Life will never be the same

It’s officially official, Chinese Democracy is coming out exclusively at Best Buy on the 23rd. I myself, am hoping to get the vinyl copy so I can rock the night away. But indeed, it will be a sad day as I have long hoped that the album become just a myth, and that myth turn [...]

Does that mean we get 4 Dr. Peppers?

Chinese Democracy Debuts in Rock Band 2

So after the years and the money and the Dr. Pepper and the leak and the other leak and the latest leak and Buckethead and you know, the Metaphor, it appears that officially the first (perhaps) OFFICIAL Chinese Democracy song will be released on Rock Band 2.

You Know it! Free DP!

Like I know you care, but 9 tracks from Chinese Democracy have leaked and I am praying with all my might I can get my hands on them.

Yes! Yes! Yes!…No! No! No!

Oh ho! Another installment of my complete and total fascination with all things Chinese Democracy!

2. They have apparently delivered the album to Geffen records!
3. Free Dr. Skipper for Everybody! (except that motherfucker Slash)
I am not sure how this could get [...]
