Remember them?

Guns & Roses - once one of the biggest bands in the world. What happened to them? Axel went mad and fired everybody? This article is an attempt to recount the goings on of the recording of their 'new' album - Chinese Democracy. An album they started recording in 1994 and has so far reportedly cost over US$13 million to record. My favourite paragraph.

But Mr. Rose's renewed energies were not being directed toward the finish line. He had the crew send him CD's almost daily, sometimes with 16 or more takes of a musician performing his part of a single song. He accompanied Buckethead on a jaunt to Disneyland when the guitarist was drifting toward quitting, several people involved recalled; then Buckethead announced he would be more comfortable working inside a chicken coop, so one was built for him in the studio, from wood planks and chicken wire.

That's right - a freaking chicken coop. Nutter.
