If you're going to delay it, which you're going to do because you're a dellusional corporate who hates life, at least come up with a valid excuse. A technical issue with the distribution partners is an AWS/Cloudflare/internet issue, resolved within hours at most. If you're going to delay it for days or weeks as they inevitably are if we don't get it today, at least give a proper reason. "The artist pulled it" or "There are legal issues relating to rights to the songs" whatever the actual reason is.

Pissing off the people you rely on to rinse millions from the never ending nostalgia tour isn't a great marketing plan.

It'll be Matt won't it? I seem to remember posted a few references to Guns 2025 late last year on his social media.

I think we're past that point. Axl, as with the last 25 years, is either so badly off with his mental health or simply motivation, that he is unable to work for years on end. That is broken either by a brief relapse or a sharp instruction from his advisors that he needs more money. The thought of him going into a studio and working on an album like a normal person these days just seems impossible. Some late night sessions spread over several years? Possibly.

The 'we're trying to work on a new album' bit from Slash likely means they've asked him to do it and he's asked them to send over their ideas so he can listen to them when he next has a spike in his motivation, which could be next week, but could also be the next decade. I can't imagine Slash and Duff working on an album the same way the Chinese Democracy band did.

Good stuff. We might hear it when it leaks in 2047, before them playing it on the 'Shanghai Sunset' farewell tour's 294th leg.

It's going to be a hybrid of live footage and the low quality cartoon. Yay. At least that explains why they played it live, so they can get some footage of the band and Axl performing it for the video. I'd love to know if Axl still thinks it's the 80s and he's putting this video out so it can be on Dial MTV.
