Guns 'n' Roses Release 'Chinese Democracy' on same day as PIg's Maiden Flight!
According to BBC News, Kevin Cogill of music review site, Antiquiet, has been released on bail after he was busted for posting new material from Guns 'n' Roses on the site.
The tracks in question were, of course, taken from Axl Rose & Co.'s supposedly upcoming album, 'Chinese Democracy', an LP which gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'long awaited'.
Some 13 years in the making, and counting, the release of 'Chinese Democracy' is like the music industry's equivalent of the proverbial flying pig in that it just doesn't seem likely to happen any time during our lifetime.
Which is a shame, because as most people know, the original Guns 'n' Roses were a phenomenal act who were no doubt a huge influence on countless bands who followed in their wake.
Without the talents of Slash, Duff, Izzy and Adler in the fold, the band were no longer Guns 'n' Roses, rather just Axl Rose and a bunch of random nobodies, and to be honest, as each year passes without any sign of a '..Democracy' release, the less I care about hearing it.
Actually, that's not entirely true.
I am interested in hearing this, but only because, much like those flying pigs, it would somewhat amazing to finally see something which nobody ever thought they would.
Musically however, I won't be over-awed at the prospect of new Guns 'n' Roses material since, like I've said, this isn't Guns 'n' Roses any more.
Comments on the Antiquiet site, posted before the site were made to remove them no doubt, talk about how good the music itself is, and whilst I can't comment on that, all I do know is that, rather than making the headlines for posting very good music, Cogill only attracted attention because of what Chinese Democracy is; a vague concept which many people have given up all hope of ever holding in their hands, and which may only ever see the light of day when a bunch of pigs sprout wings and take flight.
