GUNS N’ ROSES‘ next studio album will be its first since 2008’s “Chinese Democracy” and the first to feature Slash, McKagan and singer Axl Rose since 1993.

Slash has shared a new update on the album.

In a new interview with Cleveland.com, Slash talked about SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS album as well.

He said:

“We did a week of initial pre-production, and there’s 20 songs and we’re gonna start back up next year. I spent a lot of time writing and demoing that stuff. And prior to that, Duff [McKagan] and I did some jamming and we also worked on the GUNS [N’ ROSES] record, and I’ve had a couple of ancillary recordings and jams on top of that, so there’s been a lot of stuff going on. I’m really not good at slowing down and just sitting around.”

Asked when he thinks we’ll hear some of this music, Slash said:

“I would like to think that we’d have some new stuff out next year — from both camps, I guess. It’s hard to say, but I would like to think we’ll have stuff out next year, yeah.”
