March 26, 2008 -- TIRED of a world in which Americans idolize wannabe singers, and where musicals about high school students pass as rock 'n' roll, Dr Pepper is begging Axl Rose to finally release this year his 17-years-in-the-making album, "Chinese Democracy." The soft drink company's incentive to Axl, the frontman of Guns N' Roses? If he ships the album in 2008, everyone in America - except estranged guitarists Slash and Buckethead - will receive a free can of Dr Pepper. "It took a little patience for us to perfect Dr Pepper's special mix of 23 ingredients, so we completely understand and empathize with Axl's question for the perfect album," said a company spokesperson. Dr Pepper is asking fans to lobby Axl to drop the album already.

This album is nver going to be released. Axl knows it and anyone who has a brain knows it. It's got such a HUGE buzz around it and it would be such a big deal with such high expectations that Axl would never risk his ego by putting out this thing that is obviously doomed to fail.
The expectations are just too high and Axl knows it. It'll come out to luke warm reviews and then sink once the novelty wears off. This is obviously just a way for Axl to keep his name in the papers. I doubt there are even the beginnings of an album laid down right now. Face it...nothing will ever eclipse Appetite... so sit back and enjoy being a has-been.
I'm a pepper, You're a pepper, He's a Pepper, She's a pepper....
Wouldn't you like to be one, Axl, too?
Ooh, these grapes are sour. What, did you not get to go to one of the shows back in 2006? We understand. Truly, we do.
PS, Appetite is mere child's play compared to the Illusion albums, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
"Appetite is mere child's play compared to the Illusion albums, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it."
Are you mental? I agree they were good albums, but they had nowhere near the profound effect on modern rock that Appetite had.
You might want to put that pipe down...
I love this new standoff between soft drinks and edgy rockers. I'm waiting for Crystal Light to call out Wu-Tang Clan.
What a GREAT promo! Very funny and smart - congratulations Dr. Pepper - you've got a good product and the best promotion since the Dr. Pepper song....
Best of luck with it
maybe if Donald Trump or Richard Branson get in on the act, it might work and the album will be released. Come on Donald, help Axl pay his debt so we can hear this album.
Come on Axl Hip Hop SUCKS!!!
I'm tired of hearing bitch this and ho that and all that other jive.It's time for rock and roll to reign supreme.There's no such thing as a perfect album just do your best and the fans will support you.Its definetly time for a shift in music.
Sick ASS.

I miss Guns N Roses!!!!! Please Axl, save the music scene, release the album already!!!!!
please axl please!!!
Great Marketing Campaign!
CALLED OUT. So, so fake, and we knew it. Guys, this is Harley Davidson all over again.
A Fake blog about a ridiculous subject. You're an idiot! This has gotta be one of the lamest things I've ever seen. Do us all a favor and disappear.
I just called Dr. Pepper - apparently, it happens to be very real. If you want to call for yourself: 1-800-696-5891.
Thanks for bringing fun back to advertising and commercialism. I love everything about this idea. Especially the inevitable press release from Axl declaring the album is 'done, and will be out this year'. He does that annually.
I just did a very recent review of the new album (Chinese Democracy) over at Blogcritics.org > do a search on the name 'Lono'.
adelante!!!!!!!! AXL!!!!!!!!! GUNS AND ROSES IS THE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait until Eric Hopkins at WPDH hears this.

SO YEAH I WANT MY FREE DOCTOR PEPPER RIGHT FUCKING NOW. also, this isn't guns n roses. this is the axl rose band. so yeah, doctor pepper, my hand, now.
Who's Axl?
G'n'R without Slash is like Dr. Pepper without carbondioxide.
WE NEED ROCK N' ROLL. RELEASE THE ALBUM, KIDS THAT STILL KNOW AND EMBRACE ROCK N' ROLL NEED TO HEAR THE POWER IT STILL HAS!!!!
COME ON AXL!!!!!!
MY LEFT ARM IS TATTOOED WITH GUNS N ROSES STUFF!!! SHOW ME THAT IT WAS WORTH IT!!!
--Jack
We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr. Pepper with our album Chinese Democracy as for us this came totally out of the blue. If there is any involvement with this promotion by our record company or others we are unaware of such at this time. And as some of Buckethead’s performances are on our album I’ll share my Dr. Pepper with him.
Axl Rose
Chinese democracy.... NEver
Axl ,
If the Mayans are correct you only have till Dec 2012 to release this or it will never be heard cus the world is gonna end, so , pretty please with sugar on top and slightly dented cherry , perfection is never as good as spontaneous release, in my life time, just go for it already , you've proved yourself you got nothing to lose!

