Chinese Democracy Finally Out - By Accident!

Filed under: Music Minute

awenn821141.jpg

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!

    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

    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!

  13. 13

    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

    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.

    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.

  33. trav says – reply to this
    33

    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!

  34. madag says – reply to this

    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.

    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!

  39. what says – reply to this
    39

    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? :(

  41. Axl G says – reply to this
    41

    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.

    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!

    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.

  67. 67

    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!!

  74. Catie says – reply to this

    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!
