Today BBC Radio 1's Sara Cox played the title track from the long-delayed Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy. The show can be heard over at the iPlayer.
As most of Guns N' Roses long ago left to form Velvet Revolver, this album is, infamously, something of an Axl Rose solo project, albeit with a revolving door of new band members.
The Roses have, in their various guises, been on the road between album releases; a Europe and North America tour in 2006 included a spot at the Download Festival.
The album, the first original studio material since Use Your Illusion back in 1991 and first album of any kind since The Spaghetti Incident, is expected in November. In the UK it will be released on Polydor.
So. Are you waiting with baited breath? Can it possibly live up to the self-generated hype? Does the world in 2008 really care about Guns N' Roses? What do you make of the single?
