From the annals of We’ll Believe It When We See It: A friend of ours with a retail source has told us that the long awaited Guns N’ Roses album, Chinese Democracy, has gotten a firm release date of November 21st. Under normal circumstances we’d laugh at such an assertion — after all, this album has reportedly cost more than $13 million and has been “due out” since 1998. But whenever somebody has actually managed to get Axl to speak in the past few months, he’s said it’s coming out before the end of the year. Plus, there was that G n’ R tour announcement the other day that alluded to a release date some time in the next two months. Dare to dream, folks. Dare to dream.
Holy Eff! Guns N’ Roses’ “Chinese Democracy” Out November 21st?

does anyone care anymore?

I really hope this album sucks as much as I know it will. I’m sure RS will hail it as the greatest album ever, and the “return of rock”, but then go back to fucking Fergie on the cover.
Jason Ford | 10/5/2006, 1:13 pm EST
I care mofo! Cant wait. And I will buy it the minute it is released! I’ve been a fan since 87.

If this is true I’ll blow my load… too late.
Greg D | 10/5/2006, 1:23 pm EST
Thank God. I have been waiting for this album for years. Axl is a musical genius and this album is going to be a classic!!!!!
Harry Pantazopoulos | 10/5/2006, 1:23 pm EST
I care a whole lot too! It’s about time, this album will blow “Sam’s Town” out of the water.
Ritzii Rip | 10/5/2006, 1:25 pm EST

Hell yeah, this will blow everybody´s heads, remember.
Andy | 10/5/2006, 1:46 pm EST
I do love every bit of the old Gn’R albums but I’m mostly curious to hear this album just to see what could’ve possibly taken this long to produce.
heh, is that Jake Burns from SLF??
shookie blah | 10/5/2006, 1:46 pm EST
is that axl rose?
AXL WHAT DID YOU TO YOUR FACE, BRO? you used to look like a chick i’d like to bang, but now you look all pasty and weird…..
Coco | 10/5/2006, 1:55 pm EST
First Ballad is about Botox.
Second one Viagra.
Fat Axl, the Micheal Jackson of Hair Metal.
Ami | 10/5/2006, 2:00 pm EST
Hell ya!
Charlie | 10/5/2006, 2:00 pm EST
WoW, this album has the potential of putting hard rock back in the publics eye big time. It will probably also be better than old GnR albums seeing as the guitarist, a junkie, has been replaced.
Stephen | 10/5/2006, 2:02 pm EST
Wow this sounds good the album is going to set a new standard in music i can feel it
jake burn's boyfriend | 10/5/2006, 2:03 pm EST
i care babe
Nik | 10/5/2006, 2:04 pm EST
All you new wanna be band s out there plese take a step back and take some notes as to how a good Rock album should sound. All you money hoars putting out that crappy music out there to make a quick buck no one will remember you once u’r cd pops out the player. GN’R will still be playing long after we’re gone. I’d wait for this album even if it took another 10 years to make. Rock ON SUCKERS!!!!
Lisa D | 10/5/2006, 2:14 pm EST
All you haters can go buy the Jay-Z comeback album that is coming out the same day. If you like REAL music, well here ya go!!!
K.C. VAIL | 10/5/2006, 2:22 pm EST
I still won’t believe it till I see it…I certainly am curious about it.

