Making an entire music album seems like it’d be pretty tough.

Not only do you have to make sure the drums are synchronised just right with the rhythm guitar, but you have to keep firing your entire band every time one of them plays a note that will make your brand-new 14-year-old album less than classic. Also, you can get vital nutrient-sucking worms if you decide to record in South America.

Axl Rose is all too aware of this – that’s why his album still isn’t coming out. A new song is though – on a video game. The good news is it’s new GNR, the bad news is the only way you’ll be able to actually hear it is when your dad fancies himself a frontman whenever his brother comes over.

Excruciating.

A new Guns N’ Roses song is going to be included on the forthcoming Rock Band 2 video game. It’s called Shackler’s Revenge, and although it hasn’t leaked to date, a few years ago one called There Was A Time did – it’s so good it makes us want to get fat and wear bandannas. Go on and Google it.

Rumor has it this Shackler’s Revenge song was inspired by Pirates Of The Caribbean 2, which Rose is said to own the director’s cut in both DVD & Blu Ray formats. There’s an entire verse dedicated to Johnny Depp getting eaten by an octopus. We heard it details Depp’s succession through the monsters digestive tract. A sample line is:

“now your [sic] in it’s tummy because you tasted so yummy, now your [sic] in the intestine, better not be a pest in (there).”

Well at least it rhymes, right? Needless to say it’s a far cry from people being in jungles with babies and what-not. Also it’s a far cry from true.

According to GNR’s own website:

“Get Ready for Shackler’s Revenge. The track from the upcoming Guns N’ Roses album Chinese Democracy will appear on the video game Rock Band 2, slated for release for the Xbox 360 platform in September.”

Still no word as to a solid release date, but if it ends up being in 2008 everybody in the US will get a Dr. Pepper. Throw in some Twizzlers and a fruit pie and maybe we can get that guy moving.
