Why does Ashba?
« on: January 02, 2012, 04:32:18 PM »
Wear a hat similar to a top hat, and play a les paul with Guns N' Roses? If that was me I would feel obligated to change my appearance, seeing how it seems he wants to be Slash. I think he is an amazing guitar player but when I watch him on stage I find it kind of embarrassing..Does anyone see where I'm coming from?

Dj had the hat and same bunch of guitar's before he joined gnr, plenty of footage of him online before his guns days....yeah plenty dont want him in the band but from what i'v seen live dj fits in well..plenty of crowd interaction, understand what ya saying but cos he's not slash people may not take to him.....(maybe cos they are stuck in the past)

I think its kind of unfortunate! Ashba definately had the hat and guitars before he joined GN'R... but at the same time I totally understand you're point and see how it would appear silly to anyone who didn't know of Ashba before.

It is what it is I guess... I'm not gonna ask him to change if he doesn't want to! 
I'm definately a fan of the guy :)

Surely he has Les Pauls being that he's a rich musician and all. It's just that the majority of people didn't know who D.J was until he replaced Slash. I'm not trying to tell anyone how to dress, but it's just an opinion and every time I see him I just see a wannabe.

Haven't at least you people, the Guns fans, got it by now?  It doesn't matter if the guitar player wears a Bucket/A Phantom Of The Opera mask, Top Hat, half bald head or half top hat it's the diversity and creativity we are given by those people.
Ask yourself.

Slash played well, but Robin wrote Better.

BucketHead is original. And you can be creative and diverse without copying someone.

That is DJ's style.Les Paul's is propably the best guitar sound for Guns n the hat fits Ashba pretty damn well i think.Let it be...

This topic needs deleted!!!!!!!! One Dj is his own man and he fucking rocks, seriously grow up and stop comparing things that do not matter! He came into GNR as HIMSELF not trying to be anyone else... So to anyone who likes to think or say he is trying to be slash your a FUCKING MORON! I really do not care who I piss off with my reply on this!  :finger:

He certainly ain't Slash.  Problem is, whilst half the people here like that fact, the other half think it sucks.

I remember when I was talking to people after one of the shows a few people said they thought the 'fake Slash' was really good!

Their words!
