Popular Post Blackstar Posted May 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Like @Ratam said, Hong Kong is autonomous from China and not under Chinese law. Axl played in Hong Kong in August 2002 and said where he got the idea for the album name and cover. Quote On 08/14, at the tour opener in China, Axl proved the cover art was indeed ready. "Before [GNR] played [CD], [Axl] told a little anecdote why the new album is called 'Chinese Democracy'. He said it was because he saw a photo taken in Hong Kong, which he's using as the new album cover. And then he showed it on the video screens, and it was a black and white picture of a bicycle with a basket, and in the wall behind it, someone had grafittied 'Guns N' Roses'!!! He said 'I didn't paint that myself, so one of you motherfuckers out there must have did it!'" (Fan review) "At one point, that was going to be the cover of the record - I'm not sure if it's now. This one guy... he was my keyboard tech at the time... Michael... and I mean he was in China at the time and he saw that and took a picture and showed it to Axl." (Dizzy, Metal Sludge, 01/29/06) [...] "Axl Rose was spotted in Shanghai on Tuesday (October 8). Was the Guns N' Roses mastermind taking Chinese Democracy to the streets instead of the studio? Who knows ... there's still no release date in sight." (MTV, 10/09/02) "Guns N' Roses were apparently [...] in Shanghai [...] last week [...] recording a video for the track 'Catcher In The Rye', which is taken from their forthcoming new album 'Chinese Democracy'." (Metal Hammer, 10/20/02) http://www.gnrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?id=3543 Quote Bach: And than you were telling me the other day that you lived in China for three months? Axl: Yeah, we went and stayed in China for about three months, Beijing, Shanghai, and Xian. Bach: What was that like? Axl: We'll he filmed like, you know they eat alot of bugs. Bach: What is it like the Fear Factor show? Axl: Absolutely Trunk: How long ago did you live there? Bach: Did you eat bugs? Axl: Well, I didn't live there, we just went and stayed there a couple of years ago. Trunk: A couple of years ago. That inspired the name of the album at all? Axl: No it was before that but then I just thought I should go. I wanted to go before they banned me. So, you know, I mean Chinese Democracy that doesn't quite work for the government over there. Eddie Trunk interview, 2006 Quote Interviewer: And Chinese Democracy? That is, I heard, been banned from playing in China. Axl: Ha! I think the foreign minister…the minister of… something… He said people don't like that music because it is too loud. Interviewer: I would love you to be able to go to China and meet the Minister of Culture I think that would be- Axl: But my thing with China itself isn't about… With the term Chinese Democracy it isn't- wasn't about trying to tell them to have a democracy or anything like that. I'm not… really a… I don't really have an opinion of what type of government they should have. My thing is that I went and stayed there for about three months and everywhere I went the people are so shielded from what's going on in the world. And if you stay in the hotels there… you're from western society or something you don't realize that the stuff you're seeing on TV the average person isn't seeing. They aren't seeing that version of CNN or whatever. But the biggest thing to me was that… everywhere you went people were scared. They were frightened for their lives to have an opinion that deviates from the government's about the simplest thing. Things we take for granted you know, sitting in a car and someone going "Oh what Obama did today" if you say "Oh, I don't know about the… communist party is doing…" Your translator all sudden is terrified and for good reason.

It's the priceless experience of having it signed by the artist just in front of you (like my Les Paul after a SMKC gig a couple of years ago) that really counts... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MildlyArtistic Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 It's a shame Guns N' Roses aren't allowed to play a show in mainland China. Repressive dictatorship aside, gigs there tend to make some really interesting setlists. The times Metallica played there were quite special due to them having to replace certain songs the Chinese government didn't want them to play. I wouldn't mind Guns N' Roses having to do a major setlist shakeup for one show. On the plus side, that'd mean absolutely no Chinese Democracy songs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this really too risqué to be released first time round? Doesn't seem so to me. The racy bits are so short. Why is it OK to release it now?? How do you think Erin feels about it??