To everyone from the forums:
FUCKING VENGEANCE BABY!
HAHA WHOOHOO.
GNR WILL RULE THE WORLD, AND ARE BETTER THAN EVER!
Who thinks http://www.gunsnroses.com will have a release date in the next few days? I do!
robinzon | 10/5/2006, 2:27 pm EST
We will see:).Axl,you are fucking great! ! ! ! !
Ron Burson | 10/5/2006, 2:36 pm EST
I just saw the new GNR in vegas in September. It was the best concern I have ever been too.
EFISH | 10/5/2006, 2:39 pm EST
Hey coco.. you dumbass
if you think GNR is hair metal youve got a lot to learn.
duuumbbasss
Bob Dobbs | 10/5/2006, 2:44 pm EST
Not me. Not me. BTW As Yet To Be Named is dropping a new record. I hear it’s going to be free for download.
Morton | 10/5/2006, 2:45 pm EST
This will be great. If you are a real fan of music its a no brainer. If you own a 50Cent Album well, you just won’t get it and never will. I respect Axl for doing what he wanted and what he thought was right for his art. Not what the record company wants to push. Show the record companies that good music matters. Buy two copies.
rockstar70 | 10/5/2006, 2:50 pm EST
Watch it will actually be good, then we will never hear the end from Axl Rose.
rockstar70 | 10/5/2006, 2:53 pm EST
Will RS ask Axl the question we all want to know……WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING!!!
Cacau Rodrigues | 10/5/2006, 2:55 pm EST
I don´t believe.
Matt | 10/5/2006, 2:58 pm EST
I hope this is legit.
dave-gnfnr2k | 10/5/2006, 3:02 pm EST
Axl Rose, the man, the myth, the legend. Is 2006 finally his year?
Like him or not, Axl Rose is one interesting person and most often he is misunderstood. Some people like to think of Axl as an A hole, but that is just because Axl likes to keep to himself and likes his privacy. Axl does not crave attention or look to make headlines, he gets that with out even trying and sometimes I think that embarrasses him. Just him going out for a steak dinner makes headlines, not many other people in music get that, but Axl does.
A lot of Gn’r fans get upset at Axl because still not given us a release date, but he has said a few times (mtv vmas being the most recent) that Chinese Democracy will be released this year some time in the fall. November looks to be the target date since Richard Fortus has told fans the album will be release after the US tour has started (which officially starts mid October. That is something Gn’r did with the Illusions. This album will make or break his career since it is his first album with out the old band. Axl needs to release the best “in your face rocker” on the album as the first single. If the first single is huge then the album will have no problem selling and being huge.
A lot of old Gn’r fans like to think the new songs we have heard so far are not as good as the old bands songs, but that is not the important question. The important question is, are the new songs as good or better than the current mainstream songs on the radio today? Judging from what is currently on the radio and judging from what was on the Mtv VMA’s the answer to that is YES. I think Madagascar, IRS, the Blues and Chinese Democracy, There Was A Time, Catcher in the Rye and Better are just as good if not better than a lot of the music on the radio right now, and those songs are not even the “big guns” that Axl has in store for us. Better is a style we have never heard before by gn’r and could be a huge hit once we get the studio version.
The four demos we have heard are very different and very good. Better mixes pop with metal, while IRS is a mix of old gnr and industrial music. There Was A Time is very November Rainish and Catcher in the Rye (which features Brian May on lead guitar) is a lot like something from the UYI’s and has a Beatles feel to it. IRS actually charted for radio spins, which is a first for a leaked demo. It also got the most votes for one stations cage match in the history of that station. What is so great about the demos is most people have a different favorite which just shows how diverse this album is going to be and is going to appeal to a wide verity of people. This album will have something for everyone, from the old school fans, to new fans.
For those who think Axl cannot sing any more just needs to listen to these demos, he has never sounded better. If anyone has heard him live from the Hammerstein shows, RIR or the Euro tour know that his vintage raspy voice is also back. His voice has been getting better and better with each show.
He has a set of amazing and underrated players backing him up and they have all worked very hard on this album. The few people that have heard the album have all said how great or amazing the songs are, so if CD is promoted the way it should be it could be the best album of 2006. Axl and his new Gn’r could be on top of the music world again. Just looks at the VMAs this past year. The killers headlined, if gn’r played this year they easily would have been the closing act.
Chinese Democracy is going to be like nothing we have heard before from Guns n’ Roses. Tommy calls the new songs “earth shattering” and Dizzy has said the songs will exceed our expectations. Those statements make me wonder how amazing this album could very well be. Brian May and Tommy have both talked about how outrageous/amazing Axl’s voice is on the album. Tommy also alluded that the rockers on CD will be like old gnr, while Zakk Wylde said the songs he heard from CD sounded like AFD on steroids. Axl’s lyrics are said to have deeper meaning than on past albums, we have gotten a taste of that with some of the demo leaks.
Chinese Democracy is going to showcase the new bands diversity and could still be talked about years from now much like AFD is still proclaimed as being just as fresh today as it was 15 years ago. CD is said to be a melting pot album by Axl and I think we will be able to tell what each members input was to each song. I think each song will have each member’s trademark, something they can all be proud of. I am not saying this album will be the best album ever, but I believe it’s going to something that will inspire discussion for years to come. and not only will it serve to cement Axl’s legendary status as the ultimate rock star, it will preserve the dignity of the guns n roses name in the annals of rock history
Axl has had a few false starts over the past 6 years, but it is now time for Axl to take his throne back as the best front man in rock, others have tried but none have even come close to having Axl stage presence or aura. Axl holds his destiny and legacy in his hands. He can either be the huge star he used to be or he can just disappear again. Either way Axl Rose will always be one of music great mysteries. He had it all in the late 80s and early 90s and he can have it all again if he wants it, he just has to release the album and everything will fall into place. Rock has been missing something for quite some time and that something is Axl Rose.
bill surette | 10/5/2006, 3:04 pm EST
this cd will take over the world!!!! just like GNR is doing.. god bless you AXL..bill
ors | 10/5/2006, 3:10 pm EST
Oh, finally! I guess they just wanted to bring their fans back with a european/american tour first
530 | 10/5/2006, 3:14 pm EST
give this new gnr a chance. i went with friends to gnr in vegas last month and the guitar players r great and axl’s voice is 100 times better than 2002 tour. a buddy of mine is now a gnr fan b/c of it (he used to hate gnr).
John | 10/5/2006, 3:33 pm EST
hey jake burns, what country do you live in?? EVERYONE FUCKING CARES!!!!!!!!!
jake | 10/5/2006, 3:37 pm EST
i saw this new incarnation of guns n roses at hammerstein in NY back in May…so much better than back in 2002…Axl has his stage presence back and his voice sounded amazing…the new songs that have leaked are terrific and the studio versions will be 10 times better in quality…GNR is back in a big way!!
axlfan | 10/5/2006, 3:48 pm EST
everyone should care…there is no denying Axl Rose musical genius…he is one hell of a songwriter, singer, and live performer…half of GNR biggest hits, actually more than half were songs that the rest of the old band never wanted to even play…Sweet Child, Patience, November Rain…those are all Axl Rose people…the music world needs Axl right now because its all crap…GNR could have released a few albums over the years of crap music like Metallica/Pearl Jam, and whoever else sold out! Axl has been holding out until he is good and ready, he does not want to release something that will cheat his fans…GNR ARE BACK BABY…WATCH OUT WORLD!!
TylerPaige | 10/5/2006, 3:57 pm EST
This would have been good 12 years ago. Now who cares? If it is good, it will merely be a footnote to the story of a once great band.

What? | 10/5/2006, 4:01 pm EST
Hey dave-gnfnr2k,
Obsess much?
girlincarwithgnr | 10/5/2006, 4:08 pm EST
leave Dave alone, he’s bored!
haha
I think Rolling Stone is getting thier inside tips from Blabbermouth
Fortus = the new guitar-hero | 10/5/2006, 4:13 pm EST
Chinese Democracy will be big. Listen to IRS, Madagascar, the Blues, TWAT, Better, Catcher in the Rye… this is quality.
pedro | 10/5/2006, 4:13 pm EST
é eu espero q isso seja verdade pq eu naum posso esperar…mas é só ter mas um pouco de paciencia
Delila | 10/5/2006, 4:24 pm EST
I say “OFF W/ THEIR HEADS” for those who didnt think the album would be out this year. Yes, it was a long wait but you could tell this year was different.
Jeff | 10/5/2006, 4:35 pm EST
I’d hate to say it, but I think it’s actually true this time.
I saw them a couple weeks ago at the KROQ Inland Invasion. Axl sounds/looks/performs great. His band are as good as they can be for not being the original. That’s only a half compliment. They do their homework but at the same time that means they try way too hard compared to the original band.
I hope it rocks. I don’t see it selling more than 500k in its first week though…I don’t buy the ‘it will set sales records’ hype one bit.
Better is a great tune. I hope the album version sounds better/fuller than the demo.
SATAN | 10/5/2006, 4:36 pm EST
DAVE OBVIOUSLY IS AN INFORMED, OBSESSED FAN, MUCH LIKE MYSELF ABOUT U2….GOTTA LOVE AXL FOR REIGNITING INTEREST IN “REAL” ROCK AND ROLL, EVEN IF YOU HATE HIM…I’M SURE THERE WON’T BE ANY POINT IN RANKING ROCK RECORDS THIS YEAR UNTIL THIS ALBUM IS PORED OVER….”MADAGASCAR” IS AN AWESOME SONG.
Valeria | 10/5/2006, 4:44 pm EST
AXL – BRASIL TE AMA
BRASIL, I LOVE AXL ROSE, I LOVE GNR…

