GN'R: New Album Next Month

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 told Billboard.

The set will be a Best Buy exclusive and will be available Sunday, November 23, rather than the usual Tuesday.

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."

In addition, GNR's seminal 1987 full-length debut, "Appetite For Destruction," will be reissued on vinyl on October 28 via Interscope.

The band's last new studio albums were the simultaneously released "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II" in September 1991. A covers set, "The Spaghetti Incident?," followed in 1993, and featured some of the last GNR recordings from original guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan.

This spring, soft drink manufacturer Dr Pepper offered to send a free can of the beverage to "everyone in America" (excluding ex-GNR members Slash and Buckethead) if "Chinese Democracy" were to arrive anytime during the calendar year 2008. A Dr Pepper spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.

Thanks for the report to Reuters.

yes you can, you've waited SEVERAL years, you'll be fine.

If this record really comes out it will fully dissappoint everyone who actually cares about this band... I've never liked GNR, and can see this flop from miles away.

[jshwak]

A Dr Pepper spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.

OMG that is Hilarious.. I love it.. go GnR .. ha ha ha

[ShadowsThatMove]

oh well, dr pepper's s**t anyway.

[Axl_Tyler]

Finally! I can't wait either. I'll probably be one of those guys waiting outside the record store for it to open the day it comes out ha! Totally epic.

[SmileOfHavok]

LOL. Okay. I'll believe it when I see it.

[Metalxhed89]

I can't even imagine the logistics behind getting a can of Dr Pepper to everyone in America

I care about the band and i'm sure i'm gonna love this album, I think it's gonna do just fine.

I really hope this is finally it, all the articles have been leading up to this for weeks and I really can't wait to here it.

[LifesSweetDrug]

If there isn't any news to tell us why not tell us about a possible release date for 'Democracy, hey why not throw in something about VR and Slash with their next albums?

P.S If it is true, can an American please send me their DR. Pepper if they don't like it?

I SOMEHOW CAN'T GET EXCITED ABOUT A GUNS N ROSES ALBUM... WHY? BECAUSE IT'S JUST AXL USING THE GUNS N ROSES NAME TO ATTRACT IDIOTS THAT DON'T KNOW AXL ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO START A SOLO CAREER... AND IF THIS ALBUM IS ANYTHING LESS THAN GENIUS AFTER A DECADE OF PRODUCTION I WOULD BE DISSAPPOINTED...

[emhaslam]

[cocodrilo83]

careful who posts all the songs when the album comes out, you'd be facing 30 years in prison.

[sincewhen??]

anyone notice the Guns m' Roses in the picture?
xD

[mchugh92]

lol the dr. pepper shows you how desperate axl is to get people tp buy the album, tbh i dont see why he would be desperate anyway, a lot of people are intendin to buy it, and why wait for democracy to get my dr. pepper when i can just go into my local store and buy one, they dont cost that much anyway, and if anyone here is brave enough they could try out for a 5 finger discount lol, anyway, dont think this will be anythin special, wasnt a big fan of G'nR to begin with, and i dont think axls new album will make me a fan either, and axls voice gives me headaches lol, thats my opinion anyway

[sicksideburns33]

buckethead drinks fruit punch gatorade, take that axl

Won't happen.

Are you retarded, or is you Caps Lock key just broken?

Also, I find this hard to believe, but will hopefully be awesome when it comes out

Coincidence...

[SnowDog1993]

i gave up/lost interest in them along time ago so the album better be worth the waite

[guitrmastr]

I'm just looking forward to, and hoping for, the FREEE Dr. Pepper. The album though... I guess kind of... looking forward... to it...

[Sonic Blast]

No way! I want my dr pepper, and i can't wait to hear it. but it's too good to be true.

[NorCalLos]

Anyone know where I can stream any of the songs? I'm at work and not supposed to download.

[cj878]

no wai

[_Lewis]

Dr. Pepper spokesperson did give a comment after the Billboard article, I can't remember where it was now but it was quite funny.

The GN'R thread is going to get quite busy within the next few weeks I presume.

[goon316]

2 words: COLOSSAL FAILURE

[melinbrawl]

thank god...

[saad_nirvana]

this isnt a guns n roses album,its an axl rose album

[untalented]

next month? I've heard that before.

