All My Punk Kid Readers Will Have No Idea Who This Guy Is...

"Is this a publicity stunt????

NINE tracks from Guns N' Roses' long long long awaited new album, Chinese Democracy, were leaked online Wednesday on a website which quickly received a cease-and-desist letter from the band.

The album is said to be 14 years in the making.

Of the nine songs leaked, six of them have already leaked in one unfinished form or another. But the ones released yesterday seem to be close to the finished versions.

The album was originally on Interscope's release schedule in March 2007.

But later in March of this year, the band signed a new management deal with Irving Azoff and Andy Gould. That's when they began discussions with Interscope to release the album.

Work on the album originally began back in 1994 and since then Axl has spent $13 million in production. And also gotten rid of his orignal band members.

Apparently the soft drink Dr. Pepper, which is tied in with Interscope it seems, even offered to send a
free can of soda to every person in America if Chinese Democracy arrived anytime in 2008.

Well, send a can to everyone except Guns N' Roses former members, Slash and Buckethead!"

This brings up a couple of questions in my mind...

#1. How in the heck do you spend 13 million dollars on a record?

#2. Isn't at least some of that record gonna' sound 14 years old?

#3. Who's gonna' buy this? Would you?

You spend 13 mil by recording literally hundreds of tracks with first-call session musicians, expensive producers and engineers, and locking out expensive studios, and then throwing those tracks out.
