Slash has said in several interviews recently that he hopes to record a new album with Guns N’ Roses, that he has guitar riff ideas, and that Axl Rose has a ton of songs. He also said there isn’t any deadline, and it’s something they’ll discuss after they finish upcoming tour dates.
Slash discussed his late friend Lemmy in a new Revolver interview, “Lemmy was such a fucking awesome individual. We were good friends since we met in 1987, which is when Guns first went to London. Motorhead was doing a record. We went down to meet them for the first time and we all hit it off. Lemmy and I kept in touch and became good friends over the years.
“He was such a great example of what rock and roll was all about,” Slash added. “You can put on all kinds of labels — heavy metal, hard rock, whatever — but he embodied the spirit of what rock and roll is. For years and years, I could be anywhere in the world and somehow Lemmy was there. The planet is a lesser place without him. I really miss him a lot.”
