We reported yesterday about a rumored reunion between former Guns N Roses Members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum (see story below). antiMUSIC has learned from a source close to the musicians involved in this project that �it is a done deal.� However, our source, another well known musician who said he would rather remain anonymous, stipulated that he was told this by one of the above mentioned members a couple of days before this new group, code named Buck N� Roses, decided not to proceed with Buckcherry vocalist Joshua Todd. So there goes the clever name. 

The new group is said to be actively seeking a lead vocalist. It appears one of the top contenders is Shooter Jennings (son of country legend Waylon Jennings and frontman to L.A. Hard Rock outfit Stargunn). Shooter recently jammed with Slash and a few other musicians in a Los Angeles area club and was said to have �nailed Axl�s vocals� on the Guns N� Roses songs the jam group performed with him. 

Whether this project will last is another topic entirely since so many �supergroups� are born and then fade away before any material can be recorded or many concerts can be performed. But if this group does last, it promises to be an exciting development for Guns N� Roses fans that may just give Axl Rose a run for his money if the elusive new Guns N� Roses album �Chinese Democracy� ever sees the light of day.
