I don't think this is a reputable news source, they seem to pick up and parrot every rumor from everywhere.

Mark Strigl from Talking Metal is a reputable source.

Listen to the program yourself at the link.  They start to talk about GN'R around 46:15, the quote below is at 51:30.

?The other thing that I found interesting recently was that recently, DJ is out, we don?t really seem to know the status of a lot of the other guys. I will tell you that I do correspond with one of the other members from time to time, and he told me in early July: ?Hey I?m going to have a big announcement and,? he didn?t say that, he said: ?I?m going to have something to talk about in mid-August.? This is exactly what he said, ?Let?s do an interview in mid-August, cool?? I was like absolutely, because I had reached out to him in early July, and he had said: ?I don?t want to do it now, but I?m going to have something to talk about in mid August.? (Sighs) I?ve since reached back out to him, at one point, I think it was early August, he said hit me back in two weeks, which I did, and I?ve been hitting him back every week since then, and crickets, no response to the e-mail.?

I?m afraid it only tell us that the person in question didn?t do an interview he had promised. I wouldn?t speculate beyond that

According to who, exactly is this Strigl guy a reputable source? Isn't this just another podcast?

Really tired of the rampant speculation, I'll wait for real news.

You are right

It's really hard to read anything into this

Is the whole premise of someone else is out based on Mark not receiving an email back about doing an interview?  That's flimsy evidence, at best, and inferring quite a bit.

Something is going on, that's hard to deny.

True.

Why is the assumption that it's Richard or Chris?  He could be talking about Tommy, right?

I would think that's likely considering we have heard nothing about Richard jumping ship and Chris was watching airplanes with Axl fly over his house!

[FunkyMonkey]

Why is the assumption that it's Richard or Chris?  He could be talking about Tommy, right?

Yeah, I'm not sure why the article says Pitman or Fortus.  Mark Strigl talks about DJ and Ron, it's not them.  They comment that Dizzy and Frank seem to be going out of their way to confirm they are still in the band.  So that leaves Chris, Richard or Tommy.

Process of elimination.

Nice picture, but again how does that prove Strigl is credible ?
I don't see Jarmo vouching for him here.

[jarmo]

John and Mark are GN'R fans who've been doing the Talking Metal podcast for a decade now. I'm not gonna question their credibility.

As far as I can tell, this thread is somebody jumping to conclusions based on Mark saying somebody told him there'd be news in August.
He didn't say what kind of news.

Thank you for the clarification

I don't think this alternatemetal.net site does anything besides post clickbait, sort of a lowbrow blabbermouth.

When Jarmo appeared on the Talking Metal Podcast it was reported on Blabbermouth.net.  And it was pretty cool at the time.

I just read that Fortus said in his FB he is NOT out

My question is why Tommy lie when he said "we all left in Vegas" ?

Slash, the hack and demon from the pit, made Tommy say it.

Because nobody knows whats going on and talk out of their asses.
Usually in a band people know whats going on and make decisions together instead of being told what to do