[saad_nirvana]

and guys,PLEASE SPARE YOUR DIGNITY AND STOP REJOICING OVER A MEASLY ONE CAN OF DR PEPPER!

[tydhurst]

Do you reckon Axl Rose is just rushing this album out by the end of the year to get his free can of Dr Pepper?

[Darth_Qurashi]

lol awesome. i already downloaded, i think , i dono if its the right one. but i'l probably download the official release when it comes out, if it comes out. But i think we're all more concerned about how the hell is dr. pepper gonna give a free can to everyone in america. i guess I'll just cross the border from Canada, just to get a free dr. pepper. mwuahahaha.

[sunnyo]

I only just got into GnR ballad about a week ago. I hope they have some ballad kinda songs on this album, and not the heavier kinda style they are used to.

[Empathica1928]

Oh god please let it happen, I CANNOT ****ing wait.

You mean apart from the last 11 years from the original release date?
The leaked stuff sounds decent, but not sure about it still.

[Empathica1928]

pretty much but then again I get excited every time they announce a release date because in the back of my mind I keep thinking 'THIS TIME IT'S REAL'

[NorCalLos]

this isnt a guns n roses album,its an axl rose album

I'm tired of people saying this. Everyone knows that already, but it's the closest thing to a real gnr album than there's going to be any time soon. Technically, Use Your Illusions weren't GNR either cuz they didn't have Steven Adler. Velvet Revolver damn sure ain't GNR. Slash and Duff are cool players, but a lead guitarist and bass player need a songwriter and they don't have one. Also, Matt Sorum is lame. I'm not expecting Chinese Democracy to be a classic along the lines of Appetite, but I'll bet a 40 Oz. of Pabst to anyone and everyone that it will be better than any album by Velvet Revolver, Slash's Snakepit, or Slash's "solo" album.

Wow, I sound pretty upset.

If taco bell can give away a free taco to everyone, I'm sure Dr. Pepper can pull this off. Maybe an internet coupon 2-4 cans per ip address.

[Johnny Trash]

There's been official release dates before.
The thing all these articles have in common is that they've never been followed up by an actual CD..

If the CD comes out, I would love it to the be the biggest Rick Roll stunt ever...

GUNS N ROSES CHINESE DEMOCRACY:
Track 1 - Never Gonna Give You Up

[Danielmgardner]

Good to hear... but it won't be the same without the other members XD

[theotherguy7145]

ok, i'm not a fan of the new GnR, in fact the new stuff stinks compared to appetite, but i can't help feel really excited that Axls FINALLY releasing the record!

[Lil Macker]

It does sound as if it's gonna come out, but I'm still feeling a bit skeptical.

[Psycho Pigeon]

after listening to a lot of the songs that are guna be on the album, it's pretty good and i want more.

[gerardk]

Its finally coming out!!!Its 2 gud 2 b true!!

[CJRocker]

The problem with this CD is if it comes out, if it is anything short of the best record in creation, it will not have been worth the wait.

[This1GoesTo11]

I won't even believe it when I see it.

[Ch1cken L!ps?!?]

Axl will definatly release Chinese Democracy now, just to piss Dr.Pepper off, who by the way will NOT give anyone free drinks.

[Reebokanonymous]

I couldn't find it on Best Buy's website, but this time around seems more legit. They actually have a deal with Best Buy, and I think they're playing on that Dr. Pepper thing, too, which is good for me because I love Dr. Pepper. I just hope this isn't like that fateful March 7th when I cried myself to sleep. Damn you Axl! I love you, though.

[static_music34]

I'll bet anyone a can of Dr. Pepper that he'll push it back a couple months for last minute touches.

[jefffelker40]

i hate best buy, i guess i'll have to run in and run out as fast as possible.

[petey gunnz]

i want my doctor pepper

[GeoffreySmis]

holy sh!t, its about damn time ive waited whos knows how long for this cd to come out. hell yea im excited

i've heard some of the songs and like them a lot so i'm looking forward. have always been a GNR fan. to think this will be a flop is a little ridiculous though. even if a small % of the original fans buy this cd, there will be a lot of sales. is it going to be #1...no, but it will do better than expected.

[aig91]

[Wakisazhi]

I'm still wondering how the Dr. Pepper thing will work without a hitch. Even if it's a sign up and we'll send thing there is bound to be loads of cans that will end up damaged or exploded en-route since they'd have to send them one by one unless they did SUPER THICK packaging to keep them from being damaged (still can't prevent the cans from getting over shaken though due to clumsy mail people). It just doesn't seem likely it'll work without something going wrong.