TylerPaige | 10/5/2006, 4:45 pm EST
I think that dave-gnfnr2k has too much time on his hands in his parents basement and coincidentally would not get laid in a dolphin whorehouse with a pocket full of fish.
Gunner89 | 10/5/2006, 4:48 pm EST
I so hope this is true! GNR will save rock once more, lets face it, it needs saving, and who better to do it than Axl,Bumblefoot, 4tus, Finck, Brain, Tommy, Dizzy. Better will rock this world!
tim | 10/5/2006, 4:49 pm EST
god i hope its true and if this is true there has to be a single coming out in the coming week or sso
big one | 10/5/2006, 5:19 pm EST
I hope the album comes out but I’m tired of the BS surrounding it. RELEASE A SINGLE/RELEASE A VIDEO/HAVE AN ALBUM RELEASE DATE! Tired of these head games. YOU Axl, NEED US to buy your records. YOU CAN’T keep dragging the GNR name through the mud!
AllTiredAndStuff | 10/5/2006, 5:20 pm EST
Dear Axl,
Hey friend……..how are you…….people are wondering where you’ve been, and what you have been up to…….and now we know that you have done what no one else has been able to do……..you brought democracy to china…..and thats great……..How about bringing democracy back to the United States
ps. If you could….would you bring back those dolphins from the estranged video…….see we’ve grown a little weary of sea creatures since the death of the crocodile hunter….and if you could bring some dolphins for the kids…..that would be swell…..thank you
Gibson | 10/5/2006, 5:37 pm EST

dave-gnfnr2k | 10/5/2006, 6:08 pm EST
TylerPaige I am sure I get laid more than you there junior. As for being obsessed. Gnr is my favorite band. And you know that fan is short for fanatic right? Some of you should look up fanatic sometime. Anyone who thinks this album is going to suck should go listen to Catcher in the Rye, There was a Time or better. Those three songs are better than any thing out there right now.
luvU | 10/5/2006, 6:11 pm EST
Syke Nah, but for real dave you ma boy
EFISH | 10/5/2006, 6:14 pm EST

Dadud | 10/5/2006, 7:06 pm EST
Dont you get it? The Rolling Stones is pressuring them to give a release date.
EFISH | 10/5/2006, 7:16 pm EST
The Rolling Stones?
Thats a band.
Your an idiot.
Randy | 10/5/2006, 7:22 pm EST
Holy Crap, I just had an Epiphany. I took a deep breath and thought to myself – Randy, you bitch alot on this log about new bands, how they stink…Suck, Blow…Whatever. I TAKE IT BACK, DAMNIT – DIVERSITY AIN’T SO BAD – Axl Rose coming back on the scene. What a Disaster
SATAN | 10/5/2006, 7:25 pm EST
WHAT “SCENE”? THERE IS NO SCENE, JUST A BUNCH OF POSEURS WHO INHABITED A VACUUM LEFT BY THE DEPARTURE OF GNR AND NIRVANA. I WELCOME BACK ANYONE WHO HAS THE BALLS TO BRING BACK ROCK AND ROLL IN ITS RAWEST FORM.
GNR India | 10/5/2006, 7:33 pm EST
I hope the album rocks .Axl is my all time fav rocker ..
The Spaghetti Incident? | 10/5/2006, 7:34 pm EST
Get a life Brian, RS will hail it as the greatest album ever, but for a reason. I’m sure once you’re done being the asshole that you are, you’ll be able to record a much better rock album, then? I’m sure you wouldn’t even be able to dream up a better song than “Silkworms”
greg sikes | 10/5/2006, 7:49 pm EST
axl u are the best its about time to see u come alive again cant wait to see u in your tour and buy your new cd and more to come

GNR will play philly (wachovia center) on the night of the release. tickets on sale next saturday…only $20!!!!!!!!!!!There is the major announcement free fm WYSP has been talking about today…
Chad - Hawaii | 10/5/2006, 10:38 pm EST
Yeah, a lot of people care if you haven’t noticed. Over a million tickets sold in the last 6 months. I don’t think this is going to be the greatest album ever – well, not to the haters anyway. It will be the greatest album ever to those of us who have stood by GNR. We the true fans will get what we wanted. Thats it! We win! Who gives a fuck what all the others think. Obviously, you stupid asses don’t get it and never will.
Alejo | 10/6/2006, 1:03 am EST
I am waiting for the magical moment. Being bored, watching Mtv, and then, without any warning, suddenly, a new GNR video appears on the screen. Wow, I will say, i will be so exited. Finally, the time would have came. And 3 o 4 minutes later, I gues i will thinking: Why Have a spent a lot of thoughts about this moment, this isn´t that great, when is the police coming back?
Your sincerely.

I hope here in Brazil I get to find early the Chinese album..
Andrew | 10/6/2006, 11:15 am EST
Just because the album says “GNR” it will be huge. But if the songs are good then this might have some staying power on the charts for quite awhile.
Tom | 10/6/2006, 12:08 pm EST
the real question is did anybody care in 1998 when the only member left was Axl, Answer: no
i’d hope

Brian Mohan | 10/6/2006, 1:17 pm EST
Hell yeah we care, at least us real fans do. The tracks sound great and they are just demos. This might not hit the peaks of Nickelback like record sales, but who really wants that because the majority of record buyers today are stupid.
Mr. Guns | 10/6/2006, 1:29 pm EST
Of course Chinese Democrazy is gonna sell more than Nickelbak and more than Velvet Revolver…Don’t you see the sells of the concerts?????

