Guns N’ Roses Bassist to Release New Solo Album in August

Written by Rob Sleigh
Guns N’ Roses bassist Tommy Stinson is to release his new solo album ‘One Man Mutiny’ on 30th August. The album is the second solo effort from Stinson, who is also known as a founding member of The Replacements and the current bassist for Soul Asylum. Stinson has been with Guns N’ Roses since 1998 and performed on their sixth album ‘Chinese Democracy’ – the first from the band since 1993’s ‘The Spaghetti Incident’. He released his debut solo album ‘Village Gorilla Head’ in 2004.
Stinson will donate a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the album to the Timkatec Schools in Haiti. Last summer, Stinson held an on-line auction and raised over $40,000 for the schools, which have housed and provided skilled trade education for abandoned and orphaned youths in the Pétionville district of Port-au-Prince for over ten years.
Speaking about his new album, Stinson said: “I’m finding it a lot more interesting to make music these days. Especially given the musical climate as of the last few years – there are a lot of people complaining about how bad it is. I am actually embracing the challenges.”
‘One Man Mutiny’ is produced by Philip Broussard Jr. who has previously worked with the likes of The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Weezer.
