Will "Chinese Democracy" be actually called "Chinese Democracy"??

[CheapJon]

Since they are sticking with the Chinese theme while on tour, i guess the album will still be called Chinese Democracy. What i find really odd though, is they donot appear to perform Chinese Democracy at the shows too often. And truth be known, the track Chinese Democracy is one of the weaker songs from the new band. It is no where near as good as Better, The Blues or IRS. Behind these 3 tracks we have Madagascar, Catcher in the Rye, both bettter tracks than Chinese Democracy. Then theres Riyad and the Bedouins, even that has more potential.

yeah i agree, they will most likely call the album CD.. 'cause as you say why should they keep the chinese style of the t-shirts and stage etc. i think the song CD is pretty darn cool, after i saw the DVD from hammerstein NYC 17 june i think that song really grew on me.. there was a kind of a xylophone sound (almost jungle sound) in it wich was really cool and i hadn't heard that before.. i think the studioversion is gonna be killer

Yes, except it may be called "Chinese Democracy Part 1". I am basing this on nothing.

[Skinflick]

It's gotta be called Chinese Democracy......it has been called that for years and it is becoming a familiar name to people who have forgotten GNR years ago and others who bad mouth the band...even though they are going to buy the album anyway.

followed by "Chinese Democracy Part 2" then part 3? with a subtitle unique to each album.
Or vol.1, 2, 3.

i don't think they'll change the name, it's a very good one, everybody is asking about chinese democracy....
i hope they'll keep on doing it when the record hits the stores

[tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr]

It's gonna be called Chinese Democracy. It would be dumb to change the name now, plus with the stage still having the Chinese theme. At the VMAs John Norris specifically asked if Chinese Democracy would be coming out soon, and Axl responded "it is this year" as we all know. If the name changed he probably would have said something about it then.

Wait and see.. so far, I haven't heard any band member actually talkin' about "Chinese Democracy".. They just call it "the record"

'The Record' would be a great name. It's a surprise, it's cutting edge.....nah, it's shite.
But I haven't heard actually heard Axl refer to 'Chinese Democracy' the album, just the song.

[codenameninja]

I think name Chinese Democracy is too specific. If Axl wants to have views on communism, then why focus on China? there are other communist countries out there. Maybe its more shallow than that, and Axl simply likes the new font style. It really would not surprize me if the album was called something else and the name Chinese Democracy was simply a working title. Or, it could be called Chinese Democracy simply because there is a track called Chinese Democracy on the album (which is a kinda boring reason). If that were the case, then why not simply call the album Madagascar, as thats a cool name and sounds like an amazing place.

since the release of the Dreamworks film Madagascar i do kinda associate the name Madagascar with that film 

[Dr. Blutarsky]

it will stay as 'chinese democracy', the name itself is already massive/well-known

so is Adolf Hitler, but I doubt anyone would want to use it

Don't be so sure.

Years ago someone used Elvis Hitler. Kind of a take off on Marilyn Manson.

At the concert in Vegas 010101, he introduced 'Chinese Democracy' (the song) as 'the title-track of the record'

Elvis Hitler would be a great title for Chinese Democracy! (joking)

First: You can't copy right a title (this is for the Offspring argument).
Second: During the HAmmerstein shows, Axl specifically said he new everyone was waiting for the new album, which he called "Chinese Democracy."

[nesquick]

"Chinese Democracy" is already like a trademark. The name of this album is already famous before it's even released.... of course it will still be called "Chinese Democracy".

[BluesGNR]

I have just a slight feeling that it may keep the title 'Chinese Democracy'... but it's just a hunch...

[jameslofton29]

i think i smell a dead horse here....

Take out "I think" from that sentence and you have hit the nail on the head.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

It's gonna be called "Nail on the Head!"

Axl is hammering a nail into something he hates.  Maybe Mao Zedong?

Sorry guys, I'm on the NyQuil! (I love that stuff)

[jameslofton29]

Back in my drug days, I used to drink that shit like it was water. It helped me stop drinking. Instead of a bottle of whiskey, I always carried around a bottle of Nyquil.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Duuuuuuuude!  I just thought of the perfect album cover!  A bottle of greeeeeen NyQuil!  That's so Warholian!  If I wasn't a fan, I'd buy the album just to look at the purty cover!
