I think most of you guys are a little harsh on DJ.
I'm sure a few of us play guitar as a hobby....
ever had the chance to play in a covers band, and then to start your own band?
Given he submitted a ton of Riffs to GNR that went into limbo, that's what DJ was facing, basically he played covers for 8 years or whatever it was and then wanted to go back to making his own music....can't blame him...especially given that his own band is Sixx:Am which has a reasonable amount of traction compared to some of the other guys solo careers.
Oh for sure I am harsh on him.
I think he is the worst thing to happen to Guns N' Roses.
Robin has NIN whenever that starts.
Buckethead has a great following.
Tommy had the Replacements.
I'd say Robin and Tommy are on good terms. Who knows about Buckethead.
The rest yeah...
I just honestly hate DJ. So I get what you're saying 100%.

DCK wrote:DJ is right and he should be in Sixx:Am and not GNR. However, he kept more in tune playing these tunes than Slash does these days. Tophat boy better be upping his game.
DJ played nearly nothing but Slash's songs and consciously worked for years to mimic slash's stage moves, appearance, charisma and guitar solos and musical style.....so yeah I don't think Slash has to worry about improvising too much lol
As for DJ - he figured out he was never going to be able to do his own music in a GNR context and would only ever be covering Slash and bailed. Can't blame him for that - he wasn't the first and even now he may not be the last.....
Unless you're Buckethead or Robin Finck or Slash, you ain't going to ever create material in the band as lead guitar.
Ron & DJ were just touring musicians, nothing more or less.
Love your post.

He's not burning any bridges like some may have. He maybe figures he's reserved a justified spot in the gnr legacy - he has, just not the one he thinks.. Maybe he'll be good for a guest spot or a support slot this summer..
Why the fuck would they let him guest? He has contributed nothing to the band.
Honestly, DJ needs to shut the fuck up already. News flash no one fucking cares bro.
Get back to hot topic.

I put my vote for: Alice In Chains.
#265 Re: Guns N' Roses » ROGER DALTREY On AXL ROSE Singing For AC/DC: 'Give Me A Break' » 512 weeks ago
I find the 
bashing by Daltrey to be trolling / laughable.
Like honestly, why shit on a guy who clearly likes your music (even though you wrote jack shit Daltrey)?
Like I've said before it is pretty easy to bash Axl and I am not a fan of it.
I mean honestly, when has Mr. Rose really bashed anyone post 1993? [Excluding former members of GN'R] hardly.
I've never heard him say oh yeah Mick Jagger what a tosser. He can't sing anymore.
Hell he wore a Nirvana shirt and that band had a brief feud with Guns.
Axl bashing just gets sad sometimes.
Roger Daltrey is just sad. I'm glad my former Journalist teacher stole his train as a kid in England ha.
#266 Re: Guns N' Roses » GILBY On GUNS N' ROSES Reunion: 'I'm Happy That The Guys Are Back" » 512 weeks ago
I don't get all the hate for Gilby and Matt. It's like we're actively looking for someone to hate now that Slash and Axl are friendly again. I guess we just need something to bitch about.
I choose the people bitching about things that don't matter.
I am done with my Matt hate.
Gilby hate is for his low blow.
And the fact he was just a tour guy in Guns, nothing more nothing less.
If he wants to make a slight dig at this lineup I'll defend it.
Obviously, it ain't an issue for Slash and Duff or they would have backed out.
Glad to see you back posting more. I remember the days when it would be buzzsaw this and buzzsaw that.
Was it you who had the feud with Bono?
Is he going to comeback finally and stop with the MYGNR shit.
#267 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose joins AC/DC » 512 weeks ago
Hahaha splendid indeed! I'd give you a shit ton of karma if I could.
Lindsey Buckingham though, man I surprised that cat when I asked him about Dennis. Such a highlight of a 1st meet. Plus I got Rumors (is it American or British spelling? The album uses) and his solo record Seeds We Sow signed.
For TSD (tho any excuse really):

