The new Guns N' Roses album is an "attack" on China, the country's government says.
The Chinese government has claimed that the new Guns N' Roses album is a "venomous attack" on the country.
In the Global Times, which is published by the ruling Communist Party, an article criticises the Chinese Democracy album, which was launched earlier this week after a 15 year wait.
The newspaper claims the record "turns its spear point on China", while foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang told the BBC: "According to my knowledge, a lot of people don't like this kind of music because it's too noisy and too loud."
Unreleased in the country, the album's title track references the banned Falun Gong meditation movement and frontman Axl Rose sing "if your great wall rocks, blame yourself".
In other news, former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash could work with Ozzy Osbourne on his upcoming solo record.
Speaking to Rockererrazzi.com, the music icon's wife Perla Hudson also said Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie is involved with the project.
