Reports of Guns N Roses possibly releasing a new album together with a tour next year are growing rampant.
And while the original band members have yet to confirm the news, Consequence Of Sound reported that Australian promoter James Young teased the return of the American hard rock band just in time for the Soundwave Music Festival next year.
"I heard the most amazing rumor this week, from a very well-informed heavy hitter in the Australian music industry," Young teased. "So what mega band could it be? I heard on Wednesday night that it would be Steven Adler, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, Slash and Axl Rose - the reformation of the original 1987 Appetite For Destruction Guns N' Roses!"
With Axl Rose and Slash finally reconciling, hopes of the band releasing a new album was further fueled.
"It was probably way overdue, you know," Slash said regarding things being clear between him and Rose in another Consequence Of Sound report. "But it's.... you know, it's very cool at this point. You know, let some of that, sort of, negative... dispel some of that negative stuff that was going on for so long."
However, Slash remains tightlipped about the possibility of the said new album and tour.
"Oh, I couldn't answer that one, though...," he added.
And while the 50-year-old musician is also busy with his solo career, Blabbermouth noted that in addition to the possibility of performing to the Soundwave Festival in Australia next year, Guns N Roses is also invited by the Portugese Music Magazine Blitz for a reunion performance.
However, promoter AJ Maddah kind of dismissed the idea of the new album and tour for Guns N Roses, saying that it seems impossible for that to happen.
"It's been nice for me personally to share this fantasy for a few days along with the fans, but it is not happening," he said. "If a reunion does happen, it is going to take longer than six months for the band to be ready to tour. I think it'll take a hundred lawyers six months just to get the five of them into a rehearsal room together."
