It's been a while since a Guns N' Roses album not ready for release story has appeared so given that we thought you might be missing them here's another to keep you amused.
A long time associate of the band Del James has released the following update on the status of the band's eternally delayed album 'Chinese Democracy'.
"The good news is that all of the recording for the album has been completed. Drummer Frank Ferrer and guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal integrated themselves into the recordings seamlessly and will have their presence felt.
"There is no official release date, as the band is currently mixing, but after some delays and scheduling difficulties, things appear to be moving along."
Axl Rose announced in December on Guns N' Roses' official website a "tentative" March 6 release date. It doesn't take a genious to work out that this date is going to come and go without a new record.
A rough demo of one track, 'Better' has been played on an American radio station as well as appearing on a number of download sites, promting the band's management to contact all carrying the track asking them to remove it.
Commenting on the leek on his website forum guitarist Bumblefoot wrote:
"The latest 'leak' is obviously some experimental mix of 'Better' - not any version I ever heard, but I don't claim to have heard everything that's out there... Whoever put it out there did a real mindfucking of the fans, especially to do it now, when the album's release is growing closer."
GN'R will embark on a world tour in April which includes the band's first ever dates in Africa, as well as shows in Japan with further gigs planned for South America and Australia.
