GUNS N ROSES

AUG. 1ST | HERSHEYPARK STADIUM

Guns N’ Roses have released two new singles. Nothin’ and Atlas, which were announced last month when the band confirmed their touring schedule for 2026, are both available on streaming platforms now.

Like the other singles released by the band since their reunion in 2016 (Absurd, Hard Skool, Perhaps, and The General), both are songs with their origins in the sessions for 2008’s Chinese Democracy album. According to the band’s representatives, Atlas is “GNR in full surging rock mode” while Nothin’ “grows more introspective over floaty keys and an emotive guitar.”

Both songs were written by Guns N’ Roses and produced by Axl Rose alongside Caram Costanzo. Costanzo also co-produced Chinese Democracy and was the band’s front-of-house engineer on the Chinese Democracy and Not in This Lifetime tours.

According to Costanzo’s website, he worked “exclusively” with Guns N’ Roses from 2000 to 2023 and is now working on Janet Jackson’s 2024-2025 Resorts World Residency tour, suggesting that work on Nothin’ and Atlas may not have been completed recently.

As usual, the band remain tight-lipped about the background to the recordings, with no official details emerging regarding the musicians involved in the sessions or if an album is in the pipeline. In a recent interview with Guitar World, guitarist Slash appeared hopeful but unwilling to be specific.
