GN'RDaily.com, The GUNS N' ROSES Newswire is reporting:

Chinese Democracy has now entered the public lexicon as ‘promise that never delivers’, but in November Guns N’ Roses will finally drop its embattled sixth album. FasterLouderFasterLouder has received confirmation from Universal Music Australia that it is indeed on its way, although an exact release date has not been set.

The (multi)-million dollar question, though, is will it be worth the wait? Chinese Democracy certainly has a cracking back-story. Axl Rose began work on the album way back in 1994, allegedly chalking up more than $13 million in production costs along the way. A long list of executives and producers has been called in to steer Rose towards completion, but the frontman has been distracted by lengthy lawsuits and personal upsets. The album has been so shrouded in secrecy that an American blogger who leaked some of its tracks in August was arrested and charged.

Lmao, and it only took 14 years........... What a joke. He'll never make enough money to make it worth the $13 million + that he put into it.

Now playing: Cynic - "Integral Birth"

I hope Axl Rose and co. are serious about Chinese Democracy coming to fruition. Whether this sh** is really ever coming out is really annoying.

this is what is going to happen.

the impact of CD will be as much as AFD.
It will spawn 4 'mega-hits' that will be remembered for 20+ years, and the rest of the songs will all be decently equal without any fillers.

HOWEVER. this will not be a metal album. hard rock...hardly.
it will have songs on your top 40 radio station, not head bangers ball.
so everyone in this forum will be disappointed (expect it too...no slash, duff, sourum) but this is going to be a massive commercial success

sh**ty. sh**ty. I have it. It's on my album shelf. Go f*** yourself Axl.

For the record, "Better" is the only good song, and ONLY because it has buckethead in it.
