  • Reception: Commercial disappointment (only ~3 million sold) but a cult classic. Fans debate if it's a misunderstood masterpiece or a bloated, soulless exercise.
  • Notable: It finally arrived in 2008—the same year the classic lineup was inducted into the Rock Hall (Axl refused to attend).

    The debut album is a landmark.

    • Demorou 15 anos. Quinze anos. Orçamento estimado em 13 milhões de dólares. Várias formações. Chinese Democracy é o álbum mais caro da história da música, e o único feito sob o comando absoluto de Axl Rose (o único membro original remanescente).
