"I can’t give anybody a definite date, because I’m not gonna give anybody false hope. But what I can say is making a new album absolutely is our main priority,” Ashba told Mama’s Fallen Angels (via Gibson). "And I cannot wait to get working on the album.”

He went on to reveal that GN’R frontman Axl Rose already has loads of tracks recorded for the new LP. "I mean, Axl has tons and tons of stuff recorded as it is. I mean, he sits there in his hotel room and he’ll play me hours of stuff. And I’ve written over 10 songs – I think 12 songs now – for him that he really likes,” he said. "And I think now that we’re off tour, we’re gonna kind of start talking about, ‘Hey, let’s start piecing together what we feel would be the next best Guns N’ Roses record.’ It’s absolutely everybody’s goal to get out an album within a reasonable amount of time. That is everybody’s focus.”
