DJ Ashba Solo - The Ballad of Death - Adelaide 07/12/2010 - [HD]

[VerticalSh0ck]

1:45?! Why da fuck does he stop with the guitar but it continues to play?

[RumRunnner]

Great video! And the solo is just ... addicting to listen to. It's so full of emotion.

[CatalinWwww]

Slash is just a speed player, poor melodic style........Ashba dosent sings with too much speed , but he sings very melodic like neil zaza, Steve vai, Joe satriani...

[BenNaccio]

@CatalinWwww Slash is not much a speed player noob, learn to know what you say. They both are feel players

[MrPerezClaudia]

god he is so hot

[niptodstan]

What a poor player. He's all pose and no substance.

[johnjnukemsheridan]

I personally think he's the better guitarist. Most people in this world are (sadly) lacking a good musical ear...how else do you explain "pop music" :P

[pinkandroses]

eargasm 

[johnjnukemsheridan]

@pinkandroses agreed :)

[ZakRoXxoR]

[zazeico65]

Dj ashba es muy bueno pero su cara nomás lo que es horrendo

[GreekLover1996A]

Ashaba is a 0 compared to slash.!!!

he just copies his style!... LAME!

[Xirukah]

I don't like any new project of the old members of GNR. And i don't like also this new Covers band called Guns N roses. But this song. Holy Shit!!! Really good!!

[ChocolateTeaPot100]

wearing your own bands shirt at your show is just stuck up...

[theace1835]

MORITE ASHBA NO SOS NADIE!

[KristopherUmusic]

It's sad that the new guitarists solo is better than the bands last 20 years of music.

[StephenBrownGuitar]

Cool tune.

[pavlemaggot]

but no wan i better then buckethead

[JIRIC8581]

ehh i didnt like it but thats my opinion slash rules though

[ralferlyn21]

he's got that fucking rock star swagg!

[menamosa1]

fucking ashba, he's remind me the love of the guitar

[cataf977]

Like his style :D great

[dannyfrounz14]

angus young, satriani, slash, ashba and marty schwartz(teaches how to play guitar here on youtube) they are great guitar players n what do they have in common? they use a goddamn hat!!!! i have to get one of those!!!!

[bestslash]

thumbs up if you see the smile face in his guitar

[therocker914]

love the way he stores his gwai

[mcatalin171]

ok this solo is AWESOME but U cannot compare this with SLASH!! u see how ASHba cover NOVEMBER RAIN is like shit !! And Ashba try to copy SLASH

[mika922727]

ESSE GUITAR E LINDO.......... GOSTOSO

[DevilGunner90]

toda la gente que anda diciendo que dj es mejor que slash o que slash es mejor que dj terminen esa pelea nadie dijo q uno era mejor que el otro, personalmente me parece mejor Dj Ashba pero esa es una opinion personal y no es para que la gente se pelee, ambos son guitarristas muy buenos, Dj Asba y Slash son guitarristas si comparacion,asi que terminen esta pelea estupida de una ves!

[liltiff14hendrixplz]

QUIT FUCKING COMPARING DJ TO SLASH! HE IS HIS OWN DAMN PERSON! AND SO IS SLASH! HE SAID IT HIMSELF LIVE ON CHAT HIM A SLASH HAVE NOTHING AGAINST EACH OTHER SO ALL OF YOU HATES NEED TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, STFU AND SUCK DJS DICK LIKE HE SAID! DAMN! ;)

[samanthamulder]

bloody awesome video man!thanx!

[gnrsamboy]

why do people think dj ashba isnt a try hard slash? if he wasnt he wouldnt have the fucking job. he does a good job of it and thats about that. stop trying to tell yourselves hes not. just looking for something else to argue over on youtube

[JakeTragedy]

First off, he's not copying anyone. He got that hat back when he was in the Beautiful Creatures. Second of all, so fucking what, he smokes and plays a les Paul. Mick mars from motley crue used to do that, and he's got a top hat too. Motley crue was before guns. So fuck off and grow up. This guy is doing great things, and knows his shit. People are idiots I swear.

