I’ll believe it when I see it but here’s the link: [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27106927/?GT1=43001](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27106927/?GT1=43001) ---

This album is going to be soooooo underwhelming. ---

I’ll believe it when I see it. But, I’d sure like to get that free Dr. Pepper. > [@](#): > > This spring, soft drink manufacturer Dr Pepper offered to send a free can of the beverage to “everyone in America” (excluding ex-GNR members Slash and Buckethead) if “Chinese Democracy” were to arrive anytime during the calendar year 2008. A Dr Pepper spokesperson was not immediately available for comment. ---

It’s really not “Guns N’ Roses” anymore so much as “Axl’s vanity project”. No Izzy, no Slash, no GnR. ---

This makes me kind of sad. I loved Appetite and outright loathed everything else GnR did. I kind of enjoyed the mockery factor of Bill taking a forever to “perfect” the new album. Even though I won’t give it a moment’s listen, I do hope its good for the sake of the few fans who have held out hope. It would be shame to wait 10 years for something awful. ---

It’s going to be dual packaged with a copy of Duke Nukem Forever that’s playable on the Phantom gaming system. 😉 ---

> [@Cluricaun](#): > > It’s going to be dual packaged with a copy of Duke Nukem Forever that’s playable on the Phantom gaming system. 😉 We all laugh, but there’s growing evidence that Duke Nukem Forever will be released in the next six months too. Then what long-running in-development game and CD will demand our snarky dollar? ---

I’m wondering if Chinese Democracy tanks, if we’ll see a reunion of the original lineup (whether Steven Adler of Matt Sorum’s the drummer). It happened with The Police where Sting swore up and down he’d never reunite the group. ---

I, too, liked Appetite but… At this point isn’t this about as socially relevant as a new Monkey’s album? [sup]If it actually comes out that is.[/sup] ---

Don’t get your hopes up. Some friends heard it two years ago when they met him at a party, and he had brought along a copy to play. They though it sucked.
