9 songs leaked yesterday. its sounding alright so far.

this album has been in the works for like ten years, lol.

i was just reading about that on the days of the new board. those people are some crazy mofo's.
so guns n roses these days is pretty much just Axl and some other people right? i haven't been paying attention.

yep. just axl and some others.

I prefer the old GnR that I grew up too, so i'm not too impressed with this at all.

I downloaded it, its HORRIBLE(IMO)
I loved GNR they got my into Rock, and this is a slap in the face for GNR fans..its Horrible, ugh.

Guns n’ Roses’ “Chinese Democracy” Leaker Gets FBI Visit

6/24/08, 5:45 pm EST

Last week, the Internet was rocked when California blogger Kevin Skwerl posted nine newly leaked Chinese Democracy tracks, including three previously unheard songs allegedly from Guns n’ Roses long-awaited album. Skwerl — who used to work in the distribution department of Universal Music and is now a Web designer — runs the blog Antiquiet, and says he received the tracks from “an anonymous online source.”

Yesterday Skwerl was surprised to find himself face to face with two FBI agents who paid a visit to his day job. “It was kind of an ambush,” Skwerl tells Rolling Stone. “When I came back from lunch they were waiting in the lobby for me. It’s a little creepy they know where I work.” Two young FBI officers, who Skwerl describes as “Mulder and Scully types,” questioned him for 15 minutes about where he got the tracks and made plans to visit his house at 7:00 a.m. this morning.

“I wasn’t sure if they were going to come by with a warrant and trash the place, like in the movies,” he says. “It was nothing like that.” The FBI officials wanted to see the original files, but Skwerl erased them last week per instructions from Axl Rose’s attorneys. Skwerl ultimately gave them second-hand files that are now widely available on the Internet.

Last week Skwerl’s blog crashed from the traffic flood that resulted from his controversial posting. “My host contacts me and says, ‘What the fuck did you do?’” I go, “Uhhhh. I posted some music.” He goes, “What exactly did you post?” I go, “Uhhhh. [Meek voice] New Guns n’ Roses.” He goes, “Motherfucker.” Before long his cell phone rang with an unfamiliar 323 number. “It was a really cool guy from the Gn’R camp that was a middle man between someone who was very angry and me. He was trying to reach out and see if I’d go without a fight, which is more or less what I did.”

Skwerl agreed to take them down, but a cease-and-desist letter soon followed threatening possible legal action. “I’m not so worried about that,” Skwerl says. “It’s a legal grey area since it wasn’t for download, it wasn’t a finished product. We aren’t sure who owns the recordings. I feel like I might survive this.”

Update: Skwerl wants to make it clear that he’s unsure whether or not he broke the law, but he will cooperate with the feds in any way he can. “If legal proceedings come my way, I’ll face them 100 percent. I’m not afraid of that. I did what I did, and I’ll face the music if I have to.”

Wow. That's pretty intense...good find.

I think GnR is screwed either way; they've waited too long and had too many fake album release rumors to please anyone now. Everyone is expecting Appetite For Destruction Pt.2 after this long, and that just isn't realistic. Metallica's St. Anger went down a similar road...as their new album may also...

Axl is a kook, and as far as Chinese Something or Other goes, at this point, whatever... I stopped caring about 11 years ago. Straight to the cutout bin.

Pretty much agree with you guys, although Bfoot is a KILLER guitar player

I lost all respect for Axl 8/8/1992 . GnR will never be the same.

I heard Axl re-writes the tracks everytime they get leaked. That's why it's taking so long. He wants his material to be fresh when the album get released. That is also why he goes through soo many producers, Nobody can work with his stubbornness.