[ChucklesMginty]

I won't believe it until it's in my hand XD

[Jamie_W]

It has never been given an official date before, even in that Axl letter it was only tentative.

We know this date is real because Bestbuy have an exclusive deal for it and employees were informed a short while ago and played three songs.

[dfresh91]

i want my free dr.pepper

[Ricky4635]

I don't beleive it is coming out. Not even for second. Haven't they been doing this for the last decade and how is Dr. Pepper going to give EVERYONE a pop?

[y-e-a-r-z-e-r-o]

Guns n' roses , "new" album.....
free dr. pepper

[Sean-Man]

about god damn time eh?

[Da G Man]

But we've heard the preview tracks and they're shit so why does anyone care?

[dutch5367]

I will be at Best Buy Sunday to get it. Although I've only heard the one song and didn't really like it, but want to hear the rest of it.

[Rocker_94]

Axl deserves an e-cookie for this.
So...do you get a Dr. Pepper if you live in Canada?
Or are we left in the dust like Slash and Buckethead?

[bjovi400]

ill be upset if they come out on the due date and say "We're sorry, but there never was a Chinese Democracy. we thought it would be one hell of a joke!"

yea, or Axl gets pissed and scraps the whole project because it was released by that one dude


i just want my free Dr. Pepper...

wait...


WATCH DR.PEPPER SAY THEY WERE JOKING!!!!!

AHH SHIT!!!!!

[Reebokanonymous]

I really like "Better" so I'm definitely buying the album. UG pretty much copy and pasted the article from Billboard, but the Billboard article does have a quote from the Vice President of marketing at Dr. Pepper. It said:

"We're waiting to hear about 'Chinese Democracy' just like all the other GNR fans," Dr Pepper VP of marketing Tony Jacobs tells Billboard. "But if the rumors are true, we're putting the Dr Pepper on ice."

[radioplay]

im not interested in the album at all anymore,i have exceedingly low expectations for it,but hell yes i want a Dr. Pepper!!!11!1!!!!!

[dgme92]

Finally, this is it. I've heard the leaks and they rock, I'm expecting great things from this album.

They said something along the lines of providing an online voucher you can print and take to the shops.

I hear a bunch of people saying it will suck, but hey, its GNR, your gonna buy the album. don't deny it.

How much do you wanna bet that its gonna suck?

In my post above, I mentioned I'd be willing to bet anyone a 40 Oz. of Pabst Blue Ribbon that it will be better than anything by Velvet Revolver or Slash's Snakepit.

[[travis]]

It's not going to come out. Knowing Axl he'll be "Wait,wait, we need to add more guitar, and drums on this song." That's pretty cheap not to include Buckethead and Slash on the Dr. Pepper deal. Buckethead's an awesome guitarist, but when he joined Guns N Roses, it just didn't sound like them. Axl should just call the band something else, because it was only GNR when all the guys were together.

i just thought of something, what if they have little tiny cans of dr pepper that they will hand you if you buy the album at best buy, like 6 oz cans, i don't even like the stuff, it's a bummer the album is only through best buy, because it's going to be a good one, best buy blows.

[Msu_Man04]

Is it bad that I want the Dr. Pepper more than the new album itself?

Still, though, pretty sweet.

[SharpObject]

It's almost as if it's actually going to happen..

[Confusius]

checked.

[SRV59]

holy ****ing shit balls there finally realeasing it?!?!

[SurfinWithSatch]

If the album isn't released people will be dissapointed (again). If the album is released and is anything short of a masterpiece, it will be shunned. However if it does manage to live up to somewhere in the region of 12 years in the making, it could possibly spark what I like to call a "rock revival" and perhaps rock n roll will dominate the mainstream once again...a little optimistic by me I know but I think it's possible.
Before anyone says they don't want rock n roll to be mainstream again....don't lie, because I know the majority of people would like to be able to turn on any random radio station and hear a face melting solo.

