New Single Available For Streaming At Geffen.com
The first single and the title track of Guns N' Roses' long-awaited album, "Chinese Democracy," finally hit the airwaves today on radio stations worldwide. The full song is now also available for streaming at Geffen.com.
"Chinese Democracy - Guns N Roses"
Chinese Democracy has finally arrived. One of the most highly anticipated albums in rock history, the long-awaited Chinese Democracy marks the first album of new material from Guns N’ Roses since 1991’s simultaneous release of Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II. With a frenzied energy, Guns N’ Roses arrived on the music scene in the mid-‘80s and rock was never the same. Now the enormously influential G N’ R is ready to rock once again.
The first live performance of "Chinese Democracy" was on January 1, 2001 at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, Nevada. That was also Guns N' Roses first concert in over seven years. The song is reportedly written Axl Rose and Josh Freese.
Although some album tracks leaked this summer, this is the first authorized new music from the group in nine years.

The Best Buy track listing for Chinese Democracy has once again changed. Every song is listed twice. No new songs. The order is the same. Every song is listed twice. I hope this is some mind game that ends in a surprise of a double album, meaning another CD of tracks.

HOT FUCK, sounds WAY better than ever before!!! The added guitars are freakin killer, and just on a whole sounds more layered and exciting, without being too much.
History in the making, folks.

New song is fantastic.
Just checked Best Buy's site and there's now a proper GnR CD header on when you search for the album.
Holy Shit - it looks like it's finally gonna come out!

This is sooo off topic, but I nearly fell off the chair when I saw this article:
"Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole has revealed that original Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan has offered to lend them his band to tour with."

XFM in the UK also played it around an hour ago, brilliant song, love the changes made to it.

This is so cool!
This version is different, the vocals are different, the guitar are different.
It took the song to a whole new level!
I was very adamant about just changing some parts of the song to look different.
I always thought, "How can the demos differ from the official songs? It's the same song, we already know them!"
I was wrong, right now it feels that I only heard to songs from "Chinese Democracy".
The title song and "Schackler's Revenge".
I don't know about you guys, but to me it feels like we have more 12 "unheard" songs to go! No only 3 as a lot of people is saying!
Peace

Sounds f'n great. There's not one dull moment in the track. If people do not like this song then there is something wrong with their ears!

Is it just me or does the leak sound twice as good as the new streamed single? I'm a bit worried they've watered the song down. I suppose it's in 128 verses 320 but WHAT THE FUCK?
10/22/2008 | 5:59:53 PM by Axl

That wind at the beginning as the guitar riff starts up is the sound of a new band sweeping into the music landscape to kick some ass ; P

Has anyone heard feedback from the stations? I was listening to the radio this morning and they advised it had been played 20 times since 4 AM and the response was very low like 7 outta 20 liked it.

is this true???? kinda off topic, but a friend of mine who happen to be at the Galpin Autosport event this past weekend in (get this) North Hills, SWEARS that GNR along with Ozzy Ozzborne were actually performing there.....i dont know i call BS, but am just wondering if anyone else heard about this????
10/22/2008 | 8:51:47 PM by JerryBronsen
The official site finally got updated but its just a front page and nothing else.
10/22/2008 | 9:46:47 PM by PennyLane
AxlzRoxchic: Slash was there performing together with Ozzy, Camp Freddie and others... So your friend didn't exactly tell you lies, lol.
10/22/2008 | 11:25:09 PM by Bear
Alright, after about 30 times in a row, I think I just burned myself out on the song. I'm so used to hearing Better right afterwards, I need to go listen to something less exciting and chill down.
10/23/2008 | 12:21:29 AM by Misty
All hail Bumblefoot! The dude is a legend...no doubt his fingers are behind the new guitar shreddery...
Official word almost exactly one month before release...cant say i didnt suspect it...
10/23/2008 | 7:46:13 AM by saturnine
i agree with moralpanik...i feel the leak was so much better. not to be a partypooper cause i'm stoked but that single does sound watered down?
anyways rock the fuck on....I'M EXCITED!!

@ BIG ERN

This is a perfect open track. It really whets the appetite (for destr...Chinese Democracy?), makes you want more.
2:15-3:00 the two "even with an iron fist!"=only 45 seconds of the main hook, in a song that is 4-5 min long. This is very, very smart.
In other words, the song makes you WANT MORE, it builds you up (as evident by the fact I've listened to it about 15 times the past day).
Axl's vocals give me chills, I love it.
