Eh? Johnny Marr is on the new Guns N' Roses album???

[Theo]

Spin: "Chinese Democracy is simultaneously propulsive and ponderous, and there are some electrifying guitar arpeggios on both "Silk Worm" and "Thursday Morning Strip Club" (performed, I assume, by either Buckethead, Robin Finck, Zakk Wylde, Johnny Marr, or Brian May -- all five are listed in the liner notes)."

"FAST FACTS

1. The album's working title for much of 1994 and '95 was Chinese Theocracy.
2. To capture a specific drum sound, Rose coated the walls of his home studio with four inches of wet adobe from the Sonoran Desert.
3. Two weeks before his death in 2002, ex-Clash frontman Joe Strummer contributed guitar for a song tentatively titled "Janky Holocaust." However, Rose eventually dropped the track, citing "dehydration."
4. The liner notes include Rose's complete voting record, dating to 1992.
5. This version of Chinese Democracy only exists in an alternative reality ruled by the fools of April."

Hmm, I like the looks of their new sex columnist, Joanna Angel.

Oh man, hahaha I didn't read the whole review! I did a search for Marr's name when it came up on Google News! Whoops! That's a relief.
