You make a good point Gagarin. But on the other hand EVERY album leaks. Usually not this far in advance but still. It's pretty odd that GnR happens to be the band they are pursuing it over.

Now, the label does have alot more money invested in this album than others, but its pretty ridiculous for them to think this Skwerl guy is going to prevent them from recouping their $13 million.

Yeah, Metallica attacks internet file sharers and releases an album full of demos. If CD as a finished version sounds remotely similar to these 9 tracks we shall call it St Anger 2.

It's similar to google maps street view Buzzsaw, but more insane. Seems like it grabs random pictures and combines them to form it's own interactive street view map. Crazy, but one of those things you see & it's probably the future.

"Y'know what I think? Don't really matter what I think. Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window."

"When I go home people'll ask me, "Hey Hoot, why do you do it man? What, you some kinda war junkie?" You know what I'll say? I won't say a goddamn word. Why? They won't understand. They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand that it's about the men next to you, and that's it. That's all it is. "

Take care man, be safe, and when you get back here we'll continue our 'Chinese Democracy is coming out soon' threads...

Rolling Stone said a Fall release date in 06 & 07 so 08 is not really saying much.

I still don't think it's going to come out.
