Nothing is still definitive, at least with GNR. 

yeah to think we know more than we actually do leads to wrong conclusions. judging by the very limited and general info that Slash and Duff sometimes share with us regarding new music, it seems that at least Slash and Duff are optimistic about it happening eventually so of course a good approach is to take everything with a grain of salt, but being too sure that it is never going to happen doesn't seem to be based on anything concrete either.

It's possible or not possible, i be 50%  optimist and 50% pesimist, just the great three knew it. We just can wait and see.

yeah but Slash doesn't have to answer any Gn'R questions when it comes to a new album and Duff could avoid these type of questions too. to me it seems they wanted to talk about it when in the past Duff would say shit like "we're gonna keep it mysterious". all I'm saying is that maybe, just maybe there were some positive developments in the new music department, meaning that Slash and Duff seem optimistic something would happen and the possibility of that happening shouldn't be shrugged off just because some shit that was said in the 90's or that Axl rarely releases new music. the truth is that it's still possible for them to do it. maybe some people don't want to even admit that to themselves which leads to mocking even the idea of it which is just not how I personally see it.

Slash doesn't seem to like to work at it until he gets a perfect take. listening to his solo albums you can hear it, like "4" for example or how he said he wanted to kill the producer of World On Fire cause he made him do too many takes of a guitar solo or whatever. that is just not his approach, which is fine. it's his choice. Chinese Democracy sounds like someone or a group of people dove in and found the monkey imo. I think after UYI Axl wanted to labor over it until he had something special and fresh which said something new musically and Slash just wanted more to get on with it so Axl called Slash lazy as in he wasn't willing to make the effort until they had the right material, but their relationship at that time was all fucked up anyway so even if Slash had the ability to make it happen and I believe he totally did like Axl said, maybe Slash wasn't interested in going into that process with Axl cause it wasn't fun for him anymore and Axl was problematic back then as well.
