Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy Official Release Set For November 23rd

Hell may have finally frozen over. The long rumored and much maligned fifth GNR album from Axl Rose is finally going to see the light of day. After working on it for over 10 years, Rose has finally signed off on Chinese Democracy’s release. This news is probably a shock to many in the music industry and GNR fans after numerous promises of a new Guns N’ Roses album have come and gone with no album ever hitting store shelves.


But have no fear, this time it sounds like a done deal. Especially due to the involvement of retail giant Best Buy. GNR’s Chinese Democracy will “be a Best Buy exclusive and will be available Sunday, Nov. 23, rather than the usual Tuesday.” (link)

Truth be told, some of the tracks that briefly leaked a few months back were actually pretty good, which surprises The Blot considering how M.I.A. Rose has been for over a decade. That being said, I really have no interest in Axl or the Slash/Duff-less Guns N’ Roses anymore except to see what kind of train wreck this all turns into. If there is one thing I can be sure of it is that Axl will somehow screw his return to the spotlight up.

Huck Gee - Limited Edition Bootleg #6 Figure

Today, Friday October 10, 2008 at 12 PDT sees the next limited edition release in Huck’s Bootleg series. Strangely enough he is skipping from Bootleg #2 all the way to Bootleg #6. What does all this mean? Who knows, as we won’t find out what figure is in the mysterious Bootleg #6 box until UPS drops it on someone’s doorstep.


The Blot’s guess is that it is a clear resin version of Huck’s Skullhead #6 metal figure paperweight, which he released through Fully Visual earlier this year. That is the only reasonable explanation I can come up with for the jump in Bootleg numbers from number 2 to 6. Plus it just makes since with the corresponding number 6s.


There will only be 25 Bootleg #6 figures made and each package comes signed, numbered and stenciled. Each figure is $100 and limited to one per customer. If you’re interested in the Bootleg #6 figure get ready because you only have a few hours until the little guy goes on sale! As always you can purchase this custom Bootleg figure exclusively at Huck Gee’s eBay store.
