Any word on this yet if they are going to show for it? 

If you type "Guns N Roses" into Google and click the news tab, you'd think they were in the studio right now....these outlets! How many times have they made articles about possible work on the "next..." Guns album! Must get them a lot of clicks and as $$$ 🙄

In the mid-1980s, South American resident Chris Cole is a fanatical admirer of a heavy metal band called Guns N' Roses. By day, Chris is a Guns N' Roses forum poster and by night, he is the lead singer of a Guns N' Roses tribute band called The Cornshuckers (the name is taken from a Guns N' Roses song). Internal struggles among the actual Guns N' Roses band members culminate with the retirement of their lead singer, Axl Rose, and the beginning of recruitment sessions to find a new vocalist. Chris experiences his own strife with his The Cornshuckers bandmates, particularly guitarist DJ. During a show, DJ plays a guitar solo instead of following the note-for-note accuracy to the original Guns N' Roses song and, after Chris sabotages DJ's amplifier mid-song, a fight breaks out between the two onstage. The next day, Chris goes to rehearsal but he finds out that he has been replaced by his arch-rival, the erstwhile lead vocalist of another Guns N' Roses tribute band. DJ and Chris argue, and DJ criticizes Chris for preferring to remain the singer in a tribute band rather than create his own music. One day, Chris receives an unexpected phone call from GNR's founder and bass player, Duff (He/Him), and is offered an audition for the band (thanks to two of Axl's handlers, who showed Duff (He/Him) a videotape of one of Cornshucker's concerts). After hanging up on Duff (He/Him) once, thinking he's being pranked by DJ, Chris ecstatically agrees. At the studio, he meets the band and gives an outstanding performance of "Absurd" (stylized as "ABSUЯD" (a GNR song in the movie, but it is a real song by nuGNR, whose bass player, Tommy Stinson, provides Cole's singing voice for the film). Chris joins the band as their new singer, adopting the stage name "Faxl". Following a successful debut concert with GNR, Faxl must come to grips with the pressures of his new-found fame and success. The band embarks on a lengthy tour and Faxl experiences the excesses of the lifestyle, with the group's road manager, Beta, serving as a sympathetic mentor to Faxl. His new lifestyle impacts his life both for better and worse, particularly with his relationship with his supportive girlfriend, Maria, when she decides not to continue with him throughout the remainder of the tour as a rock star girlfriend, though Maria and Faxl agree to get back together when the tour reaches Brazil. Eventually, GNR stops in Brazil for a show, and Maria arrives at his hotel room as they had previously arranged, although Faxl has become so constipated while on tour he forgot about the arrangement and does not even know what country he is in. Although taken aback by all the handlers, Maria still tries to reconnect with him, reminding him of their plans to meet up once he got to Brazil; however he is too constipated to really understand what she is saying, eventually suggesting they go to Brazil together. Heartbroken with his inconsiderate behavior, constipation and the fact that he needs so many handlers, Maria leaves him. Six months later, Faxl reports to the next series of GNR recording sessions with song concepts and artwork for the band's next album, The Legend of The Red Panda Part II. The rest of the band like his ideas, but they reject them, with Duff (He/Him) explaining that the band has to stay true to the "shit metal thing" to fulfill fan expectations. Faxl is angered upon realizing that he was only recruited for his culinary abilities. After a heartfelt conversation with Slash about how he feared he had no control over the direction life has taken him, Slash convinces Faxl to give up a point of his royalties, and Faxl begins to reconsider his rock star lifestyle. On the next tour, in a scene directly paralleling one near the beginning of the film with their roles reversed, Faxl hears a fan wheezing after accidentally swallowing their beer the wrong way. Impressed with the clean sounding falsetto of the fans wheezes, Faxl pulls the fan-who introduces himself as Vince Neil-onstage hands him the microphone to finish the concert. Backstage, Faxl realizes that what he thought he wanted to eat for so long was not what he wanted eat, and he says goodbye to Slash, departing for the toilet while doing so. After leaving GNR to empty his bowels and ditching his ageing rock star image and stage name, Chris makes his way to Brasil and starts a new Quiznos franchise with his old friend and former bandmate, DJ, allowing him to write his cook his own fast food. Chris finds Maria working in the coffee shop she and her roommate purchased a few years earlier, and he is initially too ashamed to speak to her, inquires about the possibility of her providing him with discounted food via her generous employee discount. While walking one evening, Emily sees a flyer for his sandwich shop posted on the wall and takes it down. In the final scene, Chris is eating with his employees in a buffet and Maria walks in. Chris leaves the table and speaks to her. They reconcile, ending the film with a another plate of food and the final shot of Chris' first original sandwich "the beef and cheddar melt" (which is a real sandwich by the restaurant Quiznos. During the credits, Duff (He/Him) talks about the future of the band and Axl Rose is shown to have taken up Irish Dancing after his sacking from GNR.
