GUNS N' ROSES NAMES DJ ASHBA AS BAND'S NEWEST AXEMAN

Guns N' Roses is proud to announce that guitarist n' songwriter Dj Ashba has joined the band for an upcoming tour.
Ashba, who officially replaces current NIN guitarist Robin Finck, is best known as co-founder of hard rock bands Sixx AM and Beautiful Creatures.
"Dj's a gifted, energetic guitarist that Guns N' Roses is proud to have on board!!" exclaims Axl Rose. "We're very excited to have the opportunity to work together. Guns' radar has silently been aware of Dj's presence for quite some time! He brings a fresh approach to our particular brand of mayhem expanding the tapestry of Guns N' Roses live. Once Dj's name was in the hat, the hat disappeared!!"
"It's an honor to have the opportunity to be a part of a band that I have always loved and respected," said Dj Ashba.
"I'm looking forward to working with Axl, who is not only one of the few great front men of our generation, but a true artist."
Dj Ashba co-wrote and co-produced Motley Crue's latest album "Saints of Los Angeles," which garnered a 2008 GRAMMY nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance, as well as co-wrote and co-produced the Sixx AM album "Heroin Diaries."
Robin continues to be part of GN'R, by virtue of Guns' history and his involvement in Chinese Democracy.
Now, one step closer to the abyss, Ashba joins a band who's all time roster is nearly as long as it's founder Axl

I swear to fucking god Red, if this is fake I will knock you out
But if it is real, I am very excited, and very fucking angry all at the same time
Asbha is cool though, could have gotten a way worse choice than that

[bushkarocks!]

hope he is a good replacement
don't know much of his work but he seems a good guitarist

[DrRedFox]

This is real everyone. I put the link to the thread on mygnr.

[Bigphil1]

Oh my god, I'm actually going to miss a former GN'R member. I like Ashba though, he's cool.
This was posted by Admins at MyGnr, safe to say it's true.

[ShePoutsHerBest]

Yeah you are right, If Jarmo has it up it's true
But you can understand why I doubted you
I am listening to Sixx AM record right now, I am pretty fucking excited
DJ is a real good replacement, I am very happy but there is a flip side
We have OFFICIALLY lost Robin, and even though I saw it coming, and was pretty positive for a long time he was gone, I wouldn't losses hope
He was a a huge part of the band and his loss hurts the band in many ways, creatively, performance wise, and mostly by making this feel less and less like an actual band

[Bumbles N Roses]

Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  DJ is better than Robin.  I hope this does not indicate the end of Sixx AM.  Though it does explain their absence from the new Crue Fest.

[White-Rider]

good luck to you GNR. that went really fast. ÄHLOLWHOTT?!!

[ShePoutsHerBest]

[Bigphil1]

I chose the right day to change my avatar. Will be changing yet again to something less stupid soon.

I knew this from GnRdaily.com. However I thank you DrRed for the news.




I know about this guy's work. and he has the basic potentials and requirements for being a Guns N' Roses lead guitar player.

but Also he's not one of those musicians to stay in the band for a long time if any further Album release delays or tour delays happen. I hope his presence help Guns N' Roses to move faster on the future projects.

Hope to see an official announcement from GNR.com soon.


Bye Robin
