The 55-year-old continued: “I’ve been jamming with Duff [McKagan, bassist] and I’ve been jamming with Axl [Rose, frontman].
“And I’ve been doing stuff like that, so we’ve been getting some work done that way.
“But I haven’t been doing much else.Basically just focusing on writing new music.
“And recording demos and recording guitar stuff for Guns and whatnot.”
Back in 2016, Express.co.uk spoke with the band’s former manager Vicky Hamilton, who revealed he favourite crazy story from the band’s early days.
She said: “One day I was driving Guns N’ Roses to rehearsal in a friend of mine’s car who had kids. And there were Ernie and Bert [Sesame Street toys] in the back seat.
“I said, ‘Don’t mess with his kids’ toys.’ The next thing I know, I’m driving along and I smell burning."
“Axl was in the front seat with me and I look back to see they’ve taken Ernie and Bert, tied guitar strings around their necks and have them smoking cigarettes while being dangled out the window. I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ I was so pissed. I mean now it’s funny but it wasn’t funny then.”
