A picture of Slash and Axl Rose together in the studio has ignited hopes that Guns N’ Roses could be working on new material.
The photo was shared on social media by Urban Sound Studios in Oslo, Norway, where the band had appeared at the Tons of Rock festival.
And it appears guitarist Slash and vocalist Rose were listening to “new mixes” ahead of their headline slot on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury this weekend.
The picture is accompanied by the caption: “We got to hang out with these two rock legends in the studio today. Really cool guys! The band wanted a nice studio with a variety of speakers and headphones to listen to new mixes before they head for Glastonbury. It sounds awesome!”
Guns N’ Roses’ most recent album was 2008’s Chinese Democracy.
Fans may be wary of getting excited about the “new mixes.” That’s because in 2021 the band released “new” singles Absurd and Hard Skool, which both turned out to be reworkings of tracks from the Chinese Democracy era.
