Former GNR guitarist SLASH is convinced the band's first new album in 14 years, Chinese Democracy, will be released despite being long overdue.

When released, it will be the band's first album of original studio material since the simultaneous release of Use Your Illusion I and II in 1991.

Ironically, the track listing for Chinese Democracy has not been officially confirmed. Nevertheless, there are many leaks and some versions have been in public circulation for a while. As a matter of fact, as of writing this I'm listening to I.R.S., which has been "living" in my player for quite a long.

Better, Chinese Democracy, I.R.S, Madagascar, Sorry, The Blues, There Was a Time are the titles that are already confirmed.

The release of the Chinese Democracy album has been put back indefinitely until Axl Rose finishes working on the new material. But as SLASH is convinced, the world will see the release of the long awaited album sooner or later :)
