The long-awaited album from the rock band Guns N’ Roses has been partially leaked by an American blogger.
Nine ‘mastered, finished’ tracks from Chinese Democracy, the album that Axl Rose has been working on for the past 14 years, were posted on a little-known website, www.antiquiet.com.
The album is reported to have cost in excess of $13million to produce but its release is said to have been held up by discussions between Rose and the band’s record label Geffen Records, over rights.
A poster calling themselves Skwerl made the nine songs available on Wednesday, without revealing their source, but the tracks were removed hours later.
The poster wrote: “I always said that the more that Axl and Geffen jerked around trying to figure out how to release this finally finished album that we’ve all been waiting over 13 years for, the greater the chances would be that it would slip out of a pressing plant or office somewhere.”
Despite the hasty removal of the songs, reportedly after a call from the band’s lawyers, they soon spread throughout the internet, appearing on filesharing sites as well as YouTube.
Once released, the album will be the first original recording from GNR since the 1991releases of Use Your Illusion.
And hey, also do a Google to see what Axl Rose and Slash look like now. Oh those were the days.
