A new Guns N’ Roses album has been rumoured to be in the works for quite some time now, but Slash has assured fans it is coming “pretty soon.”
Appearing on the latest episode of Rolling Stone Uncut in an Australian podcast exclusive, the iconic rocker said the band has been writing a bunch of new songs, which include last year’s releases of “Nothin’” and “Atlas.”
“I feel like the town crier. It’s gonna happen… it’s getting closer and closer,” he said.
“We were in the studio recently… there’s so much cool shit that we’ve been doing. It’s just a matter of when it happens.
“It was like that with [1991 and 1992 albums] Use Your Illusions. Nothing was going on until, all of a sudden, we just locked in and did it, and then everything moves really quickly.
“That time is coming with Guns pretty soon, so it will happen, but I just couldn’t tell you exactly when.”
On the episode, Slash also discussed about the band’s current world tour, 10 years since the reunion began, and reconnecting with Axl Rose after their bitter falling out.

“The actual issues between Axl and I weren’t insurmountable,” he said.
“It really had to do with other people that had gotten involved and exacerbated the issues that we had. Without them around, it was really easy for me and Axl to get past it — we haven’t had one fucking fight the whole 10 years we’ve been together this time around.”
