Song stirs Guns N' Roses album talk

New York, NY, Apr. 12 (UPI) -- A new Guns N' Roses song called "IRS" has spread across the Internet, prompting fresh speculation about the release date of Axel Rose's long-awaited album.
The song has popped up on numerous fan sites and message boards that focus on the ever-changing rock band. Rose is the only original GNR member left.

The spread of a version of "IRS" spurred talk that "Chinese Democracy," the album containing the song, could be released this year, Britain's XFM reported Tuesday.

Rose, described as a near recluse, has been working on the record for more than seven years at a cost of about $13 million.

Was this the version from the Mike Piazza show (with Eddie Trunk) from August 2003, or a another leak?

According to a list with all the leaks through the years put together by fans, it was the Mike Piazza version.

Alright. Thanks. I expected as much but the leaks history is a bit confusing, still.
