CHINESE DEMOCRACY!!!!!!
From the AV Club:
(Which, if you haven't figured, is the equivalent of CNN for me: it's where I get my news)
The NME reports that Axl Rose has finally turned in Chinese Democracy to his label Geffen Records. Geffen confirmed they have the album, and the label is currently negotiating money and rights issues with Rose. The album so far has cost $13 million and been in the works for 14 years, which means Chinese Democracy is the same age as some A.V. Clubbers back when the Use Your Illusion albums came out in 1991. It is rumored that a Guns N' Roses reality TV show is set to be broadcast to coincide with the release of the album.
BOSS! Recently I watched an UNDER REVIEW documentary on the USE YOUR ILLUSION albums, which reinvigorated my love for the last great hair band of my lifetime. Of course, GNR is so much more, but they are also so much awesome.
This is not the first time I've chronicled the legacy that is CD's production. But the move to Geffen shows just what a wicked snowball-down-a-hill momentum this thing has - it doesn't matter if its good, it just has to exist.
I'll buy it.
By the way, I wonder what Tracii Guns is up to?
