The GUNS N' ROSES Newswire reports:

Universal Music are re-releasing Guns N' Roses' classic debut album Appetite For Destruction on vinyl. The LP is due on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 and the cover features the controversial original artwork by Robert Williams.

Go to CD Universe to place your order today and be one of the first to receive this product when it arrives.

Product Description:

Already a legend in its own meagre lifetime, this startling debut shrouded itself in controversy, from its original Robert Williams artwork to Axl Rose's unblinking accounts of LA's underbelly. This mawkish storytelling, combined with a brattish collective swagger and a surprisingly mature approach to their songs, guaranteed Guns N' Roses a speedy notoriety that was to serve their legend brilliantly. From the laconic 'Paradise City' to the achingly beautiful 'Sweet Child O' Mine', or the furious 'Welcome To The Jungle', the record brims with a brutal integrity. An album they could never surpass even if they had stayed together.

What's Next?

Well he really wanted to release Chinese Democracy but he got stopped by the Chinese government that threaten to sue him because (and here's the quote from that little Chinese dude that runs the government) : we are not a democracy you wang tong noodle face, we are commies so we f*** our people all the time and they can't think for themselves or do anything without our consent or us knowing it. You are lying about our motives and we will not be associated with democracy, we fought too hard to screw ourselves to let it go.May the dragons of the eternal Mao burn your a$$ in the fiery pits of hell.