Homer Simpson | 10/6/2006, 2:41 pm EST
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Mmmmmmmmmm. ……Chinese Democracy
Axl came to Springfield and did a show with the new version of GnR
recently and they were amazing. Almost as good as this donut I’m eating right now.
Axl will rule ‘06 and my movie will rule ‘07. O.K. The Simpsons
and TRANSFORMERS the movie will split ruling the world in ‘07
Just wanted to lighten the mood from the anger below.
All idiotic kidding aside, I’m the biggest guns fan since ‘88 and I’m 31 now. I’ve seen the new
GnR 4 times. Vegas twice in ‘02 (New Years Eve)
Once a couple of years later in NY (MSG) then they didn’t show for the Phily show, then I saw them in NY at the Hammerstien Ballroom, 1st of the four shows.(missed Izzy) ![]()
Each time they got more and more amazing and it’s wierd to say this but I actually think this band is better. Fink is amazing and Fortus (sp?) is an unknown musical guitar genius. They are just loaded with talent. I liked buckethead better than the Bumblefoot guy but maybe Stradlin will fill in for good???
Anyway I hope GnR give the music industry a shot in the arm, ’cause ROCK really needs it.
Don’t get me wrong, in every bad music period there are still some good bands around but for the most part the only stuff I’m buying right now are the bands that are leftovers from the 90’s
Tool, NIN, Audioslave which were two great bands from the 90’s.
I have bought only like ten albums from bands that formed in the 00’s. AND I’M SICK OF IT!!!!!
Please AXL kickstart a new generation of music that doesn’t SUCK!!! Thank God for my IPOD, Sirius and HOWARD STERN. I have something to listen to.
RADIO SUUUUUUCKS!!!
GNR RUUUUUULLLLLLLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rob Brighton UK | 10/6/2006, 2:46 pm EST
I wont be holding my breath, but if it is actually happening… ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME! Its not really GNR, but I think most people, hardcore fans included, will overlook that if Axl delivers an album of real quality. I tend to agree with the prevailing view that the new material they’ve played live doesnt match the AFD classics for quality. But I would also argue that songs like The Blues and especially Better stand head and shoulders above the current competition. You never know, it just might be a fantastic rock album.
WCB | 10/6/2006, 2:53 pm EST
AXL, I am still waiting for my refund. I hope you refund me for the 2 tickets I bought to the show you cut short. I am sure I will get it and the new album when it comes out. Probably the same day we all get world peace.
Ann Alvarez | 10/6/2006, 3:25 pm EST
Too little, too late. It shouldn’t be called GNR..It should be an AXL solo cd..BTW I waited on him at the Hard Rock Cafe at Universal Citywalk. His hair looks pubic and he his face is yellow and pasty. He looked like a drag queen impersonating Axl Rose. After his meal he went upstairs and posed by the GNR memorabilia as his friends took pics. Weird. I was a GNR fan two decades ago, but am not interested in this new album. The original band members are gone, and Axl’s rotten attitude has only increased. Go ahead and flame me. I don’t care. I won’t be back to read the responses. I just thought a non-obsessed former fan should post after reading all the one-sided worshipping posts. The 80’s are over.
Jeff | 10/6/2006, 4:43 pm EST
EFISH actually wrote ‘your an idiot’ because someone else wrote ‘Rolling Stones’ instead of ‘Rolling Stone’.
Too funny. Hey EFISH, genius, ‘Your’ is possessive. As in, ‘Your head is so far up your ass that you’re calling other people idiots and you can’t even spell’.
See, I showed you how to use ‘you’re’ correctly in that sentence. Free spelling lesson! YOU’RE welcome.
rageon77 | 10/6/2006, 5:06 pm EST
BUZZIN,from what ive heard up to now ie madagascar,irs,better and especially the blues,this album will be xmas number one
Trust me i know,and if they release the blues as a single that will also be xmas number one(get to the bookies quick)
Axladdict | 10/6/2006, 7:19 pm EST
If this is true, I know what I’ll be thankful for on Thanksgiving. Axl and GNR so rule!
John | 10/6/2006, 7:21 pm EST
well i must the say, the fact that this story has 1,000 times the posts of any other story truly shows that GNR still has alot of life in them….CHINESE DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zeeg | 10/6/2006, 7:23 pm EST
Man, these are going to be long days from now on……….!!!!
That day is the greatest day of this year when it’s released!!!!!!!!
ishmael | 10/6/2006, 7:55 pm EST
Look, this album may rock or it may suck, but chances are it’ll be somewhere in between. Anyway, Axl, you’ve been working on the damn thing for a decade and a half. Just release it already. Let people decide for themselves, and give the haters and the fanboys a vacation from flaming each other. Jeez.
Torgo | 10/6/2006, 8:52 pm EST
The Master … APPROVES!!!
All hail to GN’R … welcome back!
And also, thanks to Axl for letting me see Izzy (the most underrated guitarist and songwriter of the last 50 years) perform with GNR onstage again!
Dinho | 10/6/2006, 10:26 pm EST
Brazil aways suport GNR. I love this band!
slash | 10/7/2006, 12:14 am EST

Mandela | 10/7/2006, 12:23 am EST
But really, there’s only one thing that REALLY matters about this album, I mean will it really be able to finally bring democracy to China?
Axl fan, Croatia | 10/7/2006, 4:49 am EST
Thank Good, but still I have some doubts….I was on the gnr show in mai and it was awesome!!!!!… Still waiting for Democracy…
Buddy | 10/7/2006, 5:31 am EST
I am 40 years old have seen old GnR 3 times went to see the new Guns in Glasgow and was totally blown away. Mr Rose is on top form,a living legend and actually appearing like he is enjoying himself.This world needs a rockstar and axl is the real deal.
The new album what I have heard so far will be brilliant-go and see them on tour you will be amazed had how awesome GnR are live.Axl is doing it beause he wants to not for the money he does not need it
Peace out

Brian your an idiot. You ‘hope the album sucks’, very odd. You hate Axl, OK thats fine, dont buy it then. Why post anything?
ps Chinese Democrasy is gonna be one of the most important albums of all time. It will be a legend in 20 years time!!!!!!
GO AXL!!!!
gnfnr | 10/7/2006, 6:27 pm EST
to the haters, go buy some emo rock bull shit. For the fans, here we go baby, long live the sunset strip.
Anonymous | 10/7/2006, 11:45 pm EST
I’ll believe it when I see it, but I highly doubt there will be a new studio album this year. But do we really need a new GNR album? The times have changed, and Axl has his head up his ass. If he hadn’t alienated all the former members, we’d have 4 or 5 GNR albums in the last 15 years. But the GNR brand of schock cock rock doesn’t hold up well in 2006. Axl is an ugly motherfucker, can’t sing worth shit, and is an all around asshole. If Chinese Democracy never sees the light of day, I sure wouldn’t lose any sleep.
Joe | 10/8/2006, 12:03 am EST
1991: GNR was sitting on top of the world. Nirvana knocked GNR out of the limelight. Axl alienated all his bandmates. Axl spent the last 15 years with his head up his ass. Time has passed on, and GNR had become a joke: they were on the brink of being one of the greatest bands of all time and Axl blew it. Axl is an ugly mother fucker, can’t sing worth shit, probably smokes crack, and is an asshole. Chinese Democracy will sell well, but it won’t be a landmark masterpiece. In the past 15 years, Axl could’ve released 3 or 4 or 5 studio albums in that time. But instead he spent the time jacking off to an album that hopefully will never see the light of day.
Joe | 10/8/2006, 12:06 am EST
I wouldn’t be surprised if Axl also does meth.
mark in durham | 10/8/2006, 4:57 am EST
I hope it comes out, ive been betting my brother £10 for the last 6 years
Westwood | 10/8/2006, 6:23 am EST
Well…and go on…and go on…
Same old history!! With no lead guitarrist like Slash and no bass player like Duff, it´s no easy to make a record that “blows” again the G n`R sound!! It´s like Beatles is these days!! Dont work no more!!
Riggz | 10/8/2006, 10:04 am EST
Man… Im buying 10 copies straight away. just to give some copies to some mates who said Chinese Democracy ain’t happening… God have you guys heard “Better”, That songs going to be a Hit!

