Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash talked about his relationship with Axl Rose, saying that “outside influence” played an important role in all the bad blood between the two of them back in the ’90s.

Slash reached the topic when asked by Classic Rock Magazinewhether GN’R will release new music, saying (via Alternative Nation):
“Well, we’ll see what happens. I mean, I have no prospects. Now that we’ve actually mended fences and gotten back together and done this, we’re going to keep it together.
“Because all the bullshit we’d had that sort of caused all of the shit back in the ’90s, there was a lot of outside influence on that. So now that that’s sort of eliminated, we’re just left to our own devices. We get along fucking great.
“So I think we’re going to go well on into the future. I mean, Axl’s got a ton of shit that he recorded already, so we’re going to get in there and just start getting into that thing, and then if we do a record and then do a tour, I could see that cycle going on endlessly.”
During the rest of the conversation, Slash was asked about the “rumor” that Chris Cornell was going to be the singer of Velvet Revolver. He replied:

“I didn’t know if that was ever a reality. I didn’t even know that was a rumor. I did work with Chris on the solo record, but I never had any prospects of doing a band with him.”
