The first track to be made public from “Chinese Democracy,” the much-delayed, much-maligned Guns N’ Roses album, will be released through a video game, the BBC reported Tuesday.
The song, “Shackler’s Revenge,” will appear as a selection in Rock Band 2, a game in which users play along to songs with hand-held controllers. The game is slated to be released in September by Harmonix, Electronic Arts, and MTV Games.
The release date for the album itself, the follow-up to Guns N’ Roses’ “The Spaghetti Incident,” from 1993, has not yet been announced.
