DaneisKing1389 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I kind of feel that he's doing this as DJ Ashba: Person and not DJ Ashba: Member of ______. That means he can talk about whatever he wants. He's doing it on his own time and in partnership with nothing other than himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ballad of Death seems like great intro to a cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saber_ Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I don't see why people are getting upset over DJ promoting his clothing line. It's not like Axl is releasing any new music for DJ to promote.Oooh sick burn!It's just the truth. Axl never gives these guys anything to promote, and then they eventually leave. That's how it is in New GNR.Well nonetheless you made a great point and I just wanted to convey that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Ballad of Death seems like great intro to a cd.yeah I dont see it in the middle of the album, the outro of BOD is really badass, somewhat epic. And then chained a monster riff, with a huge cry of axl like Chinese Democracy song or jungle. Yeah it can be pretty good.

Nick85 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Next time someone should ask if he has or is going to record new parts on any of the unreleased Chinese era tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneisKing1389 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I dunno what makes you think he wouldn't record new tracks. Bumblefoot came in and recorded new stuff. Fairly certain even Frank came in and re-recorded drums for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Broue Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Look I watched this for abit and heard what he said about This I Love, and that's fair enough that he changed it to suit him. DJ even himself admitted that Robin did an awesome job on the solo...I just prefer Robins version, but each to their own.Other than that, what was I saying in the other thread guys?. The guy promotes himself all the time, even to the extent of trying on different shirts, come on. This is vintage DJ, and everything about that webchat is the reason I don't like him personally in GN'R.Major props to DJ for admitting Robin did an awesome job on This I Love........ can't knock him for that. But everything else, like promoting his rings, coats, jackets, hats, shirts, guitars, jeans, etc..........I could do without honestly. My thought exactly.This is a little bit harsh for the GNR fans...I doesn't give a flying fuck about his marketing campaign.Talk about music, for god sake!

I think he should be allowed to talk about those during his own private live stream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that.That's too simple. Even when interviewed in his capacity as a GN'R member he might get questions outside the realm of GN'R, or he might see an opportunity to talk about his other interests. Nothing wrong in that, either. And if the interviewer disagrees, then those portions of the interview can easily be cut out. The fact that they aren't means the interviewer/magazine accepts it.

maynard Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Another South American Tour? I'm starting to get it. The guy lost his best years locked inside his house, he wants to tour for those years he spent in his hole. That's the only explanation.About DJ promoting himself... Nothing new here. It's his style, so be it. I personally don't like it. Reminds me of a song..."Answer me why I would choose to prostitute myself?"Man, I need to get some sleep.

SoulMonster Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I don't see the problem about plugging ashbaswag etc. He does not force you to tune in to the livestream. He comes accross a really decnt guy.Not only that, but having a company with employees, a board and responsibilities, he is obligated to advertise his products when the opportunity arises. Of course there is a balance here: you want to market your products but you don't want to annoy people. So you have to be smart about it. But there is also the mechanism where people who are not interested in what he sells, and might be biased against him because he is not "all that" in GN'R, might more easily take offence when he plugs stuff they are not interested in, especially when they want him to say something tangible about forthcoming GN'R releases. I just don't think there is a way he can please everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't a band supposed to tour - write material - tour - write material - tour? This band is tour after tour since 2009 (don't even want to talk about the 2001 or the 2006 line-up).

SoulMonster Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Don't they get tired of it?Uhm, apparently not? .Isn't a band supposed to tour - write material - tour - write material - tour?If so you can be certain GN'R won't do that, because they never do what they are "supposed" to do. . Besides, your recipe for bands above doesn't say anything about how long the touring between the music is supposed to be, so I guess they are following the "rules".
