The Real McCoy Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm sure he would. But I don't think Motley could carry on without Mick, and I think Vince, Tommy, and Nikki know that. I know they've all stooped pretty low, but Motley without Mick would be just as bad as Motley without Nikki - not to mention history has proven that Motley is totally irrelevant when an original member leaves. Mick is really the only reason I go to see Motley nowadays.The Crüe album with Corabi is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Mick would encourage this as well, which would be a crucial detail in terms of their decision not to retire the whole band and keep on going.In terms of DJ being willing to leave GNR for MC or not, i'm guessing it would entirely depend on how close they were to releasing new material at the time the opportunity came up. If DJ sees no progress with a new album, I would have a hard time seeing him stick around. Lets face it - he wouldn't be the first member to leave under the same circumstances.

dalsh327 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It's a good "what if" question to ask Nikki, but I think he'd only do it if they had committed to the dates and MIck fell through for health reasons. Mick's almost 63 and he's still going out on the road. I think Motley learned how to like each other again, if not, they wouldn't be doing it. But they seem to enjoy doing the shows and going through the motions night after night. I'm sure if there was a GNR/Motley "Get In The Ring" tour (it's inevitable, don't you think?), Ron and Mick would spend most of the time talking about physical therapy. But no, DJ wouldn't be a full time replacement to Motley and leave GNR to go to an even older band that's talked about calling it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I don't think DJ will ever leave Guns. The only way he'll be out is if Axl fires him from the band imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) DJ will jump ship when it suits his career. Only a fool would think otherwise. It might not be to Crue though. Edited February 3, 2013 by TheDiceMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go see it. Always wanted to see the Crüe live.Motley are a fun live band. Mick is really the only great musician out of the bunch though - Vince has always sucked live. It's always a great stage show though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 DJ said himself that he is a businessman first and a guitar player second. He'll go wherever the most money is. Als, he doesn't have his whole career ahead of him. He's in his fucking 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 GN'R is a far bigger gig than Motley.How do you figure? Motley is a much bigger draw in terms of touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck Fear Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I also believe that he would most likely try to juggle being in both bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I don't think Motley is a bigger draw on their own, but it's possible they made more money from things like CrueFest (although from what Lars said, festival shows can result in the band losing money). It's probably about the same in the US. I don't know about worldwide, but I think GNR are the bigger band in that case. The only reason Crue and GNR wouldn't tour together ties in to Axl going on late. Crue would have to let GNR close every night, unless Axl promised and delivered on doing some shows early.Just because DJ is an entrepreneur doesn't mean he's going to jump ship to a band that's been around for even longer. If he was going where the money's at, he'd probably be asking Fortus how much he was making with Rihanna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixx Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Mick is still kicking ass so no need to worry just yet!Knowing Dj he would probably juggle both jobs given the chance. I'm sure given the right schedules he could pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it Axl looks like a father to a lot of other members on stage not just DJ. The shades and hat and bulky clothings certainly don't help.