Heh… It’s great, of course. But would we believe Axl? :\ I guess we have to wait and see. I don’t wanna make any conclusions now.

ALE | 10/8/2006, 6:21 pm EST
PEOPLE WOULDN’T CARE ABOUT ANY BAND THAT HASN’T RELEASED ANYTHING NEW FOR TEN YEARS, THE ONLY ONE WHO IS ABLE TO DO SUCH THING IS “AXL FUCKING GENIUS ROSE”, I MUST TELL I LOVE SLASH AND I BELIEVE HIS UNIQUE, BUT STILL SUPPORT AXL AND HIS NEW GNRs TO DEATH, JUST FOR BEING AXL ROSE, THE BIGGEST ROCK STAR EVER, FUCK THE STONES, METALLICA, U2, NIRVANA, MOTLEY CRUE, AC DC, AEROSMITH; IT’S ALL ABOUT GNR NOW.-
Use Your Illusion No. 3 | 10/8/2006, 9:20 pm EST
He can always do a “sellout album” like Santana’s Supernatural. Have guests like Fergie, Michelle Branch, Steven “Tyler Britkake” Tyler. He could use a “guest guatarist” like Joe Perry, and duet partner like Steven Perry cuz “Life’s a Journey”. He used to be a racist, but now since Michael Jackson is “white” he can do a duet with him. Or George Michael called “Coked Up”. To get in the graces of GLADD.
John | 10/8/2006, 11:46 pm EST
This album is going to be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harry | 10/8/2006, 11:48 pm EST
This album is going to be the greatest rock release since..well GNR’s last release…they are the kings of rock..and no one has taken their place yet….
JOEL | 10/8/2006, 11:49 pm EST
I hope rolling stone puts Axl on the cover, i would buy 100 copies if they did
Estranged | 10/8/2006, 11:51 pm EST
me too….you can put me down for at least 10 copies if they put Axl on the cover…that would be huge!!!! one of their biggest sellers ever…Chinese Democracy Starts now!
tim | 10/9/2006, 12:12 am EST
yea a axl rolling stone cover and interview would be insane
Eddie | 10/9/2006, 1:00 am EST
absolutely, lets face it, whether you are a GNR fan or not, this is the biggest release of the last decade, RS would have to be crazy not to put Axl on the cover, with a full in depth interview with him and an album review….it would be huge
Billy Bob | 10/9/2006, 1:35 am EST

shmee | 10/9/2006, 7:27 am EST
In November 1988 I turned 18, wrote my final school exams and discovered Guns n Roses. GnR coincided with my new found freedom and for the next five years I grew my hair long, drank, smoked and picked up babes with wild abandon.
Next month I turn 36, the hair that I have left is short, I have a wife and kid, a job and a mortgage.
Don’t get me wrong GnR have a special place in my heart and I still listen to them in my car. I’ll get the new album, just because it’s GnR, but I’m not expecting much from them or me.
cure gastroparesis | 10/9/2006, 7:54 am EST
that’s a hell of alot of comments left on this article.
i predict the albums only gonna b ok when it gets released. im still buyin it neway.
a yr after its actual release, ppl. will b wonderin wot the big fuss was about. of course, ‘chinese democracy’ will always b the example the music press refers 2 when a particular album is long anticipated yet doesnt meet expectations.
however, given the current rock musical climate- ‘chinese democracy’ may actually come across as a gr8 album. compared 2 rest of rock releases this yr its gonna sound like musical genius. so it would b clever 2 release now- especially after the tour.
i dont think the reviews will hold up in yrs 2 come, when quality rock albums r made available.
rhcp, tool, evanescence, pearl jam (even afi) all released average or just above average releases this yr. audioslaves new lp was the best of a bad bunch. even audioslave’s number didnt have much depth
Andrea | 10/9/2006, 10:42 am EST
I care, I, will buy it, Axl is an excelent singer,
ben fong torres | 10/9/2006, 10:50 am EST

I don’t care if its only Axl the thing has cost ver $13 million and has been in the works for over 10 years I wanna see what the hell he has been doing for the last 10 years …So I’m excited about this, I’m hoping its gona come out but I know there is a 99.9% chance It won’t come out

Free at last!The best news i ever heard!!
Anonymous | 10/9/2006, 1:30 pm EST
Slash??? Duff??? Izzy??? I saw velvet revolver in Vegas a couple of months ago mainly because I am a GnR fan…The concert was just ok…Slash was great but the show was just ok…Fast forward…I went to both GnR shows last month in Vegas not knowing what to expect…thinking much like some of the other comments on here…It’s not GnR without slash…after the first song I knew this was not TRUE.The band that Axl has put together is amazing period, yes it would be nice to see the original boys back together…but after seeing the first show I had no problem spending another $150 on tickets for the next night!!! The new stuff is incredible!!!
John | 10/9/2006, 3:01 pm EST
hey guys, slash, duff and izzy have been out of the band for the past 10 years, welcome to 2006…this is guns n roses, pretty much the same line-up for the past 10 years..and for whoever said they are not expecting much from this next album…you obviously havent heard any of the demos..this is going to be the best rock release in 15 years…hand down
frank | 10/9/2006, 4:35 pm EST
no question it will be great all the leaks have benn fantastic “better” “catcher in the rye”, “There was a time” are amazing and “irs” is a good straight ahead rock song and none of us have even heared axl’s supposed “big guns”
Matthew | 10/9/2006, 4:59 pm EST
I’m absolutely shocked that people are really excited about this. It’s going to be a bloated, overworked, labored, overpersonalized MESS. You can see it coming a mile away. 15 years to make it….you can pretty much take out any raw punch that made Appetite so appealing in the first place. Great rock records, for the most part, aren’t LABORED. They just happen in a frenzy of creativity from artists at their peak. They don’t come from washed up lunatics spending 15 years in a studio working on an album. Just ask Brian Wilson and Syd Barrett.
Ari | 10/9/2006, 7:03 pm EST
The last rock & roll God alive. And the new album songs are straight, no frills good ol’ hard rocking’ songs. I love all of them. Axl is going to rule 2007. I’m going to the show in Portland on Dec 11
) It’s gonna be mayhem!
EFISH | 10/9/2006, 8:30 pm EST
On a side note, anyone else excited that Britney Spears is finally back in the studio? Another music genius finally working towards a new release.
Nate | 10/9/2006, 10:07 pm EST
I hope this album does come out on it’s new release date of November 21’st. I’ve been waiting for this album for a while now and I don’t think I’ll be disappointed. (I know that others will, like people who insist that Izzy and Slash created it all) But all in all, I love Guns N’ Roses and I’m not very satisfied with newer bands today. Older bands in the eighties and seventies get my attention, and that is why I am looking forward for the return of Guns N’ Roses
There’s a rumored concert date of Decmember 2nd at the Target Center and I hope I can attend.
moose | 10/9/2006, 10:13 pm EST
and axl’s voice is completly back listen to the soundbords from thier rock am ring concert perticularly. so basically i’m pumped for this album
mech munkey | 10/9/2006, 10:45 pm EST
i seen gunners some 15 years ago and it was the most incredable rock and roll show ever. i have no doubt that axl will change world of music just like the beatels!
John | 10/10/2006, 1:04 am EST
hey matthew, it did not take 15 years to make this record, its been 15 years since their last original studio record…alot of the years in between were spent getting a new line up, and experimenting with new technologies, alot of the songs on the record were done years written years ago, so i dont think you have to worry about some of the songs seeming overworked, listen to the demos, they are awesome!!
AMY | 10/10/2006, 2:28 am EST
this album will change the world….put Axl on the cover RS!!!!!!!!

