Guns N’ Roses: Chinese Democracy is ready
After 14 years, $13million and a lot of false promises, ‘Chinese Democracy’ is reportedly ready for pressing.
Hailed as the best Guns N’ Roses album ever by lead singer the album has talked about in the press and music circles for so long that everyone began to accept that it was never going to happen.
Now, Geffen records has announced that they have received the production ready run of the album and are now haggling with Axl Rose over the finer financial details.
This is still a stumbling block and something the ever erratic Rose could pull the album over – so I am not about to get excited by this news.
I can’t wait though. If it’s anything like Appetite for Destruction or Use Your Illusion then FINALLY we’ll have a proper Rock band again. Everyone will comment about the band not being Guns N’ Roses without Slash and Sorum – and as much as that argument is valid – Good music is good music. If Chinese Democracy delivers all that it is hyped to be – I’d bet Slash will be given his place as a previous band member and that will be that.
Still no release details though….
The tracks on the torrents seem average. I love the track ‘Better’, and maybe one or two others. If it comes out, I will give it a listen, but I suspect there might be democracy in China before it does.
