Guns N’ Roses have returned today with two brand new singles. Marking their first new music release since 2023, Nothin’ and Atlas find the long-running band still at the height of their powers, showcasing two different sides of their personality. Atlas is GN’R in full surging rock mode, while Nothin’ grows more introspective over floaty keys and an emotive guitar. Both songs are available today via Interscope Records.
Guns N’ Roses have steadily been releasing new material in recent years in conjunction with their sold-out tours across the globe. Following 2023’s The General (listen here) and Perhaps (click here), Atlas and Nothin’ join as vital additions to setlists otherwise featuring all the classic hits and deep cut fan favorites from GN’R‘s early catalogue. On December 12th, Nothin‘ and Atlas will be available for pre-order on seven-inch vinyl, a Guns N’ Roses store-exclusive cassette and a Japan-exclusive SHM-CD.
Guns N’ Roses previously released a four-song EP, Hard Skool (listen to the single here), in February 2022. The effort, which was exclusive to the the band’s official store, contained the two new songs the band released in 2021 — the title track and Absurd (click here)— as well as live versions of Don’t Cry and You’re Crazy.

Nothing is a good song! Atlas is a b side or c side. Axle voice sounds like he took a breath of helium!! Haha ok more important things! I am listening to a killer hard rocking cd Bush The Kingdom!!! It may be their hardest release!! Also being a big Saga fan. Saga the pleasure and the pain!!!
These two “new” G n R songs weren’t good enough to be on Chinese Democracy, so why release them now? I know this band has been touring for pretty much a decade non-stop. But in ten years and all the sound checks and all the hotel rooms, they can’t get together and write some brand new G n R tunes that are fresh but still sound like the first few albums? Come on, man!
George – The Kingdom is a great Bush record!
Back to the Question Of The Week, yes, in the ’80s during the MTV era image was important, but if you didn’t have at least some good/decent music behind it you were “Hair” today, and gone tomorrow! As far as GN’R? I’m still waiting for some real good NEW music…
“Hair” today, gone tomorrow….clever-LOL! Even though I hate the term hair metal, I did appreciate that. 🙂
I hate that term as well!
Yuk!
Axl leftovers from a crappy record. Big deal. They were a one album band like the Pistols. From Illusion on, garbage. No Izzy, no real swagger. No Adler, no groove. All top heavy and boring. Come down from your ivory tower and play some effing rock and roll, will you??
Real Paul Stanley, thank you for clearing that up about the Bush album. Not a fan, but I thought there was a band called Bush The Kingdom, which is an even more ridiculous name than naming your band after some shrub. I always thought when picking a band name, if it sounds ridiculous being announced at a concert, it’s ridiculous. “Please welcome, BUSH!!” See what I mean? To each his or her own, but damn lol
