What's Your "Chinese Democracy"?

Think you've been waiting forever for "Chinese Democracy"? Guns N' Roses, with its much-teased fourteen year gap between studio albums, isn't the only band major artist who has kept fans waiting for a seemingly endless stretch between records. Eagles anyone? Check out our quick look at Four Other Bands With More Than A Decade Between Albums.

4. Jane's Addiction

Previous Album: Ritual De Lo Habitual, 1990
Billboard 200 Peak: No. 19

New Album: Strays, 2003
Billboard 200 Peak: No. 4

Wait: 12 years, 11 months, 9 days

3. The B-52's

Previous Album: Good Stuff, 1992
Billboard 200 Peak: No. 16

New Album: Funplex, 2008
Billboard 200 Peak: No. 11

Wait: 15 years, 9 months, 2 days

2. Donna Summer

Previous Album: Mistaken Identity, 1991
Billboard 200 Peak: none

New Album: Crayons, 2008
Billboard 200 Peak: No. 17

Wait: 16 years, 8 months, 27 days

1. Artist: The Eagles

Previous Album: The Long Run, 1979
Billboard 200 Peak: No. 1

New Album: Long Road Out Of Eden, 2007
Billboard 200 Peak: No. 1

Wait: 28 years, 1 month, 6 days
"Long" is clearly a theme here. Some might argue that the Band's "Hell Freezes Over" in 1994 should be considered, but it only had a few originals, so J.I. is not counting that.

The Eagles' "Hell Freezes Over" had four original songs, not one.

what about kate bush? she made us wait 12 years between Red Shoes 1993 & Aerial 2005

Those other artists may have had a long wait between the albums, but they weren't working on them that long, and Jane's and the Eagles had both broken up during those stretches. The main complaint (and basis for joking) about Chinese Democracy is the fact that he's been working on it for so long and announced several release dates.

What about George Harrison? 15 years between "Cloud Nine" (1987) and the posthumously-released "Brainwashed" (2002).

Hi... the longest has been THE YARDBIRDS, between studio LP Little Games in 1967, and new CD BIRDLAND in 2002, that makes ¡35 years among albums!

The reason this can be good for her is that she can move at the pace, and adjust the angle and depth of penetration so that she gets the stimulation on her clitoris and vagina most likely to bring her to orgasm. [url=http://caroldowdy.hostevo.com/sex633.html]free sex games uncensored[/url]

Germany vs Spain!

Spain is in the finals,and will meet
a tough German team.

This is a difficult match to pick a winner.

My last anime list was seriously out of style and so I've decided to go back and redo - this time listing only movies,
and including ten at that. Here it is, my top ten favorite anime movies of all time!
I may be alone in choosing this one to start the list at but I'll be darned if The Cat Returns isn't one of the quirkiest,
most lighthearted, not to mention pure fun of Studio Ghibli's releases. The storyline follows the adventure of a
young girl named Haru as she is being forced to marry a young cat prince in the Kingdom of Cats as reward for
saving her soon-to-be husband's life. Haru isn't exactly a blushing bride and with the help of the mild mannered
animate cat doll known as the Baron she sets out to escape the clutches of the twisted Cat King.
This one is more for the kids, but there's plenty for adults to enjoy too.

Now I am no expert when it comes to Anime films, and I don't profess that I have seen as many as some movie
fans, but I know what I like. Back when I started college, I had a friend who was big-time into the animated films
coming out of Japan, and it slowly got my interested in ones that had strong stories. I mean without the stories,
its just another cartoon right? Well to be sure, I know what I like, but it doesn't mean that everyone likes the same
ones, and after all, this is my own personal list. Some of these choices may not even make a
top 100 list of a die-hard Anime Fan. But, for me, they are what I think are the top 10 Anime Films of All Time.

The objective of playing slots is to bet coins or credit and spin the machine's "reels" so that symbols line up on the machine's "paylines", as described in the machine's "payout" schedule. [url=http://9999host.com/gaslot]www game slot com[/url]

I also think this list is irrelevant bc there is a difference between bands breaking up and reforming and what GnR is doing. Several different lineups and producers and release dates. Those other bands were not working on those albums for those years like Axl has been. The writer is trying to force a story when there is none.

O.K. I know I may sound bitter but in fact I'm not, I'm on top of the world because this problem doesn't apply to me anymore and reason is because I cracked the code, and no, I didn't get a face job or win the national lottery.
