Rovim Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The funny thing is DJ actually has integrity as a musician. He got on board with the best intentions. I have no reason to believe otherwise.He and Axl clicked on a personal level, DJ loved Guns and was influenced by Slash and wanted to take Guns forward.But it don't really matter.

Dijon Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 About damn time he fucked off! If Axl kept going without Slash I´m sure he´ll manage without DJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkuk04 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Just need a new guitarist and get Fortus in a lead role. Get that next album out in next 3-18 months and tour the record, touring without a new album would be pointless and a blatant cash grab.

Route66 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) DJ was a decent guitarist. Good producer and song writer. It's a loss but did he join to further his own ambitions? Once again all i can see is decent guitarists using the GNR name. It's shit. We need a stable band or the original band of brothers back cussing everyone out and producing excellent music and tours once again. It will never work otherwise. Just my opinion.Part of what drew me to GNR in the first place was the "we dont give a fuck" attitude. Sadly lacking recently. Maybe tempers are high again towards certain recent ex-members? Maybe the shared different flavors of hate and anger will reunite the original classic GNR? Who knows. Edited August 11, 2015 by Route66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Just cleaned up/purged the last two pages of this thread. Attempts to sidetrack or disrupt the topic of conversation violates the rules. Please stay on topic. There is absolutely no need to introduce pictures of other band members in a thread about DJ quitting GNR.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 DJ quitting the band was a bad sign...I felt that he would have stayed if he thought Axl was touring next year. But the fact he probably isnt on the record might change things. Ron the same maybe. Fortus seems to be involved in the record so he's not quitting yet.

We know he's been unhappy with a lot since 2012 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are bands that form, write a new album completely from scratch, and tour in that amount of time. Axl already has the majority of a band and two albums worth of material already recorded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 For all we know, Axl finished most of the songs years ago and there were a couple of songs dropped from ChiDem. He could put an EP out today if he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustycage Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Waiting on new members has become the consistent excuse now? If that's the case, this is all a self-fulfilling prophecy by the inactivity always leading to members quitting. If you guys believe there has to be a new lineup in place before an album can be considered, GNR fans truly are cuckolds. The next excuse will be: they need to rerecord the new parts so their contributions can be heard. Followed by a couple of bad tours before people start really wondering again. Then another member leaves and it starts back at ground level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be doubtful.Maybe Axl finally saw the pictures of Ashba and Slash together. Big no noIt's an interesting thought. What makes me wonder is exactly HOW Slash was able to confirm on a recent TV interview that a lot of the problems he had with Axl/GNR in the past are no longer there. To me that sounds like the start of people talking again. Maybe not directly but at the very least through someone or some people. Duff? or Legal teams? I dunno.. 2+2 probably = 5 though. This is GNR of course.There's also the rumors around the last Vegas residency when Axl supposedly said some stuff Edited August 13, 2015 by Route66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXL_N_DIZZY Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 One person is forgotten in all this drama. Spare a thought for this person, They deserve it for making such a ridiculous decision.HAHA. Yep. I do think it's "salvageable" artistically/"message"-wise with a sizable Sixx: A.M. logo somewhere (maybe on the bottom?). That's a lot of long-term commitment to Dj Ashba though...
