Cosmo Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 You wake up. Take a dump. Take a bath. Change yourself. Decide to check your pc before going to work. You log into your MyGnR account. You see the announcement of the end of nuGnR. Here's the question: Which of the current band members (excluding Axl) do you think would have the brightest career from that day on and why?

IndiannaRose Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 DJ Ashba.My reasons?- I think his business will grow (at least one of his ventures will prove to be succesful).- I think he'll score another couple of rock radio hits.- He seems to be happy with what he's doing/who he is.A close second to me is Richard Fortus (a fantastic session/touring musician with a seemingly great passion for his craft).

jman2000 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Probably Ashba... Yet I do like Bumblefoot a lot and would probably still follow him a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumbleine Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Ashba.he's basically a good sales man.one of his ventures has to pay off.I wish Tommy the best though,would love for a Mats reunion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NachoLZ Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Ashba,-He still has Sixx:AM-The Merchandising with his line of cars and his clothes-He can go solo and still would have many fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansidhe Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 In terms of just making a living from actual music, I'd say either Richard or Bumble. Both incredibly skilled musicians and clearly having worked with someone like Axl for so long will have shown that they have a lot of patience. Before Guns I think Ron was already kinda well known in the shred world and Richard was a quality session player but obviously being involved with GN'R will have raised their profiles significantly.

sweetness Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 All the love for Ashba now huh ?bitchesi hate Ashba but he's the easy answer to this question, he has many high profile ties outside of GNR and is already lead guitarist in another successful band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesecake Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Without doubt Ashba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbo Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Ashba, as much as I hate to admit it. He's got fall backs the other guys don't.Maybe fortus getting a session gig here and there, but nothing too significant. Maybe tommy as well if the mats go on a full-blown reunion tour. But both just maybe.The rest would, no doubt, go back to where they were before. Basically, with the exception of Ashba for sure, they would all fall off the face of the earth and nobody would bat an eye.

Randy Lahey Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I've always kind of figured that DJ would end up replacing Mick Mars in the Crue after Mars retires. Edited January 22, 2013 by Randy Lahey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen8R Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I've always kind of figured that DJ would end up replacing Mick Mars in the Crue after Mars retires.That would actually be a great fit for him.On topic, Ashba is an easy call. Regardless to who you like more in the band, it's clear that Ashba has a higher profile background than anyone else in the band aside from Uncle Axl.

Sixx Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 What if they all decided to stick together and form a band without Axl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 DJ without a doubt, he has got Sixx AM and already the most name recognition out of everyone else - he would have no problem staying close to Nikki Sixx and write for Motley again when the time came Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) I don't care who has the brightest future. I don't care for any of them. They've all dedicated their lives to butchering classic GN'R material. The sooner they all get on with their solo's careers the better.

Facekicker Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I wouldn't spend so much as 1 minute to find out what Dizzy,DJ,Tommy,Frank,Chris & Richard were doing next.I'd keep tabs on Axl, the same as I do with the rest of GNR - Izzy,Slash,Duff&Adler.

Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) The answer to the question is DJ Ashba, he's a player with hit pedigree and a semi-franchise. Richard Fortus would be the next best survivor in the event of the dissolvement of GN'R. He'd find work as the world class session musician he is.Tommy has a considerable fanbase and could continue to sell albums. He could also reunite the Replacements if it was financially necessary. Then Bumblefoot. His cult support would implode slightly like Buckethead's did when he left. But he would still continue to work with more obscure artists. Chris Pitman would be similar to Bumblefoot in the sense that the two are the most talented but simply do not have the same level of commercial appeal. Pitman would maintain a buck from his computers/producing/art.Frank Ferrer would secure work with semi-well known bands on tour/in session. Then there's Dizzy who is washed up and relies completely on the loyalty of Axl Rose. If GN'R were to stop it would mark his deathknell. He'd probably do a lot of crack and make cash off his former association with the iconic band that is GN'R in Sin City or somewhere.
