Guns N' Roses soda and song!

Back in April we reported that:

In a bid to get Axl Rose to release his long-awaited album Chinese Democracy, Dr. Pepper had promised everyone in the US - excluding former guitarists Slash and Buckethead - a free can of their fizzy drink if it hits the shelves this year.

With a US release date now confirmed of November 23 (UK release looking likely on November 24), Dr. Pepper have announced that they will go ahead with their promise!

"We never thought this day would come," says Tony Jacobs, vice president of marketing for Dr Pepper. "But now that it's here all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."

Americans are now able to get a free Dr. Pepper coupon.

For full details, see www.drpepper.com.

in related news, the debut (title) track from Chinese Democracy can be accessed HERE.

That's a good point, considering the economical crisis we're in.

No there not. They are legend. <3 But without Slash and Axl I can't have seen the band get very far.

Er, Axl is still in the band.

Nice to see you're such a huge fan;)

You do realise its only in America right? Anywho what store are they gonna sell it through, cos the UK doesn't have best buy (or does it)?

Posted by Gareth | October 24, 2008 10:22 PM | Reply to this

a) Axl is in the band .. he kept it going really .. needed something to keep him away from drugs and messing his head up even more

b) It's Duff and Slash.
c) If it were just Duff to leave the band would be incomplete ...

Slash may be recognised for his solo's but it was Duff who was the real driving force of the band .. he was the foundations of the songs

Bass players don't get much credit .. but Duff truely is awesome!!!

seriously?
dr pepper?
don't get me wrong, i love DP,
but do they really think a can of pop (which you can buy for 50p) is gonna make any difference?!

GNR suck now.
They used to be amazing.
Then it all went downhill.
and no amount of fizzy drink is gonna change that!
