    Apparently best buy have negotiated an exclusive deal with the band for retail of the album in the US.
    Still no release date totally confirmed AFAIK.

    Judging by the songs we've heard so far, its already a decent album, albeit not amazing or anything considering the long wait.
    Well, I think the long wait would just add problems, you could end up being overcritical, and overpolishing your album.
    Not a fan of Shackler's Revenge, I must admit.
    Really? I liked it a lot.

    as the saying goes there will be democracy in china before this album is released

    Well it is technically socialist (Watered down communism ftw)

    (Like Vietnam, which is democratic but there is only one party:D)

    I genuinely dislike Axl's voice so it'll be muck regardless of the musicianship.

    Lads, no matter how good/sh1t this album is, it's still gonna go top 10, maybe 5, very possibly number 1 because it's THAT G'n'R album we've been waiting years for, where in the meantime the integral members have left, formed their own supergroup, recorded two albums, lost their singer to a drug habit, that singer has gone on to start touring with his old group and is also releasing a solo album. And all THAT in the latter half of the wait for THAT album.

    It's just gonna sell, no matter who likes it or not, and it'll be in our faces no matter how much we like it!

    The cover art is on the Best Buy website alongside the tracklisting. But then again we are also supposed to be getting an update from Axl over the next couple of days. Dr Pepper has also agreeded to go ahead with its promise of releasing free Dr Pepper to everyone in America. Which is nice of them. So we just wait for the update and then everything will be cool.

    spot on. just having the G N' R name on the front is enough to shift ****loads of it.

    We will definitely see ACDC levels of interest when this album comes out.
    i never realized there were so many ACDC fans til this week.
    GNR are going to bring out all the dormant fans for this album and all the new curious fans - it will sell loads and you will be able to get it for 13.90 in tesco.

    if they do a world tour it will sell out everywhere.
    GNR were one of the biggest bands on the planet and they still are.
    i am actually looking forward to it...:D

    It'll be good to see it finally released, here's hoping it's actually good! :)

    Judging by the songs we've heard so far, its already a decent album, albeit not amazing or anything considering the long wait.

    Buckethead's There Was A Time solo which is likely to close the album is one of the best solos ever. Its a great song. As is Chinese Democracy, Better, Madagascar, Catcher in The Rye and the Untitled song, probably called Prostitute.

    The Blues is ok but the rest of the album isn't great. Not a fan of Shackler's Revenge, I must admit.

    Axl has done an incredible job of combining all the individual parts and instruments to make complete tunez. The lyrics are cheesy at times but there are some great melodies, most notably on the untitled song. The solos of BH and Finck, so often critisized for their renditions of the classics, are truly amazing on the new stuff.


    Don't forget IRS and There was a time :)
