It's been 17 years since the seminal Use Your Illusion I and II came out, and since then, Axl Rose fired nearly all the original bandmembers.  Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum formed Velvet Revolver with Stone Temple Pilot's Scott Weiland (who went back to STP), while Axl toiled over Chinese Democracy for YEARS.

Well, it's FINALLY coming out (after years of delays) before Turkey Day, but you can hear it right now on the official MySpace page!  The new GNR even had a tour in late 2002, but it was cancelled after Axl kept showing up late, something he did in the band's heyday, but not something you can do now.
