"DR PEPPER WILL GIVE EVERYONE* IN AMERICA A FREE SODA IF AXL ROSE RELEASES NEW GUNS N’ ROSES ALBUM, CHINESE DEMOCRACY, IN 2008 *Guitarists Slash and Buckethead Will Not Be Eligible For Free Soda PLANO, Texas (March 26, 2008) – Tired of a world in which Americans idolize wannabe singers and musicals about high schoolers pass as rock ‘n roll music, Dr Pepper is encouraging (ok, begging) Axl Rose to finally release his 17-year-in-the-making belabored masterpiece, Chinese Democracy, in 2008. In an unprecedented show of solidarity with Axl, everyone in America, except estranged GNR guitarists Slash and Buckethead, will receive a free can of Dr Pepper if the album ships some time -- anytime! -- in 2008. Dr Pepper supports Axl, and fully understands that sometimes you have to make it through the jungle before you get it right. "It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper’s special mix of 23 ingredients, which our fans have come to know and love,” said Jaxie Alt, director of marketing for Dr Pepper. “So we completely understand and empathize with Axl's quest for perfection – for something more than the average album. We know once it's released, people will refer to it as "Dr Pepper for the ears" because it will be such a refreshing blend of rich, bold sounds - an instant classic.” "

I've heard a few tracks of it, and it's not bad. Not worth the $13 million dollars he's reportedly spent recording it, but not bad.

Would be nice to hear the real deal... eventually.

I wonder how much that would cost Dr. Pepper. Would they just mail everyone a coupon saying "Good for free Dr. Pepper at any location"?

3/27/2008 5:32:32 PM

They could just put it in the CD liner.

3/27/2008 5:33:08 PM

^then you'd have to buy the CD. it says EVERYONE, not just purchasers of said album.
