Rick Rubin producing a (self-titled) Guns album, then?
Sounds like a reasonable guess, but I won't hold my breath.
Next Lifetime starts now!

so no, this can't really be compared to Metallica or any other band.
It can be in the context of big band touring and the circus that goes into it.
As for album releases, it's different story. Imagine Hetfield signing it off after Black album, only to come back with Death Magnetic.

Was so from the get go.
It's their last shot for big bucks. Slash has been pouring money hand over fist on his divorce. Axl's mortgage is likely paid up by now, but Guns co. have been undercapitalized in the past years. Duff, with his business acumen, is having a laugh.
They've likely turned profit a while ago, but then again, will they ever get another shot at this? As long as the demand is there, booking new legs is convenient. I bet it's moreso than winding down, packing everything up and letting the crew go.
I recall Hetfield breached the same topic with 'Tallica some time ago. It's like the war machine of a miltary-industrial complex, once you set it on, it'll stay on and go through a certain set of motions before eventually grinding to a halt.

What if Slash is laying down riffs and ideas. Let’s say they are to present to Axl and should Axl decline, he just uses them with Myles. Slash is going to record REGARDLESS!!!
That worked particularly well with Snakepit.

Happy band, look at Axl at the very end.
Goes to show how high-maintenance Axl is. All's good if he gets his way on the broad strokes and S&D are around to lead the band around him. That's the narrow margin in which he excels.

it's crazy to think that axl had a stack of madagascar demos with labels like "madagascar version #53 (w/ extended outro feedback)."
I know 
People have compared it to the Library of Congress, but I've been told the vault in reality is in a storage facility; a single room, with a computer, and stacked with discs.
Also, there is the quality of the rips: I never understood why IRS, TWAT, Catcher and Checkmate all sounded like it was ripped from an analog cassete player.
Good point and Occam's razor says they were. For instance, Axl went to Vegas in 2003 and some songs got ripped because he obliged his disc to the venue PA. They could've recorded the songs on tape as they were playing. It's a smooth way to do it, just keep a game face with Axl.
the guy spent the prime of his career re-doing guitar and bass tracks, yet only re-recorded vocals a few times throughout the process of making the album.
I'm guessing, but roughly 35 individual songs. Three albums worth, with two pending. You could say he has the UYI of the CD era readied.
I hear what you're saying, tho. I would've encouraged Axl to do a few covers on Elton John or whatnot, when suitable opportunities come around. He could've tried out the new production techniques and would've gained new audiences. Some people would've reconsidered his artistic ability. Greatest Hits? Jump in, the label will put it out, anyway. One rocker, like Better. Consolidate your studio success.
That way, the album would have better traction when it would land. You need your pre-season.
for a perfectionist, he sure seemed to ignore his own work a majority of the time.
It has a lot to do with feeling. Axl felt the '99 vocals were untouchable. Recording them was likely a task for him. There'd been a long pause in writing lyrics and singing altogether. The last original song he'd developed had been TIL in '93.
in any case, hearing new shit is always great. as far as cd 2001 era shit goes, i'd LOVE to hear the blues, chinese democracy and this i love, if the latter 2 are even out there.
They will come out eventually. The NITL era will quite likely see an Axl/DC album, which should be great. It would solidify Axl's frontman legacy and spur him onwards and upwards. The guy's 55, and suddenly he's fronting two big rock bands.
Axl saw the light and was given his career back, with more good things than what he bargained for. Furthermore, I'm glad Slash came in before Angus. Imagine DJ and Angus sharing a stage

Those leaks are bullshit.
No. Those are leaks.
Madagascar is not a leak. It's a demo of a song everyone already has. Hence why nobody cares to horde it.
A Private Eye wrote:Not really leaks though are they. A song nobody is listening to because they don’t have it isn’t a leak.
Rather they are not listening because they are shit
Keep crying about it though, I'm sure that will change people's minds
In regards to Atlas/Silk Worms/General (part) having leaked or being any good?
If a song leaks to a small circle of people, it's a leak for them. If it leaks into public forums, it's a leak for all.
Some people may have them for all I care. That hardly makes them any more interesting to talk about.
Maddy is out and we can have a laugh by studying it a bit. That's more than what can be said about the others.

Roy Thomas Baker gets a lot of shit around here but his work is the only time the project reached a professional level of quality. If you compare any of these early leaks to Oh My God, they seem rough, patchwork, and amateurish. The Piazza leaks were certainly what you'd come to expect.
OMG was mixed and mastered on Beavan's watch. He was certainly a capable enough producer to sew things up. And RTB was likely equally marooned before Tom Zutaut came aboard in 2001.
The 'new' songs Tommy talked about could've been stuff like Better. Definite Bucket/Brain -era, without as much as a whiff of Paul Tobias.
