Neil says Rose failed his fans because they were so disappointed that “Chinese Democracy” was such a flop, after taking so long to record the album and put it out. Even after that, Rose failed to tour in support of the album.

Neil says, “For that to fail was pretty crazy after so many years of being recorded. A buddy of mine went to go play guitar for him. They rehearsed for three months and Axl never once turned up. Rule number one: show up! He’s been doing that for many years. Finally I think fans just went, ‘F**k it – can’t do this anymore.’ You can’t be a fan when you can’t see the band.”

If you’ll recall, this isn’t the first time the two singers had a beef. In 1989, they called each other out verbally, but Rose never showed up for that either, even though he was favored to win.

Head honchos at Geffen are pretty preturbed at Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose for becoming M.I.A. for the promotion part of the release of their long-awaited album, Chinese Democracy. Read on as Axl says that he has an excuse for that.

He’s been busy. Not just trying to get Kelly Osbourne in the sack, either. He says that he’s trying to get the original lineup of Guns N’ Roses back together, for a world tour, no less.

Word is that he went AWOL for to entire months before the album’s release. But it’s so great that he reared his ugly dreadlocked head to take a dig at Dr. Pepper.

Rumor has it that Izzy Stradlin is on board, but will Slash be able to put aside his personal differences and reunite with Axl to make more better music?

Think they’ll get back together?

Thanks Scott!

Steven Adler wants a reunion as soon as he can kick his drug habit. The drummer pleaded no contest to a heroin possession charge on Friday in an effort to not get tossed into jail. His mouthpiece says that Steven wants to clean up his act so that he can rejoin Guns N Roses.

He says, “When gets sober they’ll accept him into the band and then they’ll do a comeback album and a world tour, that’s the dream of Steven Adler.”

Maybe he just realized that he really is a nobody?

I was so surprised to see that Guns ‘N Roses had actually released the cover art and track listing for their new album, Chinese Democracy. I thought it was just another rumor of a release, or some other shenanigan. But it’s true! This is the real album, folks.

A reviewer on Best Buy’s site says:

Pros: 14 tracks of axl rose
Cons: it took 17 years to get new material

“I have listened to the leaks, and if they are any indication of what the album will sound like, then Guns N Roses are back. Finally some rock and roll that isn’t emo. I’m looking at you fall out boy and panic at the disco.”

And there you have it!

The track listing:

1. Chinese Democracy
2. Scraped
3. Shackler’s Revenge
4. Street Of Dreams
5. If The World
6. Better
7. This I Love
8. There Was A Time
9. Riad N’ The Bedovins
10. Sorry
11. I.R.S.
12. Catcher
13. Madagascar
14. Prostitute

In the latest trend of Chinese Democracy-gate, Dr. Pepper has previously said that they will send a can of the drink to everyone in America upon the release of the album. And now that Chinese Democracy has a release date of November 23rd, Dr. Pepper head honchos are getting ready.

A company spokesman for Dr. Pepper says, “If the rumors are true, we’re putting the Dr. Pepper on ice.”

Great publicity stunt, so now all of us will associate Dr. Pepper with Guns ‘N Roses, but is it worth it for the return? I mean, with the downfall of the economy, are we all going to be rushing out for that 12-pack of Dr. Pepper?

The latest rumors are surfacing around the internet that Chinese Democracy will actually be released in November! Yes….November of this year. I don’t believe it, either.

It’s being said that the album will be released through Best Buy on November 25th. Apparently, GNR’s manager, Andy Gould, had a previewing of three songs from the album.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Will we still get our free Dr. Peppers?

Buried in a deep legend after Guns N Roses lost some of their band members because Axl Rose is a douchebag, comes the legend of the mythical, never-to-be released album, Chinese Democracy. It’s been told that the mighty Chinese Democracy holds some raw power of that unlike we’ve ever seen, and only one can unleash it’s energy…..is…..Axl Rose….but did I mention that he sucks?

We may never actually hear the remixed (or whatever) is to come of Chinese Democracy. Let’s face it, do you even care?

Sources are revealing that if Axl does get off of his dead butt and release the fabled album, that he’s going to have it released through one of those big box stores, like Walmart or Best Buy.

He better not do that crap with Wally World, they censor the crap out of their music. If he does, I’ll make the official announcement that Axl Rose hates his fans.

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE? YOU’RE IN THE JUNGLE BABY!

Yes, you heard that correctly. So we may just have a Chinese Democracy album sometime between now and death.

Duff McKagan was actually saying that Guns N Roses might do a full reunion!!!

Well, that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen, though, right?

But it does make sense. Velvet Revolver is without a singer and Axl Rose is without his mental faculties a band.

To combat the rumors that were floating around that Guns N’ Roses were going to make the release of fabled album Chinese Democracy into a reality show, they have released this statement:

“Despite rumors floating around the Internet, Guns N’ Roses will not be appearing on any reality TV program to promote their forthcoming album, Chinese Democracy or for any other reason.”

That would probably mean that they would have to release the album when the show ends….right?

Lies, all of it! It’s been so long that I just don’t care anymore.

I’ve actually read that Axl Rose is in discussions with TV execs to actually make the release of his fabled album Chinese Democracy into a reality show.

How dumb is that? The album has taken on epic proportions considering the time it’s taken to actually make it and (sometime between now & death) release it.

Would you watch? Well, I guess it can’t be any worse than Flava Flav searching for the love of his life and that show’s 800 spinoffs, right?

Is he waiting on an invite to actually reunite Guns ‘N Roses??

If Axl Rose looked like he did in his Appetite for Destruction days, I might watch…..but he doesn’t, so I won’t.
