Seventeen Years And Twelve Bucks Later

Was Chinese Democracy worth the wait?
HERE is a review of the album and more inside stuff from the guy busted for leaking it on the internet.

Axl Rose Missing for 8 Weeks

The eccentric rocker has infuriated bosses at record label Geffen after disappearing without promoting the band’s long-awaited ‘Chinese Democracy’ album, which was released last week 15 years after the last Guns N’ Roses LP.
A source told The Sun: “People have been trying to contact Axl for two months and he’s completely AWOL .
“It is frustrating because the album would have had a much better chance of going to number one if he had only been prepared to show his face.
“You would have thought after spending all those years on an album you might do a few weeks of promotion."

It has been claimed Axl’s disappearance could be due to him entering into secret talks to reform the classic line-up of the band.

Free Dr. Pepper Day

The new Guns n' Roses album, Chinese Democracy has finally arrived. One of the most highly anticipated albums in rock history.
For those who heard about Dr Pepper's offer to give each and every American a free can of soda if Chinese Democracy is released in 2008, Guns N' Roses wants to make sure every Guns N' Roses fan, and every other American, gets what was promised.
Apparently, only those who go to the soda company's Web site today (Sunday, November 23, 2008) and sign up for a free 20 ounce soda coupon will get the free can. Guns N' Roses encourages all those interested to sign up for their coupon on Sunday, collect their drink and celebrate the release of Chinese Democracy!