to the “anonymous” guy: you cant’t compare a gnr setlist to a velvet revolver setlist, come on…. what i say is that slash should be there too, the thing is axl is a fucking asshole he kicked everybody out of the band. and trust me the new album sucks. you guys heard “madagascar” what a waste of time. chinese democracy is gonna be the greatest failure in music history.

You people are fucking idiots if you think this record is going to be as good as the actual GnR. I hope you buy it, find out it’s a dissappointment, which it will be, and feel screwed. Fool you once, shame on axl, fool you twice, good, you deserve it you dumb bastard. Idiots.
Aline | 10/11/2006, 7:00 pm EST
Acredito q finalmente o Chinese Democracy será lançado esse ano, gosto muito da formação nova da banda , os caras são muito bons!!!!tô muito ansiosa pra escutar o cd,já q as músicas novas são mto foda!
é isso, GUNS N’ ROSES A MELHOR BANDA DO MUNDOOO!!!
Joe | 10/11/2006, 7:21 pm EST
Hey this album is gonna rock, have u heard better, its amazin’, even though there’s no Slash after listenin’ to the new band i forgot completely about him.
What would be GNR without Axl?
think about it.
AXL | 10/11/2006, 7:53 pm EST
jack daniels pls
Dickstar | 10/12/2006, 8:12 am EST
Slash is a good guitar player, but he can only be awesome in combination with Guns ‘n Roses. Slash is way too cool for Velvet Revolver, which is an average band with average songs. In case you didn’t knew, Axl and Izzy did 99% of the songwriting on the old GNR albums. Slash ‘just’ did the solo’s. Some new songs like IRS and There was a time are awesome. The only thing that’s missing is Slash’ awesome blues playing. I’ve seen the new band live and they are good. It was the best concert i’ve seen and i’ve seen a lot of em. Don’t say they suck just cause Slash isn’t there anymore. Axl is way more important for GNR then Slash. Ever heard a performance of Sweet Child O Mine by Velvet Revolver? If you do, you’ll get my point.
Dickstar | 10/12/2006, 8:16 am EST
Oh and those who don’t expect that much about the new album, you’ll be suprised. I’ve heard some of the demo’s and some songs live and it’s definitely good stuff. Especially if you compare it to the fake rock they play on MTV these days.

Give your band another name, Axl, this is no GNR and it’s never going to be it. Today I watched the use your illusion dvd again, live in Tokyo. THAT was GNR, this new band is your own solo band. By the way, I’ll never say you and your new band can’t kick ass, I believe you still can. But don’t call it GNR, please.

Mikey Tha RockStar | 10/17/2006, 3:29 pm EST
I care!!! I heard demos from the former albums, they rock in the exact same way as the demos from this one.. I was a little bit disappointed with Silkworms and Rhiad and beoudians (or something like this), and hope they will change dramatically.. But I think the others rock and gonna kick ass. I have faith in Axl. And still I don`t thnk we have heard the best yet.. But already at this moment I gonna be happy for the album after CD, if Izzy continues, and Axl and Izzy is getting to start making songs togheter again. That one will rock much more aggain. If it last that long so…

Keep your eyes open, I think the biggest thing to come out of the GNR camp will be Bumblefoot. That boy can play, not just anyone gets the attention of Joe Satriani.
The Real Carson Palmer | 10/19/2006, 5:28 pm EST
According to http://www.newgnr.com, at Axl’s recent party he was playing Chinese Democracy. This means that the album must be completed and is ready for store release. Only time will tell…
diana | 10/19/2006, 8:14 pm EST
i think that the new album of guns and roses is going to be fine, i love his music and i fall in love with him, i listened five or four songs about and these song are perfect how him, but i need that coming soon from latinamerica,( colombia ) please come again.
Carson Palmer's Mother | 10/20/2006, 12:55 pm EST
Axl might be serious this time. According to http://www.newgnr.com, he’s allowed Harley-Davidson to use one of the new tracks from Chinese Democracy in a commercial. Maybe just maybe it will come out…
Jeff | 10/20/2006, 4:48 pm EST
xl and Slash need to make up and get back together. It’s almost like Tyler and Perry, they’re awesome together, and mediocre apart. Come on guys! Give us some real GNR!
Fredouille | 10/21/2006, 7:48 pm EST

I’m hoping just as much as the rest of you though…

axl should be on the December cover. WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS AXL. The album will be out in december
Rob | 10/25/2006, 4:22 am EST
Axl was always the reason I became a Gunners nut, it’s sad that Slash and Duff are gone but not as sad as Izzy going. The new songs are bold and sound awesome, that’s all that really matters. Axl you rule!

Bob | 11/13/2006, 9:19 pm EST
does anyone care ? … jeeze… you are talking about a legend….. Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Stones, Queen, and GnR… they are all up there…..
and for all those bitching about the characters that are gone…… well it’s a shame the characters are gone… but a band is only 2 things…. 1.). the singer.. 2.) the songs….. the music is just technical…..that side can be replaced.
Queen without Freddie ?
The Stones without Jagger ?
GnR without Axl ?
the others are gone and sure Axl probably busted heads with them…and suffered for it…. but people in a team have to know their part….. It’s not Axl’s place to bow to a bass player or drummer that wrote the occasional song….. lead guitarist perhaps…. but take a cold look……
Slashes snakepit is just that… a pit of crap…. and wow adding duff on bass and calling it velvet revolver sure made it sound so much better (not)…..i never heard such disappointing rubbish…. they’d never get signed but for their names….
on the other hand the quick mixes of the new tunes…. absolutely rock…. sure one or two slash chops are missing…. it’s a shame not to go and see the characters on stage….
but if it meant they’d all OD’ed on smack by now just putting up with each other…. then better we get Axl on his own…..
as for the name… we’ll its his voice.. his franchise… his terms…. if the others couldn’ deal with it… bad luck….

