Frozen Inferno Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I love the way the song is done live, really top notch shit but when ashba does his own rendition of the finck solo it really really blows imo, and its supposed to be the best part of the song ....richard should just jump in and show him how its rly done. i bet tommy could do it better too.

Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I think his version is good. I'm more of a Finck fan but IMO Ashba does the licks that are played during the "naa naa naa naas" even better than him. Really dig the picktapping thing.

Mindray08 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 maybe you should make a remix of it, i'm 100% sure that it's gonna be amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stro Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) I have no issues with any of DJ's versions of Robin's solos, but his I.R.S. solo is horrible. It is to the album version that Robin's SCOM solo was to Slash's. Edited December 15, 2010 by Stro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Inferno Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) mindray08,i cant guarantee it'll be as great as my 'Prostitute" remix, but im 100% sure itll be better than anything u ever put together..anyway, dj does a great sorry, and this i love solo, but he should stay away from better, its the best gnr song since you could be mine.

The Glow Inc. Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Not fond of his TIL solo ( but I don't love the original one either ) but really love his IRS solo for one. The Lille bootleg for instance, sounds great there.I don't think his Better solo is THAT different. The end turns into something that sounds quite like DJ and I don't mind it at all.Used to want Robin back when he joined but I soon realised that it was just a matter of time before he would stop screwing up in the middle of the lead parts, unlike Robin.Besides, DJ is an amazing entertainer. Very refreshing player. Not an incredible guitarist ( still very far from bad, listened to both Beautiful Creatures and his ASHBA album and he's got the chops ) but he's got that very positive energy and attitude and you can really tell that he loves being on that stage.

The Glow Inc. Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Well, Robin has a very unique playing...but he really wasn't any good with Slash's material, especially the NR solo ( though I've always liked his SCOM solo ).DJ does a pretty good job with Slash's. As far as DJ's writing skills...We'll have to wait and see. I have to agree that while I really like his Beautiful Creatures parts, there are nothing special, unlike most of Robin's work on Chinese.

Steamboat Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ashba will never be able to play as awesome as Robin, the band is missing robin's unique touch since he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 DJ does a pretty good job with Slash's. which is quite a big plus, certainly outweighs how he plays the Better or TIL solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Robin>Darren. That's my opinion anyway. Darren's pretty much just a copy and paste sort of guy where as Robin's more original and has his own style. I think his style fit the new band's direction much better.That's just my opinion though.

Andrew07 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 i think he does the better solo just great, and i love his version of the TIL solo, but his irs takes some growing, i get what hes trying to do with the solo but robins is really good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman007 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Well Robin is my fav. in the lineup and I think DJ is getting better in that solo. When DJ started it was kind of weak, but has really improved. I know "better" left the setlist for a while, I wonder if it had anything to do wit DJ not being able to play that song like Robin did?

I used to msis Robin on stage, but right now Ashba's much better live player/entertainer. I like his Better solo as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Well Robin is my fav. in the lineup and I think DJ is getting better in that solo. When DJ started it was kind of weak, but has really improved. I know "better" left the setlist for a while, I wonder if it had anything to do wit DJ not being able to play that song like Robin did?Probably not, considering songs like If The World and Shackler's Revenge which were staples on the early half of the tour are hardly being found either and DJ has no leads on either of those. Shackler's has found its way back a few times but I can't even recall the last time they played If The World. When Better is left out it's pretty random. If it had been left out for a large chunk of time before being brought back then maybe I'd say DJ wanted to re-learn it. However, since it has an in-out-in-out kind of pattern in some of the recent setlists, I do not see that being the reason.Since they make up the setlists as they go (save for the first handful of songs), I think sometimes it's easy to "forget" about a certain song. They might look back 10 minutes after the show has ended, laugh, and go "Oh shit, we forgot to play *insert name of song here*" which I know I've even done with my band a few times at rehearsals. Hell, I recall reading of a show on the Illusion tour where they didn't even play Jungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
