Los Angeles - A music blog called Antiquiet created a good deal of noise earlier this week, when it posted what are purported to be "mastered, finished" tracks from the 14-years-in-the-making Guns 'N Roses album "Chinese Democracy."

The site initially posted the tracks in a streaming player -- which was removed after a request from the band -- but the nine tracks are now circulating on various file-sharing networks.

"I always said that the more that Axl and Geffen jerked around trying to figure out how to release this finally finished album that we've all been waiting over 13 years for, the greater the chances would be that it would slip out of a pressing plant or office somewhere and wind up in the hands of some asshole with a blog," wrote Antiquiet operator "Skwerl".

"So... Hey, I told you so."
