In an article in Rolling Stone about the high-anticipated new Guns N' Roses album, Chinese Democracy, it was revealed that Andy Wallace was not only an additional producer alongside Axl Rose, but the mixing engineer for the album as well. Guns N' Roses' management was said to be "delighted" with the mixes.
