Guns N' Roses fans went into hysterical overdrive when three studio-quality tracks from the mythical "Chinese Democracy" album were leaked onto the Internet.

The tracks leaked Wednesday take a different direction from Rose's traditional raunchy Sunset Strip-style rock. Rose's manager, Merck Mercuriadis, ordered the Internet sites to remove the links, but declined to comment on them. Fans also sent one of the leaked tracks to radio stations. Mercuriadis said cease-and-desist orders were sent to the stations, but some, such as WAAF in Boston, still had "IRS" in heavy rotation Monday night. News also surfaced Monday that several music festivals, such as the Rock in Rio-Lisboa and the NovaRock festival in Austria, had booked the band to play in May and June, respectively.
