Guns N Roses Album Leaked Online

Could it be? Could it really, honestly, actually be? Guns N Roses' long awaited album 'Chinese Democracy' may just be poised for release after nine tracks appeared on the internet (and were smiftly removed).
'Chinese Democracy' was originally scheduled for release in March 2007, with production beginning in 1994.
Now, 14 years and $13 million later a release may be on the cards.
Nine songs appeared online yesterday (June 18), apparently mastered and finished tracks from Guns N' Roses long (and we mean LONG) awaited new album.
Six songs have previously appeared online in unfinished form: 'Better', 'The Blues, 'Madagascar', 'IRS' 'Chinese Democracy' and 'There Was A Time', and three - 'Rhiad And The Bedouins', 'If The World' and one unnamed track - are apparently brand spanking new.
The leaked tracks - which appeared on music blog Antiquiet have now been removed, with Antiquiet explaining:
"The player has been at least temporarily removed, because it basically broke the entire internet. Also we got a call from Guns N Roses."
Music magazine Billboard - who managed to have a quick listen before the tracks were speedily whisked away - describes 'Rhiad' as having a "trademark down-and-dirty main guitar riff and flashy solo", 'If The World' as a "head spinning bledn of flamenco guitar, industrial synth tones, bluesy piano licks" and the unnamed track as an "unusual melange of piano-led crooning, orchestral bombast and a serene instrumental."
So, could it be that Axl Rose's troubled production is nearing completion? And if so do you reckon Dr. Pepper will come good and give a free can of drink to "everyone in America"?
What do you reckon? Have you heard the tracks yourself? Let us know what you think below.

? All, apart from one track have already been posted last year , any fan of GNR already has this album, I am already bored of it and the new over dubs and vocals are,in places, not as good.
I dont think Geffen should spend much marketing this , its a runaway fail, note to gnr dont spend 13 years making an album , cuts into the profits a bit. Well I did enjoy this last year, but really when you make the stone roses look like a quicky album band you have problems.
