From Billboard.com:

Best Buy is set to be the exclusive retailer for Guns N’ Roses decade-plus-in-the-making new album “Chinese Democracy” before year’s end, sources close to the situation tell Billboard. Some details of the deal are still being worked out, including the release date.

ANOTHER supposedly credible, supposedly somewhat official announcement? Well, we’ll see how this goes. I gotta believe Axl would not allow “Shackler’s Revenge” on Rock Band 2 or “If the World” in the movie Body of Lies unless there was SOME plan in place for an official release by the end of the year.

The rumored release date is November 25th, but we’ve heard this story before, even from Axl’s own mouth. So, I won’t believe it until I have the CD blasting in my car stereo.

Exclusive seems to be the best way to go these days for veteran acts, but if this is happening, they need to make an official announcement and start hyping the bejeezus out of this album real quick.

I’m looking foward to it though, most people seem to take the time to proclaim their hate and disinterest in the current band, but the whole album has pretty much been leaked and I think it’s great. Is it old school GNR? No, but it’s still great music, people should take the blinders off. I can’t wait to hear the final and cleaned up versions on CD.
