Guns N' Roses new album is reportedly well on its way and a possible release date announcement is also expected to happen anytime this year.
Reportedly, Axl Rose has more than enough songs prepared for the new record.
Band guitarist Richard Fortus previously told Loud Wire that the band's new album is inspired by their previous member Slash.
"A lot of the new stuff that we've been working on; some of the stuff come[s] from nothing and some of the stuff is stuff that we've been working on that were ideas that were already there," Fortus explained. "Some of the stuff Slash did - it was the beginning of the seed of the song that's been around for a while."
In addition, he teased that Guns N' Roses is taking the new album seriously as they plan to announce a release date soon.
"There's so much stuff that's recorded, there's so much stuff that was done," Fortus admitted. "I mean, there's three albums worth of material, easy ... Axl is very secretive. He doesn't want stuff getting out. He wants to create stuff and then release it when it's ready. He's also a bit of a perfectionist, as you can imagine."
DJ Ashba even admit that they wanted to treat fans with a tour in line with the release of their new album.
"We are planning on doing quite a bit of touring this coming year," Ashba teased during an interview late last year. "The focus is getting in a studio and putting together what we all feel is the best Guns N' Roses record. Lack of material is not an issue. We have tons of stuff."
