Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" In February?
Band Photo: Guns N Roses (?)
Guns N' Roses are set to release their long awaited Chinese Democracy album on February 12, 2008 - at least so says online retailer www.amazon.co.uk.
According to the site, you will be able to purchase the album for a reasonable £8.98. Hmm.
We'll see.

The fact that the damn thing is titled "Chinese Democracy" is proof that he never really intended to release another album under the Guns and Roses name.All this is doing is feeding his gigantic ego by telling himself that still after all these years people still think he is relevant to the music world.

Hahahahahahaha, stop it Godlike, I just soiled myself laughing to much. Hey ! Maybe this album is paid for by China and it is propaganda to make us believe that China is a democracy. Holy sh** ! That means Axl is a f***ing communist. Pfffffff hahahahahahaha !!!

In response to #23, Head is actually King's step-brother, who decided his name was enough to score a record deal, even though musically it stinks. Further, they'll be auditioning fans to send in their solos, since Head is such a lazy bastard and so musically untalented that they couldn't do much worse...
haahaha

Jomama, lulz!!!
godlike, thats one thing I like about this site. The tradition of it really, the April Fool's Day articles...If I remember right, the articles were something about My Chemical Romance being added to Ozzfest, and Tom Araya forming a Christian Metal band...And then the year before that, I was so p***ed about this article about MU only covering Nu Metal, then I laughed my a$$ off when I found out it was a joke...

The release of Chinese Democracy, maybe something to lol about but what makes me lmao is folks like you saying Axl is a b**** and GnR is dead while you sit in your homes writing post's about it your allowing it to live and have something to live for..think about it this whole page dedicated to the dead....you guys are funny....Really if you hate it, let it go or do like the rest of us and wait and listen to crappy corporate created music until a very anticipated and maybe great album is released....Jaywho

U know, better for me if no one bought chinese democracy, i can see one of ther greatest frontmen in rock up close and personal at a club instead of 20 feet away at an arena and get 2 hours of hit after hit while the rest of you guys go to a metal festival to actually get some quality music in a nnight from a bunch of bands.

Y'know, Axl's gonna be real p***ed because when he finally releases this thing, everyone will have grown SO tired of hearing about it, that nobody's gonna trust it enough NOT to steal it! Maybe if he'd released the damn thing thirty years ago, like he had originally planned, before P2P on the interweb, he might have sold a few copies. Viva la Bittorrent!

there will never be a reunion and axl is a jacka** and will not release the stupid album cause hes gay!
By Molly Brown
NEW YORK (Billboard) - He was the chain-smoking, Jack Daniels-drinking guitarist for one of the most explosive bands in history. But in his memoir "Slash," out October 30 via HarperEntertainment, the former Guns N' Roses member wants to set the record straight.
Fans can take note: riots, overdoses and controversies all make appearances. There are also surprises, from how Saul Hudson was dubbed Slash, to what it was like living with mercurial singer Axl Rose in their rehearsal space.
Just don't bother asking Slash, now sober and playing guitar in Velvet Revolver, if the original Guns will get back together, because he insists it won't happen. Ever.
BILLBOARD: IN THE BOOK, YOU MENTION THAT YOU FELT ROCK BIOGRAPHIES WERE "INACCURATE AND FULL OF S---." HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT SETTING THE TONE TO AVOID THIS?
SLASH: I've been approached about doing a book for probably all the wrong reasons so many times, I couldn't validate it in my own mind. For one, it seemed very self-indulgent, very self-centered and very final -- and I have no plans of retiring. Finally, I started to realize all this Guns hype that goes on, all this bull--- that surrounds that band, it's inaccurate, and most isn't even inaccurate, it's just made up. I got fed up with it. (The book will) answer a lot of these questions. I just figured, "Be as honest as possible."
BILLBOARD: DRUGS AND DRINKING ARE A BIG PART OF THE STORY. HOW DID IT FEEL TO SEE THIS DOWN ON PAPER?
SLASH: A lot of that stuff I came back and cut out because I didn't want it to be one of those books that basically bragged about how hardcore (we were), blah, blah, blah. Especially nowadays, (because) a lot of musicians and rock bands have this badge they wear that says that they can party really hard, and I hate that. But I probably talk more about that than I actually talk about music. The music was sort of a natural thing you don't have to talk about, but chemical abuse was sort of every living, breathing moment.
BILLBOARD: A HUGE PART OF THE BOOK IS GUNS AS YOU'RE TOURING AND THE TARDINESS OF AXL ROSE. WAS THERE EVER ANY EXPLANATION OF WHAT WAS BEHIND THAT?
SLASH: There's no mention of that in the book at all because it's not my place. In other words, if there was some sort of history that was common knowledge, it would be different. Because there was no real logic behind any of it, the only thing I could do was sort of put the facts there the way I saw it. There could be a lot of stuff that I don't know about that goes on even behind the scenes, behind the scenes, behind the scenes.
BILLBOARD: THERE'S TWO YEARS OF FOOTAGE FROM THE "USE YOUR ILLUSION" TOUR. ANY CHANCE A FILM WILL BE MADE?
SLASH: I know right now there's no rhyme or reason behind the business really that is the Guns N' Roses original lineup or as close to the original lineup as we ended up with. All that stuff is in such a topsy-turvy state, and there's really no relationship -- a healthy, positive relationship, at least -- between myself and Axl. (So) I really don't have any idea as to how any of that stuff will see the light of day. The situation will hopefully be rectified at one point

All these negative posts are from people who are frustrated that they have never got to hear the album, and secretly miss the majesty of Guns N Roses. Their frustration is boiling over and due to their inbred hick lifestlyes, the only way they can express their feelings is to make peurile remarks about Axl's sexuality.
Everyone who has posted on here wants to hear the record, or they would not have taken the trouble to find this article, read it, then post their views.

