axldoyle Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Even though Chinese Democracy was a great album I always thought that it lacked the punch of previous albums, CD had some grandiose moments but no killer riffs, it also had too many things going on at once, the finger tapping and fretless guitar work was also a bit of a bad addition (no matter how hard it is to play technically it just isn't Guns) . Since Dj joined there seems to be more of a blues feel and the general backbone of the band seems to be back. Do you guys think that any of the songs Dj has made for Axl will fit the bill? Is this guy the real deal or just a stage show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 This scenario is completely unrealistic. For instance, it suggests Axl is making an album. Silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkAboutYou Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I would hope Axl just uses the Chinese Democracy leftovers and has Ron tweak a few things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimb0 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 After cd I'd be willing to give DJ a shot. I enjoyed new Orleans and the heroin diaries. Let DJ work on some Rythm, bbf adds some sleaze and more complication, let Tommy add some punk amd Richard the slash role. This band could create a kick ass record that blows cd away... If axl gets his voice up to par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Like CD was given a modern sound by Finck and Bucket, a 90s feel... Dj will prob give the next one an early 2000 feel. I dont expect the dynamics of GNR to change but it will be a different flavour of GNR Hubba Bubba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Axl needs a good producer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I dont really like Rick Rubin but hes proven to be able to get the core of a band right. Mike Clink is obvious one. Maybe Bob Rock. But thats a whole new project. I think if they trusted Rubin on 10 tracks, hed guide them back to a more acceptable GNR sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Axl needs somebody who is more hands on than Rubin. He should get the guy from TV on the Radio who did the latest Beady Eye album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Im not sure, maybe he just needs hands off. Because hes basically got the final word. If Tv on the Radio guy or Bob Rock come in and crack the whip will Axl jump. But I doubt Axl would like it if Rubin came in and say think back to 1987 either. But if they want a new album that people might like retro nostalgia is probably the only way. Nobody even wants groundbreaking from GNR. They just want AFD 2. It will probably be Axl and Cazam again unless Dj gets involved. Edited July 28, 2013 by wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manny Manner Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'm not sure about DJ- I honestly don't really like the Sixx AM stuff or the other solo stuff I've heard here and there. He's a good enough guitarist I suppose, but I much preferred Bucket/Finck to Bumble/DJ. Regardless, I don't think we'll see another album from Axl while he's still alive. That's just my opinion.

wasted Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I think the sound Dj has on Sixx am could work. What other options do they have? they will probably never record again anyway, true. Its either done now or its over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowebar Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Axl really needs to just give Izzy a call and fucking swallow his pride and ask his best fucking friend to help him write a few lousy songs. Actually sit down and work with Izzy and BBF/DJ/Richard and eventually, the whole band, with zero distractions and kick out the jams. Within a month, they'd have a truly serious, kick-ass GNR album. Guaranteed.Axl and Izzy are like Lennon/McCartney, Page/Plant and Jagger/Richards.They write better songs when they work together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceguy Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 DJ Ashba is a fake, a phony, a poseur. Heroin Diaries sucked. Go ahead and tell me that fucking SixxxxAMMMM will be looked at historically in the same league as Led Zeppelin or the Beatles. Go fucking tell me that.God you fucking morons.

jimb0 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I never said DJ was in some all star class. But u can't tell me girl w golden eyes isn't an amazing song. Btw I'd take izzy any day.

phaeryen Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I think for a rock n roll songwriter, DJ has got the goods. Finck is the real mascot poodle of the bunch with no real playing skills. DJ atleast knows how to write songs and operate in a studio and we know he has been bringing Axl demos, already! I think this might very well be one of the reasons why Axl likes the dude. He doesn't whine to the press about not getting in a room with other men to "jam", which is what bumble does when asked about a new album. He just, you know, when he is graced by the presence of the Gingerhaired One, he just goes Hey, Ax, take listen to this lil idea I got. then gives him an mp3 player with a song sketch on it. for my money he is 100000 times the man compared to "i wanna get paid to be in a room to jam" bumblefoot.

Roush Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Well, Chinese blew, and it featured a wealth of musical talent (Mantia, Bucket, Finck, Stinson.) Something tells me guys named "DJ Ashba", and "Bumblefoot" aren't going to help that cause.All in all, I'd enjoy a Stinson solo record, more-so than Axl's next release.

wasted Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I just think Dj will add a glam metal, hard rock feel to the record and his written some good stuff for motely and sixx am, Axl could improve those songs. Also I think hes a GNR fan so he knows what is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr420 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I think DJ will give old school gnr fans an album they want. The tracks he worked on with Crue were the best ones on the album and definitely what the fans wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerwave Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 DJ Ashba is a traitor and he should be fired and sued. I can't believe that he has been writing songs by himself. Clearly he is trying to take over the band, just like Slash did with the material that became the first Snakepit record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
