I'm still a huge Gn'R fan... Yes, I liked Chinese Democracy... I think it's a great record. Obviously, it's not traditional Gn'R for me. I won't argue with that... but it's a great album nonetheless..

It's been nine years since Axl Rose gave a substantial print interview. For all that time and more, he's been working on the album "Chinese Democracy," which finally arrived in late November.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/specials/axl-speaks/interview.shtml">The album came out in the United States as a Best Buy retail exclusive and debuted at No. <SPAN class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">3</SPAN> on the Billboard <SPAN class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">200</SPAN> with first-week sales of <SPAN class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">261,000</SPAN>, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Axl Rose: Not so much that it wouldn't come out but that we could in some way legally be forced to release it either incomplete or with so many business areas unresolved that the beginning would be the end as well.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E8486177-7D6D-4C22-89FE-C7251AF5D825/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
