Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose Has New Album Recorded And Ready for Release

Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has apparently produced and recorded enough songs for three albums, according to his bandmate DJ Ashba.
Following on from their 2008 album Chinese Democracy, which cost a reported $13,000,000 to produce, the new look Guns N’ Roses now consists of singer Rose, guitaists Ashba, Ron Thal and Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, drummer Frank Ferrer and keyboarders Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman.
And it looks like Guns N’ Roses fans won’t have to wait as long as they did for Chinese Democracy for a new release, as it appears that there is a lot of new material awaiting publication.
Speaking to an Australian radio station, Ashba said “He (Rose) has a lot of great songs up his sleeve. He probably has three albums' worth of stuff recorded
“He just sits down at the piano and plays. I'm like, 'This is amazing. People have to hear this song.' And he's like, 'Ah, this is something I'm tinkering on.'
“He's just a genius when it comes down to music and I just cannot wait to sit down with an acoustic guitar and just write. He's just got this gift that's very, very rare."
The band’s last release Chinese Democracy received very mixed reviews, with loyal Rose fans disliking the album and less biased fans enjoying it - so it’ll be interesting to see how any new releases go down with fans. As with any release, there also could be a nice tour to follow. Keep updated for any release or tour information on Stereoboard.
