This is hilairous.  Look at Bumblefoot.  This has to be the funniest photoshopped picture I have ever seen

Saw this at chinesedemocracy.com forum:

This is probably bs, it came from nowhere, he says #2 is catcher in the rye, not sure if hes talking about leak #2 or if the 2nd song on the album is CITR.  Just thought id show it to you guys because i think the 3 part idea is really good and thought people might like to elaborate on it. anyway

I am curently an ex employee of Axl's personal production team for Chinese Democracy. There are 19 songs on the album and it will be released in 3 parts. The first part which has a release date on the 25 August of this year. Shacklers revenge is the 11th track on the album and the title of song 2 is called Catcher in the Rye. I hope this answers all your questions and it is definately coming this year, and the wait definately will and has been worth it.

There is some sense in it because SR being # 11 would make it on the 2nd part and would seem to coincide with RBs release date.

here is the part that mentions GNR:

The success of Guitar Hero and Rock Band have made them important new sources of income for bands. Irving Azoff, whose Front Line Management manages Aerosmith and other major artists, says videogame deals can be "much more lucrative than anything you can do in the record business." Industry executives say bands can receive millions of dollars up front, plus a generous royalty on sales. A person close to Aerosmith says the band expects to make more money from the game title than it has from any of its dozen-plus studio albums.

Since the last versions of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, game companies have paid artists a royalty on sales of their games in exchange for rights to use their master recordings in the games. Before that, music games typically featured covers of famous songs by sound-alike bands.

Mr. Azoff says music videogames can also help his clients by boosting traditional music sales. Sales of Aerosmith's "Same Old Song and Dance" shot up 130% in the week following the release of Guitar Hero 3, which included the track, Activision says.

Clients including Van Halen, the Eagles, Steely Dan and Guns N' Roses "all have deals of varying types in the works with one or the other or both of these companies," says Mr. Azoff, referring to the makers of Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
