kiwisniffer Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The popular humor mag actually has a new infographic on how Chinese Democracy should "almost ready for release" and has a list of reasons for the holdup. It's pretty funny, whether you like the new band or not (which I do). According to the Onion, Axl's the reasons for the album's holdup were:-Searching for the perfect comeback bandana-Has been holding last note of "Don't Cry" for the past ten years-Wanted to tie in album release with new era of government in China, but like so many artists, was optimistic and politically naive-Incident involving spaghetti that he'd rather not discuss-Metal gods demanded sacrifice of 100 pints of blood;had to wait eight weeks between each donation-guitar hook stuck in Axl's head for the past five years turned out to be "under the boardwalk"-bandmates have been starring in broadway production of "Jersey Bpys"-Waited for birth of new generation of fans less discerning and much more susceptible to hype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
