Christman of Billboard.com reports that negotiations are underway for GUNS N' ROSES' long-delayed "Chinese Democracy" to come out as an exclusive at one of the big boxes — either Wal-Mart or Best Buy.

Negotiations are also ongoing to have conventional record company distribution, a source tells Billboard.com.

GUNS N' ROSES is now managed by Irving Azoff's Front Line Management, and Azoff is a well-known proponent of issuing albums exclusively through retailers. He released THE EAGLES' "Long Road Out of Eden" through Wal-Mart, much to the chagrin of other merchants.

Two things. One, this is a prety legit source yeah? I mean, Billboard aren't ones for gossip mongouring? I'm not too up to speed on the site.

 Second. This is major major news! If they're actually in negotiations it means the CD is done and almost ready surely?

 Edit: Quote from the bottom of the article "A Wal-Mart representative says the chain couldn't confirm this fall's exclusives". I think that's pushing it a bit lol

[kennyhodges]

it wont be exclusive to wal mart cuz it would have to be edited
