WEIGH IN ON THE NEW GN’R SINGLE
So my own cynicism be damned, a new Guns N’ Roses single hit radios this morning – the title track from Chinese Democracy, which, it would now appear, just really might be coming out this year. New York City’s own Q104.3 is currently streaming the song, which has gone through changes since the last leaked version we’ve heard, including new drums, guitars, and, oh yeah, vocals. Seriously, you have to think that a Chinese Democrazy box set with all the various incarnations these songs have gone through over the past fifteen years would be kind of fascinating.
ANYWAY, Vince, myself, and the other inhabitants of the MetalSucks Mansion will have lots and lots of time to weigh-in on new GN’R in the coming month, so for now, we just wanna hear what you think. Check out the song and then weigh in below.
Also, if anyone can explain the lyric “It would take a lot more time than you/ I’ve got more masturbation” to me, it’d be much appreciated.
UPDATE: We just got a press release with comments from GN’R manager Andy Gould, so I guess that settles it; the album is really coming out. Also, producing credit will apparently be split between Axl Rose and someone named Caram Costanzo. I looked up Costanzo on All Music, and while he’s done engineering work for everyone from Rage Against the Machine to Lil’ Kim, it looks like this will be his first producing credit.
Also, check out the band’s official site!
