Photo

I think we need a new photo. One without showing a fan bigger than the actual object. I'd even prefer no photo over this.--Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord² 03:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The one at the moment is clearly an attempt by the mongoloid fan to boast to the world that he met Ashba. You can't even see his face for his hair. Delete that junk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.140.114 (talk) 17:03, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discography

Does anyone actually agree with Motley Crue's SOLA being on DJ's discopgraphy? I know he co wrote some of the songs but, he wasnt the main contributor or an actual recording artist on the album so i feel that it should be removed from there. DrMotley (talk) 16:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nikki Sixx released the album Heroin Diaries Soundtrack, not DJ Ashba, it's the otherway around. It was Nikki's project in which he collaborated with DJ Ahba and James Michael. This should be corrected in the article. Sixx:AM is Nikki's side project, as well Heroin Diaries is an autobiography penned by Nikki Sixx. Moreover, the album was released under Nikki's record label. Therefore, Nikki should be the one to be credited for releasing the album, not DJ. Ashba.

"Ashba released the critically acclaimed album The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack after collaborating with Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx and producer James Michael under the name Sixx:A.M. in August, 2007" <--- this should be amended to reflect that Heroin Diaries was Nikki Sixx's album and he was the one releasing it.

Well, seeing as how it is included in the section Production, songwriting and guest credits, there is no reason to remove Saints of Los Angeles as he co-wrote all but one song. As for The Heroin Diaries, the book is by Nikki Sixx, the album (as well as the second) is by Sixx:A.M. (taken the name and intials of Sixx, Ashba and Michael) which began as a collaboration between the trio before becoming a band. Ashba is a member of the band, co-wrote, produced and played various instruments on those albums, so there is no reason for it not to be there. If it was Nikki Sixx's album, he would have released it under his own name. HrZ (talk) 12:54, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because the topic has been discussed in significant depth in many reliable sources including Blabbermouth, Loudwire, TMZ, Schecter Guitars, Harman, Udiscovermusic, NME and even Monster Energy. There's a lot of material to satisfy WP:GNG. --Binksternet (talk) 01:40, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not very encyclopedic

This entire article needs to be rewritten in a more encyclopedic style. It currently reads like it belongs in a bad fanzine and name drops everyone who came within 5 miles of him at some point. 65.99.105.254 (talk) 22:04, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

agreed, rewritten. Downzyisaliar (talk) 19:22, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

since "FlightTime" wants a talk discussion about the infobox

i added some stuff to fill it out after rewriting a large portion of the article to be more encyclopedic than fanzineish (fantastic description from the above user btw) Downzyisaliar (talk) 20:57, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The current infobox image is mush better than the one changed to, I say leave it as is. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:01, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

i think you're wrong. the discord agrees with me. looks like we have consensus. changing it back. Downzyisaliar (talk) 21:03, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

also, not only are you changing the image back, but you're removing actual biographical information from the infobox that is extremely common in most. it's literally a minor edit, i would advise you get off your high horse and don't falsely accuse me of an edit war when it's in fact you that wants to edit war bruh. Downzyisaliar (talk) 21:09, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Downzyisaliar: What? consensus? not here it's not. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:16, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
