Sydney Fan 1,954 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I only got to 27 seconds before switching it off. I never understand how a muscian or artist like DJ can afford some nice luxuries while makibg crap like this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nesret 146 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Seeing this reminds me of a rarely mentioned problem regarding the new GnR-record. Slash has to fill this guy's shoes, so he will be VERY careful on what to put out next after this. Edited November 8, 2020 by Nesret 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soon 8,141 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The riff and lyric are a rip off of Maria Maria by Santana. A really, really bad rip off. 4 hours ago, Sydney Fan said: I only got to 27 seconds before switching it off.

Gordon Comstock 5,447 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Have you ever been walking through a mall during the holidays and thought to yourself: "This christmas music is awful. I wish it ROCKED, and also had some basic edm elements." Well then this is for you. (seriously though how many videos did he film at the same time?) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToonGuns 529 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I've said this before, but seriously... who is this trash for? How is he profiting off this? Fans of his former band are laughing at him, and I can't imagine him gaining any new "rock fans", and kids won't want to listen to an old man. On top of all of this it is dreadful. I DON'T UNDERSTAND! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sweersa 485 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 That Christmas video was pretty bad, or the music rather. Ashba did play the CD stuff way better than Slash does though, so he at least has that going for him, and some of the Sixx: A.M. stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sausagebrain 30 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Ashba's new music... On the plus side, at least he is putting new music out, unlike his old boss. On the minus side.. everything else. The songs and videos look like they could have been from a 5th rate David Guetta wannabe, ten years ago. Expect Ashba to discover trap music in about 2028.

CAFC Nick 346 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Think OP had this spot on when describing it as "cringe" I think the thing about Ashba that rubs people the wrong way is his lack of sincerity. For me, this shows it again. His rationale is that EDM is popular so he will follow popular, not caring if it sounds like trash. Anyway, wish no harm on the chap and fingers crossed it works out for him but this really isn't for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James Bond 5,143 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I know it's been brought up many times in this thread but after this latest Christmas trash I have to ask once again - who is his target audience for this stuff? I mean, good on him for having the music career we'd all like to have, but after listening to this trash I'm not sure I'd want to switch places. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah he's not really taken seriously in the music industry from what I've seen. That Christmas song was horrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Manfisman 353 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Not only the songs suck, his guitar tone sucks big time also. The thing is, the guy did some good music. Beatiful Creatures, the Crue album and the first two Sixx AM albums where cool (you could argue about the third one too). I guess that's more than I did, but he became a meme. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Homefuck 193 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I saw a video of ashba sitting by a pool playing a one-note solo many years ago. It was pretty cool, because the note was dissonant from the first couple of chords but after a couple of bars it fit right in. Then I saw that there was clip of him playing an instrumental named "ballad of death", though to myself "cool name (I was very young), this better be good". It wasn't. So, yeah the only thing I've enjoyed by ashba was the one-note solo. Like CAFC Nick I think it's his lack of sincerity that makes my body squirm when I see/hear him. There's a lot of people making music I dislike, but ashba is something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
