Guitarist Richard Fortus (Guns N' Roses, The Dead Daisies) is featured in a new interview with Rock.About.com. An excerpt is available below with Fortus discussing G'N'R's current game plan for the future:

Q: What is the current status of GNR. You've said before that there might be plans to record and tour with GNR next year. Is that still happening?

Fortus: "The current state of GNR is pretty up in the air. The last I heard they wanted to finish up the recordings that we have and put them out next year and start touring. But it has been a while since I've heard from anybody in that camp as far as management or Axl. So I really don't know."

Q: How much have you recorded for the new GNR album?

Fortus: "There's a lot of stuff recorded that is in the can. I have no idea what will be used or scrapped or if we'll end up redoing it. I really have no idea as far as what's going on with that stuff."

Q: What has it been like working with Axl Rose?

Fortus: "Axl has always been cool with me and he's a hell of a musician. Some people are just really musical. They just are music and he is music personified, he really is. He's just one of the cats that just lives it. He always thinks musically. He listens - which is what makes him a great musician. Music is all that matters to him. I've never met anyone with as much musical and artistic integrity as Axl Rose."
