Chinese Democracy, the most expensive record ever
It’s been 12 years since Guns n’ Roses’ last album was released and Axl Rose claims that Chinese Democracy will be released before the summer.
Guns n’ Roses are still considered to be the largest music phenomenon in the world, in part because of Axl Rose’s unique persona.
The band’s frontman insists that the new album’s release is due shortly and rumour has it that it was already played during Axl’s birthday party in a bar in New York. This rumour extended itself to the Internet, with the claim that a few of the songs featured on Chinese Democracy could already be heard, but the truth is that so far none of this has been confirmed.
Axl Rose seems determined to end the long wait and finally release the record which, according to Geffen Records as quoted in the Spanish magazine Popular 1 ‘until now has cost 13 million dollars’.
‘The Spaghetti Incident’, released over 12 years ago, was Guns n’ Roses’ last album to date. But not even the wait has caused the millions of fans worldwide to quit on the band; they are eagerly waiting this memorable band’s stage performance.
Axl Rose causes equal parts of passion and hatred and he is the core element behind both the band’s success and its split. A band which, despite the fact that its original members have left the line-up, never truly came to a halt.
In the past 12 years many bands have reached the same level of success and in some cases have released more albums than Guns n’ Roses themselves over their career.
Yet, it is almost certain that Axl Rose will focus all the attention on himself once again, bringing Guns n Roses back all the way to the top.
The snippets of information divulged by Axl Rose point to Chinese Democracy hitting the stores this year. According to some press, March was considered the ‘it’ month, but nothing has happened.
We are already mid-April and everything seems to point that new light will be shed on the matter during the band’s warm-up performances in New York (supposed to take place May 12th, 14th, 15th and 17th), in preparation for their European Tour. This Tour will kick-off at Rock in Rio-Lisboa on May 27th.
Despite all the doubts, it is impossible to deny that Axl Rose still holds a flame to the hearts of millions of his fans. Some of them have never seen the band live and they are anxious that the day has come when they will be face to face with the Guns n’ Roses legend.
A game, or simply the way Axl Rose is? No one truly knows. The truth is that Axl is still the life and soul of the band that engrained songs like ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, ‘November Rain’, ‘Think About You’ in the history of music. Who better than Axl to keep the fans’ interest going for over 12 years? Expectations are extremely high.
The one certainty we have is that on May 27th Guns n’ Roses will be at Rock in Rio-Lisboa where they will kick-off their European Tour. With or without the release of Chinese Democracy, this show will be unforgettable.
