NEWS DIGEST: Thursday, October 23

It's official. Chinese Democracy, Guns N' Roses' first album of new material since 1991, will be available from November 23. It will appear on CD and vinyl in the UK the following day. The record is to be released through Black Frog/Geffen Records.

Produced by Axl Rose and Caram Costanzo, Chinese Democracy's 14 tracks have been put together over the last 15 years. The title track is streaming online now. You can hear it by clicking HERE.

“The release of Chinese Democracy marks a historic moment in rock ‘n’ roll,” said Irving Azoff and Andy Gould, Guns N’ Roses’ co-managers, “and we’re launching with a monumental campaign that matches the groundbreaking sound of the album itself. Guns N’ Roses fans have every reason to celebrate, for this is only the beginning.”

The full tracklisting looks like this:

Chinese Democracy
Scraped
Shackler's Revenge
Street Of Dreams
If The World
Better
This I Love
There Was A Time
Riad N' The Bedovins
Sorry
I.R.S.
Catcher
Madagascar
Prostitute

  • Clapton's even worse than Metallica - he's only playing England but he boasts that he's doing a "UK" tour. Still he's friends with Tony B liar.
