GUNS N' ROSES: Entire New Single Available For Streaming

October 22, 2008

New York's Q104.3 FM radio station is currenly streaming the entire new GUNS N' ROSES single, "Chinese Democracy", at this location. It is also available at IHeartMusic.com. The song is the title track of the band's long-awaited new album, which will be released on November 23 exclusively via Best Buy. A pre-order page for the CD was posted at the BestBuy.com site on October 15, although the pre-order option was later taken off. The page lists 14 song titles for the record, 11 of which have either been played live or leaked online over the past few years. The Pulse of Radio reports that one of those, "Street of Dreams", was previously known as "The Blues", while three titles, "Scraped", "Sorry" and "Prostitute", have not been heard anywhere.

According to Billboard.com, sources who have heard the album say that it opens with a "blood-curdling Axl Rose scream."

Two different covers will apparently be available, along with CD and vinyl versions. What appears to be one of the covers has been posted at the Best Buy site, showing what seems to be a bicycle with a basket perched on it (see image below).

There has still not been an official announcement regarding the November 23 arrival date for the record.

"Chinese Democracy" has been in the works since the mid-'90s, with speculation and mystery surrounding the album's 13-year journey, ever-changing roster of players and spiraling recording costs.
