Splinter is an album released by The Offspring on December 9, 2003. The original title for Splinter was Chinese Democracy, which was announced as a threat to Axl Rose (singer of the hard rock band Guns N' Roses), after his long-awaited album, titled Chinese Democracy, was put on hold. To quote Holland, "Axl ripped off my braids, so I ripped off his album title."[link]
