Guns 'N' Roses To Release "Chinese Democracy" On 11/23/08



This is good news for all you Dr. Pepper fans, out there.
The soft drink manufacturers promised to give everyone in the US a free Dr. Pepper if GNR released "Chinese Democracy" before the end of 2008.

Apparently, the album is only going to be available as a Best Buy exclusive.
And, if your calender is in front of you, it's slated for a Sunday release.

For some reason, music execs think this album is going to save the holiday shopping season for the music biz.
Unless it is a gargantuan, instant-classic album, I don't think so.

In fact, I don't really see this doing much for the music business beyond the Christmas season - unless it is a stone cold classic.

Either way, it's been ten years since we have really heard from Axl Rose.
I will be curious to see what the most expensively produced album in the history of the record business sounds like.
