okay, I know I haven't posted in like two weeks. if you're that interested, videos from Tempe Music Festival are up on my YouTube. I'll post pictures when I don't have a paper to write.

meanwhile... do we dare believe it?

Guns N' Roses finish 'Chinese Democracy' album

Guns N Roses have reportedly finished work on 'Chinese Democracy', the album that Axl Rose has been working on for the past 14 years.

Therockradio.com reports that Geffen Records, the band's record label, have confirmed they have received a finished copy of the album, and are currently haggling over money and rights issues with Rose.

The album is reported to have cost in excess of $13million (£6.5million) to produce.

As previously reported, it is rumoured that a Guns N' Roses reality TV show is set to be broadcast to coincide with the release of the album.

well, it seems kind of silly after years of release dates coming and going that we're finally hearing that the album is finished. you'd think they'd want to finish the album before putting release dates out, but I guess I'm too young to understand how things work.
as for said rumored reality show, let's hope that it's only a rumor. a reality show to coincide with an album seems like a cheap PR trick, and if the album is actually good, it won't need any of those. a reality show would only show lack of confidence.
personally, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this, it's probably better if the album isn't released. after $13 million and 14 years, it's just not going to be as good as everybody wants it to be.
and what do you want to bet somebody inside Geffen is going to leak the whole thing? set lasers to Limewire.
