Slash has spoken once again about the highly anticipated new Guns N’ Roses studio album.
The guitarist confirmed in May last year that new material was in the works, with his bandmember Richard Fortus checking in earlier this month to say he hoped new music from the band would emerge this year.
And in a new interview with Guitar where he was asked if he’d be willing to share any new information about the record, Slash replied: “There’s been no definitive answer on anything and I’ll just keep keep to that.
“Stuff is happening, but there are no specifics. More than anything, it’s because of the nature of the industry right now.
“It’s just like, how do you want to do this? I mean there’s material and there’s recording and there’s shit going on, but we’re not really sure what we’re doing with it right now.”
When it was pointed out that the music industry has changed a lot since the last time Guns N’ Roses released an album, Slash responded: “Yeah! And there’s a handful people who said, ’Make a record and go old school.’ And there’s a handful of people that are like, ’We don’t even know what buying a record is any more!’”
Guns N’ Roses will hit the road on the next leg of their Not In This Lifetime tour from January 31 when they play at Miami’s American Airlines Arena. They’ll then return to the UK and Europe later in the year for further dates.
