Axl Rose will die before he works with Slash again.

The Guns N' Roses singer insists he has no plans to ever reunite with his former guitarist, though he would consider collaborating with other former members of the group.

I'm not so comfortable with doing anything having more than one of the alumni

He said: "I could see doing a song or so on the side with Izzy Stradlin or having him out on tour again. I'm not so comfortable with doing anything having more than one of the alumni. Maybe something with Duff McKagan, but that's it, and not something I'd have to really get down into, as I'd get left with sorting it out and then blamed on top of it. So, no, not me.

"In regards to Slash, I read a desperate fan's message about, what if one of us were to die and looking back I had the possibility of a reunion now, blah blah blah. And my thoughts are, 'Yeah, and while you're at the show your baby accidentally kicks a candle and burns your house down, killing himself and the rest of your family.'

"Give me a f**king break. What's clear is that one of the two of us will die before a reunion and however sad, ugly or unfortunate anyone views it, it is how it is. Those decisions were made a long time ago and reiterated year after year by one man."

The singer also admits he was unsure current album 'Chinese Democracy' would ever be released.

Axl admits there were always uncertainties surrounding the record, which was finally made available last year after 14 years in the studio.
