GN'R, Sir Paul Release New Albums Early

Eagerly awaited projects debut on MySpace—free

Share

(Newser) – Fans can get an early online taste—legally—of the latest albums from Guns N’ Roses and Paul McCartney thanks to MySpace, Reuters reports. Members can stream the music free starting today but can't download it. Early reaction to the first GN'R album in 17 years is generally positive; Entertainment Weekly calls it "unapologetically huge music, not fit for tiny iPod earbuds."
