Having spent the past seven years in hiding,
now Guns N' Roses are making new headlines weekly. The latest news to come
out of the GNR camp came from their manager Doug Goldstein.
Goldstein reported on Los Angeles's FM
alt-rock radio station KROQ monday that the long awaited new album from
the band should be in stores in June. This will be just in time for a supporting
tour. As we reporting yesterday, there are unconfirmed rumblings that GNR
is talking with Ozzfest organizers about possibly being part of Ozzfest
2001.
Guns N' Roses has two shows lined up at
the moment. They will be playing a concert in the early morning hours of
Jan 1, 2001 at the Las Vegas House of Blues. Tickets for that show went
on sale last week. Then in January, GNR will play at the Rock in Rio festival
in January.
The British answer to Rolling Stone, New
Music Express (nme.com) spoke with former GNR axeman Slash about Rock in
Rio and a possible reunion with Axl. While Slash said that Snake
Pit will be in town for the Rock in Rio festival they have no plans to
perform.
What about Slash returning to GNR? Here
is part of what Slash told New Music Express in their exclusive interview:
"One of the reasons I left was because it wasn't the same band as I got
into. I might get a sort of twinge of passion if the band was playing something
I used to love to play, that's human. But the whole essence of what Guns
is about and the whole reason for getting on-stage together - the camaraderie,
that gang like mentality that makes a band is so gone that I don't see
myself going 'Wow - I miss this'. There's not one other fucker in the band
I even know." The full interview is available at NME.com
We'll keep you posted on developments!