[marleroses]

Lmfao megarock I agree

[MegaRocker247]

o and sunbrst gibson lol. you gay.

[MegaRocker247]

dj slashba . dude take the top hat off.you look like a cock. dont tryto be like slash.and wtf is up with the cigaret u stack in 80s.you fn suck.

[renanmenezes93]

@MegaRocker247 LOL So, a wild hater appears!

[AngelKabane]

Slash rip off??? maybe; but the i gotta admit the dude is dam good anyways ..i actually enjoyed this video.

[rename32]

@MalsRename Good i Like it..

Gun N Roses My Life...

[heatofthemoment123]

and the one in the back seems to be trying to copy jimmy page :P

[borosshots]

Fucking Love this Solo!!!

[fer3945]

where was that?

[MrKrelano]

hes playing guitar smoking like slash....hes playing a guitar like slash had...hes playing with a "Hat" like slash....well if trying to fill the hole in GnR lolz..hes a duch

[IDEADGENERATIONI]

@MrKrelano He smokes, so do millions of other people. Les Pauls are the greatest sounding guitars out there, so many people play them, not just slash. And he wore that hat before he was in GnR. So you're a "duch". Whatever that means.

[wipers86]

@IDEADGENERATIONI there not the best sounding guitars out there it depends what type of music you play I have a Les Paul and my fender is much better, better woods etc Les Paul's are to heavy and most of them don't have very good resonance and there a rip off I've had a few Les Paul's over the years the Chambered models are the best my fender mustang sounds better than my Les Paul, witch I'll be selling one day ))

[IDEADGENERATIONI]

@wipers86 Yeah its a matter of opinion I guess, but I was just trying to make a point to that guy that not only Slash plays a Les Paul. But yeah I have a fender strat and it sounds really good, i just dont play it much cuz when i use the whammy bar it takes it out of tune really bad. So I just play the Les Paul more

[wipers86]

@IDEADGENERATIONI well you don't need to use the tremolo buying another spring for it should sort that problem out, if it has 3 springs then that's what it is missing a 4th spring I've just heard this on you tube people saying buying another spring fixes the problem, I said I have a fender Strat I do have one but I meant I have a fender mustang with changing the pickups of course it sounds good but I meant unplugged sounds better than my Les Paul

[BranGNR]

nose puede aser tanto el slash ese forro!

[plateg9]

C'mon guys ? How can you even think about comparing Godfather Theme and Ballad of Death ? I mean Slash isn't a God ,but God can't play godfather theme Iii|; p Dj Ashba's just another crappy lead guitarist of present Guns n' Shit with Axl Dumbass in the front . Slash is a guitar master and this shitty solo song just shows the difference between their styles of playing the guitar and their skills . Surely Slash skills are much better than Ashba's Iii|; p

[vaichild]

i think ashba wouldnt get so much crap if the band wasnt called guns and roses. same with chinese democracy.

[stvspriggs]

I was lucky enough to be a rebellious teen when guns from the past was on top of the world. After 17 years I am just as lucky. you rock DJ

[McBlobby3]

this is a pretty good example of a shit guitarist

[IDEADGENERATIONI]

@McBlobby3 hahahaha you're a funny guy

[4umckr]

This guy is the man I met tn

[AbbygaelNicoleee33]

ashba has always worn a top hat...even in the ealry 90s when he put out his solo guitar album......people always copare him wantin to copy slash but the truth ashbas ten times better than slash........

[purblueple]

oh yeah! He was playin his ass off. Great video! I could watch this over and over all day. <3<3<3

[rafazu41]

The solo is good but come on what a poser....

[towcar68]

kinda (not sure the word) dumb? that he wears a top hat which is a signature trait of slash? Or did he wear it before too? seems like he's trying to fill a role. Though still he is a sick guitarist.

