An Italian Guns n Roses fansite has closed down as a protest over the continued delays in releasing the band's long long long long long awaited album 'Chinese Democracy'.
Announcing the closure, the site's webmaster wrote: "The never-ending saga of 'Chinese Democracy', the lack of respect, clearness and mutual loyalty are just some of the reasons that has brought us down to this painful conclusion. Until now our detractors have always accused us of being 'Axl fanatics' (and to a certain degree, it is probably true) but today we aren't able to sustain Axl's project anymore, neither financially nor economically. We just can't afford to waste our heads on a project that has never even taken us into consideration. We gladly leave that to other "fan" sites and forums that have the will and passion to be fooled around one more time."
The statement concludes: "We still want to believe in Axl Rose and his record and we greatly wish that 'Chinese Democracy' would see the light of day before February 2008. If that will be the case we will make our best effort to re-open the site otherwise our domains will be lost and that will be the end of it".
