Легендарная американская команда, завоевавшая
всемирную популярность после выпуска в 1987 году
первого альбома 'Appetite For Destruction' , одна
из самых успешных рок-групп, общий тираж проданных
записей которой оценивается в 90 миллионов
экземпляров. И вот он - альбом, которого ждали 15
лет - 'Chinese Democracy'. В записи участвовало
более двух десятков музыкантов, среди них есть и
бывшие участники группы - например, на одной из
композиции вы услышите голос Sebastian Bach.
Продюсером альбома стал Mike Clink (Triumph,
Motley Crue, Megadeth, UFO, Jefferson Starship,
The Babys, Heart, Eddie Money). Альбом и
композиции с него вошли в Billboard Hot 100 (#34),
UK Singles Chart (#27) , Swedish Singles Chart
(#3) и другие хит-парады! По некоторым сведениям,
на запись было потрачено семь лет работы и 13
миллионов долларов!