I don't think Rock and Roll was EVER mainstream. It's always been the Devil's favourite genre and I think it should stay that way! Also, I doubt this album will be any good, but still, we can hope!

oh sweeeettt perfect news for my birthday and to think about it this album's been in production for as long as I've been alive. The Dr. Pepper doesn't hurt either but if they follow through that's gonna cost them millions :O

[Victor Escobar]

Yes free Dr Pepper.cant wait for it,o yea whooho(sarcastic) Chines Democracy is coming out. Isnt that said once a year.

[guitargodwannab]

bout time lol

[Smithsc]

Cool, if it happens!

[RockUAway]

For those of you who say it sucks, go top it.

Yeah, I bet you cant. I bet %100 of people who say that can't even make it in the top 200, yet alone a 1 hit wonder, yet alone achieve nearly %1.5 of what guns did. not even what snake pit did.

And there are other leaked tracks, besides, shackler's revenge is an absolutely amazing song. So are 4 out of the 5 other leaks that I know of.

[SlashFan810]

I think they'll have some computer program at stores where they sell Dr. Pepper that certify whether or not you had one before, by ID number or something...that way you can simply go to the store and get one. I'll probably give the album a listen but I'm not expecting anything great, it's more of a spectacle than a musical thing at this point.

[cornmancer]

Thank god, now I don't have to find the day on my canlendar called "eventually" to write Chinese Democracy comes out. On a side note the guy who said that for Dr. Pepper probably got his ass fired. Also everyone at Dr. Pepper is pissing their pants right now.

[cornmancer]

One last thing I just noticed, Geffen isn't the only company who's gonna be in major debt after this album is realeased.

[skyfire322]

If everyone recycles their one can of Dr. Pepper, maybe we can get out of this economic slump.

[F***]

Finally! 'Chinese Democracy' is going to be released.

[Jk3y]

"A Dr Pepper spokesperson was not immediately available for comment."

the spokesman is probably like "...Sh*t@! they actually released it"

But I'm in Australia so I don't get a dr pepper =(

and does anyone have the tracklisting? if it isn't at least a double album then I'm gonna pissed

[ilsacrificio]

I'm waaaay more excited about a free Dr. Pepper, honestly.

I'll believe this when it happens.

anyone heard of album release delays?

axl roses anus will explode
therefore the album will be delayed

who cares bout GnR, bring on the Dr. Pepper !!

I don't expect much from this. Call it whatever you want but this won't sound like GnR at all.

it may possbly be a good album. but for those wanting an appetite 2, or illusion 2 are gonna be way dissapointed.

None of the new songs are "really GNR" if you're talking about Appetite, Use Your Illusions, GNR Lies, etc. But it is some awesome material. The leaks are great. It is fantastic. For how good these leaks are it doesn't bother me that Slash and co. left because it is great modern music.

It's not really a slim chance when BestBuy are saying it is set, and Billboards. Considering BestBuy are stocking the albums if they say November 23rd it seems pretty good chances.

Spaghetti wasn't that bad though, I thought it was good. Sure, it was covers, but they were great. And if Chinese Democracy was to be like Death Magnetic (in terms of the Metallica come-back from St. Anger) that would be cool, except obviously production quality would be higher

[Luke200420]

This reminds me of the time this stupid cd almost came out at the of 2006. It kept getting delayed and then they said they we're gonna wait until 2007 and then it magically never came out. Well, if it does happen dr pepper is going out of bussiness.

[\m/(>_<)\m/]

ha! how many times have we heard this?! its bollocks. i'll eat my hat if it comes out, if he was going to release it it would be out by now

[momowagon]

Honestly, after all this I think the album is gonna suck. GNR with no slash is not really GNR at all. it's just an axl solo album. I'm way more excited for the dr. pepper. I love that stuff...

Slash never made the old Guns what they were. Most of the sound came from the rhythm section of Steven/Matt - Izzy - Duff. Yes, Slash wrote the epic solo's which gave it a great touch and at times some cool intro's, but the backbone of the famous Guns N' Roses was the rhythm section.

[HammettFTW]

oh how i wish i was in america to see that day with the free dr pepper. it should be known as: the day of the dr pepper. maybe i should pay several thousand for a return flight ticket to america, get my dr pepper, then return back to aus. it would be worht it.

Before anyone says they don't want rock n roll to be mainstream again....don't lie, because I know the majority of people would like to be able to turn on any random radio station and hear a face melting solo.


I don't think Rock and Roll was EVER mainstream. It's always been the Devil's favourite genre and I think it should stay that way! Also, I doubt this album will be any good, but still, we can hope!

