\n\tGuns N\u2019 Roses<\/a> have forever see-sawed between singer Axl Rose\u2019s penchant for Elton John-style florid piano\/synth rock and a grittier, bombastic hard rock style influenced by their metal and punk forefathers. In an early Christmas gift to their fans on Thursday (Dec. 4), the veteran band stuffed a bit of each into their stockings via a pair of new songs.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe latest in a series of loosies the group has sprinkled out over the past few years, the swooning ballad \u201cNothin’\u201d brings to mind such GNR classics as \u201cNovember Rain\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t Cry,\u201d while the more hard-charging \u201cAtlas\u201d is a straight-on rocker that fans are sure to dive into given the veteran band\u2019s meager studio output over the past 17 years.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNothin’\u201d opens with plaintive keyboards as Rose sings \u201cThere\u2019s nothing I could see\/ That would mean more to me\/ Than what you are to me\/ All my love,\u201d before the arrangement cranks up, with the drums and churning electric guitars swelling and then receding as Rose climbs into his classic high register to wail about love redemption and salvation when it feels like no one else is there to save him. Then, of course, there is a crying, bluesy solo from guitarist Slash, who sounds in peak form as he provides the instrumental compliment to Rose\u2019s love lament, including a moving section at the three-minute mark that is reminiscent of the iconic guitar opening to Pearl Jam\u2019s \u201cYellow Ledbetter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe turbulent four-minute journey crashes to a close with Rose desperately wailing, \u201cwithout your love I\u2019ll never make it.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tOn the flip-side, \u201cAtlas\u201d charges out of the gate with a more aggressive posture, with a hard-charging rock attack and yet another signature Slash solo at the three-minute mark on the song that was also reportedly first conceived during the sessions for 2008\u2019s eternally gestating Chinese Democracy<\/em>. Both songs are credited to the full band, with production credit to Rose and Caram Costanzo (Janet Jackson, Rage Against the Machine); Costanzo co-produced Chinese Democracy<\/em> alongside Rose.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe songs are the first tracks from the band since the 2023 two-fers of \u201cThe General<\/a>\u201d and \u201cPerhaps\u201d and \u201cHard Skool\u201d and \u201cAbsurd\u201d in 2021. While Slash recently told Guitar World<\/em> that there is \u201cso much<\/a>\u201d material for a new album, at press time there was no definitive word about what would be the group\u2019s first LP of new material since 1991\u2019s Use Your Illusion I<\/em> and II<\/em>; Slash and founding bassist Duff McKagan left the group in 1996 and 1997, respectively, and re-joined in 2016.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe songs come as GNR are gearing up for massive 2026 world tour <\/a>that will include summer stadium and amphitheater dates in North America, as well as South American and European shows.<\/p>\n
