Mastodonny Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 ^^ I don't know what band you're talking about but the rest of us are talking about how DJ and Axl and the rest of the guys put together Guns N Roses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfuckinga Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 ^^ Yes I know. Dj Ashba and Brain were the guys who found Tommy through the ad in The Recycler. You said Frank earlier, but Frank came in after Brain was fired for drug use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceguy Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Have you seen DJ with his bottle of JACK DANIELS in every fucking video he posts on his website?That's so rock and roll. DJ is drinking JACK DANIELS constantly, the way the rest of us drink water. So rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvH Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Half man, half beast, I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, it's weird, and it's pissed off, and it calls itself #Ashba. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I know of this other guitarist (kind of a poser) who wears a top hat, uses his same mannerisms etc....Don't say his name, he betray Axel make him sad and sabotage band that's why CD not sell like shouldHalf man, half beast, I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, it's weird, and it's pissed off, and it calls itself #Ashba.Best one yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfuckinga Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Brain was fired for drugs? I thought that was Freese. Freese left before the Hell Tour with Robin. Its what opened up the spot for Axl to call Dj Ashba and Brain in.Man, Dj's work on Appetite is incredible. Its so cool he wrote Paradise City in a van with those guysI know of this other guitarist (kind of a poser) who wears a top hat, uses his same mannerisms etc....That Slash guy? He's nothing but a cover artist. All he does is play Dj's songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastodonny Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 @whatashame, I can't believe the riff raff they let in around here.Back on topic tho: I think of the DJ/Axl duo right up there with Plant/Page, Jagger/Richards and Tyler/Perry as one of the greatest combos of talent EVER.

Indigo ChiId Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I think it would be a very bold and rock n roll statement if Axl were to add this gem to the setlist in 2014. Maybe find an African American or a couple of guys that appears to be romantic in the crowd and point directly at them while loudly emphasizing certain words of this song. For further impact, follow that up by throwing them the bird.Make no mistake. I'm not racist or prejudice in any way, shape, or form. It would be soley for the sake of rock n roll, and to remind the public that there are still a lot of "small town white boys" in the world. I'd like to think that any truly open-minded fans would understand and appreciate where he is coming from. Almost art in its truest form.

TeeJay410 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Demo version is much better: Yep, no less racist when sung an octave lower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 One of the best GNR songs ever and if you think Axl is racist or a poofterphobe you can eat a fat dick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Great song. I wish they had done 4 more acoustic songs and just left out the live stuff. One in a Million, Patience, Used to Love Her, You're Crazy, plus 4 more really good acoustic songs and Lies would have been perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suicide and the acoustic side are the perfect compliments. The only reason people are upset about it is because the band fell apart so we stopped getting new releases, but if we kept getting new albums people would be fine with how Lies came out. 8 acoustic songs would have been too much and it all would have started to sound the same.

DR DOOM Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's one thing to say "it's from such and such perspective" which is totally legit, but when your audience is generally angry young white men (or was back then, it seems GNR is a band for emo hipsters now)it's naïve to think they aren't just going to hear "Ns and Fs" and totally miss the point and use that as a rallying call or whatever.Like RATM with that "fuck you I wont do what ya told me" - theoretically it's for guerrillas and freedom fighters struggling against oppressive governments and oppressive regimes but in reality it's being played by a 13 year old white kid in the suburbs rebelling against his parents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broskirose Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) A lot of GNR lyrics are dumb and juvenile. This song is jus one of the more obvious ones. Edited January 21, 2014 by Broskirose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
