So is this going to be worth the wait or is it going to suck really bad?
My vote is that it will SUCK

i know i've been reading about this release for months now. i've been waiting to hear the album..
don't care what anyone else says.. i love axl.

They played about 6 new tunes off of it when we saw them back in November 2006 I think it was. They sounded pretty good. I remember one of the tunes being called "Madagascar." I predict a world tour next summer with the old lineup maybe even a major festival or two. Robin Finck is back with Nine Inch Nails so it's a really good time to reunite. I should get my people to call Slash's people......

I heard the leaked tracks ealier this year, it kind of had a prog feel to the material. Maybe it will be GnR's version of Kiss's the Elder. I'm intrigued nevertheless, I mean what does an album that cost 30 million to make sound like? If there are like 100 tracks that went into the making of it, they should just release a box set. Who is in the actual band now? Buckethead? Tommy Stinson?
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
I know Buckethead isn't I think Axl got ****ed at him and fired him awhile back. I keep hearing Stinson's gonna do a Replacements reunion so maybe it'll be an even better reason for a GnR reunion tour. When we saw them it looked like a Slipknot show with 9 or so people on stage at once........

I thought democracy would come to China long before the Chinese Democracy album was released.
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
It probably still will.........
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
I'm curious...I hope it's good. I'm sure I'll buy it.

Didn't Offspring attempt to name an album Chinese Democracy but couldn't?
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
I heard that was THE FOO FIGHTERS
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
I read that the Dr Pepper company were going to give every American a free can of Dr Pepper if and when Chinese Democracy is released.
Posted by Sam 'The Made Man' Hain (Member # 3150) on :
that was if the album gets released in 2008 so as of now Dr. Pepper might be in trouble
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
I'm still holding out for there to be an actual free China(communism falls) before the most postponed album in history will see the light of day. Actually Brian Wilson's Smile took decades.

"sources close to the situation told Billboard"
Doesn't seem that official to me.
I won't be holding my breath in anticipation...

Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
i read this morning that the release date is official. and that dr. pepper is going ahead with giving the free cans of soda away.
i heard one of the singles from the new album. and a lot of people are hating it - BIGTIME. but i'm loving it haha. don't know the name of the track i heard though? Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
ok the song i heard was CHINESE DEMOCRACY... shoulda known. it's already getting radio play, awesome. Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
Has anyone seen Steven Adler on CELEBITY REHAB???? Good gravy!
Posted by Toxic Sammy Hain (Member # 3150) on :
They've been playing the title track "Chinese Democracy" on the rock station at Music Choice and I must say that I'm very underwhelmed. The instrumentation sounds pretty darn good but Axl's vocals suck. Just like the first incarnation of GNR Axl is the weak link. Slash, Izzy, Dizzy, Steven, Matt, & Duff carried you the first time Axl and looks like your new band will have to do the same.
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
They have been playing the single since last week on the radio. The album has been getting decent reviews, don't know what to think of the new sound but it's more of a miracle it got released after all these years. Anyone in the US going to get their free Dr.Pepper tomorrow?
Posted by Toxic Sammy Hain (Member # 3150) on :
I don't know how to go about getting my free Dr. Pepper, I guess the company is going to go through with their promise but not aware how to collect.
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
Did anyone pick up the album aand a Doc. pepper? I saw the album today and almost picked it up then I realised the new Killers came out today and I got that.
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
I bought a Dr. Pepper and they gave me a free CD.
Just kidding....I didn't get it yet.

What are the guys from Velvet Revolver doing, now that Scott Weiland went back to Stone Temple Pilots?
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
as of yesterday you could still get the free dr. pepper just go to their website and put your info in they also have a number to call for the free drink if you have time to wait on the phone that is lol? dee Posted by jdocster (Member # 5752) on :
Heard the song "Better" off the new album on the local radio station today. Sounded good......
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
I'm probably going to pick it up this weekend. I think I have to actually hold it in my hand to believe it's out. Yep, I was afraid the Dr. Pepper thing was too good to be true, looks like some red tape. Bummer.

Scratch that. I have heard the song a few more times and am really starting to like it a lot. Have also heard "Better" which I don't like nearly as much but it might grow on me as well. Guess I'll have to break down and buy this CD.
