After having not released a new album since Chinese Democracy in 2008, Slash confirmed that Guns N’ Roses are planning to start recording new material.
Suggesting there’s “a lot of writing going on.” the legendary lead guitarist hopes the band will be able to get back into the studio to record some new tracks.
Born Saul Hudson, the rocker addressed his future plans once the Guns N’ Roses tour concludes later this year. Finishing up work on a new record with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, he’s planning to schedule a tour with his collaborators as well as some of his own international dates focused around his 2024 blues album Orgy of the Damned.
In an interview with Rolling Stone Australia, the 61-year old said:
“We just finished the new record that’s coming out after this Guns [Guns N’ Roses] tour, and then we’re gonna go on the road.” “[The album with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators] comes out in February [2027]. So right after this [Guns N’ Roses] tour’s over, that one [ with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators] starts up … We have about a year to do it – a little less than a year to do the whole planet.” “So there you go.”
About his future with Guns N’ Roses, Slash stated:
“There’s a lot of writing going on with Guns [Guns N’ Roses], so after I get back from that, we’ll see if we can start putting some stuff together and getting in the studio.” “I also have that blues thing which I need to do an international tour for. I only did a U.S. tour on that. So I’ll put another record together with those guys and put it out and figure out some window that I can go do an international run with that.” “When I got back together with Guns, I had no inclination of breaking that up. And I do it because I love to do it … I just love jamming with those guys, and we get together and we just play. It’s also very simple.”