[MOU5IE]

I Love Dj Ashba & Axl Rose

[6SCRUFFY2007]

Ashba, Slash, WHO CARES! They both kickass!

[bassclefchef]

this guy is a carbon copy of Slash. it is actually funny. hat, cigarette and les paul. pretty pathetic. that tapping thing at 3:00 is pretty lame. the guy may be talented - but he's no slash

[TheOM3G4]

@bassclefchef "Carbon copy"? Him and Slash play completely differently. And he wears a hat? So you're saying any guitarists that wears a hat is copying Slash? Oh he has a les paul, i'm sure there's about 50 guitarists that play with les pauls.

[bassclefchef]

@TheOM3G4 to each their own man. the cigarette was the kicker for me. if you dig GNR and him, by all means enjoy dude

[PaUuZzA]

As you said, Fuckin' pretty damn good!! \m/

[TheMaxwellcool]

Ashba is a god, Slash is his father

[TheGerakas]

In my opinion Slash was more down on earth....

[georgejordison1]

personally i believe that slash is better!!!but i must say that this solo of Ashba is awesome!!!!

[cmpunkfanaias]

@georgejordison1 I agree with u man ....i believe thatSlash better but we've got to admit that this solo is kicking asses

[CitiesBeneathIan]

Am I the only one to say I like Slash and DJ Ashba both? Both of them are great guitar players!!!

[MrUsper]

@CitiesBeneathIan i like them both two

[dazzaken]

@CitiesBeneathIan yeah, both fuckin great....it's just a shame that Axl makes him use a Gibson just like Slash and that hat (yes very cool, don't get me wrong) is also a trade mark of Slash. I do however lean towards DJ....rock on

[MrBluntsworth420]

Oh yes and Axl makes Ashba smoke that cigarette too... -_-

[IDEADGENERATIONI]

@dazzaken He uses a Gibson in Sixx AM too, and when he played the National Anthem in KC so Axl doesnt make him use it. When I saw them live he used several, most of which didnt look like Slash's. And he wore the hat before he was in GnR so he's not ripping off Slash.

[Mars251297]

@CitiesBeneathIan Both of them are such inspirations to me :)

[CitiesBeneathIan]

@Mars251297 Same here. lol

[Mars251297]

@CitiesBeneathIan Awesome :)

[Urbano1980]

Tem vascaino trouxa dizendo que o DJ Ashba também torce pro Vasco só por causa da cruz de malta que ele cultua. Vejam no Wikipédia: "A cruz de Malta ou cruz de São João é identificada como o símbolo do guerreiro cristão. É uma cruz com oito pontas e tem a forma de quatro braços em V que se juntam em suas bases..." Nas caravelas não só do grande navegador português Vasco da Gama, todas as velas tinham a cruz de malta. O Vasco time, assim como o Ashba é só mais um que a adotou.

[TheDark205]

DJ ASHBA YOU ARE A GHOST!!! FANTASMA DE M****!!!!

[xler1000]

fuck dj ashba slash is better

[JoeYampolsky]

Young Slash with a creepy hat=)

[andeegreen]

Just spent the day indoors learning this! Feels good to play!

[livesimpledreambig]

1:52-1:59 WOAH hey man i was just looking for Cheech man!

[mastrilho]

Dj AshaSlash jajajajaja

[BlackRose31197]

@mastrilho you mean Dj Slashba

[a7xaddicted1]

he is incredibly good and talented but god, he's fucking ripping off slash you got to admit it

[Axel23699]

jajajajajajajajajaja

[lucas2k101]

Agora só falta dizer que é uma versão de godfather essa ai.

[yurizagonelpereira]

@lucas2k101 quem dizer merece bala

[kakarotitopunk]

Slash style hat cigar gibson leather pants

[NepaliDynamite]

@kakarotitopunk No,Its his own style. He is better then slash

[Jacko02mj]

@NepaliDynamite no, they both play with passion, but i think slash is better...and Ashba wears hat as Slash used to and smokes while playing...like Slash does.

