Free Dr Pepper - Chinese Democracy

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

http://www.popeater.com/music/article/democracy-lives-free-dr-pepper-for-all/256424


Since Guns and Roses released Chinese Democracy in 2008(Finally....but who cares) Dr Pepper is giving everyone in the U.S a free can of Dr. Pepper.

On the dr pepper website starting at 12:01am 11/23/08 there will be coupons available. As far as I know you don't have to buy the album. Just enjoy the rich flavor of DP.

I hate GandR enough to turn down free useful stuff.

[LittleDollClaudia]

Axl is the supreme leader of douchebags.

I enjoyed GNR in the early years, I did.

But c'mon man, without Slash, you're just another washed up rock star trying to relive your glory days.

Has anyone seen that idiot (Axl, not Slash) lately? Did he turn Rasta when no one was looking?

You're heavy metal, not Jamaican! Get rid of the damn dreads.

"But he's on Myspace. He's cool, right?"

UH-HUH.

[MattJack]

slash is on myspace too

[Aaarg]

YOU"RE ON MYSPACE!!

[LittleDollClaudia]

^I'm sure that most of us are, but I know that I'm not trying to resurrect a rock career in an almost Jesus type of miracle by exploiting the 14 year olds that troll Myspace. ^

Slash, on the other hand, has had several successful voyages back into the limelight.

He's not like other posers that scream "look at me, look at me" by whoring themselves out to Tom and his gazillion followers.

He just is..awesome. And that's good enough for me. Plus him being majorly talented is a benefit as well.

you should have said this about dr pepper, then you would have been acceptable.

[Grislygus]

I listened to this, it seriously sounds like a knockoff of the new ozzy album. which is sadder than usual for Axl

[Tadao]

I wonder if Axe body smell offered him a commercial.

[Dimnos]

new ozzy album.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

[Grislygus]

Yeah, it's an incredibly obscure album called "Black Rain", only released in Greenland and some parts of Milwaukee

[pac-man]

So who collected their free Dr. Pepper?

[Colonel Flagg]

Well, it apparently doesn't play all that well in China.

Are they objecting to the general suckage of the music, I wonder?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Their website has been overloaded since sunday.

[pac-man]

I noticed... :(

I want my goddamned soda.

[Damn Dirty Hippopotamus]

I refuse to drink Dr. Pepper if it means supporting Guns & Roses. Axel Rose sucks and Slash does nothing but show off. I wouldn't look at slash for extreme "talent" as far as guitarist go.

[pac-man]

You wouldn't be supporting GNR, you'd be supporting Dr. Pepper's mockery of the fact that it took GNR so long to release the album.

[Damn Dirty Hippopotamus]

Oh wait, it's a bottle? I do enjoy bottled Dr. Pepper.

Actually I could go for a nice Route 44 Vanilla Dr. Pepper from Sonic right now.

[LittleDollClaudia]

you should have said this about dr pepper, then you would have been acceptable.

Damn, I missed a great opportunity there.

Won't happen again..

[Ploxtrot]

Damn, I missed a great opportunity there.

Won't happen again..
It better not.

[pac-man]

Now GNR is threatening legal action because the free Dr. Pepper promotion "ruined the day of Chinese Democracy's release."

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

From the suit letter:

It turned out that Dr Pepper did not define ‘everyone in America’ the same way as ‘everyone in America’ defined ‘everyone in America.’”

:lol What a joke. I like how GNR stated that this fiasco of a stunt ruined Chinese Democracy's release. First off, who releases an album on a sunday??? Secondly....I heard it didn't sound good either. I think Mr. Rose is just trying to get a Mulligan on his album.

There's a difference between waiting 10 years to make an album and making an album for 10 years. If you take 10 years to release something it better bring world peace. You don't get do overs.

[pac-man]

Folks in Dr. Pepper's legal department are likely laughing their asses off and trying to figure out how they can use this to get more publicity off of GNR's ineptitude.

[ZeldaQueen]

Now GNR is threatening legal action because the free Dr. Pepper promotion "ruined the day of Chinese Democracy's release."
Apparently they don't realize that making a huge hullabaloo about it will get both of them a ton of publicity. Kind of like that whole bruhaha over that Satanic Verses thing. Probably no one would have looked at 'em if the Ayatollah hadn't called for the Muslims to kill the author and publishers.

[Tadao]

This smells like a rotten stunt. A Johnny Rotten stunt.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Zing

[dawnna]

fuck gnr and dr pepper both of em give me massive headaches. i guess they couldnt wait for chinese democracy to put out chinese democracy...ugh

[executioneer]

dawnna quit bumping shitty old threads

[Tadao]

I TOLD ON YOU :P
