I think the fact we already got 2 songs is a major point to consider. In the CD era it was all talk with nothing ever to show for it. This time they said they were going to release some stuff and fairly promptly did so. With songs already completed and ready to go, why should he refuse to release them? He must have known Silk Worms reworked would never become a big hit with the fanbase, but he did it anyway, so I doubt it has anything to do with the reception. But probably they were dissatisfied with the financial returns on the first GN'R songs with "the old lineup" in 30 years hitting the market. There must be something more to gain from that right?

If something happens this summer it will be something more substantial than a pair of songs, and with a significant promotional push. I see all the remaining CD songs being packaged, and to make it a full dish maybe a couple of new ones as well.

I would make a law where bands aren't allowed to tour after 45 years of age. If a fireman becomes a liabiity and has to retire at 58, why is Axl allowed to perform as an alley cat? When you charge money for something you can't deliver, that is called fraud. At the very least there should be a disclaimer. "Product is past its sell date", "Some people may experience sinus irritation".

Also, if there isn't a new album out, every tour has to be named "Cash Grab Tour (insert band)".

It would have been so easy to fix this. Give Izzy a respectable cut and he will come. Probably not for many shows, but he will come. And when he inevitably decides to flake, you got Richard waiting to take it over.

This was all down to lack of will on Axl, Slash and Duff's part. Greed has blinded them completely. They're raking in hundres of millions and they can barely be assed to pay for Adler's plane ticket. Just shameful.

This is a bootleg somebody sat on for 50 years? Guess they're looking to cash in.
