Nothing says rock and roll like a big old anti-establishment, stick it to the man, we’re not going to take it, fighting in the streets, power to the people logo…

I tried to upload the picture of the album cover for the new Guns N’ Roses record and it shut down IE and the file disappeared. Oh well, the real cover art for Chinese Democracy ought to be the Best Buy logo anyway. Check this out from the press release…

“Chinese Democracy is one of the most highly anticipated albums in music history, and Best Buy is thrilled to deliver this explosive and previously elusive release to Guns N’ Roses fans. Longtime fans will be rewarded for their patience and loyalty to this great band, while a new generation of fans will be blown away,” said Gary Arnold, Senior Entertainment Officer for Best Buy. “Axl Rose is one of the most dynamic and gifted writers and performers in modern music. Best Buy is excited to work with Axl to make the release of Chinese Democracy THE musical event of 2008!”

I promised myself that I wasn’t going to write anything about the release announcement. After all, our good friend Sans has theorized…

we’ll see democracy in China before we see Chinese Democracy.

…and, I just love that. But then I saw this Best Buy link, where…get this…you’re not going to believe this…
