GNR's 'Chinese Democracy' Gets Release Date - Nov. 23

More than a decade after its conception, Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" will finally see the light of day before year's end, sources close to the situation confirm to Billboard. As first reported here, the set will be a Best Buy exclusive and will be available Sunday, Nov. 23, rather than the usual Tuesday.
Beyond enticing pre-Thanksgiving shoppers, the move is tied to the structure of Best Buy's sales week, which runs from Sunday to Saturday. As such, "Chinese Democracy" would not be eligible to chart on The Billboard 200 until the week of Dec. 1, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
In the run-up to release date, album track "Shackler's Revenge" will debut in the video game "Rock Band 2," while a portion of "If the World" is playing over the end credits in the new Leonardo DiCaprio/Russell Crowe film "Body of Lies."

Axl Rose doesn’t make GNR. He’s just lucky he gets the right to use the band name.

I thought the same thing about GNR when Izzy Stradlin left...
BTW - you have an EXCELLENT tag line.

While the album won’t be worth the wait (of more than 11 years), I expect that I’ll enjoy it anyway.
To: Scythian
is this the same album they recorded years ago? Or has there been tweaking along the way?

They’ve made and remade the songs multiple times through a number of different line-ups in the studio.
To: Loyolas Mattman
I feel this is too early. Four years too early!! I really thought the release of this album would coincide with the Mayan calender!!

Does it come witha free bottle of Geritol? What is he? 73 years old now?
Guns and Posers stunk in the the day and they are beyond lame now.

Is this the same Axl Rose who got his a** kicked by Tommy Hilfiger in a barfight?

I hope they’ll accept a 1981 Mick Kelleher baseball card as payment. I also have a bitchin’ set of screwdrivers.

Nyet! Buckethead left GnR back in '04. Axl doesn't deserve that caliber of musician. Seriously, Buckethead is one of the most complex, dynamic guitarists in ages. He's way better than that damn bucket betrays lol
