Why is the next new Gn'R album called Chinese Democracy?

Is it because the Chinese as a nation are over controlled?. Something about Tiananmen Square protests of 1989?. Does it have something to do with their shit attitude towards animals? Even Google can?t operation properly in China. Is Axl hopping with the release of Chinese Democracy then things might chance for the better.

A friend posted me this link today. Its secret footage shot in China. After seeing it, I kinda put me off fur and people who wear fur for life. Doesn?t Axl like to wear fur coats???

because the first was called 2000 intentions (for the year 2000).  when that came and went, Axl needed a name that couldn't possibly occur before the event happened, hence, chinese democracy ok

"Chinese Democracy" has been the working title at least since 1999.  That's when Kurt Loder first broke the story on MTV and talked to Axl by phone on the air.

As far as 'why CD', no one really seems to know.  And in my opinion he should've gone with something else.  While CD is legendary and has to stick due to the time that has gone by and limitless associations with it, I think the title itself as well as the whole marketing trip sucks.  I hate the new China-funked GN'R logo.

I don't think the album was ever titled 2000 Intentions...
Wasn't that just a rumour that came from Hit Parader, or something like that?

I could be wrong, but I don't remember 2000 Intentions ever being mentioned by anyone in the GNR camp.

The emotion in this next song, that's all that it's about. It's not like an intelligent song, it doesn't have the answer to anything. But it's the title track of the record which, God willing, we will finish. And it's not necessarily pro or con about China. It's just that right now China symbolizes one of the strongest, yet most oppressive countries and governments in the world. And we are fortunate to live in a free country. And so in thinking about that, it just kind of upset me. So we wrote this little song called "Chinese Democracy".

That video is disgusting and if i was to see such an horrific thing happening to beautiful animals i would skin the fucking cunt doing it no questions asked :anger:

Same here. That piece of footage in one of those blocks where the animal is rolling around furless in the back of the truck is the most horrific thing I have possibly ever seen in my life. I'd fucking use a potato peeler on him and I aint kidding.


I can't get that image outta my head, its going to stick with me for months. It goes beyond what my mind is capable of thinking of how much pain that dog must have felt.

Axl probably just named the album after the title song, 'Chinese Democracy'. A lot of bands have done that...
