"I didn't join Guns N Roses to only play guitar. I write songs everyday" Dj Ashba

[Guest Gunns]

GUNS N Roses guitarist DJ Ashba has paid tribute to Melbourne beauty Nicky Whelan for healing his heart.

Ashba said: "We met for a reason and we gave it a good run.

"She is a really cool girl and she helped me grow."

Ashba and Whelan, now a Hollywood-based actor, split in 2011 after dating for a year.

Back then, Ashba said Whelan had taught him to trust in love.

He added yesterday: She is a great actress and we're still buddies. I will wish her nothing but the best."

Guns N Roses play in Perth on March 9, Sydney on March 12, Melbourne on March 16 and 17, and Brisbane on March 20.

Ashba said the band has written "a ton" of new songs for an album.

"It's a matter of deciding which songs to pick for the new record," he said.

"I'm excited about the future. I didn't join Guns N Roses to only play guitar. I write songs everyday."

Listening to that a new album sounds promising. I still wanna hear the old CD stuff tho.

The intrepid posters of this forum will hold him to his word.

[ZoSoRose]

if you told me a new Star Wars movie was coming out before a new Guns record was a year ago, id laugh....

whoops

[T.wa.T]

I guess that's kinda good, even through he's claimed that before.

[bacardimayne]

lol

[downzy]

Says a guy who's been in the band for 4-5 years without an album to show for it.

Didn't BBF do an interview about a week ago that contradicts the 'written a ton of songs' statement. I can't work out what the hell is happening as regards new music. It's like they're all in a different band from each other.

That's gotta be a straight-up lie.

[NachoLZ]

lol i think he reffers to the cd era leftovers

That's gotta be a straight-up lie.

DJ has said this many times and I'm taking it with a grain of salt.

But I didn't invent it...saw it somewhere on the Net and I really liked what it delivers and I think it suits this forum.

I agree

Hopefully this is true.

Seems like Axl and Beta have a TON of music to choose from.

Hopefully the millions of Axl Rose fans out there will get to enjoy all that music someday!!!!

It may not be what he joined for but it's what he has been hired to do. So many contradictions with new material.

Axl: It's in the label's hands

BBF: We just need to work on one song at a time(insinuating that there is a lack of material)

DJ: We have a ton of songs and it's just a matter of choosing which songs for the record.

Meanwhile, Dizzy is running around telling everyone this is the REAL GNR. Complete confusion

[jimb0]

And he's the only one in the band that is saying this. He writes songs everyday, but what will Axl do with them (if anything) remains to be seen, or never to be seen. Poor DJ

Finally the answers we needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Coma16]

These song are very likely cuts from CD sessions. Still amazing news if they are in the song selections process though!

[WhazUp]

Unfortunately having enough material for a new album hasn't been the issue, hopefully the material comes to life on something other than tapes stored away in the GNR vault

Although it is cool that DJ still has enthusiasm towards it all

Yes, I'm sure millions of Guns N' Roses fans do hope that
