The long wait is finally over – Guns ‘N’ Roses have announced details of their forthcoming album ‘Chinese Democracy’, to be released on November 24th.
The band last released original material in 1991 with the simultaneous release of ‘Use Your Illusion’ parts one and two. Those albums promptly flew to the top of the US charts, occupying first and second slots in what must surely rank as one of the best chart stunts ever pulled.
Apart from a covers album ‘The Spaghetti Incident’ all has been quiet on the Guns ‘N’ Roses trail – until now. The legendary ‘Chinese Democracy’ album is set to be released on November 24th, bringing to an end over a decade of speculation.
“The release of Chinese Democracy marks a historic moment in rock ‘n’ roll,” said Irving Azoff and Andy Gould, Guns N’ Roses’ co-managers, “and we’re launching with a monumental campaign that matches the groundbreaking sound of the album itself. Guns N’ Roses fans have every reason to celebrate, for this is only the beginning.”
Guns ‘N’ Roses’ debut album ‘Appetite For Destruction’ sold more than 28 million copies worldwide, creating a rock legend. The band’s famously debauched approach to touring earned them the nickname ‘The Most Dangerous Band In The World’. Lock up your daughters – they’re back!
