Guns N’ Roses recently announced their first 2019 tour date at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky, and Slash has now confirmed to 88.9FM’s Jorge Lagas that GNR will tour in October.
“After South America [with Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators], we’ll go straight to Europe and do the festivals over there. And after Europe, we’ll go back to the States and Canada to do our first Canadian tour plus some U.S. dates; and that goes until August. Then, after that, I’m gonna hook up with Guns N’ Roses. Guns N’ Roses has a small tour in October.
And then, you know, there’s been so much talk about the Guns N’ Roses record, which we haven’t actually done anything with (laughs); so we’re gonna sort of focus on that. And the Conspirators will [have] some time coming up, depending on what Guns N’ Roses is doing, but I’ve already started putting together material for the new Conspirators record.”
He also discussed working with his Conspirators bandmates on Living the Dream, “Well, I mean, I was looking forward to going back in the studio at some point with Myles, and Todd, Frank, and Brent. I was just looking for a window to do it. So, when Guns N’ Roses had a sizeable break – I guess it was around December of 2017, or January of 2018. So we had a break, and I got the guys together, and we had some material that was partially written. And then I wrote some new stuff around Christmas, and we just went in the studio and started jamming it out. It was a lot of fun, it was very spontaneous, and we did it in my own little tiny studio in L.A, and we had a good time.”
