Guns N� Roses singer Axl Rose has set yet another release date for the band�s eagerly awaited new album �Chinese Democracy�.

Rose � who has apparently been working on the record for nine years � says the record will finally hit record shops next March � but has warned fans its only a �tentative release date� in case any of them are stupid enough to hold their breath.

He says, �That being said, this is not a promise, a lie or a guarantee but we do wish to announce a tentative release date of 6 March.

"This is the first time we have done this publicly for this album. Any and all other dates have been made up by others for their own reasons. We would like to assure the fans that though tentative, everything in our power will be done to meet this date.

"To say the making of this album has been an unbearably long and incomprehensible journey would be an understatement."

No s**t Sherlock.
