Chinese Democracy is the sixth studio album by the American hard rock band Guns N' Roses, released on November 23, 2008, through Geffen Records and Black Frog. It was their first album of original material since Use Your Illusion I and II, and the first to feature none of the classic members aside from vocalist Axl Rose. The album's development spanned over a decade, becoming one of the most protracted and expensive recording processes in history, with reported costs exceeding $13 million. Recorded amid lineup upheavals, legal disputes, and leaks, Chinese Democracy saw Rose collaborate with a rotating cast of musicians and producers, including band members Dizzy Reed, Paul Tobias, Robin Finck, Josh Freese, Tommy Stinson, Chris Pitman, Buckethead, Richard Fortus, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, Brain and Frank Ferrer, and producers Youth, Sean Beavan, Roy Thomas Baker and Caram Costanzo. Recording began in 1998 with the intention of producing multiple albums; although more than 50 tracks were completed, Rose's inconsistent studio schedule and repeated re‑recordings caused substantial delays in the project's progress.
