Yeah this was announced a year ago and it's been dug up because obviously that date is looming, who knows what's happening with it though.

Go on then, I can't do any worse than last time

I've always viewed it slightly differently, whilst I do think it's about feeling isolated and alone I've never thought it was specific to how he feels about the old band. I've always thought it's more about how Axl views the state of the world, he sees the way the human race behaves towards each other and the planet and it disillusions him. He doesn't want to be classed or grouped in this generation or era of humanity, this leaves him feeling very isolated alone and perhaps misunderstood in a world he sees tearing itself apart. However I think he's also saying it's not too late, things might be fucked up now but we can save it for the next generation.

That's my interpretation anyway, although I can see why people think it might be about the old band also.
