GNR Continues Sans Slash: Guns N’ Roses, which emerged from Los Angeles clubs in the '80s to become one of the biggest-selling bands in rock history, plans to release an album of new material next year despite the recent ouster of guitarist and co-founder Slash, Geffen Records said Monday. The remaining band members—singer Axl Rose, bassist Duff McKagan, keyboardist Dizzy Reed and drummer Matt Sorum—continue to write and rehearse while they search for a new guitarist. Meanwhile, Slash is putting together his own band, although manager Tom Marr does not rule out a reconciliation between Slash and Rose: “You don't want to close all the doors. Right now, though, Axl and Slash just aren't seeing eye to eye.”
