wfuckinga Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 In all seriousness I do appreciate his work with Sixx: A.M. as that band rocks and I can't wait to see them tour again.Many people seem to love Sixx:AM but I just can't get into them much. When Life Is Beautiful was a big hit well before DJ came into GN'R, I just never dug it. I haven't heard much of the second album (they only have two so far, right?), but I didn't like the single much. I don't hate it or anything, I just don't like it.Imo, the best songs by Sixx: A.M. weren't the singles. I enjoy Sure Feels Right and Oh My God from This Is Gonna Hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saber_ Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I appreciate DJ's tophat, just because it pisses so many people off. Thank you for proving my point from the Sorum topic.Are you deranged? Seriously. Surely you're in touch with reality enough to admit that people on this very forum have a hard-on for talking shit about DJ, many times warranted, many times not. Furthermore, all you do is obsess over other posters. Why don't you take your own advice that you dole out ad nauseum and just discuss the topics without getting so emotionally invested. Now fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 http://ashbaswag.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=18Only $34 for a generic v-neck shirt. What a steal! No offense to DJ as a person, he's just living the capitalist American dream, but I do have to wonder how many people actually order his clothing. You would think if he had much of a fanbase they'd be around here, but honestly, it seems like the majority of people on this forum aren't fans of his. Maybe they're all on the Sixx:Am forums?

trqster Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Fact is that Axl seems to value and interact a lot with DJ during the gigs, so in that way he's an important part of Axl's band - that's the main thing. As a guitar player he's pretty good and shows some charisma on stage that others don't. All in all a good adition to Axl's band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetimer Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) I don't like his look and "style", ashbaswag looks horrible imo.I don't like his playing,... the guy doesn't really have significant or recognizable chops, but I have to wait for his work on new material before I'll definitely write him off... I've heard/seen him playing somebody else's solos (Slash, Finck) and I like the originals better because of the FEELING he lacks. I'm not 14 years old confused emo teenage chick so I can't drown in his "charisma" Edited October 18, 2013 by onetimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Diet Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The only thing that i can apreciate is he is willing to do some new stuff and he's trying to play "bluesier" Other than this: he is a bigger poser than Slash in his heydays. His guitar skills is average at best (which is only a bad thing if he plays other peoples material...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUnderScott Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 He seems like a really nice guy actually. I enjoy his enthusiasm on stage and his positive interaction with the crowd.

wfuckinga Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 I genuinely appreciate the enthusiasm he shows on and off stage. He does the M&G's, he follows fans on Twitter, He'll take pictures with you, he tries to get the crowd pumped up, he has fun onstage. Hate his 19 year old emo look at 40 all you want, but he's a nice guy imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
