The NYT has a fascinating story on Axl Rose and the hoped-for comeback (at least among execs at Geffen and other corporations) of Guns 'n' Roses. Alas, "Chinese Democracy" is now more than 10 years in the making, and production costs exceed $13 million.
Key excerpt:
"The 'Chinese Democracy' album is very close to being completed," Merck Mercuriadis, the chief executive officer of Sanctuary Group, which manages Mr. Rose, wrote in a recent statement. He added that other artists including Peter Gabriel and Stevie Wonder "have throughout their careers consistently taken similar periods of time without undeserved scrutiny as the world respects that this is what it can sometimes take to make great art."
