Duff McKagan has revealed that there is “a desire and a plan” for new Guns N’ Roses music

On October 29th, Duff McKagan, the bassist for Guns N’ Roses, stated on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk” that he and his bandmates have been working on new music.

There’s definitely a desire and a plan for new music. Yeah, for sure.

He spoke also about the fact that Guns N’ Roses haven’t played live since finishing a North American tour at the Hell & Heaven Metal Fest in Mexico in November 2023.

You can go on a tour and you can have peaks and valleys on the tour. And we never do. It’s always, like, every gig is super special. Even when we extended our tour — after touring for so much, extending it for another four weeks, that can destroy a band. I’ve seen it happen. That’s too long. You went too long. And everybody’s starting to snap at each other and the crew and all that stuff. But it doesn’t happen with our band or our crew. So we ended on this really highlight, which was Mexico City, this huge gig we did. And we played two nights at the Hollywood Bowl right before that. It was really special. We had The Black Keys opening at the Hollywood Bowl — a really cool, different sort of show. So I think we ended and were, like, ‘Oh, man. Let’s not end. Let’s get back to this soon.’ But I think for me, I know I had to rest — I had to rest my body. A lot of hours on stage. A lot of traveling. And I’ve gotta listen to my body these days. I’ve gotta listen. So I had to rest. I think we all need to rest. Slash, he’ll go out and tour, like, four weeks later [with one of his projects] and do it all over again. I’m, like, ‘Okay, dude. More power to you. I’m gonna go to Hawaii. I’m going to Hawaii, man.’
