Guns n Roses’ long-awaited new album has been 14 years in the making. We aren’t all that excited about the album because we can’t remember who Guns n Roses are. Ha! The youth of today. Anyway, the surprise of their new album has been somewhat spoiled after tracks were leaked onto filesharing networks before the official release date.

The nine tracks first appeared on little-known rock website www.antiquiet.com. They then made its way onto filesharing networks and onto peoples’ computers and iPods.

The album reportedly cost the ridiculous sum of $13 million to produce. Must have been a lot of hairspray.

After 14 years of making an album, it’s no surprise that it ended up being leaked before it was due for release. If there are any Guns n Roses fans left, they will likely have got the album through filesharing networks first before they buy the CD, so it’s unlikely that sales will be affected too much.
