    Ashba: I think the difference is to be mature in what you do and the choices you make.

    Alison Richter, the Music Industry Examiner, conducted an interview with the guitarist from Guns N 'Roses / Sixx: AM, DJ Ashba. Some excerpts from the chat follow:

    Music Industry Examiner: You were raised in a religious family. Your faith has an important role in your life?

    DJ Ashba: He has a very important role. I do not go to church every Sunday, only at Christmas, but I still pray every night and thank God for everything I have, because it can all end tomorrow. I'm lucky. I work very hard and I'm very lucky to have two arms, two legs, two hands. I could be hit by a car and everything was over. I thank God every night, it makes me feel good. I'm not very attached to a Bible, but at the same time, it settled on me when I was young, that's what helped me go through several barriers.

    Industry Music Examiner: How did you become interested in graphic design?

    DJ Ashba: I did cartoons for a newspaper for four years when I was young. I was always drawing, and then I started working with Photoshop. Ashbaland is my world, into my music. Ashba Media is my graphic design agency for desktops and wallpapers for cell phones. I love film soundtracks, and while we were doing "The Heroin Diaries" (album by SIXX: AM's), I knew I could make orchestral music. My mother is a teacher of classical piano and I grew up listening to this song. My influences are John Williams and Danny Elfman. I listened to film music as a child, and now I'm starting to do this kind of music. I am building the Ashba Media with good clients, with my brand Ashbaland Ashba and Music.

    Music Industry Review: What led you to work as a producer?

    DJ Ashba: I had worked with it before the Sixx: AM, but not much. I've always done things alone. I think it's super important to learn the gear you use every day in your business, so every day since I was little, I recorded a guitar riff's on my tape recorder and then played the recording at this in another deck. I was terrible, but I was young and learning. So I started recording 4 tracks. I got to know the equipment, and when invented the Pro Tools, I learned more. I do not know, but I was becoming a producer. I had to learn to produce what I wrote.

    Music Industry Examiner: What is the difference between playing guitar and being a guitarist?

    DJ Ashba: I think the difference is to be mature in what you do and the choices you make. Put everything into a song and know when to go and when to withdraw. I respect anyone who wants to be a good musician and I would never discourage anyone. But there are people in this world who are living as if for the wrong reasons, and that's sad. To be a real guitar player there is nothing beyond the art of playing guitar. I did not know I could make money from it. I spent most of my life starving and I did not care because I loved what I did. Making money now is the icing on the cake. I hate bands that are literally clones of other bands, because it is not original enough to have recognized the work to develop a style. It's disgusting. That's the difference: they do not want to take advantage of many years of hard work and dedication. They prefer to copy someone with a different style and still say they are of his own. It makes me tremble. It's embarrassing. The answer to this question, the difference between the two, is that being a guitarist means to be faithful to what you do. You can lie to yourself, but others will understand. Guitar is an art and requires years of dedication. It's not something you learn overnight. It is a very long road and you will stumble, but at the end of the day, which will make you a real guitarist, is persistence and never giving up.

    Adler: "Personally, I would do for free!"

    Straight.com In an interview with Steven Adler spoke again about the possible reunion of the classic Guns N 'Roses. "Personally, I would do for free! I will not do, but would. For two reasons: 1) We owe it to the fans. 2) I want to finish what I started with those guys. For 20 years, said they pulled me out, but then I started working with Dr. Drew and took responsibility for my life and actions, I realized that I threw away the chance. "

    Smith also talked about how special it is no longer being in a rock band. "It used to mean something being in a band, pay the bills by working hard and rehearsing, get a recording contract. It was meant to be the best. Now people make records in their bedrooms. It is no longer something special. The world needs a new band Rock and Roll. Every ten years a new surge. I know that Buckcherry tried. But it seems that God kept me on this planet for a reason, which is to gather as Guns N 'Roses. "
