GN'R guitarist DJ Ashba says a new Guns N' Roses record is on the way and the songs Axl Rose has written are genius.
This is what he had to say to music reporter Nui Te Koha on Triple M Melbourne's Hot Breakfast.
"Axl has a lot of great songs up his sleeve. He probably has three albums worth of stuff recorded.
"The stuff I've heard… I've been up in his hotel room many nights and he just sits down at the piano and plays. I'm like 'this is amazing, people have to hear this song' and he's like "ah, this is something I'm tinkering on'."
He described Axl as a musical genius with a rare gift for songwriting.
"He's just a genius when it comes down to music and I just cannot wait to sit down with an acoustic guitar and just write. He's just got this gift that's very, very rare."
It will be very interesting to hear what the band come up with to follow up the hugeness of Chinese Democracy. And, of course, a new album will make all us Gunners fans very happy indeed.
DJ Ashba also plays in Sixx: A.M. with Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx who have just released a new album called This Is Gonna Hurt. He is also the boyfriend of Melbourne model Nicky Whelan.

Three Albums Worth Of Songs... from their track record, it should only take them 30 to 40 years to record them.
