CHINESE DEMOCRACY has finally arrived. One of the most highly anticipated albums in rock history, the long-awaited Chinese Democracy marks the first album of new material from Guns N' Roses since 1991's simultaneous release of Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II. With a frenzied energy, Guns N' Roses arrived on the music scene in the mid-'80s and rock was never the same. Now the enormously influential G N' R is ready to rock once again.

The album will be the first installment in a trilogy of new albums. Band members have stated that once the album released, the other two albums would be more follow much more quickly, leading many fans to believe that the albums would surface months after one another similar to what bands like System of a Down have done in recent history. However at this time, this is only optimistic speculation, however Rose admitted in 2007 to having 40-50 finished studio tracks completed as well as close to 100 completed demos on multiple occasions.

Many have noticed the departure in sound in comparison to old GN'R records which Axl Rose himself has stated in a Rolling Stone interview in 2006, "Some people are going to say: 'It doesn't sound like Axl Rose, it doesn't sound like Guns n' Roses'". He later added, "But you'll like at least a few songs on there"
