Slash Signals New GNR Album—No Covers, No Nostalgia, Just New Noise

Speaking with Sylvia Alvarado on Las Vegas’s KOMP 92.3, Slash discusses the most recent additions to the Guns N’ Roses catalog—“Atlas” and “Nothin”—which quietly landed in December like postcards from a band that rarely writes home.

Peering ahead, he confirms that the group’s next studio effort will eschew nostalgia and head directly into uncharted territory: an album of entirely new, original material, leaving covers and archival fragments behind—for now.

Slash Calls It Discipline, Fans Call It Waiting: GN’R Album “Coming” Eventually

Teasing what feels like déjà vu wrapped in leather and hazy nostalgia, Slash tells Guitar World that a new Guns N’ Roses album isn't a fever dream—it’s actually “coming.” He describes an avalanche of material gathering dust, stalled less by inspiration than by the band's reluctance to sit still long enough to harness it.

The guitarist admits it’s all about “discipline,” hinting that the project’s real antagonist isn’t writer’s block, but a scattered creative energy begging to be herded into coherence.
