Several prominent members of Guns N’ Roses inner circle have given interviews where they discuss knowledge of the band in the studio creating new music together .Although this is unconfirmed by the band itself, both former GNR publicist Arlett Vereecke, known to still be on good terms with the band and their current manager Alan Niven have given separate interviews to Classic Rock Magazine where they discuss new music from the band.
Vereecke comments:
“I know they’re doing some recording. They’re definitely doing something there in the studio. Axl hasn’t been there, but Slash is definitely in there and it’s not for anyone else.”
Niven also corroborated that news:
“Duff and Izzy were in the studio before Christmas doing stuff. At a casual glance I think they’ve got at least a couple of tracks down.”

The group are already headlining Coachella, opening the Las Vegas Arena and, playing two dates in Mexico City in April.

Dubbing the show “To Heavy For Halftime”, the concert was the warm up to Super Bowl 50, played at the bands hometown stadium in San Francisco Sunday night.In addition to the sold-out crowd of 41,195, the event live streamed so that hundred’s of thousands of fans around the world could watch the show at either Metallica’s website or on YouTube. Cage The Elephant was the opening act. The band played a mainly old-school set drawing heavily from the 80s, and Load and Reload from the mid-90s, with nothing from an album past the year 1999. At the end of the concert drummer Lars Ulrich promised the band would see you real soon with a new album in 2016. Earlier in the night frontman James Hetfield claimed the album was “almost done”.

Enter Shikari released a new video for their brand new single ‘Redshift’ on Annie Mac’s BBC 1 show last night. You can watch the video for ‘Redshift’ at this link or below:
Enter Shikari is still on the road supporting both 2014s The Mindsweep and 2015s companion album The Mindsweep Hospitalized. ‘Redshift’ is produced by the band and producer Dan Weller, and mixed by Tim Bran (London Grammar, La Roux, The Verve). The video directed by Mike Tyler (previous ES videos or ‘Anaesthetist’ and ‘Torn Apart’).
Rou Reynolds comments:
“Redshift is a song about bloody good luck! On the grandest of scales! Literally! Our universe is expanding faster and faster and a few trillion years from now, everything will have sped away from us so fast that all we would see when looking out from Earth is empty space. We would deduce that we were totally alone in the universe. A lost sheep. The last and only biscuit in the tin”
Enter Shikari is heading out on tour in the UK with The Wonder Years and the freshly-reformed original line-up of The King Blues. They will play bigger venues than at any time in their career and will utilize quadrophonic sound design at every show. This will be followed up by a tour of Germany with The Qemists and Modestep on different halves of dates.
