zombux Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I also kind of like these two. not anything great, just some listenable guitar solos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan442 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 3 hours ago, Gackt said: Most of the hate comes from either the AshbaSwag bullshit, or butchering some iconic solos with his unique interpretations that made Axl & Ron Thal's eyes roll into their heads during shows. There's also the case of him being a 45 year old man thinking he's part of gen z. Wasn't there a show where Tommy or Ron were laughing at DJ with Axl behind his back - I can't remember where I seen this at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 6 hours ago, RussTCB said: We have threads for the only real / confirmed leaks that surfaced. Just saying, but the last time someone posted a studio clip of one of these and asked Ashba about it a few years ago, he claimed he never recorded a studio version of them.

zombux Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 just saying: my idea is that these two and Better were done by DJ around at the same time, during 2009, probably somewhat like fall 2009, before the tour started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 If you can get past the thought of Axl letting DJ Ashba become an integral part of GNR while aping everything Slash did and then addng a twist of emo to it (I know, you can’t), they’re not horrible to listen to. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not liking his performance is understandable, but Ballad of Death is just beautiful. Loved his version to the Don't Cry and WTTJ first solo. I think Robin was genious in studio, but some of his adaptations were not that good, Ashba was more faithful to the originals, yet, putting some identity on it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not liking his performance is understandable, but Ballad of Death is just beautiful. I don't personally have anything against DJ, but I can't stand Ballad of Death. IMO it's the worst thing, ever to be associated with GNR. It's not beautiful to my ears at all. It sounds like an amateurs attempt at making something soulful, but that's all it is. An attempt. It sounds cheesy and superficial without any true feeling. Sounds EXACTLY like all those wannabe GNR bands out there. But yeah, that's just me. Cool if you like it. Just don't assume that people dislike it cause they hate Ashba. I've never had anything against DJ and I was always curious to see if he could write a cool GNR tune. Ballad of Death is absolute trash though, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombux Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 realistically - in 2018, who gives a damn about DJ being in GNR anyway? I mean, sure, hardcore fans know him (and either like him, hate him or are indifferent), but casuals have no idea this guy was ever in the band. so let's just let this be and don't beat a dead horse.

Did you show them Appetite as some of the work he has produced with Guns? "Here he is on the front cover with the fancy hat..." #demented Fair play to you though in managing to get them interested in the music you like!
