papashaun Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I see some hate on Ashba from some of the previous comments...but I'll be honest....I wish I had the ability to play on or at his level...I'm musically challenged for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting Ron play those parts was a band choice imho. Tone is a matter of personal taste, for example I hate how Slash' classic LP sounds nowadays. The Goldtop instead is freakin' awesome. Robin tone was disgusting tbh For the persona matter...well, he came to greet us fans twice at the 2012 Gn'R show in Milan and seemed humble indeed. On stage he may look cocky, I agree with that, but as long he's cool in real life I'm ok. We'll agree to disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdinan Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 No hate on Ashba as a guy, or as a musician - but also no interest in Ashba instrumentals, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finck's November Rain solos were just unforgivable. It's night and day comparing any of these guys to Slash, not that it really needs to be said. Ashba was a cool dude. He and Ron were always good with the fans - but it's great that the material is played the right way in this Mickey Mouse fronted GNR.

The_General_13 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I always liked My love, but honestly it's ridiculous to pay for this 😂, I would have preferred to pay for the endless instrumentals of finck in 1997 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I wonder if Ashba himself paid for these leaks. I can’t fathom any other sane human being wanting to listen to these. I never minded these songs to be honest. Ashba is a joke but these were decent enough to listen to live in those days. Can’t say I have much interest in these leaks though.

Gackt Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 At least Bucket was nice enough to perform songs for his solo that were already long available on his solo albums for people who were interested on a free download album (Giant Robot NTT) except for Big Sur Moon, no less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to these 'My World' is top notch hit material. You should hear my Shackler’s If the World remix ft 50 cent and Eminem. It rocks the ballistics.

Now, I'm a bigger fan of herpes than I am of DJ Ashba, but that stuff that Buckethead did should never be part of a GnR gig either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I have always liked Ballad of Death and think it would be a great opener to an album.

I think Axl could have got a few pop metal songs out of him and maybe a consistent sound across a record. But it would have that glam pop metal feel. Ron would be used on Axl’s more epic material. And Fortus would hold it all together. I’d be interested in Axl singing on Dj’s solo album. That just seems like it would work in a fun way.

Can you elaborate?(not on the lame joke) What does guitar player like Finck brings to the table? Has he made any kind of impact in the rock world? Other than being the one that plays live songs written by X person? I don't see people talking about how many great songs he wrote, melodies or if he is able to come with killer guitar riffs. Or if his skill is superior to the thousands of session musicians around the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure these don't count at all. remember when Bumblefoot did the Pink Panther theme? he even had other GNR members playing at the studio version, but still it was considered his own thing. and we have nothing that suggests anyone else is playing on those than DJ (might be all machines). so I don't think these count as GNR.
