Billboard reports:

Like I said once before, I’m not believe this if this is actually on the shelves Nov. 23rd. If Axl pushes the release date back again for the 100th time, I give up on Guns N’ Roses.

On Nov. 23rd I will go to Best Buy to see if the album is on the shelves for myself. If it is, I’ll definitely pick it up.

Lets hope 14 years is worth the wait.

BREAKING NEWS: New Guns N’ Roses song to be included in “Body of Lies” movie…

First Axl Rose gave a new Gn’R song to Rock Band 2, next they give a new song to the movie “Body of Lies” that stars Russell Crowe and Leo Dicaprio, the film is directed by Ridley Scott. Gn’r will release a song titled “If the World” a song from their long awaited album “Chinese Democracy” to the film. The song will be played during the closing credits but it won’t be released on the soundtrack CD of “Body of Lies”. These are really good signs that “Chinese Democracy” may see the light of day this year.

Rollingstone reports:

I plan to see “Body Of Lies” in theater when it comes out ’cause the film looks good. Not because Gn’r has a song in the film now, I’m seeing it because I enjoy Ridley Scott movies.

Report: Duff McKagan doesn’t like being called a rock star…

Duff McKagan a former Gn’R man wrote a very good blog on how he doesn’t like being called a “rock star”. He explains how he doesn’t see himself being famous over music. He sees himself as a normal simple guy enjoying life, spending time with family and making music. He sees himself as a regular music lover like all of us.

Read Duff’s blog on it here (Duff himself is even replying to reader’s comments in his blog entries):

Great post Duff! I agree with you 100%, it’s good to see you don’t have an ego attitude like most so called “rock stars” have.

Report: Slash on Guns N’ Roses “Chinese Democracy” leaker, “I hope he rots in jail”…

Although Slash is no longer in the band Guns N’ Roses and never played guitar on the album “Chinese Democracy”, it seems as though Slash still has respect for Axl Rose and the new GN’R album too. The former GN’R man commented on the Chinese Democracy leaker Kevin Cogill saying that Slash hopes he rots in jail and goes on saying what Kevin did is going to hurt the music industry and the new album’s sales.

Kevin Cogill was arrested for leaking 9 tracks from “Chinese Democracy” to his blog and quickly spreaded across the internet. He was arrested by the FBI.

If you all look on the back of major label albums, there is an FBI Anti-Piracy warning on the back of each one. Piracy is illegal. The FBI has the right to arrest those for piracy or fine them which ever one is necessary.

So you may ask, why does the kid have to be arrested and not get sued by the RIAA, getting sued is better than being arrested? The truth is, it is not the RIAA’s responsibility to sue those who leak new albums early. All the RIAA does is sue those who illegally download music from online software, that’s all they do.

Leaking music early before an album is released without the band/artists permission is a federal law. Axl Rose owns the copyrights to those songs. If you own your own music and if someone steals it, you have the right to force legal action.

Axl Rose is doing the right thing here. I’m on his side on this. I hope the leaker rots in jail too and I hope the FBI punishes him pretty fucking hard. Stealing music from a band/artist is never a cool thing to do.

I copyright all of my own songs and if someone steals my music, I would pretty much do the same thing. Force legal action on the pirate.

Report: Chinese Democracy to be released exclusively to either Wal-Mart or Best Buy???

Look like the long awaited album “Chinese Democracy” may see the light of day this year after all. The band Guns N’ Roses is currently in negotiations to release the album through either Wal-Mart or Best Buy.

Billboard reports:

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003839499

The band would be insane if they release it through Wal-Mart, they should definitely release it through Best Buy. Wal-Mart is not that popular of a store and “Chinese Democracy” wouldn’t sell well through Wal-Mart. Best Buy is the way to go in my opinion. I hope Axl lets Best Buy release it because America is thirsty for our Dr. Pepper.

Hurry up Axl! 2008 is almost over….

I guess the new Guns N’ Roses song is the real deal, the band didn’t deny it on their official website yet, so it is indeed true that a song from “Chinese Democracy” will get on there.

The name of the new Guns N’ Roses song is “Shackler’s Revenge”.

Maybe this is a sign that “Chinese Democracy” may see the light of day this year?

Anyhow, as far as “Rock Band 2” goes, it sounds like a good set of songs. I don’t think I’ll buy any “Rock Band” video games, I like “Guitar Hero” better. I’ll stick with the “Guitar Hero” franchise, thank you.

Report: Guns N’ Roses to release new song for “Rock Band 2” video game…

According to sources, the band Guns N’ Roses is set to release a new song from their long awaited album “Chinese Democracy” for the upcoming “Rock Band 2” video game set to release this coming September. It appears that Axl Rose himself is a huge fan of the first “Rock Band” video game and he plays it himself. Yep, you heard that right, they will release a song from “Chinese Democracy” even if the album isn’t out yet.

It’s “Rock Band” vs. “Guitar Hero” at war competing with each other and that’s what this is all about. Music video games are becoming a hit and more mainstream in the music business, Axl feels this will be good marketing for “Chinese Democracy”.

This is gonna make Guitar Hero jealous, I’m sure they wanted a new song from Guns N’ Roses too.
