New Guns N' Roses song briefly leaked

A new Guns N' Roses song called "Better," described as the first single from the band's long-delayed Chinese Democracy album, briefly surfaced online earlier this week at various web sites. The sites were asked almost immediately by representatives for the group to take it down, although one site, called Hype Machine, was still hosting the song yesterday (Wednesday, February 21st). The voice on the tune is unmistakably that of singer W. Axl Rose, while the music features a heavy dose of electronics and a more pop feel than previous Guns N' Roses tracks.

A first single from the album has never been officially announced.

It's less than two weeks until March 6th, when Axl tentatively promised that Chinese Democracy would be released.

Guns N' Roses will begin a world tour in late April with its first-ever concerts in South Africa.

Meanwhile, former GNR guitarist Buckethead overcompensated for the continued absence of Chinese Democracy by releasing a set of 13 albums this week. Each disc in the series, called In Search Of The..., has been personally numbered and signed by Buckethead.
