I find it interesting it’s not in support of a new album. Maybe his studio time was spent doing Guns… though I guess they may not be mutually exclusive.
Slash has already recorded a new solo album with guest singers (he has announced that it's coming out in 2024) and probably plans to tour in support of it after the SMKC tour.

Most band members are capable of working on both GN'R and side/solo projects. Slash and Duff don't put too much thought into it. They write the songs, record them, release them. Duff said he wrote about 60 solo songs during Covid.
Duff doesn't get to choose the article headline.
Sure, but like I said, he has done a bunch of other interviews and in none of them has he talked about GN'R. I think it's as simple that he was asked in this interview and and replied like this - maybe the actual question was as vague as the answer.

Also anyone heard updates about this Schenker album that both Axl and Slash are supposed to be on?
No updates, except that if we believe Eddie Trunk, the track Axl recorded on is a cover.

The a-word is back in GN'R members' interviews. Duff promises an album:
The rockers have been on tour virtually full-time since they reformed seven years ago. They’ve released just two new songs, Hard Skool and Perhaps, but McKagan reassures fans a new album will happen eventually, promising: “Don’t worry, we’ve got this.”

Yes, the change of venue in Phoenix doesn't have to do with low ticket sales or anything like that. It's just that the team that uses Chase Field has unexpectedly made the playoffs and their third game is on the same date as the GN'R show.
So the options for GN'R/LN were to reschedule it on a later date at the same venue (probably logistically difficult or impossible), cancel it altogether or move it to another venue.

New Tommy Stinson interview (he has said this before):
When talk turns to the atmosphere around the band around the 2008 release of Chinese Democracy, which emerged some 17 years on from the band's last original albums, 1991's Use Your Illusion I and II, Stinson tells Stocks that he looks on the period fondly, describing it as "a crazy, beautiful mess."
"That Jimmy Iovine pulled that record out of Axl's hands at the fucking 11.30th hour is the only disappointing part of that," he adds. "I don't know if it would have changed anything about the public's view of it, the only thing it would have changed was Axl's view of it. He was this close to being able to sign off on that fucking thing, and they pulled it just before he was completely ready to be going 'I'm done with it', it was just a little too quick on that. That's unfortunate. But all things considered, we made a great record."

The 7" includes another unreleased track on the B-side, The General, available only in this physical product and which will never be released digitally.
Looks like I'll be downloading a copy for myself
The information about no digital release has been removed now:

That was the only international Universal online store that had that bit anyway.

He has released three GN'R books: one back in 1991 (which just had extended versions of his interviews with band members), a shitty Axl "biography" titled "W.A.R." in 2007 (maybe that's the one you have read?) and another one in 2016/17 titled "The Last Of The Giants", in which he reiterates a lot of the same stuff from the Axl "biography" but there's some additional stuff in it, mainly the quotes from Niven and Goldstein.
It was that one yes, i just found it on my shelf oddly sat next to a copy of Catcher In The Rye that I forgot I owned. As bad as some of the Mick Wall stuff is at least he is a better writer than Del, Now there's a book I struggled to get through
I have only read Del's "Without You" story (or rather I have tried to get through it and it was a drag). Different genres, though. Del wrote fiction, whereas Mick Wall is supposed to write about real life events.

Yeah, his 2007 Axl biography was garbage. His latest one from 2017 has a lot of that same crap, but there is some interesting stuff in the original interviews with Niven and Goldstein (those two definitely didn't do themselves any favours with the stuff they said in there, lol).
