Axl Rose has written three Guns N Roses albums
Axl Rose Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose has written three albums worth of material, according to the band's guitarist DJ Ashba.
Speaking to Triple M Melbourne's Hot Breakfast, DJ Ashba said Rose had been writing prolifically ever since the release of 'Chinese Democracy' in 2008 - the band's first album of the original material since 1991.
"Axl has a lot of great songs up his sleeve. He probably has three albums worth of stuff recorded,” he said.
The guitarist went on to claim the new material is "amazing": "The stuff I've heard… I've been up in his hotel room many nights and he just sits down at the piano and plays. I'm like 'This is amazing, people have to hear this song' and he's like 'Ah, this is something I'm tinkering on'."
DJ Ashba - who joined Guns N' Roses in 2009 - went on to describe band mate Rose as a musical “genius”: “He's just a genius when it comes down to music and I just cannot wait to sit down with an acoustic guitar and just write. He's just got this gift that's very, very rare.”
