Free Doctor Pepper if Chinese Democracy is Released this Year

So Dr. Pepper is offering a free can of soda to everyone in America if Guns n Roses releases Chinese Democracy. That's bizarre.

What's also bizarre is some accountant at some record label is still approving the studio bills for this fucking record. Can't some label head tell Axl it's done and ship it? This album could sound like oral sex feels and it would still not be worth the damn wait.

Do I get a free Sunkist if Duke Nuke-em Forever comes out?

There's nothing bizarre or random about it. What better way to generate free press for your company and product than to promise something for free in the event of something incredibly unlikely happening? They might as well have promised a free soda to every American if aliens land on the White House lawn sometime this year.

Don't joke about Chinese Democracy. It's just something that shouldn't be done.

Or if Salinger releases a sequel to Catcher in the Rye.

Man my wife is going to be pissed when she doesn't get her free Dr. Pepper. I think if I cut her she'd bleed 23 flavors.

Democracy will happen in China before CHINESE DEMOCRACY gets released.

What a strange move. Maybe this will actually push Axl to bring the thing out.

Maybe not....

My S.O. is exactly the same. Whenever a waiter/waitress asks what she wants to drink, I immediately smirk and prod her with, "Go on...tell the nice man/lady what you'd like." to which she turns bright red.

What, 'cause he wants you all to enjoy a delicious Dr. Pepper? Somehow, I don't think he's that selfless.

I had to google that website. And my god, it looks like it was designed at the time their last album came out.

Just a weird, inexplicable marketing campaign? Or something? I've got to admit being completely baffled by this news.

Looking at Dr. Pepper's website, they have a Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr Pepper? WTF? What does it taste like, ass?

You know, in the time y'all have been waiting for Chinese Democracy, The Black Crowes have released at least three albums that were better than Use Your Illusion.

Just saying, if you still feel a need for a 90's band that sounds like a 70's band in the 00's.

You know what? Eventually this will come out, and simply for the sake of nostalgia I'll buy it. I'll listen to maybe the first couple songs and say "Meh..doesn't sound like GnR without Slash". And never listen to it again.

I think your S.O. turns red cause you refer to every server as a "nice man lady".

It tastes like CHERRY CHOCOLATE RAIN.

Also, there is no . after the Dr in Pepper, for whatever reason. Please respect.

I've tasted Cherry Chocolate, due to my addiction of all things Dr Pepper.

It tastes like I imagine clown ejaculate would taste.

I figure the day CHINESE DEMOCRACY comes out I'll know that taste firsthand.

I'd like to see this happen...not because I want to ever listen to 'Chinese Democracy', but because I'd like to see how Dr Pepper would go about making good on their promise.

Indeed, but Axl's response, he did make a point of saying he'd share his Dr. Pepper with Buckethead.

Slash has got to be feeling that burn right about now.

Forever ago I heard that GN'Rs had a new album called " The Chinese Democracy " coming out. Then like 6 years ago or so GN'R did a mini tour and I thought to myself " Record must almost be done." Then like 3 or 4 years ago GN'R showed up and played the MTV music awards. Again I thought " Record must be almost done." Last year I read a big ass article about Axl and this record in Circus magazine. " Record must be almost done" I am gonna need a free beverage to wash down all the disappointment when this fucking record does come out.

You guys can (rightfully) bemoan the lack of Slash from G n' R, but the band was never the same after Izzy quit anyway.

I'd like to see a Slash and Izzy get back together, at least. Fuck Axl.

I have to say, I'm pretty intrigued to hear this damn thing. I'd actually love to hear all the previous incarnations of the songs...wasn't Moby a producer on this record for a while? That would be an interesting collaboration.

And anyway, they're haggling with Axl over money. That could delay this record for a long time.

"Therockradio.com reports that Geffen Records, the band's record label, have confirmed they have received a finished copy of the album, and are currently haggling over money and rights issues with Rose."

Meaning we will have to wait another few years for this train wreak of an album.

New leaks.

So yeah, has anyone heard these? Because I'm pretty damn impressed. Granted, I'm a massive GN'R fan but the studio version of Rhiad is blowing me away.

It's a weird sounding album. So many styles mixed together.
But it's kinda cool. I only listened to it once but there a couple of very good tracks.

I just need to get by the mixture of styles and choices.
Axel sounds like Axel though.

"Song 2" is phenomenal and someone needs to find out the title. The GNR fans have been able to rule out "This I Love" but it could be any number of names.

"If The World" needs a few more listens before I can give my opinion.

The solo in "There Was A Time" remains as brilliant as ever.

Seriously, just listening to "Song 2" again and it's plain amazing. I love this damn song.

I do wish a quality studio version of "Catcher In The Rye" had been in this latest batch of leaks though.

Ah well, take what I can get.

That 2nd song, whatever it is, is fucking magic - It's exactly the kind of track I've been hoping for during this whole saga. I'm really anxious for the real title to be revealed.

If the World caught me off guard - Sounds really different and unexpected, but definitely cool. Love the flamenco guitars and the offbeat... um, beat.

Rhiad is... alright. I can't help but feel like it deserved a dirtier, more NIN style of production, but it's still a nifty track.
