Last year, Guns N’ Roses publish its newest album titled “Chinese Democracy”. Funny after 17 years of not doing anything, Gun N Roses decide to name their music so controversially and then wonder why China would be so quick to ban its sales in the country. Quick to point out its reference to Falun Gong, China didn’t allow access of the music and it doomed.
If anything, the music is all over the net and in its present form is on myspace. Having sold over 2.6M all over the world, it is said to be an industry flop due to poor sales. See, if the Chinese government would just let the studio sell this album, image what the access to that billion of ready consumers will do to the music sales. I could just see it doubling — no quad tripling in sales over days. We all know that the Chinese wants democracy. They may mistaken this as government propaganda and go out to buy each a copy. This would then make this the instant classic that it deserves to be.
