**c*i** Guns N'Roses - Эксл, Слэш, Иззи, Дафф, Стив, Гилби, Матт, Диззи

Веселая статейка о выходе, а точнее невыходе "Китайской демократии".
Отрывок:

Nov. 7, 1999: Guns N' Roses manager Doug Goldstein says "Chinese Democracy" is nearly complete, and should be out in early 2000. "It's not entirely indicative of what the album's going to be," he says of "Oh My God," a Guns track that appears on the soundtrack to "End of Days," a 1999 action picture starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. "It's a song that seemed to fit the movie."

January 2000: Rolling Stone magazine interviews Rose and reports that the new album is penciled in for a summer 2000 release. "I'd like to take some of the old Guns fans along with me into the 21st Century," Rose tells the magazine.

May 11, 2001: The New York Daily News quotes an "insider," who says the album is basically done. "The album has been finished to everybody else's satisfaction for over a year now," the source says. "But Axl keeps going back to remix it and add vocals."

November 2002: Guns N' Roses keyboard player Dizzy Reed tells the Cleveland Plain Dealer that the album should be out by summer 2003. "There are just a few odds and ends left to do - a couple of finishing touches, a couple of vocals - and we need to mix it," Reed says.

Aug. 21, 2003: Guns N' Roses bass player Tommy Stinson tells the Albany Times-Union that work on the album has "been going great." "It's closer to the end of the record being completed than the beginning," he says. "... I'm not drinking the company Kool-Aid on all that. That's all straight info. I guarantee that the album's coming out. Hopefully it'll be out sometime before the end of the year."

April 5, 2004: After new Guns N' Roses guitarist Buckethead quits, Rose says in a release, "We hope to announce a release date within the next few months."

January 2006: On a Philadelphia radio show, former Guns guitarist Slash says of "Chinese Democracy," "It's coming out in March ... I've been told a lot of things over the years, but it definitely sounds like it's coming out in March."

January 2006: Rose tells Rolling Stone that the band is working on 32 songs, with 13 expected to make the final cut. "People will hear the music this year," he says.

November 2006: Several publications report that the album will be released by the end of the year, with the band's Web site strongly suggesting it will be released on a Tuesday in November or December.

Dec. 15, 2006: Rose puts a statement on the official Guns N' Roses Web site, announcing a tentative March 6, 2007, release date. "To say the making of this album has been an unbearably long and incomprehensible journey would be an understatement," Rose says.

March 2007 passed, and we haven't heard another definitive word about the album, which reportedly has accumulated more than $10 million in recording costs. Meanwhile, the band continued on a short world tour in June and July.

W.A.R.: The Unauthorized Biography of William Axl Rose (Hardcover)
by Mick Wall (Author)

A journalist who had unprecedented access to Guns n’ Roses at their peak delivers a big, brash history of the band’s charismatic, fantastically talented and idiosyncratic leader—W. Axl Rose

Even in the world of rock and roll, a figure like Axl Rose doesn’t come along very often. Mercurial and brilliant, deluded and imperious, Rose defies easy description or analysis. Few people have studied Rose as closely as Mick Wall has. Traveling with Guns n’ Roses and writing about them in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Wall first earned Axl’s trust and later his fury.

W.A.R. goes back to the beginning, revealing Rose’s childhood influences (and how he got his name), and tracking the birth of the band and their enormous success with albums like “Appetite for Destruction” and “Use Your Illusion.” With fame and money came substance abuse and infighting, and a lead singer who morphed from eccentric to seemingly unhinged. Wall’s book is richly detailed and offers surprising new views on some celebrated Guns ’n Roses and Axl Rose incidents, including:

--the death of two fans at a concert in Donington Park in England,
--Rose’s fall-out and eventual split from every one of the other original Gn’R band members,
--fights with perceived enemies like Kurt Cobain, Motley Crue’s Vince Neil and fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger,
--Rose’s consistent refusal to show up at concerts throughout his career,
--Axl becoming a virtual recluse at his Malibu mansion for most of the past 15 years.

The book goes right up to the present, to explore why a new Guns n’ Roses—with a reconfigured band—has toured but still hasn’t released their long-awaited album “Chinese Democracy”, now over a decade in the making at a cost of over $13 million. W.A.R. is about great music, bad relationships, and the public and private personas of one of the most controversial performers of our time.

Брэнд Dr Pepper пообещал, что каждый человек в Америке получит бесплатную банку напитка, если Guns N' Roses в этом году выпустят наконец-то "Китайскую демократию".

"Устав от мира, в котором американцы боготворят поддельных "фабричных" звезд, Dr Pepper призывает (окей, умоляет) Акселя Роуза наконец выпустить в 2008 году свой шедевр "Chinese Democracy", работа над которым длится уже 17 лет, - говорится в пресс-релизе. - Выражая беспримерную солидарность с Акселем, заявляем, что каждый житель США, исключая бывших гитаристов Guns N'Roses Слэша и Бакетхэда, получит бесплатную банку Dr Pepper, если альбом успеет выйти до конца 2008 года".

"Dr Pepper поддерживает Акселя и понимает, что иногда приходится продираться сквозь джунгли, чтобы добиться своего", - добавили представители компании.

И только 2 человека не получат ничего: бывшие гитаристы GN'R Слэш и Бакетхэд.

суперновость!!! Какой же **т***к** Эксл Роуз

2Гарринча:

>**т***к**

Расшифруй, а я тебе "Доктор Пеппер" куплю.

И его ответ на официальном сайте:
"We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr Pepper with our album "Chinese Democracy," as for us, this came totally out of the blue. If there is any involvement with this promotion by our record company or others, we are unaware of such at this time. And as some of Buckethead's performances are on our album, I'll share my Dr Pepper with him.

Axl Rose"
Откровенно говоря, я ожидала реакции типа "какого чёрта эти засранцы подкопались к нашему альбому? Лёгкой славы захотелось? Fuck off!"
Должно быть, ему просто нравится Dr. Pepper...

Надеюсь, не настолько сильно, как Форресту Гампу. 15 бутылочек в Белом доме.

'November Rain' book back in print Lyndsey Parker

After being out of print for 10 years, the book of short stories that inspired Guns N' Roses' epic "November Rain" video is back on the market in paperback.

The Language Of Fear, a collection of 15 short sci-fi/horror stories by Del James, features an introduction by Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose. The book's entry "Without You" is the tale that specifically inspired GNR's Stephanie Seymour-starring "November Rain" video in 1992.

"Del James has a personal knowledge of most of the situations he writes about, and has a love of the gutter from having been there," says Axl Rose of the book's author.

Del James has co-written songs as a lyricist with Guns N' Roses as well as Testament, the Almighty, and the Outpatients, and has directed several music videos and written live television for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is currently finishing his first novel, A Celebration Of Pain.
