Chinese Democracy, the US rock band's first album in 15 years, will not be available to buy until Monday.

But fans can hear the album on the band's MySpace page. They are one of the highest-profile acts to use the site to launch a record.

The band's last record, their covers collection The Spaghetti Incident?, came out in 1993.

Since then, tension among members has led to all the original performers except frontman Axl Rose leaving.
