Chinese Democracy Finally Out - By Accident!
Filed under: Music Minute
Is this a publicity stunt????
NINE tracks from Guns N' Roses' long long long awaited new album, Chinese Democracy, were leaked online Wednesday on a website which quickly received a cease-and-desist letter from the band.
The album is said to be 14 years in the making.
Of the nine songs leaked, six of them have already leaked in one unfinished form or another. But the ones released yesterday seem to be close to the finished versions.
The album was originally on Interscope's release schedule in March 2007.
But later in March of this year, the band signed a new management deal with Irving Azoff and Andy Gould. That's when they began discussions with Interscope to release the album.
Work on the album originally began back in 1994 and since then Axl has spent $13 million in production. And also gotten rid of his orignal band members.
Apparently the soft drink Dr. Pepper, which is tied in with Interscope it seems, even offered to send a free can of soda to every person in America if Chinese Democracy arrived anytime in 2008.
Well, send a can to everyone except Guns N' Roses former members, Slash and Buckethead!

love him!!!! 1st!!!!
second biatches!
SECOND!
I heard some of the tracks too. Not bad really. It's a updated sound for them, but still rocking and rolling. But nothing that makes me want to buy the record.
I don't understand why it took so damn long. Axl is still crazy I guess.
The best memories are the summer of 88 when Appetite for Destruction ruled the world. every party you went to had that album blaring.
Yes I am old! :O
i think he should stay blonde. i didnt recognize him with the short red hair. who knew that was his natural color. fire crotch?
1st!?
um.. does anyone care???
Hey… Buckethead rocks!!!
link to the music please
It's not GUNS N ROSES without SLASH, COME ON!
Re: lanel –
WHAT??! He never was blonde, he's always been a redhead…since way back in the day.
.
You're an idiot.
I have a hunch Axel is going to be hosting a rockstar reality show. Betchya!
Appetite was the best ever! My 6 year old nephew discovered this in his fathers CD stash…the rock and roll face in his car seat is priceless!
Now this is a band that should rightfully be deemed has beens. Fourteen years to put an album together, they deserves no fans just for that.
I love Axl, and yes this album took a freakin long ass time to make…but he's the artist, and I truly believe that he just wanted it to be the best it could be… as for the old members, I WISH that Slash could reunite….atleast Slash! PLEASE
fuck u axl! don't want bullshit anymore…go to hell! slash was gunz..now u r nothin' but a lill' white trashy ass.
Buckethead…lol Didn't u see it coming?
GNR YUP
It's not that bad so far. Updated sound, nowhere near appetite for destruction or use your illusion but still entertaining. I will probably buy this when it comes out. look it up on bit torrent sites. that's how I got it.
Nice freak hair plugs and horrible facelift on ya Axl.
That shit had better be groundbreaking.
Axl Rose looks like a fucking mess. He looks like he's had a botched eyelift.
I LOVE axl rose so much he's so awesome and Guns N' Roses is my favorite band and they're the best, there aint no argument to be made about that.. and so no stupid whiny bitches ask, yes, i do happen to know alot about this band im not just sayin i love them for the hell of it. Just thought I'd throw that in..
Re: *lil – shut the hell up fuck YOU, and why dont YOU go to hell! Axl is NOT a white trashy ass YOU ARE! He fuckin rocks.
Clearly these are demo tracks and not finished work.
i heard the albums suppose to be out on September 1, '08. But who knows with the way its goin'?
Fuck Axl..No one cares anymore, and the band isn't even guns and roses anymore..Slash is G&R!!
-
Axl you suck, Slash Rules.
_
Guns and Roses was cool, no one gives a fuck anymore. And another thing lose those stupid corn rolls
seriosuly……………it's not even guns n' roses so who even cares.
axl is abviously nuts…
Re: Axl B – okay maybe some people DO still give a fuck so stop saying NO ONE, k since when did you become everyone? Sure, GN'R was better with Slash but what the hell do you know, the CD isnt even out yet!
Perez don't even start baggin on Slash he IS GNR. Fuck Axl, he destroyed the greatest thing to ever happen to music. Whatever band Axl is in now is not Guns N Roses. Viva la Slash!!!!!
If no one cares, they why the fuck are you responding to this? Why is it on every major media source? No one needs ignorant ****s like you lowering societies IQ.
Oh fuck does anyone remember when this douche was relevant. This douche is 2 decades removed from reality and it was better when we didn't give a shit about anything he did or had to say. Sweet Child of Mine my dogs hairy nutsack.
Really if "no one cares" or if "no one likes axl and everyone loves slash" than why the fuck are you commenting?! Just ’cause he's better than y'all don't mean ya gotta hate on him! Got 2 simple words for ya than- FUCK, YOU!
seriously, perez hilton could do a month of celebrity gossip on nothing but axl. the weird shit that goes on behind the scene in his life is every bit as fascinating as britney's vagina.
He looks like he's still healing from a face peel.
What's with the crucifix douchebag? Are you a f.a.g.g.o.t christian ninny?
AXL LOOKS FUCKING HOT IN THAT PIC! yummmmm
Wow, I'm really excited to hear the new album, although to me it's not the same Guns N' Roses without Slash. I have to say I'm one of they're biggest fans but I feel like Slash and Axl need to sit down and make nice and get the REAL band back together. Buckethead could never replace Slash, I believe he isn't half the guitar player that Slash is. Viva la Slash!
Its not a Guns & Roses album!!! It a solo project that Axl is putting out..
-
That is like saying a new Beatles record is out but there is no Lennon or McCartney.
-
Axl thought he was hot shit for staying gone so long and now no one gives a shit…Slash needs to start up a new kick ass, because he stays relevant, and he just recently put out a book. I met slash in the valley when he was with his daughter, and the dude is fuckin cool..Axl on the other hand is fuckin gay.
The saddest part of all is that Tim Russert was waiting for this and he's not here to hear it. Why is Axl even going ahead with it now?
Maybe 14 more years will make it sound relevant to 2008. Horrible. The songs sound so dated and weak. Let it go Axl. Your OCD won't make this record any better.
Re: Gigi –
i hope so too..!!
and i cant wait to hear it!!!
it was leaked on antiquiet.com !! Give credit where it's due big boy!
Perez caters to:

