Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy Album Art, Tracklisting

thumbnail icon: Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy Album Art, Tracklisting

You'll need to squint, but Axl Rose's favorite store Bestbuy has the real (it would seem) Chinese Democracy album art (one of three promised versions, at least). It's tastefully understated ... which seems suspicious considering the songs we've heard from the collection. Remember, you should be able to get your hands on the real album by the end of November, just in time for your turkey jokes. For now, get out your magnifying glass:

The songs:

01 "Chinese Democracy"
02 "Scraped"
03 "Shackler's Revenge"
04 "Street Of Dreams"
05 "If The World"
06 "Better"
07 "This I Love"
08 "There Was A Time"
09 "Riad N' The Bedovins"
10 "Sorry"
11 "I.R.S."
12 "Catcher"
13 "Madagascar"
14 "Prostitute"

Of course, we're not sure which versions of the tracks will appears, but you should remember "Shackler's Revenge" and some of the others.

Chinese Democracy is out 11/25 via Best Buy. There are already 17 reviews.

Um, Axl? Where's "The Blues"?

The Blues might be renamed "Street of Dreams", but that's just a guess from the lyrics

I've hated Axl Rose since way back in the "Nirvana VS Guns n Roses" days in the early 90s. It's going to be hilarious to see this pseudo-industrial piece of shit record fall flat on its face. Your career is dead, shitdick. Step away from the stage and focus on stuff you're good at - like tossing your supermodel girlfriends down flights of stairs.

I just cannot wait for this album. I don't care about Axl, I don't care how long it took to be released. I want the music!!!, the leaks were good stuff man. Only track I didn't like was "Shackler's Revenge", but the others are just amazing, especially "The Blues" and "If The World".

I'll believe it when it hits the shelves. On the other hand, I don't even care!

I like that he covers Madonna, sings a theme song for a popular children's film, and reveals his preferred position for homosexual activities all in the same album.

I read the new Daniel Pinchbeck book where he talks about the signs pointing to the apocalypse.
1. 2008 Financial melt down
2. G'n'R release Chinese Democracy.
- The Aztec's foretold this dark day friends. Be ready for the end. A new beginning.
