Dr. Pepper to Give Away Free Product If Axl Rose Releases 'Chinese Democracy'
- Posted on Mar 25th 2008 9:50PM by Kim Davis
Dr. Pepper is imploring Axl Rose to put out his album that's been an astounding 17 years in the making. The creators of the curiously candy-like beverage have promised that if Rose releases Guns N' Roses' 'Chinese Democracy' at any point in 2008, everyone in America will receive a free can of Dr. Pepper.But free soda aside, the best part about the proposal might just be the way the company is not only relating to, but sympathizing with, the 46-year-old singer. "It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper's special mix of 23 ingredients that our fans have come to know and love," said Jaxie Alt, director of marketing for Dr. Pepper -- not even blinking at her nod to the band's 1989 hit 'Patience.' "So we completely understand and empathize with Axl's quest for perfection -- for something more than the average album." What's more? The "everyone" in their promise comes with a big, wickedly funny asterisk: According to the Dr., both Slash and Buckethead will be left off the gift list. Bet they didn't see that coming.

Axls music has always been good.This will be no different.Chinese Democracy is the most anticipated album EVER.It's a whole new band though.That makes things even tougher on him.His duet w/Sebsastian Bach last year was cool.Plus,don't forget that he plays new songs @ his shows.Don't rule this out yet - The wait will be worthwhile.

Que buena idea me gusta la musica de Guns N' Roses y me gusta el Dr.Pepper pero tabien creo que le deberian de dar a Slash su Dr.Pepper ya que tambien gracias a el la banda tiene la fama que tiene hoy en dia.