I have hearing loss AND tinnitus. You do NOT "forget about it after a week". It is ALWAYS there. Do you know when you forget about it? When you're sleeping. The nanosecond you wake up, it reminds you of its existence.
He can spin it til the cows come home and minimize it all he wants but Angus made the right decision. If it wasn't a problem, nobody in AC/DC would have even known about it. You cant fake having good hearing unless you can read lips and I doubt lip reading would have helped on a tour.
Brian Wilson is an example of someone that is an exception to the rule.
But, I agree with your post.
Stupidity on Brian's part, nice guy, but come on mate. Protect the money maker.
Someone wrote on here about AC / DC being better than Guns, I think Brett was their name.
Sorry bro, I like AC / DC casually. But, AC / DC can't hold a candle to Guns. The general public and even people with heads not in their asses know that all AC / DC songs sound alike. Just say different words: TNT, Thunder et cetera.
Not trying to take a piss on AC / DC but, you can't say in musical sense or creativity that it beats Guns N' Roses. It just doesn't.
Again, I like AC / DC. Think Axl is great in it. I liked them when they blew the Rolling Stones out of the water and did a great one for my city of Toronto. But, they aren't in the same league as Guns.
Brian's situation is unfortunate.

Oh Gilby.
Please just shut the fuck up.
I mean even my nemesis Matt Sorum knows how to shut up. He did more for Guns than you could possibly do.
Gilby Clarke is nothing to Guns N' Roses. He is a pure and simple tour replacement.
He never wrote anything with the band of any value.
In fact, Axl replaced him with a guy who could write shit that didn't gel with Slash.
Gilby Clarke also has really no music of value in the broad sense.
No one is ever like "Hey, Radio guy put some Gilby Clarke on man."
To sum up Gilby, he's a guy who is mainly a bar / pub player that got a lucky break with Guns N' Roses and whored it out for all its worth.
Post Slash: Buckethead, Robin Finck, Tommy Stinson have never whored out the Guns N' Roses name to gain them a wider following. AND THOSE GUYS WROTE SHIT IN THE BAND unlike Gilby "I have shitty facial hair" Clarke.
To conclude, eat a dick Gilby.
#269 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose joins AC/DC » 513 weeks ago
Let's relax people...
Yes Axl is in AC/DC right now, on a permanent basis? Who knows. They take forever to release albums.
What I do know is he is digging rehearsals. He can sing the fuck out of those songs, and he generally appears really happy.
So this works to Guns N' Roses advantage.
I had a laugh and a aw shucks with Axl's small little oi at 7 seconds in this video [url][embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=difwoEkp3Do[/url][/embed]
Let's just sit back and enjoy the show.
I don't think he would reunite with Slash and Duff if the ship was just going to sink and they were going to put their guns to rest.
Guns gives Axl: weird, alternative queen-esque, grunge, industrial, ballad, punk, hard style rock. So many options and styles to utilize.
AC/DC if he joins just gives Axl dick rock. Meaning there really isn't much to maneuver. It will be hard rocking rock. Nothing more or less. Not that anything is wrong with that (just don't ask my girlfriend she hates AC/DC).
The only thing I want to know is if Axl digs my boy Dennis Wilson or Lindsey Buckingham or the Beach Boys (Brian Wilson not the post 1983 shit with Kokomo).
I hear a lot of crying from AC / DC fans. But, you know Bon Scott died and people never said well Brian Johnson's AC / DC ain't real man. That hasn't been an issue. The fact is Brian Johnson's hearing = fucked. Yes the way Angus handled it could have been better. But, it is his band. Since Malcolm's health went to the shit zoo.
To conclude, let's just enjoy the show. And hopefully we get new Guns music. I think we will. No way this is going to be mucked up.
P.S. I can't get my link to work here ugh, tried editing multiple times. If any mods want to show me the way I'd love you long time.
#270 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose joins AC/DC » 513 weeks ago
Wow indeed my board mates. Wow!
I saw AC / DC up here in Toronto at SARS Stock where they stole the fucking show from the Stones who were terrible.
With that said, I am so impressed with the service that Mister Axl Rose has done. I truly hope he gets the gig if he wants it and AC / DC are willing to give it to him full time.
He definitely has made done his Scottish roots proud. Honouring the band (who mainly are Scottish) and is incredibly on Bon Scott's songs.
Truly, awesome.
I thinks if AC / DC replace Johnson on a full time basis (including studio) the only answer is Axl Rose. No one else can compete with him. Also, he gives you a helluva good songwriting ability. Taking nothing away from Johnson.
I'll be going to the Buffalo, show if they have one and tickets. I think they have one.
