Finally, after decade of waiting…we are now given the official release date of Nov 23rd, 2008 to the most (x100) anticipated album!!!!
The album itself is the most expensive album…longest album ever made in the world!!!!
Oct 22, 2008…when the song “
Chinese Democracy” was released on the satellite radio, within a day..it made a huge smash to listeners! It was said to be played double the amount of the current #1 song on the Billboard..
The break-up of the greatest rock band in the world is not something easy for a die-hard fan like me to swallow…it began when W. Axl Rose unilaterally rejected several songs composed by Slash…then to find, Axl Rose had hired a replacement guitarist without informing the rest of band..not to mention about Axl Rose unpredictable day-to-day whims...
Many believe that…Axl Rose was the man to blame especially he was the man who have demanded to have more of the rightful ownership of Gn'R label...according to him..Gn'R is his creation…I would not care who created Gn'R but I do believe in one thing…Gn'R will never be big if it wasn’t Axl Rose...he is the sole attraction of the band..while slash is just a co-attraction...there’s nothing special to slash other than his guitar gimmicks and skills…if he’s that great he should be able to make and accomplish his own project..let’s take his single project of Slash Snake-pit…how the hell it went?
After the big break-up…Gn'R is still receiving lots of invitation and has been tearing every stadium and night club with their new line up….that’s how great this band is…seriously speaking, Axl Rose is one hell of a vocalist…I couldn’t find any better rock singer that could outclass him on stage…up to these days..I’m still looking for any VCD/DVD of GnR’s concert at Coliseum L.A 1989…the one I really wanted to see is the footage where he ran 400m around the stadium track whilst singing…according to fans and management, he wasn’t losing any of his stamina..that was when Gn'R made it big…no other vocalist that could run and sing at once…not 20m run but 400m around the track and got back to the stage still running during the whole concert...so far, I’ve seen the footage of him fell off the stage and continued singing as if nothing had happened…watched several footage of him swearing his own fans and cancelled many road show due some mother-fuckers…that was how outrageous he was in those days....
As to why he had decided to call the album
Chinese Democracy, the one constant fact about the project throughout all the chaos, Rose was quoted: “Well, there’s a lot of Chinese democracy movements, and it’s something that there’s a lot of talk about, and it’s something that will be nice to see. It could also just be like an ironic statement. I don’t know, I just like the sound of it.”
I’m just excited as I am when I first watched their concert on a VCD..I think it was 14 years back in 1994 at one of my friend's house...since then I have been a fan to this band..well it was all due to Axl Rose..looking forward to
*tut* the album...hehe..unless some one buys the original copy as a belated birthday present..hehe..

A bonus..here is one of my earliest-favourite song from Gn'R earliest-album "Lies"..it was a controversial song written by Axl Rose..there were actually 3 versions of this song though...if you never heard or knew, Don't Cry has 2 versions....