47 - Give it up. If you can't even spell "Appetite," don't try to wow us with your coolness and theoretically vague Kiss references... You did know that was Kiss, right? Everyone's had these bootlegs and no one's socks are being figuratively rocked. He's gonna need to step it up to impress me. I'll buy the album regardless of how bad it is, but like 49, I expect to be disappointed.
48 - "Majesty of Guns 'N Roses..." is debatable. When I think of majesty, I think of Dimmu or Sacramentum, epic black metal bands. Axl Rose and crew fall into "butt rock" that we all like but don't feel a need to defend, since he's obviously not all that concerned about fan satisfaction... Speaking of fans... "Inbred hick lifestyles" are the core of the Guns 'N Roses fanbase these days. No one's arguing the impact their music had, or whether or not it was any good, back in the 80's. The problem is that this album has been a "work in progress" for what, 15 years? Defend someone who gives a s**t.
50 - you're an idiot.

51.. Am so sorry that i cant type as fine as u and that i dont run a spell check after i have writtin my post... Dont even go there with kiss i would piss on ur fire when it come to them as regards to being disappointed i think u must have had your 50 cent album in the cd player again and forgot to take it out and replace it with GnR... Better is one of the best songs new or old GnR has ever done and i think that this album will come out and i hope and pray to the god of thunder and rock n roll( C what i did there that was for you) that it changes music and blows all the inbred hillbilly bullsh**iers like you out of the water.... Oh your not deaf are sorry if u are?

Can't type as fine as me? You don't even try, idiot. For the record, I turn spell check off - it doesn't catch the words I have a propensity for misspelling. Please, take your mullet and your anticipation and take it to VH1, where they love washed-up c**k-rock prima donnas. I'm sure there will be a big release party at the TRL clubhouse, why don't you see if they'll have you there?

lol u child how on earth can you stand there and dictate your mindless bullsh** when u have no idea what the hell your talking about . You must be a emo oh sorry your just different and cant take the world anymore. Dude take your crap music and self harm dude and leave rock n roll alone.

Wow, there a lot of negative energy. i think that we souldnt argue, to be honest i think axl deserves it by saying he'l release it here and there, but why couldnt he do what the eagles did with there album, people are then not fustrarted but eger for the release date.
but i do like whats being releases and maybe its worth the wait (doubt it) but we will have to wait to see if its realeased first.

Back then in the 80's, Metallica and Guns N Roses were the top bands then. Metallica has changed metal during the 80's, they were the greatest thrash/heavy metal band at that time and they still are.
Guns N Roses and Metallica was like war between fan's interests, those were 2 bands were on the top charts then.
GUNS N ROSES kick soo much ass
Metallica rules heavy thrash metal ever.

Everyone settle down.
First of all, GNR will never release this album.
Second of all, even if they DO release it, which they won't, it'll hardly be worth sitting your drink on.
I wanna hear it in the same way that everyone stares at a really bad car crash, or someone puking. You know you'll probably be grossed out and disturbed forever, but you just HAVE to see it. And really, who doesn't want to hear an album that's been brewing for so many years? If it's sweet, which it's supposed to be, then we all get what we're waiting for, including Axl Rose. If it blows, which it will, everyone gets to say "I told you so".
62. writes:
Axl says he needs time and that he is a perfectionist. Until he feels like it is 100% ready he won't release it. How can anyone defend this crap??? It took the Beatles and Led Zeppelin less time to record ALL of their albums. It just proves that he wasn't Guns and Roses and thant he has very little talent. He knows that this will be a flop and he is too scared to release it. If it never comes out his "fans" will still think he is the greatest, but if it comes out and it's a flop he knows his career will be over!
64. writes:
The band was not drove into the ground but merely controlled (ok thats not good either) but there is good music throught the bands history, i think you better listen before you comment, basically know what the hell your on about.
GNR's album will be out and will be good (not like appitite) but good.

The only reason I don't really attack this is because it's pointless to even entertain the whole Axl thing anymore.Fact:Every year Axl gives a release date that never comes to pass.Fact: every year the new GnR fan's lose their friggin mind's over it.Fact:The only reason Axl & his coverband toured at all in recent years is because the record exec's who have been sinking their money into this 15yr project (with no result's)wanted their money back.
The disc will in all likelyhood not be released in February but he will go on tour againe & basically restart this vicious cycle that the newbies have not caught on to yet.Sad but true.If it's released .....Yeah I'll get it.I may even go to a show or two.But I'm not holding my breath.Axl if your reading this Put up or shut up time came and whent when VELVET REVOLVER became a reality.As far as I'm concerned your on borrowed time.

Hey, if you haven't noticed, there's this neat little "ip logged" button that shows what posts came from what ip and since someone can't figure this out, I'll let you in on a little secret: I don't use a period at the end of my s/n and I really feel that imitation is the nicest form of flattery, albeit a tad annoying, so whoever wrote those posts, leave me a nice message, and maybe you can come to my house and watch your mom suck my c***, you sad little reject.
How exhilarating it feels to finally be one of the few that get imitators!
