Sunday morning, Guns N' Roses fans' undying dedication to their holy grail, Chinese Democracy, was rewarded when the album -- after 15 years and countless delays and doubtful bets -- finally arrived via an exclusive deal with retailer Best Buy.

To document the historic event, SPIN.com sent Axl fan and all around funny guy Ben Lashes -- frontman of Seattle punk band the Lashes -- to the center of the GNR storm: a Hollywood Best Buy, where he surveyed the scene on the release day of music's most-anticipated album ever. Watch his report below.

the people who bought it seem more exhausted from waiting than excited to actually have it in their clutches. or maybe cd buying has become such a lackluster experience- you tell me axl! why weren't you there hypin' your scene?!

It is a good album, to bad it wasn't the original GNR. Funny video none the less.
