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 much talked about reunion of the “classic” Guns `N Roses lineup so far only includes W. Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan, according to a press release the band put out tonight. This is the first official word put out by the a, beyond posts to social media.Touting the reunion as the first time these band members have all shared a stage since 1993; the official text of the press release only confirms “founder Axl Rose and former members Slash and Duff McKagan will regroup to headline the Coachella Music & Arts Festival (April 15-17 & April 22-24).”

Not only has their been rampant speculation for months about whether they would actually reunite, there has been equal amount of chatter among fans and the press as to who would form this lineup. Although in the actual announcement last night Duff McKagan tagged both Matt Sorum and Steven Adler in his post, neither was confirmed in the press release or official announcement by the band. Equally mum has been reclusive rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, former guitarist Gilby Clark, or current GNR band members Richard Fortus and Frank Ferrer. It has been presumed by the media that long time keyboardist Dizzy Reed would also return. It’s possible with the format of Coachella the GNR performances could include some or all past members of the band. We will continue to follow this story as it develops.
