Talking Metal

In the latest episode of “Talking Metal”, recorded at the Channel 4 Pub in New York City’s Rockefeller Center, hosts Mark Strigl and John Ostronomy participate in the second-to-last installment of their countdown to one of the world’s most anticipated albums, GUNS N’ ROSES‘ “Chinese Democracy”. Topics include the official “Chinese Democracy” listening parties, Bumblefoot, Chris Pitman and Best Buy.

The podcast can be downloaded at www.talkingmetal.com.

“Chinese Democracy” will be released in the U.S. on November 23 exclusively through Best Buy. The 14-song set will be available on CD, vinyl, and as a download. While singer Axl Rose has remained silent, co-managers Irving Azoff and Andy Gould said in a statement, “The release of ‘Chinese Democracy’ marks a historic moment in rock n’roll. We’re launching with a monumental campaign…that matches the groundbreaking sound of the album itself. GUNS N’ ROSES fans have every reason to celebrate, for this is only the beginning.”

One new song, “Shackler’s Revenge”, debuted on September 14 through the Rock Band 2 video game, while another, called “If The World”, can be heard in the new film “Body of Lies”.

“Chinese Democracy” is the first album of new material from GUNS N’ ROSES since 1991’s “Use Your Illusion I” and “Use Your Illusion II”.

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.
