The accompanying image, which can be seen below, features a close-up of GUNS N' ROSES singer Axl Rose's mouth, which suggests that some Canadian dates may be in the works for the GN'R band.

Dec. 11 - Taipei, Taiwan - Taipei County Stadium
Dec. 13 - Seoul, Korea - Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium

"Chinese Democracy", the sixth and most recent album from GUNS N' ROSES, was released in its entirety to the Rock Band Music Store catalog of downloadable content on April 14.

The tracks are available for purchase as an album or individual tracks for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system. The tracks are available for purchase as individual tracks only for Wii.

Aside from Billboard and Spinner interviews and answering a number of fan questions at a GUNS N' ROSES message board, Rose has done no promotion of any kind for "Chinese Democracy".

"Chinese Democracy" was officially certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 3, 2009 for shipments in the United States in excess of one million copies.

	I need some live GnR in my life!!!!!!!!!! Come to MN, PLEASE! Apparently Hell Yeah is going to open the whole tour for them...rumor on the street which would be sweet. We all know how much you hate Axl...No one cares...go play D&D and jerk off to pictures of your sister.

	The biggest rock star of the all.

	COMMENT \| Guns N Roses posted by : The Stone Crow 10/15/2009 8:32:39 PM

	No longer exists. Axl is not GNR!!! Axl will be too fucking lazy to even show up. He's a joke, and so is Chi-Dem.

	Prediction for the 4 Japan dates: The first one will start about 45 minutes late and be decent. The second one will start about 4 hours late and be lame. The last 2 will be canceled. And the Canadian shows will never happen.

	COMMENT \| who cares posted by : Zoo Keeper 666 10/15/2009 8:46:39 PM

	really.....who cares.... i saw the original GnR in 1988 @ Giants Stadium...

	I'm still waiting on my free Dr. Pepper.

	Slayer fan REALLY wants a riot....

	COMMENT \| Yeah posted by : The Stone Crow 10/15/2009 9:24:25 PM

	They shouldn't even anounce these Pseudo-GNR shows anymore. The fans in the audience will be waiting for the first song to start, while Axl sits on his couch in Malibu eating a box of twinkies.

	The 'funny' thing about the Guns n' Roses (or rather, The Axl Rose Band) riot in Vancouver is that it was the Management of General Motors Place which cancelled that show. Axl had not even arrived in town at the point of the show being cancelled at only 8:00PM. Supposedly Axl Rose was making his way to Vancouver for yet another typically late appearance. It was a stupid move on the part of General Motors Place. Anyways, fuck this nonsense. I'm much more interested in Exodus and Arch Enemy playing the Commodore ballroom on February 5!

	COMMENT \| Vancouver posted by : NYD 10/15/2009 9:53:08 PM

	Has always been interesting for Axl. There was the mini Riot after they opened for the Cult where kids took over a city bus and continued the party and assaulted the driver and passengers.... and the main Riot. I`m not so sure how we will react if he tries again. I would go just to see the chaos.

	COMMENT \| Who Cares! posted by : Rhoads Rules 10/15/2009 10:16:44 PM

	Got to see original lineup w/ original skid row opening for them. Those were the days! Wouldn't waste my hard earned money.

	COMMENT \| Only one reason posted by : Marc. 10/15/2009 11:07:06 PM

	why it's worth seeing this "Guns N' Roses" is due to DJ Ashba the closet that the band will ever get to having Slash again. Say what you will but i'll take DJ Ashba anyday over Buckethead or who ever else made up GNR over the years after the original band left.

	COMMENT \| AXL posted by : cliffburt 10/15/2009 11:55:02 PM

	If you re-imburse me for the Calgary show I probably will not come see this mess that Riot calls GOD. Riot, this person is a mentally damaged find another rock star to worship.

	COMMENT \| posted by : niranmojo 10/15/2009 11:57:29 PM

	please come to van.. dj ashba is good enough to fill slash's shoes in Gn'r but he is not better than buckethead. No one in the current gn'r line can better buckethead.. just listen to the solos on chi-dem played by buckethead or some of bucket's solo stuff.

	COMMENT \| Who Cares??? posted by : cwicker30 10/16/2009 12:47:12 AM

	WHO REALLY GIVES A S@*T????????

	COMMENT \| Hmmm...... posted by : Blake Sabbath 10/16/2009 3:39:55 AM

	Original lineup or not I will always pay to see Axl's GN'R play live.

	COMMENT \| Who cares? posted by : DeadSkin Mask 10/16/2009 5:29:02 AM

	Chinese Mediocrity is unlistenable.

	COMMENT \| It's Halifax posted by : hand_of_doom77 10/16/2009 6:31:42 AM

	Q104 has been talking about a concert announcement coming up on Monday here in Halifax.......not hard to put two and two together to figure this one out. Maybe Bubbles and the rest of the Trailer Park Boys will show up on stage again and make the concert worth going to

	COMMENT \| Buckethead sucks posted by : BIGDADDY1 10/16/2009 8:32:48 AM

	who cares how fast he plays it still sounds like shit oh lets go watch this idiot do the robot I love GnR in any form but there is nothing like the original band also loved Velvet Revolver anyone can play the GNR music after the fact but Slash created some of the coolest guitar riffs of all time you can't say that about buckethead or DJ Ashba or Bumblefoot

	COMMENT \| please posted by : Hardcore666 10/16/2009 9:47:34 AM

	Halifax again!

	COMMENT \| posted by : DESERTPLAINS 10/16/2009 10:34:23 AM

	CD is a good record. If this is all true then Axl simply waited a year after the album release to start the tour. Classic...

	COMMENT \| Hope it goes over posted by : Jack Bauer 10/16/2009 11:49:38 AM

	Just because some of you don't like Axl, doesn't mean the rest of us have to follow suit. That's what's wrong with America today, people are just fall in line with what the majority of the people think at the given time. That's why we have Obama and his brand new 43% approval rating. Anyway, if they do this tour, I hope they break out some of the other two or three albums worth of songs that are supposed to be released. I like ChiDem, but I am already sick of the songs from it. Also, throw in some different songs on the playlists. They were way too repetative in 2006. Let's here some songs off of Illusions besides November Rain, Don't Cry, and You Could Be mine.

	COMMENT \| Yes posted by : Raulinc 10/16/2009 12:15:07 PM

	YEah!

	COMMENT \| i was there in 93 posted by : maidenmontreal 10/16/2009 1:13:46 PM