[kakarotitopunk]

Slash style

[maxheberth]

Muito massa !!! o legal é que a guitarra dele fuma tbm! KKKKK

[baltapaulaxl]

DJ plays sooo Good!!!!

Stop talkin' about slash!!

slash won't come back to GNR

if you don't like the new GNR guys

just don't listen them

[107miguelo]

Excelente guitarrista, espero q este ennproximo album de GN R!!!

[wenner35]

slahs ganha mole

[biasebastiana]

he´s hooot

[xDxDPaulo30xDxD]

Ashba = Criss Angel = Synyster Gates

[myladyani1]

donde estas SLASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!?­?!!

[mocas1234]

congrats, very well filmed indeed :) and the video itself is awesome!

[Schulting]

everytime, SLash Ashba ..wine wine wine cry cry...OMG....why do people have to cry about Slash when they see Ashba on the screen.

And then they start to say that Ashba sux, wich is not true, cause he is even more technical then Slash....but they are both great, its all about wich sound you like more then the others !

[PenelopeCake1]

@Schulting wine is lovely, but maybe you meant 'whine' ;)

[Schulting]

maybe I did, ;) ...think you get the picture :)

[SubiWay]

SLASH é o cara disso ninguém dúvida, mas o GN'R não era feito só de Slash! Vamos dar espaço a outros músicos que tem muito a oferecer assim como o Ashba.. Comparações da cartola e do cigarro são absolutamente idiotisse assim como comparar Lady Gaga com Christina Aguilera, meu tem espaço pra todo mundo aqui, quem nao curte o ASHBA não assista! E o Cris Angel é um ridiculo, tanto que não assisto nada dele, essa é minha opinião, quer privacidade? Tranque-se no banheiro! ASHBA LOVE U ♥

[GCMALIVE]

Que bien, pero que bien filmado, asi da gusto verlo, porque hay cada mamarracho.

[marciagothicgirl]

DJ ASHBA, I LOVE YOU!!!

[BALDETOP]

LOVE YOUUUU!!!!!!

[san7laspastillas]

se la tira de slash el perro ese

[Ylviste]

This guy can play guitar, but God damn he looks so utterly generic it hurts. And his playing is utterly generic as well, even though he is technically decent.

[Ylviste]

This guy can play guitar, but God damn he looks so utterly generic it hurts.

[SuperLeo217]

bass player sucks ... ashba is a copy cat !!! and gnr was dead as soon as slash left !!!

[mhollod]

@SuperLeo217 That bass player happens to be one of the original Replacement and very popular and talented. C'mon dude...I get that your upset that their are new band members...but I think it's time to move on. It's been over 15 years!

[RaxlMelrose]

SLASHBA

[Sil3ntDz]

Dj Ashba = Slash wannabe ? Seriously why the fuck is he copying his style like that ? come on that sucks !

[23taip]

DJ ASBA IS CRISS ANGEL ?

[144church]

@23taip I was about to say that!I didn't know the MindFreak played for GnR!

[JulietaBSB]

DIOOOOOOOOOOOS ES EL MEJOR!!!

[elrusoification]

slash is missing...and unfortunately there it comes, a plagio of him....

[Traviesa4993]

para mi Ashba no tiene nada q envidiarle a Slash..... es buenisimo, hasta axl dijo estar contento d tener a Ashba con ellos........... ARRIBA DJ ASHBA (aparte d talentoso guapisimo aunq les duela)

[shortyxd17]

Slash wanna be ...

[pscora91]

Slash sentimos sua falta, esse cara nao devia ta ai

[nanael2195]

cppy of slash

[TheLeadguitarboy]

[MFPMF15]

9 PEOPLE LISTEN TO CRAP MUSIC

[MFPMF15]

ASHBA JUST ROCKS

[carsonC1000]

[harleymomma74]

[Betogunner22]

@XiArieliX Here in Brazil is easy to find.At least I have the same as this one.

