DJ Ashba Hopes Steven Adler And Izzy Stradlin Will Be Part Of Guns N' Roses Reunion

Former Guns N' Roses and current Sixx: A.M. guitarist DJ Ashba says that he "loves" the fact that that a partial reunion of GN'R's classic lineup is finally coming together, but hopes that Steven Adler and Izzy Stradlin will also be involved in the band's return.

Ashba, who joined Guns N' Roses in March 2009 following the departure of Robin Finck and stayed in the band until last July, was asked during a question-and-answer session on Sixx: A.M.'s Facebook page how he feels about GNR's reunion and guitarist Slash. Ashba responded: "I love it for the fans. However, I hope they bring in Steven, Izzy and even Matt and Gilby!" He added: "I've always been a fan of Slash's playing; that was a big reason why I took the gig!"

Guns N' Roses has so far announced six headlining performances in April, including two in Las Vegas and two at California's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, with singer Axl Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan slated to perform together again for the first time in 22 years.

The rest of the band's lineup for the shows — and a potential tour later in the year — remains unclear, although keyboardist Dizzy Reed, guitarist Richard Fortus, keyboard player Chris Pitman and drummer Frank Ferrer are all believed to be involved.