Mick in Dublin Ireland | 11/16/2006, 9:02 am EST
Your all idiots if you think this album will be as good as Destruction or the illusions and who ever said that izzy and axl wrote 99% of the old songs and slash just wrote the solo’s is full of shit izzy did write alot on destruction and i love him cause he rocks but slash worte the big ones like paradise city welcome to the jungle and sweet child of mine and he worte alot on use your illusions everyone has to realise that guns n roses are gone once izzy left it was over.yea axl’s album will prob be the best out of all the solo albums but he has been working on it for ten years.
Chase | 11/16/2006, 9:49 am EST

JJ | 11/21/2006, 11:58 am EST
Bad news, http://www.hardradio.com has posted the following:
“GUNS N ROSES’ “Chinese Democracy” is delayed at least until 2007 after the band’s label admitted there was no November release schedule. Axl Rose had recently revealed his intention to get the $15m, ten-year-old project onto the shelves before the end of the year, and a press release for the Chinese Democracy Tour at the beginning of October 2006 also stated that “there are only 13 Tuesdays left between now and the end of the year” – dropping a hint that the album would be released on a Tuesday between October 3rd and December 19th.”
Miko | 11/21/2006, 4:49 pm EST
Just hurry up and get the album out before you die or something Axl. Geesh.
#$%@$# | 11/22/2006, 4:45 pm EST
The only thing that I can say,
given this 10 years delay, is….
Axl Rose sucks!
smythy | 11/22/2006, 7:37 pm EST
see all these ppl who mibi say they love guns and roses whislt slateing them saying ” axl suck” or “bring it out before you die” i hate these ppl they should just shut up and follow another band. like westlife or take-that cause very1 kno and axl himself knos he is makeing this album and the best ever and wen it cums out i think it will be 1 of the best albums out and it will be worth the wait so every1 just give sume time,……. a rumour is it could be out on the 28th of nov.
according to a slasmen in virgin in chicgo he posted that his managers r saying that the album will be out on that day and to keep it hush… also the 28th is a TUESDAY
luke | 11/24/2006, 6:19 pm EST

jess | 2/21/2007, 10:17 am EST
I can clearley say that if this album is not out by march this year then i will lose all faith in axl rose
Patience | 3/15/2007, 8:50 pm EST
Creating music is an art, a talent, a gift. Who are we to say how long it should take Axl to create his work of art. He will when it’s ready. People cool your jets and chill.I’m sure it’ll be awesome and well worth the wait. Looking forward to it. Axl you are awesome!!
rocker897 | 3/21/2007, 8:43 pm EST
Technically i don’t really think that I would call Guns n Roses Guns n Roses anymore because axl is the only original member. I think this new album might be good, but not sounding like Guns n Roses.Axl has really gotten full of it, Im glad we have velvet revolver though, they kinda carry on some of the Guns n Roses sound. But i will probably get this new album just to see how it sounds
pac man | 4/20/2007, 9:10 pm EST
got my tix for the sydney show ! – cant fuckin wait to see axl on stage , never had i heard a voice as unique as his and i dont think anyone will ever match that talent . i saw the gunners rock out in sydney back in 1992 and i cant fuckin wait to see them do the same in june . just like everyone else , i hace hung out for this album for so long and listen to the leaked demos over and over again , finally , this is all starting to happen – axl – your true die hard fans never lost hope , even if it did take 15 years , dude , we still love you and cant wait to see you again .
Rip N Tear | 5/9/2007, 11:04 am EST
I cant wait for the album although i noe it might not be a gud album… bt atleast i’d b able to say tht ,yes, my favourite band “gnr” hs released an album…it is still thre
Martin | 5/22/2007, 3:06 pm EST
It seems to me that he knows it’s not going to sell like it would have 10 years ago and he is too scared to release a flop. That is really a shame because it would be nice to hear what an album that took over 10 years to make sounds like. It took Led Zeppelin less time to record their enitre collection. What a joke!
SAUL GNR FAN | 6/3/2007, 11:26 am EST
THE DATE HAS PASSED AND IT STILL ISN’T OUT YET. THE NEXT DATE WAS MARCH 6TH AND IT FAILED TO COME OUT THEN AS WELL. AS FAR AS I KNOW (FROM THE HMV SITE)THE ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED ON 17/9/2007
SAULGNRFAN | 6/3/2007, 11:28 am EST
THE NEXT RELEASE DATE IS 17TH SEPTEMBER 2007. SEVERAL SITES CONFIRM IT, INCLUDING BOTH HMV AND AMAZON.
RocketQueen07 | 6/11/2007, 5:31 am EST
it just really upsets me that someone so amazing as axl can dissapoint his fans so much! no matter what i said in march i will never lose faith in someone so amazing we

