GN'R 'Chinese Democracy' Is Finished
artist: guns n' roses	date: 04/14/2008	category: upcoming releases

Guns N' Roses have finally finished their latest album - after 14 years.

The band's record company have reportedly received a completed copy of "Chinese Democracy" - which is said to have cost more than $13million (£6.5million) to record - and are now in negations with Axl Rose over money and rights to the songs.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the next Guns N' Roses album since 1993 when the band released their covers album 'The Spaghetti Incident?', but have seen the release date of 'Chinese Democracy' continually been pushed back.

Last month, Axl said he was "surprised and very happy" about an offer by soft drink company Dr Pepper which offered a free can of the drink to every American if 'Chinese Democracy' is released this year.

Writing on the band's website, he said: "We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr Pepper with our album "Chinese Democracy", as for us, this came totally out of the blue."

A Guns N' Roses reality TV show is reportedly in the pipeline to coincide with the release of the album.

Note that it's 'in negations', in Axl terms that means it's still a long way off

Pretty much the excact same story was posted here last week but oh well. If I was the label I would protest and wait 14 years before I release the cd. Or if I was an Axl Rose fan I would wait at least 14 years till I buy or download the album. And I find it kind of funny how the record is "finished" just a month or so after this whole dr. pepper thing. But I also remember Axl saying the album was finished over a year ago but most people were able to see through the bullshit. Even though the record is handed over to the label now, I still won't believe any of this until the album is actually in stores. I heard a few of the songs online that are suppose to be on the album and I thought it was crap. Hopefully people will see past the hype and not buy the album unless it is actually good. I could be wrong and it could be a great record, but I wouldn't bet on it.

$13 million.

I've known films with budgets less than that.

In this day and age it is virtually impossible to make a profit from an album that costs that much... Trust me I believe that is the reason for the delay!! I heard all the songs that were leaked and they are f**king amazing apart from the studio version of Madagascar.. The companies are trying to figure out how to make money out of this... But it wont happen... But either way from what Ive heard... Its gonna be a classic..
