SIXX:A.M. guitarist DJ Ashba says that he played all the rhythm guitar parts on MÖTLEY CRÜE’s “Saints Of Los Angeles” album.
Ashba is credited as a songwriter on all but two of the songs on “Saints Of Los Angeles” and recently spoke about his involvement with the record during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”.
When asked about the credited and uncredited session work he has done over the years, DJ responded “MÖTLEY,” referencing “Saints Of Los Angeles”, before adding, “I played all the rhythms on it. But Mick [Mars, MÖTLEY guitarist] was awesome. Mick was actually in the hospital at the time.”
MÖTLEY CRÜE’s “Saints Of Los Angeles” was loosely based on the band’s memoir “The Dirt”, which was published in 2001.
