Axl Rose and DJ Ashba go a long way with their collaboration during Ashba’s GnR time.
In a new interview with Anne Erickson of Audio Ink Radio, DJ Ashba was asked what his favorite memory is from his time with GUNS N’ ROSES.
Ashba said:
“There are so many memories from that six, seven years. I think the biggest memory when I think back on those days, it’s just how probably misunderstood Axl is. He’s just — to me; I can’t speak for other people — but he’s just one of the f*cking coolest guys to hang out with. When he’s your friend — he has a very tight circle, but when you kind of gain his trust and are in that circle — you couldn’t find a better f*cking dude. He’s just a cool f*cking dude. And we had a ton of fun — on stage and even more fun off stage.”
He further explained whether he is still in touch with Axl or not, saying:
“Not too much, but the minute we see each other, I’m sure there’s gonna be big hugs thrown. We have so much respect for each other, I believe. I miss him. I miss him to death as my buddy. But they’ve been on tour. They’ve been nonstop busy, and I’ve been slammed busy, and that’s kind of how this industry is. Your paths will cross one day, and it’s just how it is. It’s like a traveling circus. [Laughs]”
