Slash Reveals How Guns N’ Roses Recorded Those Two
Elsewhere in the conversation, Slash was asked how Guns N’ Roses dropped those two unreleased songs, Hard Skool and Absurd. According to Slash, tho both songs have a huge history, which includes his and the band’s bassist Duff McKagan‘s entering into the studio to re-did songs.
“They both have a lot of history,” Slash continues. “What happened was Axl [Rose, the vocalist of the band] has all these songs that he recorded at some point along the way.
“And so Duff and I went in and re-did them, basically… Like, I wrote my own kind of parts to what else is going on, and [we] just sort of took the drums and re-did everything else.”
Guns N’ Roses was previously said to be working on a new effort. Now, it’s official. The new album will mark the band’s seventh album and follow-up to their 2008’s Chinese Democracy. Also, the album will be the first album that features Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan since the sixth.
