Guns N’ Roses are playing a prominent gig at this year’s Rock in Rio festival in Brazil on October 2, but does this booking mean new songs are on the way?
According to Guns N’ Roses and Sixx:A.M. guitarist DJ Ashba, it’s on their minds.
“Axl has so many songs up his sleeve from the Chinese Democracy era,” said the 38-year-old, in an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock. “He has three albums of really amazing stuff. He’s played me quite a bit of it. It’s really good.”
Ashba went on to tell the site he’s been “demoing tons of stuff” in his studio and that the plan is to get together with the guys, go over the material and “put together what he [Axl] feels would be the next best thing for Guns N’ Roses…”
While no GN’R touring is planned yet, Ashba is optimistic: “It’ll be a lot of fun.”
DJ Ashba, who also owns his own graphic design agency called Ashba Media, is beyond stoked about the new Sixx:A.M. record, which he recorded with Nikki Sixx and company.
“We really dumped our heart and souls into it, as we did the last time, but this one is real special to all of us,” he said. “We really tried to step it up in terms of the whole overall message, to make a solid record from beginning to end. I think we did that, and it’s nice to see people are enjoying it!”
