Legendary Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash says the long-awaited next album by the band will be "all new original stuff."

In a recent interview with KOMP 92.3, Slash said, "I think in this instance it's what we're doing, because we only re-recorded those songs — like a couple of songs here, a couple of songs there."

He added, "These were the last two that are left to do, and we actually did them not even back to back. 'Nothin" was one, and 'Atlas' was at a different time, but they hadn't been released yet. So, we're releasing 'em now. And then there's really no more of that sort of old rehash stuff to release. But I think what we're gonna do, we're gonna take all those songs and put them on something and release that as a package. And then the next record that we're gonna do is gonna be all new original stuff, and that'll be an actual album."

"It's a really weird time for especially rock 'n' roll and how it works in this industry and how it works for fans," the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses told the Las Vegas radio station. "I think most diehard rock 'n' roll fans would like to get an album and they love vinyl, but they would want a package of songs. But some of the younger kids who are sort of raised in this new fancy kind of digital era that we're in don't know about albums, really, being released as a whole. So it's a strange time. It's harder to navigate."

It is not clear if the band's upcoming album, a follow-up to 2008's Chinese Democracy, will be released before their 2026 world tour concludes.
