Countdown To GUNS N’ ROSES’ ‘Chinese Democracy’: New Podcast Available
Mark Strigl
"Talking Metal" has posted its latest podcast/episode in which hosts Mark Strigl and John Ostronomy resume their countdown to one of the world's most-anticipated albums, GUNS N' ROSES' "Chinese Democracy". Download the podcast at this location.
"Chinese Democracy" is tentatively set for release on November 25 exclusively through Best Buy, according to RollingStone.com. The unconfirmed report came from a "vendor convention" held by Best Buy last month in Dallas, where GUNS manager Andy Gould reportedly told 900 Best Buy employees the news before previewing three songs. Cellphone recordings of the event later surfaced on GUNS N' ROSES fan message boards.
Gould also told the crowd that a new GN'R song called "If The World" will play under the closing credits of "Body of Lies", the new film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe due out on October 10. That news was confirmed online at film web sites whose representatives had attended a press screening of the flick. "If The World" will not appear on the film's soundtrack album.
"If The World" features the guitar work of Robin Finck and Buckethead, who have both since departed GUNS N' ROSES.
Another new GN'R song, called "Shackler's Revenge", appears on the Rock Band 2 video game.
There has been no official confirmation of the new GUNS album's release date or Best Buy deal, although Billboard.com has also reported that the latter is nearly finalized.
"Chinese Democracy" has been more than 13 years in the making, with every original member of GUNS N' ROSES except for frontman Axl Rose long since gone from the lineup.
