Well the craziest story I've heard was that there's some kind of voodoo spell on Axl Rose that... well, causes every carefully plotted plan regarding Chinese Democracy to be blown to shit the minute it manifests. The text
below was copied from an email:
[...] And then someone cursed Axl Rose. A mighty Bokor - a voodoo priest - he created a spell so powerful,
no one could ever break it. The spell read: "From this day on when it's retail, let Axl meet an EPIC FAIL" [...]
And so it was written
The new direction should be more "eastern"? Chinese letters & culture are hyped over the top - FAIL.
Axl braids his hair for a new exciting look? Braided hair grow fashionable and every fat student has 'em - FAIL.
Axl tries to create a new sound going Industrial? Industrial music flooding the market - FAIL.
CD gets handed over by the time "Contraband" got handed over? Management issues; record delayed - FAIL.
Great shows during 2006 and now a new complete album? Management screwheads; record delayed - FAIL.
Exclusive rights to include Shackler's Revenge on Rock Band 2? Shackler's Revenge leaks - FAIL.
[...]
This is so retarded
