Slash / Trunk Interview: GNR Working On New Material, NO GNR Song In Terminator

[GnR Chris 519]

Slash was on Trunk a couple hours ago on SiriusXM.

Slash: "We're just doing this one run in the states and a couple dates in Mexico end of this month into November. That's it for Guns for now, and I think we have something coming up in March as far as touring is concerned. But then, obviously, everybody knows that we're working on new material, which is really exciting, and so, that's really primarily what the focus is. There's nothing in the Terminator movie, by the way."

Trunk: "Duff has been out with his own record ... Where are you at with Guns N' Roses new music? Are you all working individually? Has everybody gotten together? A song, an album?"

Slash: "I have nothing to tell you information-wise other than no, it's not that. Everybody has been sort of like, when we're in town, working on it. Then when we're out of town, obviously not."

Trunk: "Would you like to do a full Guns N' Roses album?" (as opposed to a single or EP)

Slash: "Everybody wants to have a full album released. I don't think that's really changed all that much. There's a different way of putting stuff out initially nowadays more so than ... you sort of look at that preliminary release a little differently now. At the end of the day, we will ultimately release a full album."

Trunk: "On Guns N' Roses with the live shows coming up, I know you didn't start rehearsals yet, but is it basically gonna be more or less the same sort of set and what you guys have done in the past, or for these shows, are you working up some different things?"

Slash: "There's a couple different things that we're talking about doing, that are sort of in the works to do. That we're planning on doing. So, I'll just leave it at that."

 

Trunk, after the interview, about the news that a new GNR tune won't be in Terminator:

"I'll give a little asteriks on that. About a week before it was announced that Slash was back in Guns N' Roses, true story, he called me. Not texted. He called me privately. 'I don't know anything about this Guns N' Roses stuff that's going on.'" (Trunk laughs) "So take that into the equation ... he threw up some serious smoke and mirrors on me at the time ... then a week later, the Not in this Lifetime tour was announced ... He's done that misdirection shit to me once or twice before."

Glad we can put the Terminator rumour to bed now

[ManetsBR 618]

So Eddie Trunk doesn't know about the leaks either?

[El Guapo 525]

Ok. 

[Gibsonfender2323 309]

So whats going on in March?

Metallica GNR 2.0?

Foo FIghters/GNR?

AC/DC?

[GNRmello77 420]

I'm glad Slash spoke about the Terminator thing so we don't have to keep out hopes up. Too bad tho. Atleast official word regarding a new album as their main focus! Thanks for sharing

Someone out here was saying Lollapalooza (not the Chicago one obviously).

It was also nice to hear that they're working on it together, not just sort of sending digital clips back and forth.

Most likely Lollapallooza in Brazil and some other shows in SA.

I edited the title of the thread so we don't have to have 14 threads about this same interview, all thinking they've broken the news about no Terminator track

That's cool. Yeah, I didn't see a transcript anymore when someone else posted that Slash was on Trunk. Then I remembered I had a SiriusXM sub. haha! 

But the Terminator part is non-news to me, 'cause Trunk himself notes that Slash has misdirected news in the past in regards to GNR. Trunk even joked that tomorrow now there will probably be a press release about a new Guns song in Terminator. haha

[ManetsBR 618]

Just emailed Trunk. If he didn't know about the leaks, he does now.

I'm sure he reads every single email in his inbox.

[GnR Chris 519]

I'm sure Trunk likely knows about the leaks. Even if he does, he's boys with Slash. Trunk won't ask him anything on the air that Slash isn't really in a position to answer. He's not gonna set him up like that.

New GN'R album in March or May, sometime in the fall 2020 or maybe not. I'll just leave it at that...

[jafeijo 170]

Fingers crossed for setlist changes/new song on this next leg.

[ManetsBR 618]

I'd definetly read an email titled A BUNCH OF NEW GNR LEAKS. And sure, I don't know if he'll read it, and he probably knows it already anyway, and of course he wouldn't ask Slash, that's not the point.

It's just, why not do it? It took me 2 minutes to find his email and another one to write the message.

If a full album really is their focus then I doubt it’ll be done and out by the end of this year, which means GnR would have officially skipped out on any new studio releases throughout the entire decade of the 2010’s, despite being an officially “active” band the entire decade... yay... oh well. At least we got NITL, Axl/DC, and L&L this decade. Better than nothing!

Not necessarily. Slash said the intention is to eventually have a full record release (as opposed to coming out with just a single or just an EP) while noting that the run-up to a record release is done a little differently these days. For example (and this is me interjecting with an example now, not paraphrasing), Post Malone's recent record features like five or six songs that have been out for a while now. Whereas in the past, traditionally, you released a single ahead of the full album.

They always seem to be so vague 

[Dean 1,317]

The thought of potential new material being a 2021 release is pretty painful. I hope they’re further on in regards to album than what we’re led to believe.

If it was the case I imagine they could do a UYI/New album release. Interested to see what they'll do regarding a possible UYI boxset. As for the present, I'd love to go stateside and see a GNR gig but I imagine tickets sell pretty quick.

[sofine11 637]

Wasn't Slash supposed to have been recording with Axl as recently as a few weeks ago, or I did I mishear that?

[CCudder 15]

Hahaha this band stinks. 

[megaguns1982 478]

2021 : UYI re-release for $999 with a whole bunch of shit and the new single "ain't going down"