people with no lives
mental midgets
mean people
dumb people
bitter people
degenerates
paranoids
morons
racists
bigots
malicious people
depressed people
people with no talent
people with no ambition
people with to much time on their hands
This is fun add your own…………………….
about time, but i want the original band to reunited. They would make millions!
Dogshit. No one fucking cares.
At least he's not fat anymore.
after 13 years and walking away from 2 bands… nobody cares. (or those that do don't matter).
This story is just Axl grease.
Slash still kicks (|) !
Hey did you hear that the Chinese are the new Blacks in South Africa? Congrats!!!
Re: sad – In other words, morons like you.
who cares?!
Kenny Rogers? Is that you?
Re: wynn – "Welcome to the jungle" other vids his hair appeared very blonde and very long. Am I wrong here?? Who knew his hair al la natural was RED
He threw it all away when he broke up the orignal band. Guns will never be the same, I don't think the next generation of music loves will buy their stuff. Sorry axl, you messed things up.
NOte: I don't know about you, but Axl Rose looks like a piece of plastic. Look at his face, it looks…well bad!
ALL members of GNR are very sucessful expect one………….Axel has been sitting on past due music. He reminds me of Howard Hughes. YUCK!
To plagerize Sad's commentary, I add to it at the bottom:

Fucking bad ass spellers.
OLD NEWS, OLD NEWS, OLD NEWS BITCH
Right, this old fart is just what we need… Who will be reanimated next?
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I LOVE AXL AND GUNS!!!! FINALLY! ALèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèè
I'm probably the oldest one here commenting ….what's all this talk about Slash
starting his own band …he has one …Velvet Revolver !
Hes pretty hot for a ginger,
RAWRR,
give me rough sex with him anyday!
where did you find the time to type this?
Maybe Gn'R can revive rock'n roll once again, we need it badly considering the shitty bands that are around these days….
is it still guns n roses without SLASH or just Axel singing in front of some musicians? This album is going to SUCK he is wearing braids in his hair and is forty +.
in true Axl nature, someone must've gotten sued for leaking these demos/songs/whatever!! Unless he did it himself, which wouldn't be a surprise! Read W.A.R. by Mike Wall…Axl is nuts!
GNR, well the original one anyway, is still the best band to me!
Axl ruined what was a good band.
Axl did ruin Guns N' Roses, by being a diva. They could of been huge, like Aerosmith, or Bon Jovi. One of those bands that saw threw the 80s glam and 90s hair metal…but no thanks to Axl… it obviously never happened. Congrats to Slash and other band members who have moved on into other ventures and made it big!
been a fan of GnR since Appetite for Destruction. One of my favourite records still. Heard some of the new tracks when the new GnR had a concert in Norway. I actually think they sounded really good.
What the hell happened to him? If you look at an old photo side by side with this one…you'd think it was two different people!!
DUMB ASS PEREZ> Buckethead isnt even a REAL former member of G&R… SLASH AND DUFF STOOPID. Quit commenting on things u know nothing about.
Isn't that what he should look like ? Axel gained weight and doesn't look like an emaciated junkie anymore.
These tracks are WAY better than anything thats called rock n roll today, WAY better.
me and axl rose share a birthday!! along with bob marley and babe ruth. Just wanted to say that… i am a huge guns n' roses fan! i havent heard these tracks yet and i am not sure how i feel about them yet…axl was HOT circa 1980's. why do people have to get old???
i liked the original line up of GNR Slash is legendary man.I think is Axl was less of an ass to his former band mates maybe the record would have been out a long time ago.
Actually buckethead is not an ORIGINAL member. Axle has gone through several different members before now. He's a perfectionist.
After all this time, I feel everyone is really over G n R. You've missed the boat Axl! Electronic music is currently where it's at! Hard rock + metal = snore!
dude how do i meet axl rose>?????
axl is the best!!!!
yikes he does not look good
LOVE HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM SO MUCH ♥
i don't fcking get it. AXL GO BACK TO YOUR ORIGINALS ; SLASH IZZY DUFF & STEVEN . & get rid off those madusa things eating your hair . When that all happenS ; everyone is going streaking & there will be world peace . so hurry it . besidEs i dont get why he'S even fueding w| them.
