DJ Ashba Says He Has “No Intention Of Doing Anything Further With” Sixx:A.M.

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a recent interview with Antihero Magazine, DJ Ashba was asked about the possibility of new music or live shows from Sixx:A.M. The guitarist responded by saying “never say never,” but also added that he currently has “no intention of doing anything further with” the band

Ashba said the following:

“Sixx:A.M. has always been a labor of love. It’s weird with Sixx:A.M., we all three are currently still full-blown members and we are very proud of everything we’ve created. James has mentioned recently that he’s kind of retiring, kind of stepping away from music, which is sad to hear, but the guy has done so many great, great things in his career and the songs he has been a part of. He has a lot to be proud of.

Now, that being said, the three of us at any given time could call each other and go, hey, let’s do one more tour. Let’s write a new song. That’s just how we are. We don’t ever plan anything. So, I would say, never say never, but I have no intention of doing anything further with it. I think we’ve put a nice bookend to Sixx:A.M. with the greatest hits and if something else were to happen so be it, but I think we’re all pretty satisfied with what we’ve done with that.”

DJ Ashba (Sixx:A.M., ex-Guns N’ Roses) has premiered a new video for his cover of the Italian folk song “Bella Ciao.” He said the following about that:

“After becoming completely obsessed with ‘Money Heist’, I became so inspired by ‘Bella Ciao’ and the history of the song. I couldn’t wait to get into the studio and make my own GDM version. I wanted it to be epic and dramatic, with big bass, bone-crushing guitar, and an infectious beat that I know the fans will go crazy for. After it was complete, I was telling my friend, famous Disney artist Craig Fraser, about my new version of this classic song, and him being a fan of the show as well, got inspired, and created me this one-of-a-kind painting of the iconic mask from ‘Money Heist’. I was so blown away; I thought it would make the perfect cover for this single.”
