Ed Christman of Billboard.com reports that negotiations are underway for GUNS N' ROSES' long-delayed "Chinese Democracy" to come out as an exclusive at one of the big boxes — either Wal-Mart or Best Buy....please, god, no.
Negotiations are also ongoing to have conventional record company distribution, a source tells Billboard.com.
GUNS N' ROSES is now managed by Irving Azoff's Front Line Management, and Azoff is a well-known proponent of issuing albums exclusively through retailers. He released THE EAGLES' "Long Road Out of Eden" through Wal-Mart, much to the chagrin of other merchants.

I've defended Guns 'n' Roses for years throughout this and I'm looking forward to this album. But releasing it only through Wal-Mart? God no! Look forward to any of the dangerous aspects of Guns 'n' Roses to be eliminated and sterilized. Best Buy would be the best road, since they don't exactly censor their music.