[harleymomma74]

@XiArieliX got it at hot topic or something like that a couple years ago

[xx55AC55xx]

[maxhormonefan13]

I HATE YOU



[xx55AC55xx]

@maxhormonefan13 oh XD

[luis4097]

o axl devia fazer uma letra encima desse solo

[hisamaranta]

Ashba = Ashba. Compaing him to Criss Angel is an insult to his skills and appearance

[Riffmeister12]

that les paul looks so sad yet so happy to be played by such an emotional guitarist :) still not the same without slash but hes got guts to take over where slash left off!

[mrfersho94]

is better slash!! dj ashba sucks!

[crisjony96]

6 dislikes. Nice try Slash!

[punchyourheadrocks]

DJ ASHBA IS GOD!!!!!!!!

[stiffmeisterful1]

is there a studio version of this?

[JMFullProductions]

Only the best guitarists use the Gibson Les Paul!!

Slash was the best guitarist in his time in Gun N' Roses but.......................

DJ Ashba with his youth and his breakthrough came as high as Slash.

[BlackRose31197]

@JMFullProductions kirk hammet uses les paul in some songs too

[2011musicplayer]

Great now he has slash style les paul slash shoes whats next long hair

[germainkan]

fucking awesome!!

[qXxXslashXxXp]

SLASH IS BETTER THAN YOU FUCKIN ASSBHA  YOU GO TO THE FUCKIN HELL SLASH IS THE KING OF GUNS N ROSES YOU RE A SHIT

[themitsos77]

i always liked ashba more than slash. but everyone has his personaly opinion and i respect that.

[MilesGos]

@themitsos77 I agree! Dj ASHBA seems more open to his fans. I mean, I fucking talked to HIM and he said my name on a live chat on his site the other damn day. I think he's a great member for GN'R, and will push Axl in a good way :) Plus, he posts funny shit on his Facebook page often :P

[azuboy98]

i like how he always do the undertaker rise movement.

[Tuscopa]

That is one beautifull fucked up Les Paul... 8-(

[Fmancillaz]

ashba = slash + criss angel

[chemaiden2204]

0:26 dickinson cover hahaha

[geodati]

@pruijssen actually ashba sucks he has not different style he is trying to play like slash, he is not real guitarist we just can say that he is playing a guitar

[Jfimiggy]

I'm suprised axl didn't jump on you and attack you xD

[Chakiifullar]

Godfather theme is better to me but Ashba is awesome guitarist!!!!!!

ASHBA N' SLASH are the best!

[tthhiiaaggoo1000]

O Dj Ashba Imitou a o estilo de se vestir do synister gates e o estilo de tocar do Slash , O Dj Ashba pode tocar beem mais não passa de uma farça !

[TheFranSema]

SLASH CAN YOU TEACH HE PLEASE?

[DEANthePYTHON]

i love the fact that he's wearing a hot topic brand guns shirt

[ivanljubicicac123]

anyone noticed guy at 1:55 ??? lol

[Shado564]

anyone noticed his guitar's screwed up?

[metallicCenturion]

who else saw that ashba's guitar's trussrod cover is inverted? O.o

[metallicCenturion]

He is a good guitarist, but what i hate fom him is that he acts like a douche when he interacts with the public.... it just freaks me out...

[giulianostroe1]

I like Ashba, hes got style... but he shud make his own tunes rather than let Axel make him look like a tool, obviously Axel is trying to over shadow Slash, playing with the Les Paul tells it all... but honestly no matter wat Axel does he can never replace the Real Guns n Roses

p.s Slash is still better hehe

however Rock On Ashba!

[sam8404]

@giulianostroe1 You mean Axl?

[giulianostroe1]

@sam8404 no i mean Bill Bailey

[Conte666able]

slash and ashba? please...dont mix shit and chocolate :)
