I saw the other post, but Ben Hur was actually filmed at Circus Maximus in Rome. I don't know if that is another angle (wrt the track "Seven"). Chariot races typically took place over seven laps, Rome is built on seven hills and had seven kings.

I'll get this started now. I'd expect more to start appearing after late November if they are following the prescribed timeline---

Dropped off by GnR producer Caram Costanzo himself the amp needs to be serviced and tuned up to sound stellar for this Saturday’s recording of new material at Axl Rose’s studio in Malibu.

May 2019 - Slash reaffirms work is ongoing

June 2019 - Duff has lots of songs for new GN'R album
As for new GNR music, for which there is always an interest in, McKagan says it’s happening. “There’s a lot of songs bouncing around, I’ll tell you that. These 11 songs that are on this record were in a group of, I’m not even kidding you, like 70 that I wrote. Axl has some really kick but stuff that he had coming into it. We’ve never been at a loss for material. So the next step on that, as far as just everything Guns N’ Roses goes, I’ll just say we’re in a really positive place.”

Conclusion
Recording started in earnest after August 2018, the band were on a break until November and has been ongoing throughout 2019. Slash and Duff have written songs for the album, potentially. The album should be out by March next year. Hard School is the first song confirmed for the album. The band are touring South America starting late March, six countries have so far been mentioned in various places.
#273 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Best of Rough Mixes Disc 1, Elimination Series Round 1 » 310 weeks ago
I voted for Silkworms. I do like the track, but it'd be better for an Axl Rose solo project
#274 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who leaked these songs and why? » 310 weeks ago
I think the silence is a good thing. I am maybe delusional, haha, but if the band do have this six month timeframe for a new album, it's better to keep the leaks contained to a few people and let the press concentrate on the new album when the ball starts rolling. I am hoping the band premiere Hard School at the LV concerts which always stood out, to me at least, as 'different' to the other tour dates on the current run.
In my head, the next phase for the band is as big as their Coachella debut and I'd rather see the general public getting excited about that rather than these leaks

Me neither but I agree dragging this out is no good.
Yeah listen , I in know way would want anyone to get in trouble legally if that’s what people are driving at
Was merely interested in theories regarding the GnR camps involvement or not etc
Same here. I had just assumed people had guessed who it was. Nevermind though.
I don't think the band are behind it, it's too random. They appear to have managed the leaks well, and I think there is some positives to take from the whole saga. They get some feedback on the tracks and we can see the hard work Axl put into the album and how unfairly treated he was by the record label.
#276 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who leaked these songs and why? » 310 weeks ago
I would like to think most people know who the leaker is, and I think it would be better to put this to bed sooner rather than later so everyone can move forward. JMO
#277 Re: Guns N' Roses » Extremely Dubious Fernando Reddit Account, Might Actually be Fernando » 310 weeks ago
I think he was giving the fans an unofficial update. If he legitimizes the account then it legitimizes the information, which is not what he is wanting.

So which instrumental is it?
I asked on the forum, the guy said "That one (version of Cuban Skies) he showed me the intro which was Spanish guitar acoustic vibe"
sounds like If The World! Is he sure it's a different track? Maybe Cuban Skies was a working title at the time they abandoned again?
I thought that as well 
I've asked on the forum, so we'll find out. If nothing else, it adds a bit more information about the song. It's always good to get a second mention of a song. It adds some verification to the CDII tracklist from ages ago, as we have had second mentions of Tonto and now this. All good.

That's very interesting. Cuban Skies dates back to at the very latest 2003 and likely around the time of these sessions.

#280 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tracks missing from the leaked CD's » 310 weeks ago
No idea. It sounds like a song that Axl was belatedly proud of to be showing it off
