Guns N' Roses are set to begin working on their new album shortly, with guitarist DJ Ashba claiming that they have "a bunch of good ideas" - and that the record won't take as long to make as Chinese Democracy.

There was a 15-year-wait between 1993's "The Spaghetti Incident?" and 2008's Chinese Democracy, but Asbha told RockItOutBlog.com: "We've got a lot of good stuff on the plate coming out," he continued. "It won't take as long [as Chinese Democracy] – I promise.

"I'm excited to get this next one rolling. Axl [Rose] has a lot of good shit up his sleeves, so I'm really excited about it."