Wtf are you talking about? Rock and Roll was never mainstream? You need to get your head out from under that rock you've been living under the past 40 years.

Yes, and the pope is a water buffalo.

that was hilarious! lol

[Brain245]

Hahahaha, what's funny is that my first question upon reading the title was "Does this mean I get a free dr. pepper?" and then they actually mentioned that.

[Donkey Fly]

I hope for music's sake that this album doesn't suck. I hate Axl...he's a derk but after EVERYTHING that has been speculated and after ALL the articles on UG about it, If it sucks in the slightest (which It will), I fear for the future of the world.

[bmxsulli]

its not even guns n roses anymore. and ive heard some songs from it. the best song on it is sill a bad guns n roses song.
itll determinately sell because of all of the old fans seeking great new music. im a fan of them, ill admit to that, but since slash left theres no hope. axl cant write songs, it took him 3 years to write november rain, without the ending (which makes the song)
and now its taken him over a decade to write a terrible album.

it will sell, theres no doubt in my mind itll sell. but everyone will be disappointed once they do buy it.
and then axl will either fire everyone in the band and claim hell write a new album soon, or hell finally realize that his stubborn ways and anger cost the world of a great band.

[Andy2k64]

we'll get the exact same article in a month's time! I would respect Axl if he actually let go of the g n r name n do his own thing

[tommilee]

its not ever going to come out and it sounds shite anyway seen then play songs off it live an its not good

sorry guise you wont get your dr pepper

[mortengh]

i think chinese democracy will suffer from high expectations considering how long it's taken to produce the record. The record will probably be listenable and fairly good, but no modern Appetite for Destruction.

[jeremessmore]

i'm more excited for the dr pepper, i've heard the songs that the promo'd and they really suck, i think that axl only kept the name to sell albums, the old gn'r will be missed

[Nightmare_21]

omg! omg! o.m.f.g.! FINALLY! THE TIME HAS COME WHERE I CAN FINALLY GET MY FUCKING FREE DR. PEPPER!!!

[Blackholesun00]

yeah right! if it does come out then it will obviously not live up to the hype.

[Tubyboulin]

so help me god, if UG is lying...

Ill deffinitly pick this up, just to say i waited 10 years for an album. I was only 5 or 6 when they started though :P

Does anyone know how many tracks are going to be on this record? Last time I read about 40+ or so.

gotta agree with you! slash's guitar style(love it or hate it) was the gnr sound not axl's baby tantrums. after appetite they lost it anyway so this album should dissappoint. sorry gnr fans.

Everyone i know says its axl's voice was the trademark of gnr, and even though axls voice is amazing, without steven adler, izzy, duff, or slash, they wouldnt have been as good as they were... Which is why no one cares about them now. I won't be surprised if this album doesnt sell that much.

It's not intended to sound the same. Musical wise they've moved on to a more modern sound.

[GuitarCrazyFrog]

There is no way to call this CD now. A decade of preduction, so it will either be epic or horribly stupid. It's definetly not gonna sound like old Gnr, thats easy to call, but that doesn't mean it will sound bad. But as for the Dr. Pepper thing? I bet there will be a man at the check out line of Best buy giving one to whoever bought it. Simple and easy way to do it.

You can download it dude, it was leaked ages ago. It's amazing, really, really beautiful. Trust me, it won't disappoint anyone it's great.

I find it absolutley absurd to see the 'do people still care?' comments. If you have to ask that question you're an idiot. Of course people still care, the fact this thread is as long as it is is testament to that, the websites, the blogs, the leaks, the 2006 gigs; people care a lot.

And as for the quality of the material, I like it. If you were expecting another Appetite then thats your problem as you were never gonna get it. The music is the thing you judge the album by, not whether Slash is still there or the name on the album cover.

There is no way to call this CD now. A decade of preduction, so it will either be epic or horribly stupid. It's definetly not gonna sound like old Gnr, thats easy to call, but that doesn't mean it will sound bad. But as for the Dr. Pepper thing? I bet there will be a man at the check out line of Best buy giving one to whoever bought it. Simple and easy way to do it.

Yeah, so they might give away about 50 cans for free then?

I want my Dr. Pepper. If they refuse to send them i say we should get as many people as possible to boycott the soft drink until they live up to what they said.

I called them today. They said they would do it.
