WhazUp Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I liked DJ's enthusiasm when he first started with GNR however I find his guitar playing to be not anywhere near the other members in GNR and his gimmicks have become just old and silly.I dont care about how he looks, I do care about his unremarkable guitar playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 News flash: Most rock fans don't like clones.Slash is kind of a clone of Joe Perry, Jimmy Page, Brian May?I think it's that Dj is a replacement clone. but he's more Crüe, which some Guns fans thought are are better than that. Not a hair metal band. It's closer to home, slightly gayer. NIN Robin is different enough to not pluck that string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axlspants Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I don't I quite like him. I've seen him 4 times with GnR and I think he's a good guitar player. I think he tried a bit too hard to be a "Rock Star" when he's a bit too much of a nice guy for that.I'm not overly keep on the constant self promotion but we all got to make a living I suppose.Anyway, I just wanted to point out that we don't all hate him.

Damn_Smooth Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hate is too strong of a word. I'd love him if he left GN'R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay410 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 DJ's style is annoying sure, but it wouldn't be half as annoying if he were ripping it up on stage. I mean dear god most of us were cool with a guy in a bucket and a rain coat. When Robin sounded weird (read: bad) on songs, it at least was a conscious decision. DJ is just incompetent.

One.In.A.Million Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It's a combination of his image and his guitar skills or lack there of. It's because it's clear to the audience that he struggles to play the simplest riffs and solo's. His image in my view is just the deal breaker for me why this guy should not be in Guns, period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War2k14 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I like his work on the heroin diaries... Nothing special but not terrible. He just can't capture the feel of robins solos at all. Sometimes he does slash a little justice.. Some of his estranged parts seemed decent other times he just sounds drunk. Inconsistent is an understatement.. Hits more brown notes a concert than Richard and Bumble have in their entire career with gnr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangoSkank Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It kind of reminds me of when Robin was in the band..He got so much hate from people on the forum, now it seems like 95% of the people on here want him back..Funny how this place works..Right!? I was amazed when I started coming here and saw the love the 2002-06 era players get. I clearly remember the GNR Forum world being very hostile towards the new band in the past. Though, in fairness, I think Finck grew on people a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel Nash Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Stage presence is ok, playing is ok. At least enough to enjoy a gig.But i can't judge his work unless i hear him playing in new GNR songs. So far, his work covering Robin is shit.

Jakey Styley Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 He brings it upon himself. Too much of what he says is either part of his front/persona, or an outright lie. I also despise his style and find his playing boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roush Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Average players (DJ/Ron) replaced extraordinary musicians (Bucket/Robin), who in turn replaced legendary ones (Slash/Izzy). Would you be happy with a third-stringer quarterback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I don't think he's a bad guitarist, I actually think he's good. It's his personality and look that I don't like. I don't like his attitude, for some reason, never met him, but he comes across as kind of self absorbed. As far as his look goes, I can't stand the whole emo/goth look.... Richard kind of has it, but it isn't bad. Dj's is full on goth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I wouldn't be more accepting. His style is just the icing on his suck cake. If he weren't such a poser, he'd still have no contributions to GNR, and he'd still be fucking up a good number of his parts during shows, and he'd still be a musician far below the caliber of those you'd hope Axl would be working with.How would you feel if Axl dumped DJ, Pittman and Dizzy. Took the rest of the guys to the studio for a few months and they released a straight forward rock n roll album. Not years of tinkering, re-recording, layering - just wrote, recorded and released an album within a year.Fuck yes to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
