Yep. Doesn't sound good.

Lennon... great choice again. I was thinking about him. Great and unique songwriter, great and unique lyricist, heartfelt guitar player with a wicked sound. I love John's guitar playing.

The music world changed more between 1920 and 1965 than between 1965 and 2012. Sure, we have a lot of new formats today our parents and granparents didn't, but a lot of people are still listening 1960s music. Including teens. But in the 60s only a few jazz and blues fans listened that old songs.
I'm unsure what the future brings for GN'R though. 2070 is too far from today. I couldn't name any band or artist who'd be still known then, for sure. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, of course, but Led Zeppelin, Elvis...? I don't know.

Silence followed by another tour(s).

Waiting for James... he'll get Kim Thayil for rhythm guitar if doesn't show up?

Please describe "completed" or "earlier origins".
There's piano and acoustic versions of November Rain from the era before Appetite was recorded. If you say it's only completed after the horns and strings arrangements, perhaps that's the same with all CD era songs and vault, since they're all full of it? We'll never know, to be honest. It was mentioned on interviews that You Could Be Mine was kept for future releases and was ready to AFD.
"Completed" is a term that means different things for you, for me and, surprisingly, even for Axl.
If you want just to bash, it's ok, but don't try to act like you're not being almost irrational on your arguments just to try to prove a point.
And, still, you didn't reply my question.
If you think that NR acoustic demo was anywhere near to a complete song then we don't have the common ground to discuss it. That was a demo. Only a few cords and nothing more. Musicians write a lot of stuff, but most of them are only ideas that need to be worked out. There isn't anything that'd suggest that YCBM was done. In fact, they said that it wasn't done, hence it didn't make the album. Yes, Back Off Bitch was an old song, the original DC and Bad Obsesseion, too. But most of the stuff wasn't older than 3 years. In today's GN'R's case, the fresh songs were written in 2004.

Well, CD was 4(+) years 'fresher' in 2008 than its successor can be if that's old material again. I get your point though. If they wrote an album when Bumble joined, even that would be old material by now.
Did you feel this way about You Could Be Mine, Don't Cry and November Rain, just to name a few, when they were released in 91, given they were written in 85, BEFORE Appetite?
Wrong. Only DC was written in 1985. NR had earlier origins, but it was completed after AFD. YCBM didn't make AFD for the sole reason it wasn't done.
BTW Axl felt that DC was too old and from another life when they worked on it for the UYIs, so he wrote new lyrics which he preferred to the original.
