And the status of guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, who said in February that he was in a "very awkward position" with reference to Guns N' Roses, has still not been confirmed.

Fortus tells Rock.About.com: "The current status is pretty up in the air. The last I heard, they wanted to finish up the recordings and put them out next year and start touring. But it's been a while since I've heard from anybody in that camp - management or Axl. So I really don't know."
