The "insider" at GNRevolution now seems pessimistic: 

The planning for the new album was shifted to the Euro and US tours. The situation with the virus is a wait and watch thing, ticket sales for concerts, in general, have stalled.

And:

New material was said, not album. So I do not know.

Slash is also planning to return to his other projects next year (not sure when)

Fuck this shit. Worst "band" ever since 1993.

Summary: Still, no one knows anything.

Welp, that’s the nail in the coffin for me! No new album, it sounds like.

I’ll at least hold onto hope that we get stuff like a UYI reissue and, if we’re lucky, maybe an EP or a new compilation with some new tunes or a song on a soundtrack or something.

Slash doing SMKC next year isn't an unreasonable prediction, certain people in that camp think it might happen too. Depends on Myles too though.

How legit is that “insider” from gnrevo anyways?

He has the same name (sp1at) as the website that got those interviews about unreleased GNR songs in 2005 (the quotes are on Chinese Whispers). I don't know if that's his website, or anything else about him.

Not even really sure what that means ‘planning for the new album was shifted’? The release of it?

To be honest those updates seem REALLY vague. That Jarmo dude still seems pretty optimistic and at least we can say he does at least have a link to the group.

Jarmo has said his sole source was Fernando's Reddit post though.

[rocknroll41 2,463]

Just outta curiosity, would you guys be satisfied if all we got was an EP of like seven or eight re-recorded ChiDem leftovers?

Oh - did he? I was sure there was folk who said he had genuine links to TB.....hoping it’s not as grim as it sounds.

He does have genuine links, he just said something along the lines of "all the information I have is the same as you, the Reddit post" (not an exact quote).

He was part of the touring crew in the 2009-2010 days (my guess is to just be a “professional best friend” like De James). Maybe he’s not part of that inner circle anymore? I haven’t kept up with that guy ever since I axed my Facebook account, which was ages ago now.

EDIT: nevermind I see that the post above me clarified.

I think he referring to the release date solely (the March rumors) because the other day I saw him post that he knows new music exists. Then again, that's not exactly news.

If one of them is The General with Slash?....Yes.

Pretty sure I saw Beta yell at Jarmo by the barrier in 2016.

I also saw Slash shoo him away with his camera in 2016.

Yep, at least with SMKC we have new music and touring. But after the lacklustre LTD not sure how receptive i would to another release....i think slash should do another friends album and use the vocalist from dirty honey for touring.

Its unfortunate SMKC is slashs main priority.

I, for one, am excited for the Lebeis Family: Please Come So We Don't Have To Work When Axl Retires Tour 2020.

[suckerpunched03 44]

Hahah. hanging on to every word of Fernando and jarmo. I know duffs wife’s friend told cameras about the reunion. She’s been a better source of info than either of these two

Maybe, depends on what songs.

I think considering duff wrote material for ozzys new album as well as his solo record anything less than an album or even double album from this band is pure laziness.

An ep at the beginning of 2018 could have been doable to keep people wanting more and more people coming to the shows but thats to logical.

For whatever reason, I still think we will get something. That said, if they have no intention of doing that - just say so. That way everyone knows the score and knows where they stand.

Instead, go and mine the wealth of stuff in the vaults and release old pro-shots, deluxe editions of UYI and CD etc. Little effort, a bit of care and release them - I’ll buy them as would loads of fans.
