"There Was A Time" is a song from the upcoming Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy. Although the song was leaked onto the internet last year, blogger Kevin Cogill was arrested by the FBI and charged with copyright infringement. The song (along with 8 others from the album) have made their way around the Internet anyway.

"You'd think he was talking about a woman, but I think he's talking to us. He gave us everything, and we turned our backs on him. Am I getting too philosophical? Let me know and I'll stop. Maybe he's just talking about Slash. Ooh, I love the bridge on this one. Actually, scratch my previous musings: he's talking about a girl. Just look at the acronym the song title makes. Man, there's like six guitar solos on this one!" —The National PostThe National Post: Live blog: Listening to Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy for the first time (November 20, 2008)
