I don't care for Bumble's solo work.
If it were instrumental, I could maybe get into it, but his voice just is grating.
This said, Zombie makes good points. We don't know if Axl could've pushed him. Waste.
He was a real one in GNR with an eye for the fans and tip of the hat to him for that.

Have Ron and Bumble ever been seen in the same room together?

It's not the best since 1993 in my book. By far, really.
It merely has Slash.
The fact this alone compels so many not to mention the idea of the blue haired keyboardist as some sort of paragon or marketing masterstroke because she is a woman and speaks Millenialese is deeply troubling.
But 2016 had some nice moments of Axl and Slash working hard to keep each other honest.

Do we know that for sure? Dj and Richard made several noises about working on stuff in that period.
We don't know.
Tommy mentioned 22 songs in 2011.
CD had 14 so 14+22 = 36 songs. Axl said they were working on 32 songs in 2006 so that means they wrote/finished 4 songs between 2006 and 2011. At that pace, they added 2-3 songs on top of that between 2012-2014. Pure speculation and guess work, of course.

I read a rumor a few months ago that Seven is an industrial ballad.
Q: [...] I am very excited about Seven. Can you tell us anything about this song? Is it a rocker?
A: ITS AN TIMELESS BALLAD WITH A BLOW YOUR FACE OFF CHORUS AND A SUCK YOUR BALL SACK BRIDGE!!!!! (Brain Mantia, Appetite for Discussion, Aug. 18, 2010)
Who knows, though.
I've always wondered if it was influenced by David Fincher's Se7en.
I just want to someday listen to the rest of the material Buckethead recorded during his time in the band, since nothing else was recorded from 2009 to 2014.
Me too, friend. Me too.
It'd be kind of funny / sad if it were just a stockpile of solos and crack spackle riffs.
I want to hear Axl talk about 1994 in depth because that is when the CD saga really began. It just didn't have a name yet.
I dunno, this seems a stretch.
I'd label 95-97 the warring states period preceding the Chinese Democracy myself.
If I'm betting, I'd place my chips on the songs coming before the Chinese Democracy ironic metaphor and Axl fitting them into that vision.
He expressed interest doing an AFD 2.0 record and then lost Slash and probably was like, eh fuck it then.

GN'R is two parts rock band, one part pop band.
TSI was a miscalculation because it really serves neither. Lies served both and moved them forward.
They had peaked. Nothing was ever going to bring back their peak. It was adapt or die time.
I want to hear Axl talk about CD in depth because the Loder interview is with a lucid guy who perfectly elucidated the problem.

Ok I got my foam finger.
Go get em Axl. We’re in your corner.

Velvet also hit at a time of peak 80s nostalgia.
The alt rock bands were a palate cleanser from the pop craze and new metal goth rock thing. The table was perfectly set.
#340 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Robin Finck video interview » 388 weeks ago
Yeah, he does.
In a perfect world, Axl'd retire GN'R and Trent would retire NIN. Two bands very long in the tooth.
Or Robin can join some other rock outfit, that's cool too.
