Guns N' Roses has some new music that is reportedly in the process of being finished. According to band members, the material Axl Rose has brewing sounds pretty killer too. Guitarist Richard Fortus is the latest rocker to talk about the tunes publicly, saying that some of the stuff dates back to the Slash era. Yes, that's correct — some of the new Guns N' Roses songs will technically be a collaboration between two people who continually say they will never work together again.
Here's what Fortus offered last month at a workshop, via Ultimate Classic Rock:
There's so much stuff that's recorded. There's three albums worth of material, easy. Axl is very secretive — he doesn't want stuff getting out. He wants to create stuff then release it when it's ready. He's also a bit of a perfectionist, as you can imagine.
Some of the stuff comes from nothing and some of the stuff were ideas that were already there. Some of the stuff Slash did — it was the beginning of the seed of a song that's been around for a while.
Okay, so a seed could mean a number of things, especially with Rose at the helm. But it's still a nice thought that there's some hope for the iconic duo who once ruled the charts with "Welcome to the Jungle" and "You Could Be Mine." Don't stop believ — wrong band.
Rose first revealed that the band has two albums worth of music back in June. Guitarist DJ Ashba followed that up by saying that lack of material is not a problem. Keyboardist Dizzy Reed confirmed last month that the material was in the process of being finished.
The following years could be big for Guns N' Roses fans with new music on the way and a biopic reportedly in the works.
