STEAL THIS TRACK: GUNS N’ ROSES CHINESE DEMOCRACY LEAK, DAY 1 – “CHINESE DEMOCRACY”

Saturday, May 5th, 2007 at 11:28am by Axl Rosenberg

gnr56.jpgOh boy oh boy, do I live for days like today. Three brand spankin’ new studio-quality tracks from the perpetually in-the-works Axl Rose/ Guns N’ Roses comeback album Chinese Democracy have leaked, and your good friends Axl and Vince will be sharing them with you over the course of the next three days.

First up: the title track. It would logically seem that this is the song intended to open the album: the extended, moody build-up with the people whispering in Chinese, those first sweet, fuzz covered licks that Robin Finck teases us with, Axl’s sudden scream, and then an EXPLOSION of rock. Like the “Madagascar” track that leaked earlier this year, it would seem that Axl’s vocals still need some work, but otherwise, man, does this song (which the band has already been playing live since 2001) kick some major ass. It’s like some super-sick hybrid of GN’R and White Zombie: industrialized hard rock with just the right amount of tasty grooves to remind us why we always loved Axl in the first place. Finck and Buckethead trade off during the solo, with Finck supplying the sustain-heavy first half and BH going all Tom Morello on our asses for the big finish. The completed version should be KILLER.

    wow! this is serious. i wish axl would get off his ass and put this record out. everything that i’ve heard so far has been really good. is there any chance i could get these three tracks from you as mp3’s? i’d love to have these to listen to as i’m working out. love the site by the way!

  2. well, I’m surprised. that was better than any of the other songs he’s leaked/released since it was just him. it’s a good rock song. I don’t hear the White Zombie though. it’s not amazing though….

  3. M. Meyer says:

    Fuck yeah.

  4. James says:

    Much better than I expect. I was anticipating another “oh my god”.

  5. Jeff says:

    I’ve been monitoring this album since the House of Blues in 01′ (official return to the stage)

    THANK GOD they reworked this…the first time i heard it in 01′ i was very skeptical of the direction Axl was headed.

    All i have to say is…AXL DO THIS…2007…..this is amazing………..i can’t stop blairing it out of my Sony’s

  6. Jeff says:

    If you don’t mind…may i have the 3 new leaks as well….seems as though it’s getting tougher and tougher as days go on to grab them…
    Thank you very much
    I will email you

  7. Axl says:

  8. Axl says:

    Wow. What an intro, this rocks!

  10. admaryland says:

    wow this is amazing..can i have the tracks emailed to me too?

  11. ? says:

    I actually downloaded a different version (different vocals) of this song about a month ago that sounded much better. Hope that’s the one that ends up on the final album.

  12. paul says:

    oh man this sounds A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I always considered Chinese democracy being the best new GN’R track. and i was right! rock on !!! yeaaaaaahhh!

  13. Enrico says:

    HELLL YEAHHHH , THIS ROCKS!!!!!

  14. Leak says:

    Search for the song titles (I recommend ‘there was a time’) at http://www.gnrsearch.com go to the tab audio and then you will be able to download the song using one of the links for bittorrent (if you don’t have a torrent client I recommend azureus or bitcomet).

    gnrsearch.com doesn’t contain the songs, it just act as a search engine frontend removing the junk out of your face and categorizing stuff. Yeah, this is GNR only. ;)

  15. Chris Parker says:

    kick ass. GNR forever

  16. John says:

    the best song.. fuck, is very good! chinese democracy is rock!!

  17. missionaries says:

    FUCKING AMAZING
    ‘I LOVE YOU AXL

  18. [...] Los cuatro temas han sido publicados por la web MetalSucks durante esta semana, y pueden esucharlos en streaming pinchando en el nombre de cada una de ellos: Chinese Democracy,  The Blues,  There Was A Time, I.R.S., que recuerda poco o nada a los antiguos Guns N’ Roses. [...]

  19. Peter Katiem says:

    THE GREATEST FUCKING SONG IN THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!
    Can I have these three mp3s , PLEASE!?!?!?!?

  20. Anonymous says:

    the new generations “welcome to the jungle”

  21. Peter Katiem says:

    Yo ‘?’ , Where did you get the other version from? Plese send me some info man, THANK YOU!!!

  22. la verdad que al escuchar la voz de Axel me trae muchos recuerdos de cuando era un maldito hijo de puta de 17 años,el tema me parese bueno,pero nunca se asemejara a lo que se hizo en la formacion original,igual mucha mierda y suerte.

  23. hayley says:

    I hate to sound like an idiot..but after Buckethead left didn’t Axl cut out his parts then have Bumblefoot rerecord them?

  24. Hunter says:

    Any of you that think this song is anything more than a decent hard rock song are kidding yourselves. This song is generic to the core.

  25. D66 says:

  30. TC says:

    Can you send MP3’s to my email please???

  31. Ali says:

    Nothing generic about this one, hunter. Nothing at all. Melodic hard-rock with two distinctly different styles of solos combined over a simple, almost grunge-esque guitar riff. Combine that with Axl’s vocals. Is there anything out there that sounds like this? Hell. No.

    Ali

  32. Mark says:

  50. Zeke says:

    Have you ever considered playing the Violin, Mr. Rose? If the other guys in the band make fun of you and laugh, tell ‘em Zeke said it was cool to play Violin. I’m really going to enjoy the new album. Thanks for giving Earth a second chance.
