Just comparing Appetite - Illusion -timeline to present, if Appetite would have been released the first date of this reincarnation of GNR, April 1 2016. Illusions would be set to released in May 28, 2020.

Nevertheless, it does not seem to be plausible that we would see a double album next month.

Bit ot maybe but certainly not too well known that Dizzy also plays in this new album of Finnish band Atomirotta with ex-members of Smack (Rane), Hanoi Rocks (Michael & Sami) and Queens of the Stone Age (Gene).

I wouldn't confront these two things: releasing new music and tweeting about politics. Loving Axl's music and hating the outputting his political point of views in twitter can be a bit tricky in future IF there's new music. I mean what would be most likely inspiration for new lyrics? Cheap alcohol, getting wasted, easy girls... didn't think so. And as for many UYI-themes, Axl seems too much of a happy chap to do those again... So he writes ten new love songs? He doesn't. 

When Chinese Democracy was all from totally different world, I can't see they would write new songs about Appetite-topics for old times' sake, now that Slash is back in the band. Trump's politics can actually be a driving force for new music, who knows. When you lose your home or/and your whole community is at least in great danger to do so, every year. And your country's leader gives a totally moronic statement about it, i would think that's pretty damn scary and helpless scenario. I'm not a songwriter and cannot say what can inspire a person to write music. I'm just saying that politics are close and personal thing for the band's lyricist, right now.

Sounds like a song Axl would have written had Campbell not written it first. 

Written by Jimmy Webb of course.
