Guns N’ Roses, for Slash “no waste in the new album”
A few weeks ago, Guns N’ Roses released “Nothin” and “Atlas”, two new songs, which add to those of 2023 “The General” and “Perhaps”. For some time there has been talk of a new work by the band, but mainly referring to the material from “Chinese Demcracy”: “There is so much material that it is just a question of having the discipline to sit down and get to work”, they had declared. Now, however, Slash has explained that the group’s new work will contain only songs unreleased, no scraps In a new radio interview taken up by several American newspapers Slash explained that that era is over:
We took some material that Axl had, we all sat down together and listened to it. We chose the various songs we wanted to do, the ones Axl wanted to do, and we took out all the guitars and bass, and then redid them from scratch. It was fun. What we’re doing is we’re just re-recording those songs — a couple here, a couple there. These were the last two left to complete, and we actually didn’t even record them consecutively. ‘Nothin’ it was one, and ‘Atlas’ at another time, but they hadn’t come out yet. then there will no longer be any of those old songs to play again. But I think we’ll take all these songs and release them in one package.
And then the next record we make will be all new original material, and it will be a real album.
But for me it’s obvious: we need to make a record. You can release everything digitally, however you want, but there must be an album.
This is the full interview
A release date has not yet been announced either for the collection of singles or for the new album, which will in any case be recorded after the conclusion of the world tour 2026 of the band, also scheduled in North America next summer. At the end of November the band announced a world tour: a round of 31 dates that will include a European leg with concerts in Poland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France – but no Italy – before GNR returns to North America for a series of concerts in the United States and Canada – several appearances are within Festivals. The first date is scheduled for March 28, 2026 in Monterrey, Mexico, while the end of the tour is September 19, 2026 in Atlanta.
