A decade and a half after releasing its previous album, Guns N’ Roses plans to put out a new song in September — on the video game Rock Band 2. MTV expects to announce on Monday that the sequel to its popular Rock Band game will include ‘Shackler’s Revenge,’ a track from the Guns N’ Roses album that has been in the works for more than a decade, said people familiar with the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because the arrangement has yet to be announced.

The inclusion of the song on a game suggests that the Guns N’ Roses album Chinese Democracy will come out this fall, after years of delays. Axl Rose, who has selected replacements for the other original members, has said that the album is finished, but a release date has not been announced.


uhm shackler’s revenge?
what the fuck kind of name is that?
is axl constipated? reataining water? is his head gonna swell up (literally) too?

oh the horror the horror

That’s perfect. I hate rock band and I hate guns n’ roses.

That’s perfect. I hate rock band and I hate guns n’ roses.

That goes triple for me.

I’ve heard this story before. not the rock band thing BUT that the album is coming out [:/]
grmpysmrf

I only want this to come out so i can get my free Dr. Pepper.

well with everybody earlier mentioning trent and his new was of getting music to the public i thought this was an interesting route to go to get his new single heard. Not necessarily the smartest one, but an interesting way to go nonetheless… Even if he made a the most amazing music video ever, who’s gonna play it except maybe those on demand music channels where you pick the video yourself from a list…

I don’t know if you people heard the various ways metallica is gonna be releasing their new album… but that’s a whole post in itself

Triple-and-a-half on this one. I’m not terribly fond of G n’ R, but they’re not horrible.

Rock Band, though… fuck that, son.

God, talk about ASWs

Well, I read Slash’s book and it was a great fun read. It made me re-listen to old GNR, and I gotta admit I’m more of a fan than I was.

However, once you’ve seen them post-1993…it’s pretty scary:

whoa. what’s with the goth guitar player?!?!

Why is this big news? Guns’n’Roses suck dicks. Their music sucks dicks. Their new song will suck a dick. End of story.

That’s Robin Finck from NIN, who weirdly enough Trent first met while playing here in Atlanta at the Masquerade. I think he was part of the Impotent Sea Snakes at the time or something.

and Robin is out on GNR and back on the nin tour this summer
