Rockeyez.com's Brian Rademacher has issued an interview with SIXX: A.M. guitarist DJ Ashba (BEAUTIFUL CREATURES). The following is an excerpt:
Q: When you first met Nikki Sixx what was your impression?
A: I actually met him at Randy Castillo’s (OZZY OSBOURNE drummer) funeral, so it was not the place to really talk about things. Then we kept running into each other. Once I left Beautiful Creatures, I got a call from Nikki and he asked me to join BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION but I was doing my own project ASHBA and even though I really wanted to join Brides I was dedicated to my own project. I have the most respect for Nikki but couldn’t do it and turned it down which he never let’s me forget about. We eventually started to hang out together, and he invited me up to his house and we wrote four songs that day, it just clicked. I was just about to sign a brand new deal with Atlantic Records; right before I signed the deal Nikki asked me to partner up and started Funny Farm Studios. We never thought about being a band we were only going to do some writing and producing at Funny Farm Studio and one day Nikki brought the diaries in and that’s how it all started."
