Just started listening to this a little while. (I know, I know… “where have you been,” etc.) Verdict: Someone’s been listening to a LOT of NIN.

This is the funniest thing I’ve read all week, and I’m not sure why.

It’s out there, or are you talking about those demos that have been floating around for the last several years? I despise GnR, but all this talk about a bullshit album for so many years have made me interested in hearing it…despite my low expectations of it. It might have buckethead on there though, and I like him, so who knows?
Accoring to wikipedia:
In a 2007 interview, Axl Rose’s close friend Sebastian Bach stated that Chinese Democracy will be the first installment in a trilogy of new albums. Bach also remarked that Rose had told him the third, as of yet untitled, album has been slated for 2012.
Any takers on that bet?
I think it’s “out there”… these don’t sound like demos to me. Far too polished.
I am surprised to find that I like it. I feel a little dirty, too, you know?
You’ll all be loving the album when you get a free can of Dr. Pepper!
I’ve been really into Chinese Democracy for years; reading about it, laughing about it, etc. The minute it actually gets released, I’ll cease to care about it at all. Axl is fucking up his legacy.

well he only used josh freese, sean beaven and robin fink and probably others from the nin camp while making this cd.
funny how nin opened for guns once and their audience hated them… I think the trent quote was the had sold only 10 t-shirts out of a whole arena. during the show a kid held up a pretty the machine shirt and then suddenly got engulfed by people and vanished. next thing you know,as ou say, somebody’s aping trent…
and in manson’s book trent and him go to a u2 show and meet axl, manson mentions covering charles manson, cut to a few months later and spaghetti incident comes out and it’s got look at you game girl on it.
trivia time… in slashes book he mentions that they named the cd the spaghetti incident?!? because of some part of the lawsuit their first drummer had against the band which mentioned this spaghetti incident… i don’t know… i always thought it was an allusion to the noodle incident talked about but never shown in calvin and hobbes

No one can prove he did that!
I heard from a guy who knows Chris Vrenna (which makes this is foaf info, so take it with a grain of salt) that Axl was obsessed with Pretty Hate Machine and was basically trying to hire the Downward Spiral era backing band to be his group for Chinese Democracy. He also apparently had the idea to re-record Appetite For Destruction as an NIN style industrial-rock record. Vrenna declined the offer, but obviously other ex-NINers did not.

See “Appetite for reconstruction.” Bleck!

They definitely re-did that album - according to press - according to axl, but who knows? who cares? Seems like he tries to pick up the former nin guys though. Meathead on ninhotline did a funny cartoon about axl and manson trying to get twiggy in their bands - was awesome. It was called hangin’ with jeordie, I recommend it.
Yeah, that’s true, they re-recorded Appetite with the early 2000’s lineup replacing Anything Goes and You’re Crazy with new versions of Patience and You Could Be Mine. Axl said in interviews at the time that it was supposedly to break in the new band and give them practice for playing the songs on tour, but the real reason had to do with licensing rights. Axl figured if he re-recorded the tracks he wouldn’t have to pay the old band for using the new versions on soundtracks, etc. There was a whole lawsuit fiasco that blocked them from using the new version of Welcome To The Jungle in Blackhawk Down, and they used a half new/half old live version of Sweet Child Of Mine during the Big Daddy credits.
Regarless, I’m still looking forward to hearing the final Chinese Democracy.

i thought big daddy used the sheryl crow version

someone at work last night put on what they claimed was this album, i noticed one track sounded very much like marilyn manson, for some reason… now its becoming a bit more clear
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyuck!
