I think axl will continue to tour every year with this band, it seems to finally have the consistency needed to keep the thing rolling. hopefully brain will have been the last departure for the next while. I would love to see him back, but this band seems to mesh perfectly. Finck, Fortus and stinson are solid and dont seem to be going anywhere and we all know how appreciative Ron and Frank are to be in the band. I see know reason for them not to tour every year if they keep filling up shows.
The problem is that Usa's music culture is so fucked right now, the people who do care are the die hards, the people who did care need an album before they see em again, and the rest of the people dont know what good music is(as far as the u.s. goes). But Europe and South America are still viable options for the band to tour with no album, whether we like it or not, they will sell out those contenents.
