Re: DJ Ashba Slashes His Way Into Guns N' Roses Guitarist Spot
I got a phone call saying, "We've been looking for a guitarist for about a year and a half and we're trying to find the right guy. Would you be interested?
DJ was announced in March, 2009.
Pretty much suggests Robin was out for good in late 2007.

i'd be wary of reading too much into that quote, but it is possible.
maybe MSL can divulge the date of Robins resignation letter/email?
as for the "main focus" bit.. mad thing to say.
Re: DJ Ashba Slashes His Way Into Guns N' Roses Guitarist Spot
True, and this is slightly OT, but I find the actual timing of Robin's resignation relevant based on the fact that he was accused of jumping ship to NIN again. Had he left months before the NIN thing actually happened, one'd think it carried less weight in his decision.
Re: DJ Ashba Slashes His Way Into Guns N' Roses Guitarist Spot
I'm no way trying to replace anybody. I'm just trying to do the gig justice. I have tons of respect for Slash's guitar playing and what he's done, so I just wanted to stay as true to his vision as I possibly could. As a fan, if I were to go see Guns play live, I would want to hear the songs I grew up on. You want to hear them sound as close to that as possible, so that's kind of how I present myself. I want to stay as true to that as I possibly can.
And this sums up why I like DJ. If nothing else, he gets this part of it, which is way more important than people give it credit for.
