Chinese Democracy, the sixth studio album by Guns N’ Roses, is being released this Sunday, after over a decade of delays. Chuck Klosterman
liked it. John Pareles from the New York Times
did not. You can decide for yourself by listening to it
here. Or you can pick it up this Sunday at Best Buy. But make sure you collect your
free Dr Pepper.

The Endless Wait Is Over! After 15 years, Guns N’ Roses will finally release its nearly mythical album,
Chinese Democracy. Chuck Klosterman has the exclusive first review of the new record, which features a 14 minute "rap-rock anthem" called "Pound You (Good)," several songs that "make thinly veiled references to the architect who designed Rose's backyard topiary garden," and attacks on the media, including "the editors of
Vanity Fair, MTV personality Sway, numerous teenage bloggers, and the city hall reporter for the
Cincinnati Enquirer (who, curiously, has never written about pop music)." Rock on, Axl Rose. Rock on.

If you get the chance to sleep with the former bass guitarist from Guns N' Roses, but aren't sure if it'll be worth the trip to the free clinic two weeks later, Donna Anderson of Metal Sludge webzine has put together the
following list of brief reviews of 228 of hair metal (among other genres)'s most wanted men. Read, commit to memory, then hit the Sunset Strip. Leave your dignity at home, but remember to bring some condoms.

No, ummm, no Guns n' Roses reunion show, I guess. Ex-GnR guitarist and Hair Club for Men spokesman Slash was denied entry to the Las Vegas Hard Rock Cafe to see his old band perform New Year's Eve. GnR management were worried that Axl would be "freaked" if he know Slash was there. I bet the guys at
Buddyhead are pissed that GnR are never coming back.
