Guns N Roses Reality Show? 2008-04-09 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 12 Comments | The interwebs mill is rife with rumours of a reality show in the offing documenting the making of Guns N' Roses mythical Chinese Democracy album... if anybody ever gets around to informing Axl Rose.

But there are still outstanding issues between the singer and the label, not the least of which is a recording cost for the project which (depending on who you believe), has reached between $11 and $15 million. Another stickler is the digital rights for the tracks, along with some proposed "bonus" tracks Geffen would like to release digitally.
This reality show project would be part of a larger effort to build buzz for an album which faces a number of promotional hurdles. Rose's recent concert appearances have been erratic at best, and many fans of the classic Guns N' Roses lineup are going to require some persuasion before embracing this new sound. Rose is also not an especially "journalist-friendly" preformer, making promotion for the project even more difficult.
...According to the network source, the deal for the show is "close, but not signed." Part of the holdup seems to be the timing, as the particpants want to integrate the show into a timeline with the leadup to the album's release, along with the announcment of a limited number of concert dates.

Jarmo Luukkonen, webmaster of the band's official message board, has dismissed the rumours as "not true," however in a follow-up, the article's author Rick Ellis noted:

sweet jesus hell yes

This would be amazing. I would pay money just to see what Axl Rose does on a daily basis. He must be one of the craziest people alive. or dead.
| | |
He's not crazy, he's just crazy about himself. This sounds kinda lame, If Buckethead were still with them it would be a completely different story. But this sounds like they're just trying to buy more time.
I'm going to laugh at how disappointing the album will be. Even if it ends up being as good as AFD, it won't nearly live up to the hype.This Message Edited On 04.09.08

The only hype for this that I've really seen lately is the fact that it's taken way to fucking long, and the speculation that it prolly won't be very good.
| | |
We all know Chinese Democracy doesn't exist.
| | |
I could careless about Chinese Democracy now, its had far too much hype to live up to what it is if it exists anyway.
| | |
i would laugh if Chinese Democracy sucked
| | |
lol Mythical

Did no one else see this? lolz

Oh sweet Jesus this is the best news I have ever heard. Pretty much only because I thought nothing could lower my interest in either Axl Rose or the new cd further, but there you have it. That said, Im being a massive hypocrite because if I am sure of one thing in this world, it will be that I check out the cd if it ever does meander onto a shelf near me.
