Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash says the band’s reunion still feels strange to him.
He played his first shows in two decades with frontman Axl Rose and bassist Duff McKagan in April, and they’re currently crossing the US on their Not In This Lifetime tour – named after a quote Rose once gave about the chances of getting back together.
Slash tells Aeorosmith drummer Joey Kramer on WZLX radio: “Everybody’s playing nice. Everybody’s getting along and playing great, and the shows have been awesome.

- Hellfest boss vows to improve event next year in open letter to fans
- The live albums that changed history: 1973-1977
- Aerosmith's Tom Hamilton describes Ritchie Blackmore Rainbow shows as 'flat'
“We were all pretty positive that it would never happen – so it’s still sort of blowing our minds.”
He adds: “It seems so surreal to me, you know. But everybody’s getting along great. I think everybody’s come a long way, and it’s all cool.”
Rose last month raised the possibility of new Guns N’ Roses material, saying: “I played some stuff for Slash and Duff and they liked it.” The band are bookies’ favourites to appear at next year’s Download and Glastonbury festivals in the UK.
