More Guns N Roses
Guns N' Roses long-awaited album 'Chinese Democracy' will be released on November 23rd, according to US reports.
The album, which has been fourteen years in the making, will be available exclusively in Best Buy stores in the US.
The release date, a Sunday instead of the usual Tuesday, is specifically designed to target the American Thanksgiving market and means the album won't chart until December 1st at the earliest.
Billboard magazine claim the band's 1987 debut album 'Appetite for Destruction' will also be re-released at the end of this month.
As previously reported on Festivalwise, one of the album's tracks 'If The World' is currently appearing in the credits to the movie Body of Lies, which stars Leonard DiCaprio.
Another, 'Shackler's Revenge', will make its debut on the video game Rock Band 2.

Fans recently heard 'Shackler's Revenge', another song from the album, on the video game Rock Band 2.
