Re: Chinese Democracy in 08 = Free Dr. Pepper for All!

Dr. Pepper is the worst soft drink ever. They claim it's made from 23 flavors, but why do all of them taste like cough syrup?

If this actually happens, someone can claim my free DP.

Crazy talk.

If the album sucks and does horrible, they need to add a case of Dr. Pepper

Guns n' Roses recently made Youtube take down all of their Chinese Democracy leaks. That Axl is a real pain in the butt.

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2008/09/26/chinese-democracy-rumors-release-date-best-buy-exclusive/

The latest rumors regarding the release of Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy have been swirling around message boards this week. The first rumor is that the long-awaited album will be released exclusively through Best Buy on November 25th. The source of the multi-tiered rumors is a supposed “vendor convention” that Best Buy had on Wednesday in Dallas, Texas. Reportedly, Guns manager Andy Gould told the 900 employees the news about Chinese Democracy before previewing three songs from the album. Cellphone recordings of the event were later distributed through GNR fan forums. Gould also reportdly alerted the crowd that “If The World” would also be featured in the closing credits for the upcoming Leonardo DiCaprio/Russell Crowe film Body of Lies, which was confirmed by message boarders on movie websites (like IMDB) who happened to catch a press screening of the film yesterday. The number of witness accounts, evidence and message boards involved makes it hard to believe this is all just a hoax, but this is Axl Rose we’re talking about, so we’ll believe it when the press release reaches our inbox. Still, we’re cautiously looking forward to Chinese Democracy and free Dr. Pepper on November 25th.

pop-metal? LOL

Lol I was gonna say the same thing.

GNR are my favorite band of all time, but I got no interest in an album without Slash, Izzy, Duff, or Adler. It's gonna tank hard.

With all that being said, I'll probably listen to some of it lol.

Sounds like we're all getting a free can of Dr. Pepper. If "Chinese Democracy" is finally coming out, maybe this means Duke Nukem Forever will finally be released.

More than a decade after its conception, Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" will finally see the light of day before year's end, sources close to the situation confirm to Billboard. As first reported here, the set will be a Best Buy exclusive and will be available Sunday, Nov. 23, rather than the usual Tuesday.

Beyond enticing pre-Thanksgiving shoppers, the move is tied to the structure of Best Buy's sales week, which runs from Sunday to Saturday. As such, "Chinese Democracy" would not be eligible to chart on The Billboard 200 until the week of Dec. 1, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

In the run-up to release date, album track "Shackler's Revenge" will debut in the video game "Rock Band 2," while a portion of "If the World" is playing over the end credits in the new Leonardo DiCaprio/Russell Crowe film "Body of Lies."

In addition, GNR's seminal 1987 debut, "Appetite for Destruction," will be reissued on vinyl on Oct. 28 via Interscope.

The band's last new studio albums were the simultaneously released "Use Your Illusion I" and "II" in September 1991. A covers set, "The Spaghetti Incident?," followed in 1993, and featured some of the last GNR recordings from original guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan.


This spring, soft drink manufacturer Dr Pepper offered to send a free can of the beverage to "everyone in America" (excluding ex-GNR members Slash and Buckethead) if "Chinese Democracy" were to arrive anytime during the calendar year 2008.

"We're waiting to hear about 'Chinese Democracy' just like all the other GNR fans," Dr Pepper VP of marketing Tony Jacobs tells Billboard. "But if the rumors are true, we're putting the Dr Pepper on ice."

The album is almost guaranteed to suck, but I'll still be there at 11 a.m. when the Best Buy nearest me opens Sunday November 25th.

The band's name is of course Guns N' Roses, but Guns N' Roses they ain't.

This echoes my sentiments exactly. GnR ain't GnR without Axl, Slash, Duff, and Izzy. When Gilby Clarke replaced Izzy in '93 it was still GnR, but it wasn't the real deal anymore, and when Slash left it was gone. It's more like Axl n' Pals now.

10 years for that . I may not be to do those outrageous solo's like Buckethead, but I can hold my own and write better crap then that generic 1-3-5 progression.

It's free so it really doesn't matter how long it takes, unless you're broke and really craving Dr. Pepper on the 23rd.
