By Josh Visser (CHARTattack) November 20, 2008 5:38 pm
Let's cut through the bullshit right off the top: Chinese Democracy is the second-best album to have the Guns N' Roses moniker on it. Fourteen years, $13 million, Slash, Izzy and Duff were all lost in the making of Chinese Democracy, and you know what? It was totally worth it. It's overproduced, over-the-top, even downright ridiculous at points...

But that aside, "Chinese Democracy," which hit radio today, is a pretty rad track. Once Axl Rose's patented banshee scream kicks in over a thunderous guitar...

Guns N' Roses Better Late Than Provoking Riots

Going to see the Guns N' Roses in '06 is like a strange rock 'n' roll chess match. If you're Portland, Maine, Axl Rose simply tips the game board over and decides not to play. Vancouver or Montreal — if the past is any indication — have the riot squad on standby. Toronto's a different game. This show was a near-sellout, and forthcoming GN'R...
