What the fuck??

WHAT IS DJ ASHBA DOING TO THAT POOR CAT?

 Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 at 10:00am by

Ladies and gentlemen, Dj (not DJ) Ashba got paid more money to play this solo in front of thousands of screaming fans than you or I will ever make in our entire lives:

Someone please cut off his fingers so he never does that again. Please.

    wtf is wrong w/ that guy! I wonder how the hell he did the solos for Paradise City or Welcome to the Jungle.. shit if he fuckin’ butchered this one..

  • http://www.fuckoffmyself.blogspot.com Jedsan

    Fail

  • Zoker

    Every single fucking bend is out of tune…

  • Mike

    As much as I liked The Heroin Diaries, he never really did anything of note (no pun intended) on guitar.

    • stu1

      I think HD is pretty cheesy, but I agree with the rest. I don’t get the stroking people do of this guy. He’s never done anything remotely “good.”

  • Facebook User

    oh sweet christ….

  • permafrost

    That is just awful.

    the last part reminded me of this kid I played guitar with in jazz band back in high school…our director gave him a spot to improvise a solo (guy played pretty much nothing but zeppelin) and the look of horror on her face at what came out was priceless. she literally went up to him after rehearsal with a piece of paper and was like “okay, so these are scales…” hahahaha

      your story managed to out-lame Ashba

      • large jockstrap

        hahaha

        snap

  • Benito

    you’d think he’d figure out how to stay in the same key by now.

    At once the best and worst thing I’ve ever heard :)

    How the fuck do you become the new lead -fucking- guitarist of a band as famous as Guns ‘n’ fucking Roses if you can’t even fucking play the fucking song fucking right?!

  • DruM

    Don’t wanna burst anyone’s bubble, but I’m pretty sure the solos shittiness was intended.

  • jason

    Scabs & Roses

  • Terje

    DJ Ashba fucked this up so badly… I have been crying myself to sleep every day since this. Everything else he does perfect :(

    This is what he usually does in every song:

    You may have little faith in your earning potential, but I’m pretty sure that being a salaried musician for the Axl Rose Band doesn’t pay anywhere near what I’ll earn in my lifetime.

    • stu1

      He’s obviously exaggerating, but I know those dudes were making EXCELLENT money.

    • SSSSSSSSSSSSS

      KEWL

  • Sammy

    I try not to criticize guitar players because my own playing is forever stuck at semi-okay, but holy shit I could play that drunk on Ambien. And while the hell is that solo so damn long for what he’s playing?!

  • Bob

    Can someone explain to me how you get a gig like that when you clearly are an amateur?
    Obviously the guy must have some skills but yet his solo sounds like an 11 yr old (with Down’s Syndrome) who is deaf in one ear and can’t hear out of the other.
    seriously, theories?

  • George

    The rest of the show he played great though. Guns n Roses is MUCH better with this line-up. Dj played Sweet Child o Mine better than Slash did in the last decade.

    • stu1

      This dude doesn’t even TOUCH Robin on guitar.

  • carmen

    hahah cut you … your penis !!!!

    leave DJ with Axl!!! they are amazing together

  • Soontohavesyphilis

    Snakes and Barrels?

  • chaca

    Come on people!!!

    Dj is awesome!!! This was his first show, listen to the House Of blues Show in 2001, Robin Finck fucked up 5 or more solos and in 2007 he did an excelent job in all of ‘em!!

    They played this song again today in Osaka, and for what i’ve heard, it was awesome(this same solo), so stop fucking with Dj ’cause he will kick your ass in the rest of this tour!

  • Alex_P

    I think Axl’s singing is worse, actually. This, kids, is why you shouldn’t pay 200$ to see a band past their prime.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jason-John-Crispen/100000169530540 Jason John Crispen

    one of the few times that i can honestly say i could have done a better job myself.

  • Alkahest

    I expected worse.

  • wikked1

    Wow, that was brutal. It was also the first time they ever played that song. Maybe he grabbed the wrong guitar (anyone remember Robin Crosby’s awful solo?).

    Show his other solos of the night. They were spot on. Of course leave it to the media scumbags to ignore the multiple positives, and focus on 1 small negative. Losers.

  • akeldama

    This pissed me off more than anything thats been on this site.

  • Jizzmaster3000

    Is he killing that guitar daddy?

  • Benjamin

    Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

  • CJLsky

    Dj’a old band Beautiful Creatures had a few ok songs on their first album…this is awful, though.

    • CJLsky

      Dj’S, that is…this is what you get for typing a reply just after waking up.

  • cesar_gun

    DJ Ashba is amaizing!

    He blew up this solo… yes, but his performance was amaizing on the rest of the concert!

    Listen to Sweet Child O’ Mine or whatever song you like…

    I repeat, DJ it’s a great guitarrist!

    Look at this solo too:

  • trg

    Dj and GNR done a gr8 performance <3 GNR, if u dont like dont watch it!!! if u want slash watch velvet revolver not GNR, leave GNR to their fans and yes they do have many!!!

  • Poopscoop

    That was absolutely horrendous!! I would be so embarrassed to be on stage with that kid.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Pepe-Lastarria/560147426 Pepe Lastarria

    I though axl was going to fired him on stage…

    is this shit happening on every gnr live performance?

  • man

    obiusli this men never learn how improvisate for music is horribl, the other song sound perfect beacuse he learn them, but slash improvisate the 80% of his solos in concert, but this men sux..

  • LG

    I saw these guys a week ago and Dj did an amazing job. If anything was lacking in the show it was Axl.

  • Bill

    Sounds like his guitar is out of tune and he’s trying to compensate for it. So possibly not a reflection on his guitar playing.
