Guns N’ Roses’ DJ Ashba Cites Production Issues for Band’s Concert Tardiness

Guns N’ Roses have taken a few knocks in recent years for appearing onstage late or rolling past curfews as a result, but one of the main reasons for that occurrence is the production value that they’re bringing to audiences around the world.

Guitarist DJ Ashba tells Australia’s Yahoo7 News that the production issues are a common reason for the delay in getting the band to the stage. He explains, “We have a huge rig and pyrotechnics so often it’s the case of fitting all that into the venue. Our number one priority is to make the shows safe. [The criticism from fans on social media] kills us as a band because we’re not doing any of this on purpose. Our main goal is to go and give the fans a show they will never forget and we understand how expensive tickets are. We take that into account and when we do hit the stage, it’s almost impossible to get us off.”

The guitarist also addressed the sometimes negative perception of frontman Axl Rose in the media, explaining, “I think a lot of people and the press try to blow it up and say he’s an a–hole, but everyone can be an a–hole if you get them on the wrong day. One thing people don’t seem to get is that he’s genuinely funny and he’s always joking around and telling stories to make people laugh. I always say that if he wasn’t a musician, he’d be a great comedian. I wish the world could see that side of him because it’s the opposite of what people have branded in their brains.”

Even though Ashba is one of the last members to join the current Guns N’ Roses lineup, he says that Rose has done nothing but treat his bandmates like gold since he started. He adds, “He lets us write our own solos and gives everybody their time to shine on stage and I think that says a lot about who he is. He has no problem sharing the spotlight, in fact he quite likes it.” Guns N’ Roses will next take the stage this March in Australia.

There is no point in this, especially if you don't have a link to the latest story at the top of the page like this http://www.gunsnfnroses.com/.

I want to become a male nurse and fuck the old men in their sleep.

Estranged

Pretty Tied Up

Locomotive

IRS and PTU are pretty much tied, but I just went with PTU.

New Miser?

Shackler's

OMG

Better

Coma is probably the better song over OMG but, the sound effects make the album version almost unlistenable for me.

This is the first I've heard that Rick Rubin is involved in this.

I'm surprised he's still allowed to work after Death Magnetic.

You were suspended from using it because you were abusing it to continue your silly little wars with the mods.Doing so is against the rules.

You will not be using threads for this purpose.

Status update suspension stands at least until High is home from vacation.

Please consider dropping the matter until that time, failure to do so will most likely result in another suspension.

Gee, a notification would have been nice, would it not? I believe that's what your supposed to do, correct?

I will be using threads for that purpose, I can assure you.

You tell me to drop the matter, yet you fail to inform me that I'm suspended in the first place until now. Great modding as usual.

HV gave you an explanation for this: http://www.mygnrforu...30#entry3279903

I also told you, and apologized for it, for not getting a notification about it. No one's perfect. Be a big boy and suck it up at this point.

Zint told you that it'll stay like that at least until HV is back from vacation. Live with it for now, dude. No one even fucking reads the status updates, or cares about them.

I didn't abuse the feature though, so that explanation does not apply. Zint says he suspended the feature because I was using it for my "war on the mods". Funny because

A. If any such war existed he would be the soul cause of it and

B. I infact wasn't using it for anything related to the mods what so ever.

I was suspended from using the feature after making a status update joking about "Smash". The two people who commented on my status were also suspended from using the feature which proves that this particular update was the reason for my suspension. Since the update neither falls under the catagory of "abusing the feature" or having a "war with the mods", I haven't been given an explanation at all. It was just another excuse.

Edit: war with the mods? All I did was make a joke about "Smash". What does that have to do with the mods? Feel free to PM me the exact update you found offensive - if it exists. You suspended the two other's who commented on my status update about Smash. That's all it was about. Cut the shit.

Since when does Marc's opinion on the music industry matter? I mean, no offense to the guy at all or anything, but let's be real.

Going Down has some Tommy vocals.

How do you know?

I'd expose Mr. Zint for the *insert many horrible things here* that he really is and get him fired.

Because it does.

They won't play Estranged. I'll make sure of it.

tl;dr

Ron should sing the whole albbum.

SKYPE CREW ASSEMBLE!!!!

And yet tsunta is free to roam...smh.

Do you?

Isn't Robin Plants dead?

I can't make status updates. Since no one has bothered to notify me of this, I must assume it's a forum glitch. Please fix.

Any word on this yet?

yawn

Not really, no.

Which piano man do you prefer?

Mozart and Beethoven.

Both are significantly more talented than either Joel or John. In fact if I just said Joel or John to someone, they'd say Joel and John who? Never have to use Mozart's or Beethoven's first names to clarify who we're talking about. That's the difference between genius and commercially successful.

lol
