!!! Axl Rose welcomes YOU into the 21st century.....

hello there Dj AshbaPosted Image

I won't bother asking any of the other members questions, we all know about them :sleeper:

You are the new guy for interrogating and we are definately going to pick your brains to make sure you are up to GN'R standards.


cue mean job interviewer voice and awkward questionsPosted Image

*Are you only here for touring or will you possibly be writing and recording during that time?

*What can you bring to the band thats new and improves on previous members like Slash or Robin Finck?

*Whats the worst thing you've heard about Guns N' Roses before you joined, and why didn't the last 10 years of bad press put you off accepting the job. I'm asking that because if you leave your new name prefix will almost certainly be "former GN'R guitarist" for decades like Slash and Robin. Its a heavy burden regardless of individual talent!

*What, if any GN'R songs did you play before you even considered an audition?

*What members of GN'R have/haven't you met prior to the last 6months?

*Name a song that you've heard that GN'R should do a cover of as a fun unofficial freebie download. You have 3 seconds, 3............2...1. GO!

Hey DJ.

From seeing you play, perform, and your approach to songwriting, you seem to be heavily inspired by guns n roses, and it seemed like you tried to incorperate or recreate that intensity in Beautiful Creatures. From starting off in a stripped down rock n roll band and being so inspired by bands like Guns n Roses, what on earth is it like to be there in that world of the band itself you drew inspiration from?
Do what makes you happy if it doesn't hurt anyone else

Do you plan to bring back a more bluesey sound to Guns N' Roses?
Axl likes Fall to Pieces. So do I.

Now that you've spent a little time with GNR, could you tell us how do you feel with them?, what do you like about the band? and What do you like to do with them? rock4

Hey, DJ!

I love your work on Saint of Los Angeles. When and how did you get into playing guitar, and how did you meet Nikki Sixx?
