Guns N' Roses Sound Engineer Talks About Preparations For Upcoming Tour

Video footage of Guns N' Roses live front-of-house (FOH) engineer Ken "Pooch" Van Druten talking about preparations for the band's upcoming tour can be viewed in two parts below. He says, "Right now we're in rehearsals, and we are gonna be here probably for a month and a half or so getting ready to do a tour."

"Chinese Democracy", the sixth and most recent album from Guns N' Roses, was released in its entirety to the Rock Band Music Store catalog of downloadable content on April 14.

The tracks are available for purchase as an album or individual tracks for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system. The tracks are available for purchase as individual tracks only for Wii.

"Chinese Democracy" — which was released on November 23, 2008 as a Best Buy exclusive after a wait of more than 15 years — sold 1,250 copies in the United States in the seven days ending April 19.

Aside from Billboard and Spinner interviews and answering a number of fan questions at a Guns N' Roses message board, singer Axl Rose has done no promotion of any kind for "Chinese Democracy".

"Chinese Democracy" was officially certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 3, 2009 for shipments in the United States in excess of one million copies. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the CD has sold 574,000 copies in the U.S. so far.
