It looks like Dr Pepper might be have to buy America a drink after all, as the makers of the Rock Band 2 game secure a brand new GNR song, Shackler’s Revenge for the upcoming release.
This inches the group closer to a potential album release. Will it still be called Chinese Democracy? Your guess is as good as ours. The fact still remains that even if the album gets released, it won’t be Guns N Roses in the way we know and love them (i.e. 1987 - 1994 era). Essentially, it’ll be an Axl Rose vehicle, 14 years after their last release.

It seems that Dr Pepper has had a kind of laxative effect on Axl Rose, because there’s been a ‘run’ of Guns N Roses news in the last few days. Rumours of a reality TV show and speculation that Axl has already delivered an album to Geffen. A completed album.
The Axl Rose Show?
Idolator are skeptical about the idea of Axl doing a reality TV show. Sure, it makes sense to build some pre-launch buzz for Chinese Democracy. They focus on the credentials of the sites breaking the news. However, read the source, they’ve got their tenses all screwed up.
On one hand, they’re citing that the idea has only just been pitched. On the other, they’re claiming that there’s “a lot of footage to choose from. Some of it is incredibly personal and revealing about Axl’s life.” OK, so we could be talking about highly scripted reality TV here. Let’s face it, is there any other kind?

I love this! After years (and years) of stalling on the release of Chinese Democracy, Dr Pepper has taunted Axl Rose by offering everyone in America a free drink if he releases the album in 2008.
What a slap in the teeth when a major soft drinks company takes a ‘pop’ at your expense!
Rose has stalled on releasing Chinese Democracy numerous times and Guns N’ Roses fans have almost given up hope of ever seeing the album released. I personally believe it doesn’t actually exist and is a marketing gimmick to keep a lingering interest in GNR in order to shift their wonderful back catalog. Let’s face it, Rose could not release an album today that would sound anything like the GNR we all fell in love with back in ‘88.

I wonder what Steven Adler’s bandmates think of his constant assertions that he’d love to reunite the original Guns N’ Roses lineup.
Let’s face it, Adler’s Appetite would probably run out of steam pretty quickly, leaving the other members just an over-glorified tribute band. And I don’t understand where he’s getting the idea that the other Gunners are buying into the idea. None of them seem to have commented publicly so far.
Which - I think you’ll agree - leaves the most washed-up member of the classic Guns N’ Roses lineup craving a reunion. Hmmm. If you were Adler, would you rather be in a tribute band to GNR or be back in the drum stool behind your old compadres? Read More »
