Dj says Axl has material for three new records ready

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.

Wow, Ashba takes Bach's asskissing to a whole new level!

Would be cool if he's right though!

I think Axl has sketches and ideas for enough songs to fill at least three records, and some of these exist in different stages of completion (remnants from the CD sessions), but it will still take time to get the other members in to record their parts and then the endless tinkering and mixing....

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Axl has so many amazing songs. I've sat in his hotel room and listened to him play the piano - the guy is a music genius. He'll be sitting there playing shit that is like the next 'November Rain' type stuff and he'll say 'Oh, it's just something I am tinkering with.' The guy has so many great song ideas, not to mention the guy has like three albums worth of material just sitting there. Really great stuff. I've been doing demos in my studio around the clock and I've got a shitload of ideas so together we're going to go through and put together an amazing GNR record"

Dj addressed this recently: "I've worked with a lot of talented people, but this guy, I'm telling you, he has songs up his sleeve that I've sat down at the piano with him, and literally, my jaw hits the piano bench. He has a lot of songs up his sleeve. Obviously, I'm in the band, and I have no reason to kiss his ass, I'm just kind of putting it out as it is. The guy is just fucking incredible. The songs that he has that no one's heard… I pray to God one day people get to hear what he has up his sleeve, because me being a fan for one, but the shit is just awesome" [Source: http://gnr-afd.forumotion.com/t553-interview-with-dj-on-metalholiccom-june-2011]

So there you have it. No asskissing
