Ask any Guns n' Roses fans what they've been waiting well over a decade for and they'll let you know it's not a reunion tour, it's an album. Namely, "Chinese Democracy," the oft-mentioned, never completed album Axl Rose has been working on for, oh, about 13 years. One fan finally had enough of waiting and somehow snagged 9 tracks from the album and posted them on a rock site Antiquiet.com.
I always said that the more that Axl and Geffen jerked around trying to figure out how to release this finally finished album that we’ve all been waiting over 13 years for, the greater the chances would be that it would slip out of a pressing plant or office somewhere and wind up in the hands of some ***hole with a blog. So… Hey, I told you so.
There you have it. Said blogger has released the tracks into the ether and their only an illegal download away. I personally haven't downloaded or listened to them but I'd be surprised if they weren't amazing. It's easy now to think of Axl Rose as an arrogant ass - and, to a degree, he is - but one quick trip through any of G n' R's albums ("The Spaghetti Incident," notwithstanding) will be a quick remind of just how good that band was. Whether you choose to steal it or wait for its release, it will be interesting to see what 13 years of work can do to an album.
