Demo versions of the song featured sweet, yearning vocals from <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/axl-rose\" target=\"_blank\">Axl Rose<\/a> over shimmering guitar chords and &#8217;90s alt-rock melodies. <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/queen\" target=\"_blank\">Queen<\/a> guitarist <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/brian-may\/\" target=\"_blank\">Brian May<\/a> was featured on at least one version of the song.<\/p>\n<p>Less is known about &#8220;Nothin&#8217;,&#8221; although Guns N&#8217; Roses bassist <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/duff-mckagan\" target=\"_blank\">Duff McKagan<\/a> did <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ss_info\/status\/1918597537042248149?s=20\" target=\"_blank\">mention<\/a> the song during a Fender Flagship Tokyo event earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a new song that is coming out soon that we&#8217;re starting to play live \u2014 it&#8217;s called &#8216;Nothin&#8221; \u2014 and I scroll between full tone on and full off,&#8221; McKagan said while demonstrating the tonal capabilities of his bass.<\/p>\n<h3>Will Guns N&#8217; Roses Release a New Album in 2026?<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Atlas&#8221; and &#8220;Nothin'&#8221; will bring Guns N&#8217; Roses&#8217; post-reunion song\u00a0total\u00a0up to six.
