Requesting evidence of a good DJ Ashba song

[Lio]

I believe DJ when he says he wants to. I also believe however that he should shut the hell up and stop creating unrealistic expectations because obviously it's not happening.

Where you one of the guys who made fools of themselves by claiming Chinese Democracy would never come out? We had to wait 15 years for CD, we have only waited 6 for a follow-up...

Yes, I'm the fool for mocking an album that took 15 years.

Plus you can't possibly feel it's productive that everybody keeps saying that they're writing stuff and working on stuff while absolutely nothing comes out for years. It's just frustrating to fans and therefor stupid to do.

I understand what you mean and it is foolish and frustrating, but what are they to say, at the end of the day ? They are probably working on things, but like you said, I think we all agree that it's not the band members that are holding up a release or the recording of a new album. I hate it every time someone even asks a band member about new music, because you know what they're going to say and you know it means absolutely nothing. It certainly doesn't mean we'll have a new album coming our way shortly.

I think Dizzy said they were looking which songs could go on the album, that was last summer, if I'm not mistaken. Now Axl said he would be seriously looking to see what he'd do in that regard (new music). That to mean sounds just the same as what Dizzy said a year ago. Let's just hope Axl is putting an album together.

So much of what I'm hearing is just so damn predictable, and in a clichéd way. His tone is often pretty bad too. A lot of cheese.

You can track the level of ambition and innovation Axl had planned by the guitarists he's had in GnR since slash left.

Buckethead was a guy that's incredibly talented, plays guitar that would be suitable in almost any genre of music. He is innovative, willing to push himself when needed and knows when to hold back and when something is too much in a song. This is when Axl was also at a time when Axl was willing to push things musicially, and therefore wanted Bucket on board to overcome these challenges and reach these goals.

Since Bucket left, and Bumblefoot came on board, he pushed the music a little more (allbeit some people think it was unnecessary in the additions on CD) but you have to admit some of his additions for example to the title song of CD were quiet good.

Since Axl employed DJ to be the latest guitarist in the band, we've had nothing but mediocrity in all definitions of the word. From very average and below average live performances from DJ to bullshit lies about how the band has written new music (From dj) and then we find out the truth from others such as Bumble that nothing has actually been done.

Below is basically a comprehensive set of statistics that I entered into an industry standard statistical graphical user interface program, and this is the output of the aforementioned hypothesis.

I really like the solo in 'Accidents Can Happen', even though it sounds really basic. It works for me.

[TeeJay410]

The songs themselves are inoffensive, generic radio rock. Some people are into that, cool, whatever. However, the guitar work at best is average and at worst is god fucking awful. I'm not a fan of that kind of rock music, but I'll acknowledge that it achieves what it sets out to do. It gives people with ford pickup trucks a reason to crack a bud light, nod their heads, and say "fuck yeah." But the guitars, particularly the solos, are generic and thoughtless, and often played with a god awful tone. Not to mention he doesn't do anything that most anyone who plays lead guitar can't do. That's not a requirement if guitar playing, but when you have nothing else going for you creatively then it could only help.

[DR DOOM]

Id probably really like DJ, Sixx AM or the Beautiful Creatures if I was going through puberty, had a lot less testosterone, had a lot less taste, was a 14 year old girl, was hearing impaired or a combination of any or all of these things.

Labias and Genitals, you can't polish a turd...but you can put sprinkles on it.

[WFA]

The riff on This Is Gonna Hurt (posted by Silent Jay) is OK. It's workable at least. Song as a whole sucks. Solo sucks.

What's becoming clear to me is that if DJ's a guitarist at all (debatable ) he's definitely most valuable as a studio guy and co-writer, and least valuable as a live performer, so what the fuck? Unless it really is all cynical as hell and he's only there for the image, Slash lookalike, Hogan ear, hashtag bullshit.

Edit: song I listened to is Live Forever. I guess This Is Gonna Hurt is album title?

This Is Gonna Hurt is the album title and the first song's name. I prefer Lies of the Beautiful People to This Is Gonna Hurt though

also

Glam sucked too. Glad GNR moved away from it.

[DR DOOM]

I think the underlying point here is that he has never done anything worthy or the "Guns N Roses" name.

GNR were always a cut above the generic hair bands, it saddens me to see Axl settle for a cookie cutter try hard like Ashba, and I will eat my leather pants if anything good comes out of it.

[spgunner]

A bunch of tunes of his solo album Addiction to Friction plus 3 songs never released with vocals. Worth listening to:

That really is the long and the short of it. Slash + Buckethead + Finck + BBF + ASHBA?!?!?! Doesn't add up.

I can actually. Where is Slash ? How can we compare with the old one on that basis ?

Fair enough he did the Motley thing, as much as I like their early stuff and Generation Swine they had a bit of the bubblegum schlock almost straight away but Ashba isn't cut from the GNR cloth.

Please analyze the statistics used in the graph. It clearly states as per the hypothesis put forward, that its between the years (2000-2014). You just cant argue with science

It pretty much sounds like the music in a mortal combat rip off game.

That album cover is almost as bad as the songs.
