Passion for Ashba fashion
Do you have that passion for fashion? Do you wish you could look as cool as legendary Guns N’ Roses guitarist DJ Ashba? Well good news, because now you can.
DJ Ashba (who is actually a guitarist, not a DJ. Yup, more confusing than my sexuality.) has teamed up with “clothing guru” Cody Varona, CEO of Forgotten Saints (yeah, me neither), to “bring you one-of-a-kind custom-made clothing inspired by Ashba.”
So if you want to look like the deformed offspring of Pete Burns if he were to impregnate one of the Orcs from Lord of the Rings, then I guess today is your lucky day.
Adler lost his Appetite
Poor Steven Adler, he just can’t get a break. Not only are Axl and the remaining (former) Guns N’ Roses members not returning his phone calls, now the singer and guitarist for Adler’s Appetite have quit the band. And the worst of all, the 80s called and said they want their hair back.
Actually, this last one might be a good thing.
Weak Recap: We’re better than you
Fact 1: We love interviews.
Fact 2: Our opinion is great.
Fact 3: Lame week recaps are lame
Taking that into consideration, we realized we do want to make a week recap at the end of each week, but not just a lame list of all our articles or something. So we decided to go narcissistic and just interview each other about the previous week’s most important headlines. Since this week recap is weak, we’re calling it a Weak Recap. Clever, right? Blow me.
So this weekend I’m interviewing Guido. We’ll take turns interviewing each other because let’s face it, we rule. So make the jump to see what he has to say about what went on in the last 7 days.
It was all Axl’s fault!
Slash just revealed something in an interview that would have blown your mind… If this was 1995. Unfortunately it’s 2011 so it’s all a big yawn fest.
“No one in the original Guns N’ Roses ever said, ‘Let’s try to put the band back together.’ Also, it’s all about Axl. The reason that everybody left was because in the back of his mind I think that’s the way he wanted it. So the reason why there’s no Guns N’ Roses was because of him. I’ve got nothing to do with it. I quit for the same reason that everybody did. So it’s really his problem.“

Wow! So it’s all Axl‘s fault? No… I don’t believe it! Can’t be!
Jesus, when will this shit gonna end? It seems like every other week there’s an interview with a former GNR member about this. Granted, it’s also the reporter’s fault but come on…
I like GNR. I’m not a fan, but their classic songs are great. I didn’t want to see them live last year, simply because they weren’t GNR, more like “Axl & Friends” — But should they reunite with Slash and the old crew, I’d die to see them live.
Mark my words for I am a metal prophet… They will reunite. Maybe not next year or in the next couple of years, but at one point the demand will be too big for them to say no to big paychecks. Besides, Slash seems to be willing to do it. All his interviews on the matter basically say “Axl, if you’re game, I’m game” so it’s all a matter of time.
So fear not. In the end, money always wins. It’s what made all these comebacks and reunions possible. God bless them.
