Axl Rose discusses new lineup & album on the radio

“Axl Rose made a surprise radio appearance to proclaim that Guns N’ Roses 10-years-in-the-making “Chinese Democracy” album will finally hit store shelves this fall. Rose said the band at the Hammerstein shows will be similar to the one that played the 2002 tour, except for a new lead guitarist, whom he declined to identify except to say it’s not an old GNR member. Buckethead left the band in 2004.

However, later in the broadcast, Rose seemed to contradict himself when he said hes been hobnobbing with former GNR guitarist and songwriter Izzy Stradlin, and strongly hinted that Stradlin may show up for the Hammerstein shows. Former GNR guitar maestro Slash may end up back in the band as well, but probably not before the Hammerstein shows.” [Yahoo news]
