Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose has been one busy guy. Not only has he taken a big chunk of time out of his life to temporarily front AC/DC as they finish their Rock or Bust Tour, but he is also getting a GN'R reunion tour underway. To top that all off, Rose is working on new GN'R material with lead guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan and there exists the possibility that he will be working on new stuff with AC/DC lead guitarist Angus Young.
In a recent press conference at The China Exchange (which can be viewed in its entirety below) Rose went into detail about a number of things, including the new material for sure being worked on as well as the hinting at working with Young.
In regards to that, Rose says:
"We are working on new stuff. I got a lot of stuff together and I played some stuff for Slash and Duff and they liked it, they might be on it...we don't know. Angus and I are talking about working together."
Personally while I'm naturally stoked at the fact that new GN'R material is being worked on with Slash and Duff I'm intrigued by the idea of Rose working with Young. While both of them have fairly similar musical roots they both have veered off in noticeably different directions with their work. Young is more along the lines of raw, straight up, in your face no frill blues based rock n' roll while Rose has gone a more grand and artistic route. I'd be curious to hear what exactly original material from them would sound like, all of that considered.
