clipped from: music.unrealitytv.co.uk I love this! After years (and years) of stalling on the release of Chinese Democracy, Dr Pepper has taunted Axl Rose by offering everyone in America a free drink if he releases the album in 2008.
Tired of a world in which Americans idolise 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-years-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.”
