The Appetite box is their biggest and best opportunity to cash in on their recorded legacy. I expect and hope for a UYI box set in 2021 (or 2022, given the band's penchant for timing) but it won't sell as well.

I hoped we'd see a Chinese Democracy box set this year but with this current project on its way, the likelihood of that happening is lower than ever before.

More than anything, the band needs to record and release new material. Whether that means "Silkworms," "The General," and other tracks Axl has in his pocket, or something new, GNR desperately needs to leverage the attention gained from the tour and box set. People are paying attention, but they won't be forever. I'd hate for the band to fall back on its legacy and ignore its future.

I did NOT recognize Kiedis in that photo. He looks like a third Super Mario Brother.

i'd love to see an Alice Cooper/GNR tour, with Slash making an appearance in A.C.'s set ("School's Out" or "Vengeance is Mine") and then the legend himself showing up for "The Garden." The interplay would be phenomenal.

monkeychow raises some disturbing but undeniable points: While we can be pretty sure that they will all be around in 10 years' time, will they all have the inclination to record and tour, especially in today's difficult environment? Chinese Democracy failed to sell as well as Axl, Best Buy, or even we fans would have hoped. I'm sure he'll continue to create great music, but as we've seen, that doesn't mean we'll ever hear it.

The Not in this Lifetime tour probably gave Axl, Slash, and Duff enough money to live on for the rest of their lives, without even factoring in the royalties they get from the sales and broadcasts of their songs. It presumably also healed a lot of wounds and reaffirmed for them that they can still be a powerhouse rock band, decades after they began. What's next? Another tour in a few years' time?

I know what I want most of all (New music). But I have to wonder if I'll get it.

I'll be the first to admit that Scott disappointed a lot of people but STP without him is a preposterous idea. If the remaining bandmembers want to carry on, they should go back to calling the project Talk Show. Don't call it Stone Temple Pilots.
