Re: Slash on new GNR album: "We just haven't really got there yet"

That said, the band have released only four songs since 2008’s oft-delayed album Chinese Democracy, which Slash was not involved with. Their gigs still sell tickets, but will we ever see a new album from him and Rose? “We just haven’t really got there yet,” he says, in a manner that suggests they never will.

If the band truly recorded only six songs, which Slash has alluded to before, that's not even enough to make the "singles compilation" album he has speculated about. I mean, Rainbow Rising is only six songs, but that was 1976. It would basically be a glorified EP.
The worst part of Atlas/Monsters potentially being the last two tracks is it means Axl probably never recorded Oklahoma/Berlin. It's only been heard as an instrumental, both on the Village discs and when the album was previewed for Rolling Stone. It was an alternate for Riad in 2001, so we know Axl must have had lyrics in mind for it, but they were probably never recorded, ala the "bitch like you" Silkworms chorus. And if Axl didn't record a vocal track for it back then, he sure as shit ain't doing it now.

But Duff keeps saying things are “very positive” with regards to new music. So Slash must just be lying again… 
Re: Slash on new GNR album: "We just haven't really got there yet"
With this band it’s the hope that kills you
It’s like with new guns where you thought the tour was gaining momentum and then you’d read an article with total dismay “axl bites security guards leg in Sweden” and everything would be fucked again.

in a manner that suggests they never will is a personal opinión. We'll hear new music this year. I'm sure
Re: Slash on new GNR album: "We just haven't really got there yet"
My assumption is Duff really plays the role of Kirk Hammett in this band. Just says positive shit to keep things seemingly positive. I’ll be very curious if their tour sales decrease on this tour. The title of the tour if I read into it still implies an obvious slap in the face to those who want an album. Starting to think Pitman was right. These guys want to play the same 40 year old songs and covers and laugh their way to the bank. It’s got to be brutal for someone like Fortus who probably has so many great songs recorded stuck on hard drives and computers that he’s done with Guns since he joined in July 2002, but they’ve gone unheard and unreleased. Gotta be brutal.
