Chinese Democracy Gets Nov. Release Date

Yes, the looooooooong-awaited Guns 'n' Roses disc Chinese Democracy will be for sale on electronics retail chain Best Buy's racks all across the country on Nov. 23.

As for Dr. Pepper's offer to give everyone in the US a can of their soft drink if Chinese Democracy goes on sale before Dec. 31 of this year, the company's VP of marketing, Tony Jacobs, had this to say to Billboard:

"We're waiting to hear about Chinese Democracy just like all the other GnR fans. But if the rumors are true, we're putting the Dr Pepper on ice."

Too bad we drink something else.

Meanwhile, the vinyl version of GnR's seminal Appetite for Destruction will be reissued on Oct. 28.
