DJ Ashba Says He Has Written 12 Songs For Next Guns N' Roses Album

Mama's Fallen Angels recently conducted an interview with Guns N' Roses/Sixx: A.M. guitarist DJ Ashba.

When asked how soon fans can expect to hear a new Guns N' Roses album, Ashba replied, "I can't give anybody a definite date, because I'm not gonna give anybody false hope. But what I can say is [making a new album] absolutely is our main priority. And I cannot wait to get [working on it]. I mean, Axl [Rose, GN'R lead singer] has tons and tons of stuff recorded as it is. I mean, he sits there in his hotel room and he'll play me hours of stuff. And I've written over ten songs — I think 12 songs now — for him that he really likes. And I think now that we're off tour, we're gonna kind of start talking about, 'Hey, let's start piecing together what we feel would be the next best Guns N' Roses record.' It's absolutely everybody's goal to get out an album within a reasonable amount of time. That is everybody's focus."

Axl Rose Talks Playing the Forum, Hall of Fame gig and Reunion

Early Saturday morning in Seattle, Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose sat down for a long, freewheeling interview after his band's three-hour concert Friday night at Key Arena. You can read a story about the exchange here, but left on the cutting-room floor was an hour-and-a-half of fascinating conversation in which a sharp, well-spoken Rose tackled many topics that fans have been discussing for years.
 
Over the course of the interview, which took place from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. in his dimly lit dressing room, Rose talked about the past, present, and future without pulling any punches. (So much so that we edited out some of the more potentially libelous business-industry accusations Rose leveled.)

"...Because, really, you can get guys from the "Illusion" thing, but the only thing that would make it would be Duff and Slash, really. It’s nothing against Izzy and it’s nothing against Steven, or anything like that. Steven may want it, but these guys I’m working with right now, they work really hard and it’s hard work. I’ve toured with the other guys and I’ve also seen what they’ve done since, and I just know the difficulties.

I don’t have an excitement to work with people that joined in the "Illusion" time. There’s behind the scenes that was really, really difficult there with different ones. So it’s not really even a full reunion..."

Tommy Stinson: "There's talk of doing some recording in 2012"

Guns N' Roses has been nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year, and we'll know any day now if the band made the cut. In the meantime, singer Axl Rose (the only holdover from the group's hard-rocking heyday) and friends are in the midst of their first North American tour in five years. Bass player Tommy Stinson, 45, gave us a call recently before a gig in East Rutherford, N.J.

How goes it on tour?

I got no complaints, man. We're on the East Coast now. We started in the secondary markets. It's kind of ramping up, now that we're getting close to the big cities.

Is your new guitarist, DJ Ashba, working out?

He's a good fit. Seems to be a good-natured kid. He doesn't take it too seriously.

On the old stuff, he's playing the parts that are there pretty much. Everyone is, you know.

It must be a relief not to have to answer the dreaded "When is 'Chinese Democracy' coming out?" question anymore.

Yeah! It came out [in 2008]. And it [expletive] got thrown against the wall like an old plate of spaghetti. [laughs]

Now everyone is probably asking when the next album is coming out.

Everyone is asking me that question. I don't know. There's talk of doing some recording in the new year, getting some songs together. But that's just talk. Let's get through the tour and see where things end up.

Guns N' Roses Nominated for Tour Of The Year

The first annual Ultimate Classic Rock Awards are here, and they are your chance to vote for the best rock music of 2011. Over the next week, we will be announcing nominees for the year’s best classic rock albums, songs, tours, artists and more — 10 categories in all — and allowing our readers to pick the winners in each.

We’ll begin with the Tour of the Year category: After all, if there’s one place classic rockers undeniably dominate the music landscape, it is in the live performance setting. This year featured two big summer tour team-ups: Journey, Foreigner and Night Ranger combined to bring fans a hit-packed evening, and Motley Crue brought Poison and the New York Dolls along for their typically extravagant trek.

Of course, some bands decided to go it alone, too. Rush continued their ‘Time Machine’ tour, which featured the band playing their 1981 ‘Moving Pictures’ album in its entirety. Kiss proved the worth of their music by scaling down their stage show to play long-awaited concerts in smaller cities for much of the summer, and even as we speak, Guns N’ Roses are making an emphatic case for the power of their new lineup and the ‘Chinese Democracy’ album with 3-hour marathon shows all across the land.

Let’s not forget Alice Cooper, who dazzled audiences around the world with a career-spanning show of surprising ferocity prior to the release of his ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare’ album. That album, by the way, has already earned the No. 1 spot on our list of the Top 10 Albums of 2011, in addition to spawning what we’ve labeled the year’s best new song, ‘I’ll Bite Your Face Off.’

Slash #65 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists

He may have spent much of his Guns n' Roses prime shirtless, drunk and surrounded by snakes, but Slash brought good taste and restraint back to hard-rock guitar. "It was a stripped-down rock & roll sound compared to what everybody else was doing," says Slash. He could riff like Joe Perry, and intertwine, Stonesstyle, with Izzy Stradlin. And lyrical solos like the from-the-mountaintop grandeur of "November Rain" were permanently laced into the songs' fabric. "It's hard to play those solos any other way," says Slash. "It will sound wrong."