Tyler | 6/12/2007, 4:56 pm EST
Just shut up and listen to some other music and stop thinking about it until it is out. The tracks that have leaked so far sound unreal and they are not even the final versions.
GNR is going to sell a lot of records when this comes out. They will probably ousell velvet revolvers new album.
(nothing against velvet revolver)
Steve | 7/2/2007, 6:58 am EST
I agree.The leaked tracks all sound fantastic.They’re a cross between the old band,and a fresh band looking forward to the future.There’s not really any other band that sounds quite like the new GNR.
They could well be a fashionable band again,like they were in the late 80s/early 90s with the release of Appetite and Illusion.
But now i’m getting a little worried and not to mention annoyed.Although recording and mixing supposedly finished months ago there’s still no news on it coming out.Although they’re currently on tour,so i’ll give it a month after they finish the tour in Japan before it is released.If it’s not released by then,it’s never coming out.Or,they’ll just make some bullshit up about artwork or something.
As for Velvet Revolver…their first (and only album,so far) is atrocious;there’s probably 4 good songs on the album (5,if you have the tour edition disc).They just play completely average and bland rock.I’d take one leaked GNR tracks over 1000 Velvet Revolver albums anyday.
Tyler | 7/7/2007, 7:51 pm EST
Im excited about it. It will be huge from what ive heard its done they just working things out with the record company. Axl wants the marketing of the album to be well planned.
I could be wrong but I think this will be highest selling rock album since before napster.
If you think about it chinese democracy will be the equivalent of a greatest hits ablbum that would be realeased after axl rose and his new band releasing 3 or so albums.
And definately does not suck. whoever has listened to the songs that have leaked can agree on that.
Tyler | 7/7/2007, 7:52 pm EST
i wish i had a better version of rhiad and the bedouins
That guy Buddy | 7/26/2007, 9:41 pm EST
i just downloaded the full album from a website i won’t mention. I am listening to the 1st track, “Better” it’s called. it’s pretty good! lets see here… songs 2 and 3 sound like ballad’s. 4 is the title track, its rockin! 6, way too produced, 7 kicks ass! 8 & 9 live tracks? 10 poppy
Jeff D | 8/15/2007, 12:00 pm EST
After all this time, I have lost interest in GNR. So much time has passed and so much BS has been spread out that who really cares anymore??? I’ve moved on with different bands that deliver and just don’t “promise!”
Ex-Fan | 9/6/2007, 11:33 am EST
I agree with Jeff. Guns N Roses lost their relevancy around 1993. Axl had a chance to rekindle the demand for Guns N Roses a decade ago, but he dropped the ball. I’m over it. I have no plans to waste my money on Chinese Democracy when (if) it’s released. Someone will just copy it for me anyway. So F you, Axl.
Eduardo | 9/16/2007, 2:32 pm EST
tomorrow is september 17th and there wont be album yet
SAULGUNSNROSESFAN | 9/17/2007, 5:27 pm EST
IF AXL WANTS TO TAKE AGES OVER RELEASING N ALBUM THEN HE CAN. PHIL LYNOTT ONCE SAID THAT AN ALBUM WHICH TAKES OVER TWO YEARS TO MAKE IS STAGNATING, BUT HERE THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE. IT MUST BE HARD WHEN MEMBERS OF YOUR BAND KEEP LEAVING TO RELEASE AN ALBUM, AND THE LONGER IT TAKES, THE BETTER IT IS MORE LIKELY TO BE. BESIDES, IF THEY HAVE ALL THESE SONGS NOW THAT HAVEN’T BEEN RELEASED, THAT WILL MEAN MORE SONGS FOR THE NEXT CHINESE DEMOCRACY ALBUM AND IT CAN BE OUT QUICKER.
Martin | 9/17/2007, 5:45 pm EST
I’m sick of this crap. If it comes out it will be the first album I download illegally. That cornrowed freak will not get anymore of my money!
Jonny | 10/1/2007, 12:12 pm EST
I think never edit chinese democrazy maybe 2010??????
fabiancitoStone | 10/26/2007, 4:19 am EST
AXL YOUR TIME IS PAST GONE , YOU ARE FAT , ALMOST BOLD WITH SOME WEIRD FAKE DREADLOCK, I DON’T KNOW , SLASH IS TOO BIG AND TALENTED GUITAR ROCK HEROE THAT YOU COULD EVER HAD , YOU RE NOT ROBERT PLANT, AND SLASH COULD BE JIMMY PAGE , SLASH IS DOING ROCK AND ROLL WITH DUFF AND MATT, AND YOU ARE PLAYING WELLCOME TO JUNGLE YET , RIDICULOUS., ..SLASH FOREVER
I M A FAN FROM ARGENTINA
fabiancitoStone | 10/26/2007, 4:35 am EST
ANYWAY I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I ALREADY LISTEN 5 OR 6 TIMES ON THE ROLL THE SONG “BETTER ”
THE SONG IS GOOD , AND THE KIDS ARE PLAYING THE BEST OUT OF THEM ,BUT AXL VOICE IS NOT GOOD , THE MUSIC IS OVER HIS SHOULDERS , HIS TONE IS LOW , IS A SHAME , CAUSE I USED TO LOVE THIS GUY PRESCENCE ON STAGE , BUT NOW HE CAN BARELY MOVE , AND ALWAYS SO DRESS UP AND SHIT LIKE HE CANNOT CATCH A COLD OR SOMETHING
DON’T YOU THINK ?
MICK JAGGER AT 64 CAN DANCE BETTER ,,,
james | 11/5/2007, 5:23 pm EST
Please just bring the album, even half the album. Just something new for the fans who have been so patient and loyal to you Axl. I understand perfection, but 10 yrs is too long.
Martin | 11/9/2007, 1:59 pm EST
He doesn’t care about his fans. He knows that this is not going to sell like it would have if he put it out 10 years ago. I don’t care how good it is. He missed his chance and now he is too scared to release it because he knows it will be considered a flop. Just release the damn album so your fans who are not tired of your crap can buy it. It will enter the charts at number one but it will be off the charts in a few months after the release. Suck it up and move on!!!!!!!!!
DevSage | 11/12/2007, 1:00 pm EST
Guns N´ Roses,Chinese Democracy in stores in germany since yesterday ! Finally !
Heidisbcrich | 11/18/2007, 7:13 pm EST
You know, I’m not sure how to act. I’v been a fan since 1989 and I have no idea who Axl Roses is any more. I can’t tell you the last time I listened to a GNR CD but I can tell you that Velvet Revolver’s new CD has been in my player for the last 2 months. I’m going where the music is being made; sorry Axl but I’m just not that into you any more.
johnf-use-your-illusion | 12/22/2007, 2:09 pm EST
im a big GnR fan and i know what its like to feel impatient.its riddiculous the way hes carrying on,but ppl,that does not mean the album is shit,it may be great it might not be but still i wouldnt judge the contents of a closed box.wait for the album.and personally i think most of velvet revolvers stuff is shit but i still love slash!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Martin | 12/28/2007, 1:26 pm EST
JohnF haven’t you listend to all of the songs by now? I hope it’s a “new” album with tracks not all over the Internet on it but I don’t think so. I’ve heard all of the tracks and they already sound dated. They remind me of Filter’s first album.
Axl's left nipple | 7/28/2008, 7:07 pm EST
The Blues and Chinese Democracy are as good as gnr have ever done however a few of the other tracks i have heard dont seem to be all that good although i have only heard them when seeing them live, cant wait for the album and it will be the first one i dont actually download for free in almost 10 years! only band i will still pay money to download, just dont let me down axl or ill cut ya nuts!!
Andy | 10/23/2008, 6:52 am EST
I’m still a huge fan of their music to date, but for those calling this ‘Guns N’ Roses’ is crazy. This is just Axl using the band name, but there is no GN’R without Slash. He’s gonna lose money after he has to payout the 50 band members he’s had over the last 10 years who supposedly worked on this project.
