Guns N’ Roses – “Chinese Democracy”

Holy shit! A new Guns N’ Roses song!

Yup, it’s true. It looks like Hell is about to freeze over, as Axl officially released a new song from the decade plus in the making Chinese Democracy.

The self-titled track was just released to radio stations, and after giving it few listens, I can simply say that it rocks.

While it may not be one of his best tracks, it’s not horrible. It’s a straight ahead rock track that’s been lacking in mainstream rock as of late. “Chinese Democracy” features classic Axl vocals, blazing guitar work and a pretty catchy chorus. It’s good enough to please Guns N’ Roses fans, and it makes me pretty amped about the album’s release, which is reportedly going to be November 23 via a Best Buy exclusive.

You can hear for yourself right here.

Update! G’n'f’n'r has added the song to their Imeem page!

Chinese Democracy – Guns N Roses

Besides being a decent song, fans should defiantly be rejoicing about this song. As this is the first official G’N'R radio release since 1999′s forgettable “Oh My God”.

Also, it further proves that Chinese Democracy may actually be released as promised this time.

Besides “Chinese Democracy” hitting radio stations at 5 am this morning, Axl has been smartly releasing tracks from the new album within the last couple of months. There was “Shackler’s Revenge” on Rock Band 2, and then there was the track “If The World” being played during the credits of Body of Lies.

While Axl has teased us with tours and MTV appearances over the last few years, this finally seems to be the real deal. It’s one thing to go out on the road and test some new material, but it’s quit different to actually release finished material. Now that we have three tracks officially out there, it looks like we’re finally going to have Chinese Democracy.

I hate to say it, but, kudos Axl on a job well done.
