According to Billboard, Chinese Democracy, the long-awaited sixth GNR album, finally has a firm release date: November 23. Odd, though, because that falls on a Sunday. Even more odd -- well, actually, not odd, but shitty -- is that the album will be released exclusively through Best Buy. Incidentally, November 23 does share significance with China, as the date marks the first time representatives from the People's Republic of China attended the United Nations, but I'm pretty sure Axl don't give a sheeeeit.
Of course, Guns N' Roses are wasting no time licensing their music, as track "Shackler's Revenge" will debut in Rock Band 2, while "If the World" is expected to play during the end credits of director Ridley Scott's latest film, Body of Lies, which opens tomorrow. Meanwhile, Dr. Pepper is gearing up to give you some free drinks. So, thank Axl, Dizzy Reed, Robin Finck, Tommy Stinson, Chris Pitman, Bryan Mantia, Richard Fortus, Bumblefoot, Frank Ferrer, and Geffen for that!
I still think it's really funny that most of the album has been leaked.
