"There's newer stuff as well"

Dizzy saying what others have said. There goes that old "they haven't done anything since 2006" theory...

no real hard hitting questions about the "future" just stuff we already know

plus - with reunion questions nothing new and Dizzy sort of dodged it with Duff and Izzy.

still cool to see the Diz Man out there though

'Newer Stuff' - guess that will throw a wrench in a few people's preferred narratives

To be fair I don't think anyone ever said there wasn't 'newer' stuff, just that there has never been any information on when it might see the light of day.  What I would have asked as a follow up is 'ok so there is newer stuff, but has Axl actively worked on any of this newer stuff?'  No offense to the guys in the current band, but I want to hear what Axl has done with the songs not them.

Cool vid, I wish he could say more in detail, but good nonetheless.

You are correct in there hasn't been any announcement on a new release-- yet.

I don't see how your inquiry could effectively be answered without going into specifics, which he may have preferred not to mention at this time.

What I am saying is I really don't care if the new guys have been working on their own songs for GNR.  For example when DJ said that he had some songs he was saving for GNR I didn't even blink.  I want to know if Axl has given any creative output.  Frank and Richard can write all the songs they want, but until Axl gets involved I am not even the least bit interested.  I would never buy an album from the GNR of today minus Axl.

Your loss, the guys are great songwriters. Their solo albums are better than anything the other ex-guns members have done since they left the band.

I think this is fair.

At the end of the day, where did any of that happy talk from DJ lead?  To him right out of the band.

Perhaps.

But its Axl Rose that is keeping most of us in this game.  Not the songwriting prowess of DJ or Richard.

Sucks for you as well then. 

[FunkyMonkey]

Is there a timeline for a new Guns N' Roses album?

With GN'R timelines really don't apply.

We're looking at next year, hopefully. There's nothing definite that I can report at this time.

There are reports of hundreds of GN'R songs in various stages of composition. Is there anything you can tell us about the direction of that music?

All the stuff on Chinese Democracy, when that was recorded an created.  It's all from that same period of time. Um, and there's newer stuff as well.

Haha don't worry my friend I am alright with my decision.  I am not pooing on anything they do, but by no means do I get excited hearing about what the rest of the band is doing creatively.  Axl Rose is the sole reason I am still following what is called Guns N' Roses today and I suspect that for 99.9% of those who attend shows and bought CD it is the same reason. 

So to tie it back to the interview and what Jarmo and Emily said, I am not interested in 'newer stuff' if Axl Rose has not gotten involved yet.

Could this exact snippet be found in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014?

Shit, you might even be able to find Dizzy actually being the one saying it.

If there is anything to glean from this, and there ain't much, I don't think it bodes well for the miracle reunion.

So he is basically saying nothing

We have a winner!!!!

"Newer stuff" sounds good. I do believe they have been working on some stuff from time to time since 2008, but truth is we haven't heard anything except for some leaks.

"Going Down" is on my playlist, I really like that stuff, hopefully we can hear more soon!

[Bridge]

If you go back in time and read Dizzy's statements/comments/etc, you'll see that Dizzy has never been a source of any concrete information.  He more or less just satiates people who just want to hear someone from GNR talk.

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

I know that.
