Laura Barton on the long wait for the 'new' Guns N' Roses album
Fifteen years, a collection of live recordings and a greatest hits album have done little to remove the lingering disappointment of The Spaghetti Incident?, GN'R's last official album, a hotch-potch of punk and glam-rock covers. Still, for the band's devotees, there was always the sweet promise of their next full record of new material, Chinese Democracy, the recording of which began in 1994.
The years went by, line-ups changed, dates were set and missed, tours passed, haircuts altered and £6.5m of recording costs were allegedly spent. Dr Pepper promised a free can of pop to every American if GN'R could just see their way to releasing the album this year. But still no official release date.
Then, last week, nine of its tracks were leaked on the internet. The source has yet to be ascertained, but it began on an American blog, Antiquiet, where a poster named Skwerl uploaded the tracks claiming that they were both "mastered and finished". Six had been leaked before: Better, The Blues, the title track, Madagascar, IRS and There Was a Time.
This time, they were more polished, and there were three new songs, including Rhiad and the Bedouins, which Billboard magazine describes as "a pounding rocker with a trademark down-and-dirty main guitar riff and a flashy solo" and If the World, apparently a "blend of flamenco guitar, industrial synth tones, bluesy piano licks and Axl Rose at the top of his vocal register".
It is, though, hard to remain optimistic about an album that has taken 14 years, and marries flashy guitar solos, industrial synths, flamenco and blues. Other sources have spoken of the album's "grandiosity", while Rose himself has stated that Chinese Democracy is "a very complex record".
One is put in mind of the tale of the Emperor's New Clothes, so opulently described, but which ultimately transpired to not exist. With the record company still refusing to comment on a release date, let's hope that can of Dr Pepper is the only thing the band's patient fans miss out on.

Patrick Swayze diagnosed with cancer
The 55-year-old actor is currently "responding well to treatment", according to a statement released by his publicist.
The statement dismissed previous media reports which suggested that the star only had weeks to live.
Swayze's physician, Dr George Fisher, said in a statement: "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment."
"All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic."
The statement also said that Swayze deeply appreciated the "outpouring of support and concern" he has received from the public.
The actor is best know for his roles as dance teacher Johnny in 'Dirty Dancing' and the deceased character Sam in 'Ghost'.

Ray Liotta cops to 'Youth in Revolt'
Michael Cera also in comedy based on C.D. Payne novels
The movie is an adaptation of the popular novels by C.D. Payne that follows Nick Twisp, a smart, sexually obsessed teen living in a world of moronic adults.
Cera plays Twisp. Liotta will play a cop who is having an affair with Twisp's mom (Jean Smart). When that relationship goes sour, the cop gets his twisted revenge on the mom by going after Nick, who stands accused of arson.
Liotta has made a career of playing dramatic or gritty characters, though lately he seems to have found his funny bone -- he's shooting "Observe and Report" with Seth Rogen for Warner Bros. and will shoot "Youth" in July.
"It's not really a conscious choice," Liotta said about his new turn. "I'm doing them because they're interesting stories and they allow me to show a side that I haven't been able to show in a lot of other movies. I think it's funny I play these tough guys anyhow. Most of my friends that I grew up with really find it funny that I play those characters because I've never been in a fight my whole life."
Before audiences see Liotta in comedic form, however, they'll first see him opposite Harrison Ford and Sean Penn in Wayne Kramer's immigration thriller "Crossing Over" and with Jessica Alba in "Powder Blue."
Liotta is repped by WMA and Untitled.
