SLASH Shoots Down GUNS N' ROSES Reunion Rumors

23 June 2006

Former GUNS N' ROSES/current VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash has shot down endless months of rumors that he will rejoin Axl Rose in the band he helped create.

However, the guitarist told MTV.com: "I don't know where [the rumors come] from, but I haven't dealt with GUNS N' ROSES any more than I have in the
last 10 years," which is not much at all. So it's not really a thing with me. I have, in the foreseeable future, no re-involvement with that band whatsoever."

Slash is currently working with VELVET REVOLVER on their forthcoming second album, the follow-up to 2004's double-platinum "Contraband".

While frontman Scott Weiland has called the material a concept album and bassist Duff McKagan said the band will record with a variety of producers, all Slash would reveal is that the LP is coming together naturally, and "it's not phony in any way, shape or form, and the band's whole-heartedly into it.

"I don't want to say [anything specific about] the songs, but the name for the album is 'Libertad', which is Spanish for 'liberty,' " Slash said.
