The title track, the first single from the album, was released to radio today, October 22. "Chinese Democracy" is the first album of new material from one of rock's most influential bands since the 1991 simultaneous releases of "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II".

"The release of 'Chinese Democracy' marks a historic moment in rock n' roll," said co-managers Irving Azoff and Andy Gould. "We're launching with a monumental campaign developed by Gary Arnold and the Best Buy team that matches the groundbreaking sound of the album itself. GUNS N' ROSES fans have every reason to celebrate, for this is only the beginning."

"'Chinese Democracy' is one of the most highly anticipated albums in music history, and Best Buy is thrilled to deliver this explosive and previously elusive release to GUNS N' ROSES fans.

"Axl Rose is one of the most dynamic and gifted writers and performers in modern music. Best Buy is excited to work with Axl to make the release of 'Chinese Democracy' THE musical event of 2008!"

"GUNS N' ROSES is THE premier American rock band," commented Steve Berman, President, Sales and Marketing, Interscope Geffen A&M Records.

But according to GNR's current manager, Azoff's Andy Gould, you can't rush the magic of rock. "Art and commerce have always made strange bedfellows," Gould tells EW.com. "When they asked Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel, they didn't say, 'Can you do it in the fourth quarter?' so they can make their numbers. Great art sometimes takes time ."

David Kravets of Wired.com reports that the Los Angeles man arrested on accusations that he uploaded nine pre-released GUNS N' ROSES songs from the upcoming "Chinese Democracy" album has agreed to plead guilty to one federal count of copyright infringement as part of a deal, authorities said Monday.

"Yes. There is a plea deal," (PDF file) Los Angeles federal prosecutor Craig Missakian told Wired.com.

Kevin Cogill, who the FBI said confessed to uploading the nine songs last summer to his music site, Antiquiet, is scheduled to enter a plea December 8. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Cogill, a 27-year-old blogger known as "Skewrl", was arrested on August 27. He was charged under a three-year-old federal anti-piracy law that makes it a felony to distribute a copyrighted work on computer networks before its release.

Ex-GUNS N' ROSES and current VELVET REVOLVER lead guitarist Slash slammed Cogill in a recent interview, telling the Los Angeles Times, "I hope he rots in jail. It's going to affect the sales of the record, and it's not fair. The Internet is what it is, and you have to deal with it accordingly, but I think if someone goes and steals something, it's theft."

Assistant U.S. attorney Craig Missakian, who pursued the case with the FBI and recording industry, said, "In the past, these may have been viewed as victimless crimes. But in reality, there's significant damage."

Cogill posted the songs at the Antiquiet web site, where they were available for public access. The site crashed from the amount of traffic it received once word of the leaked tracks got out. Cogill took them down again after he was contacted by representatives of GUNS N' ROSES.

The tracks were allegedly taken from the band's yet-to-be-released "Chinese Democracy" album. Cogill, who used to work in distribution for the group's record label, says he received them from an anonymous source.

GUNS N' ROSES issued a statement saying, "Though we don't support this guy's actions at that level, our interest is in the original source. We can't comment publicly at this time as the investigation is ongoing."

Dr Pepper aurait fortement encouragé Axl Rose à sortir enfin son chef-d'œuvre "Chinese Democracy", en 2008. "Dans un mouvement de solidarité sans précédent avec Axl, tout le monde aux Etats-Unis, sauf les anciens guitaristes Slash et Buckethead, recevra une canette gratuite de Dr Pepper si l'album sort avant la fin de l’année", souligne l'entreprise, dont la marque est basée au Texas.

Le vice président du marketing de Dr Pepper vient d’annoncer :” Nous ne croyions jamais que ce jour viendrait. Mais tout ce qu’on peut dire maintenant c’est, Nous payons la tournée de Dr Pepper!”.
Pour obtenir sa canette, il faudra visiter le site DrPepper.com le jour de la sortie de l’album “Chinese Democracy” des Guns N’Roses, c’est à dire le 23 novembre 2008. Lors de l’enregistrement en ligne, un coupon sera imprimable et pourra être échanger contre un canette de DrPepper.
