Finck is now officially out as a full time member (taken from the offical GnR site)

Guns N' Roses is proud to announce that guitarist n' songwriter Dj Ashba has joined the band. Ashba, who officially replaces current NIN guitarist Robin Finck, is best known as co-founder of hard rock bands Sixx AM and Beautiful Creatures.

"Dj's a gifted, energetic guitarist that Guns N' Roses is proud to have on board!!" exclaims Axl Rose. "We're very excited to have the opportunity to work together. Guns' radar has silently been aware of Dj's presence for quite some time. He brings a fresh approach to our particular brand of mayhem expanding the tapestry of Guns N' Roses live. Once Dj's name was in the hat, the hat disappeared!!"

"It's an honor to have the opportunity to be a part of a band that I have always loved and respected," said Dj Ashba. "I'm looking forward to working with Axl, who is not only one of the few great front men of our generation, but a true artist."

Dj Ashba co-wrote and co-produced Motley Crue's latest album Saints of Los Angeles, which garnered a 2008 GRAMMY nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance, as well as co-wrote and co-produced the Sixx AM album Heroin Diaries.

Robin continues to be part of GN'R, by virtue of Guns' history and his involvement in Chinese Democracy.

Now, one step closer to the abyss, Ashba joins a band who's all time roster is nearly as long as it's founder Axl Rose's rap sheet!

is robin finck back in NIN? i thought i read something about that and if so i remember when trent replaced him a few years back he said Aaron North (the new guitarist) was highly superior to finck, so why is he back?

I'm pretty shocked actually, considering NIN is supposed to be done after this tour.

He's been back since last summer IIRC. Just started touring with them then and also worked on Ghosts and The Slip.

Figured i'd bump this since it is an unofficial GnR thread. They just completed four shows in Asia an are going to Canada next. Current band has DJ Ashba replacing Robin Finck. Frank Ferrer is playing drums, not Brain.

Some of the setlists are great, with the Tokyo show being a highlight (and their longest show ever). Axl sounds great as does the band as a whole. Here is a setlist comparison:

sorry to bump an old thread, but it appears as tho were will be some new GNR leaks coming out soon. One of the guys "MSL" who got his internet fame in the GNR circles for leaking chinese democracy tracks has apparently come across a bunch of internal documents and unreleased songs:

So it's far from a bomb for Geffen. For Best Buy, might be another story.
