...now he wants to go out and play CD tour forever - and play 50% the album live and not rotating songs while not being able to sing some (if not most) of them.

Any chance that you're related to "insides", as you seem to continue his "rantings"?  :puke:

I really hope Axl was being nice to him and won't actually work on those songs

I won't judge any of those songs before I actually heard them.

No, give the guy a little more credit  ;).

I agree with Soulmonster. This is no longer an album tour. Playing Chinese Democracy, Shackler's Revenge, Street of Dreams, Better, Sorry, This I Love & Madagascar is sufficient. They played the other songs - Riad in 2009 and early 2010, when it was really the album tour.

I didn't think that they had played riad since the early 2000's maybe 2002.

I meant 'minus' Riad. They played that one last in 2002 indeed.

If Axl's going to record Ashba songs and totally ignore Ron's and Fortus' ideas (Aka the awesome jams they've been playing lately) I'm done with Guns. Ron even mentioned that he thought "Simple Days" would fit Axl's voice but he recorded the song himself. If he did that because Axl refused to sing on it he's a really pathetic guy nowadays. Axl stated that guitarists that push themselves are the ones that he likes but what's DJ pushing? He's pushing his ass into Axl's dick, that is. He never does something unique or inventive, he's always playing those pathetic pick tapping licks into nearly every Guns song and putting his hands behind his ears, smoking all the time, posing with his ugly and emo guitars and missing countless notes because he can't play for shit. At the worst scenario I hope Ron saves Ashba's songs with awesome riffing and solos.

I know I haven't heard his songs, but judging by everything he's written I'm sure it can't all of sudden be something original and interesting. I know that Axl and Ron could save his songs, but the structure and the main riffing will certainly be something uninteresting - with Bucket we had Shackler's, with Robin we had Better and with Ashba we'll have... Mi amor and Ballad of Suicide... are you fkn kidding me? :tear:

He seems to be an easy going and nice guy, but he reinvented the concept of cheesy to me. I thought it was something that Motley and Poison had going in the 80's but Ashba made it live in our hearts once again. Thank you for that DJ™ Swag™ Slashba™ :'(
Excellent rant - I enjoyed the read. Totally agree with your reference to Fortus/Thal jams. I hope something is afoot there.

My 2 cents...Ashba is the best thing to happen / GNR since they came back to life (01)!
Axl with Ashba at his side has been more active with constant touring/twitter/live streams/new website/photos with fans/Club gigs/Interviews
All these things were far and away between 01-06...

The fact Ashba is a producer and songwriter and obviously keen to have contributed to a GNR record (he is the only one up there that hasn't) is great...Hopefully it drives W.A.R forward in the next couple of years!

Thank you, I love those Fortus/Thal jams. I'm pretty confident that those are instrumentals they wrote for the band - why else would they play it at every show if they were just improvised jams? I mean...

To me, that sounds like they are doing a kinda improvised Madagascar.  They do it just before Madagascar each time, they do one that sounds like this i love before this i love and one that sounds like paradise city before paradise city.  They are the same key and chord progressions as the song that follows the jam.  I think they do it just to let Axl prepare for the song and all the otehrs prepare too.  It gives Pitman time to program the samples, polish his triangle and brush his tambourine with a feather duster etc etc

Yes, agreed. They are improvisations on the main structure of the song they are about to play. Like extended intros that allow the band to rally around. Not new songs. Unfortunately.

Thats a great performance...

Anyway, I really don't mind ashba. I think his playing is a little lacking but not as bad as people make him out to seem. To the "Average" GNR fan he is very liked, because he looks the part, he brings back the dynamic that axl and slash had on stage. After both the concerts I went to, I heard everyone around me talking about him. He is very entertaining live and I think he truly appreciates his role in GNR, plus Axl really seems to like him. I will say I hate his whole "Ashba Swag" thing, but overall I can't say I dislike him.
