Guns N’ Roses have announced that they are working on the follow-up album for Chinese Democracy, an album that took 15 years to complete.
Since the completion of their tour commitments at the end of 2011, guitarist DJ Ashba and lead singer Axl Rose have kept busy penning away new tracks for the album.
DJ Ashba told Mamasfallenangels.com, “I can say making a new album absolutely is our main priority. And I cannot wait to get working on it. Axl has tonnes and tonnes of stuff recorded as it is. I mean, he sits there in his hotel room and he’ll play me hours of stuff. And I’ve written over ten songs, I think 12 songs now, for him that he really likes.”
Although 12 songs have been written for the new album, there is no date on when the band will return to the studio to record the tracks.
“I can’t give anybody a definite date, because I’m not going to give anybody false hope. But it’s absolutely everybody’s goal to get out an album within a reasonable amount of time.”
There is speculation that the original line-up of Guns N’ Roses will reunite for their induction into the Rock And Rock Hall Of Fame on April 4th.
The Guns N’ Roses will be inducted in a ceremony alongside the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faces/Small Faces and the Beastie Boys.
