It would be cool as fuck for VR to show up with a new singer, and see Dizzy back there playing keys.

I'd probably laugh so hard, i'd stroke out and die.

Would be funny.  The Dizzy would probly be a cancer as well.  Surprised Axl still talks to Baz.

He's being sarcastic. Honest to God, I bet you right now there are people out there that believe DJ is the secret weapon.

The man is not even in Guns N' Roses, and if he was, it was for like 2 weeks. If what JIP said was true, even Ron referred to DJ in the 'past tense'.

I'm one of those 'secret weapon' guys! I think a tour with Bumble+DJ together could win over a lot of people alienated by the way the guitar parts have been handled in the modern era.

I saw the cruefest 08 video and I'm fucking sold on his talents now.  From what i've seen he seems to have the pefect blend to play in both Slash's and Robin's styles in a way that's going to be exciting and respectful to the source material. Like he's blues rock, but also a bit out there, he just seems like the kind of guy that's going to be able to bridge that gap between AFD and CD to me.

My opinion is that he IS in GNR. That they rehearsed a tour and then for whatever reason the plans for a tour have gone into delay/slowmo like so many things in GNR land before them. But I'd bet the slowmo isn't connected to him, that he is still in the band. And I'm pretty damn excited to see the results oneday...:beer:

Bloody Hell that DJ chat is diabolical.  Someone on mygnr posted some of the transcript.  It's exactly as we predicated full of dickheads and childish questions.  NOTHING of substance!  I don't even know why he bothered to do it in this type of format it was always going to go badly.

Jeez, I have a headache from trying to read that.  It seemed less like a dj ashba chat and more like a chat between insane gnr fans.  In true Nu Gnr fashion he avoided the few questions that had substance to them.

I would have preferred the usual "no comment" than the garbage spewed during this "chat".

Can this even be classified as a chat? I think a new word needs to be invented for what I just read.

What a sad state of affairs. I seriously think this "band" just reached its lowest point ever this evening with this "chat", and that is really saying something considering the highs and lows we have been through.


Now you know why he is not featured on the Evo banner, and wont be until he appears on some GNR album credits.

Eddie knows his shit, and Eddie is an expert on the situation with Guns N' Roses, as much as anyone in his line of work can be.

Actually, Eddie has admitted before that he thought AFD was decent, didn't care for UYI, and isn't a huge fan. He might know a bit, but knowing and caring are way different. I wouldn't call him an expert on something he cares very little about.

Eddie could've talked about alot of things, including CD's trx, what was Ron's favorite, what he wanted to perform live, talked about the 2006 visit from Axl and Ron was a secret then, and what he thought about that, what he thought about old Guns, was there any favorite tracks he had from the old band, what is it like being in a band like Guns N' Roses...

Actually, I think most, if not all of those questions were asked, and not only was there no substance given in Ron's answers, he forgot to bring his new CD he was there to promote.

Mix that with old GN'R cuts, and maybe some Ron solo during the to and from breaks on his show, and you've pretty much got an interview, minus any phone calls. If all else fails, he can bullshit about Ron's current favorite music in his MP3 player and what he thinks of Buckethead, the person who's shoes he's filling.

I thought the chatroom session afterwards was way funnier, with assholes pestering him about Dizzy Reed playing Pokemon and if Axl listened to Disney music as an influence.

Now you know why he is not featured on the Evo banner, and wont be until he appears on some GNR album credits.

In DJ's defense, this wasn't billed as a chat for GNR fans to discuss GNR's past, present, and future.  We all knew what we were gonna get out of this, which isn't much.  We found out he's STILL in the band, whatever that may mean to you since he still hasn't appeared with the band anywhere.  But he's still excited about being in GNR and working with Axl.  This I Love is his favorite song on Chinese Democracy.

Like it or not, he has a built in fanbase (made up of mostly girls).  They like the guy for his work in SixxAM, and I'm guessing his boyish good looks, and that's mostly who was involved in the chat.  I'd say the ratio was 80% DJ fans (most of which didn't seem to like GNR), and 20% GNR fans, so again it wasn't strictly a GNR chat.  Apparently he just likes to hang out (relatively speaking) and chat with some of HIS fans.  There's nothing wrong with that.

All in all, I'd agree that it was a waste of time to an extent from a GNR sense.  But to call it the lowpoint in the bands history is a HUGE stretch, as it wasn't meant to be about GNR.