Axl Guns N Roses is still a band that everyone knows and loves please release Chinese Democracy !! Guns N Roses kick's more ass nowadays saw them in 2006 in Everett WA best night of my life.
My daughter who is 19 was complaining about a band she likes taking a long time to release a new CD..I told her "so????? I have been waiting for over 10 years for Chinese Democracy"
I hope it comes out before I am dead..or totally deaf!
Since Geffen/Interscope...whatever label this is signed to now today has finally put the brakes on the financing, does this mean we're onto corporate sponsorships now Axl?
Kudos to you for finagling over $13 million and counting! Just put the damn thing out already...
Look there will never be another Gun'N'Roses album, ever. There is no longer a band, just Axl......with the name. END OF STORY.
I am willing to pony up the dough to Slash and Buckethead for a can of Dr. Pepper, heck I will buy them a 24 if they perform.
Music fans NEED Axl Rose and GNR!!!
2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no other voice like Axl's.
Thank you Dr. Pepper. I don't drink soda, but if you succeed in helping to get this album out, I'll buy a case...deal?
I'm much more excited about a free Dr. Pepper than I am about another Guns N Roses album.
This is cool. Any chance you could lean on 3dRealms the same way to release Duke Nukem Forever which has been in development since 1998? http:\\www.3drealms.com
AXL YOU ROCK AND SO DOES Dr PEPPERE SO EAT THAT PEOLE WHO SAY ITS A JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whoever says that illusion is better than appetite has SERIOUS issues. appetite is the best album ever made....in history.
anyway,
axl, jus put it out already...your fans have been more than patient...we want the album....
and you are the best rock and roll frontman ever....i love you...
"Who's Axl?
G'n'R without Slash is like Dr. Pepper without carbondioxide."
uhm...axl is the guy who is singing, rocking out, sounding great, with the best voice ever...while slash is over there drowning in jack, and screwing up intros.
check youtube for that.
also, he's also they guy in the gay band, that no one cares about [[velvet revolver]] with the lead singer who wishes he was axl....
anything to get it over with. It will tank completely, and Axl will have to beg Slash to make a real GNR album on an Indie Label.
Okay this is to ALL you Axl haters!!! GO F**K YOURSELVES!!! Axl WILL put the new album out when he feels it is ready!! Axl IS GUNS-N-ROSES!! Slash and the others yes they were all great together but without Axl the band NEVER would have done as well as it did. Have you even listened to ANY of the new songs? I have and if you didn't know any better (which most of you don't) you can't tell that it's not Slash, Duff, Izzy and Steven playing on the album. I have complete faith in Axl and stand by him 100%. I think when the new album is released (and it will be released), many of you will have to eat your words because it will be one of the best G-N-R albums. Some things are worth waiting for and this album is one of them. Axl if you ever read this (which I doubt you will because I know you are very busy) don't let these haters bring you down, instead show them what you've got baby.
been waiting long time release the album please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a joke.
"anything to get it over with. It will tank completely, and Axl will have to beg Slash to make a real GNR album on an Indie Label."
Yeah. Speaking of tanking, look at Velvet Revolver. If I were Axl, I wouldn't beg Slash for anything.
Dr. Peppers 23rd ingredient is a drop of Axls blood.
And the by-product of producing a can of Dr. Pepper which ends up in the waste dump out back is Slash's Snakepit album.
Apparently Slash is too busy writing self-indulgent books and going through Jack Daniels' withdrawl to play a good riff anymore.
If we give Izzy a Dr. Pepper, will he come back? I almost miss him more than Slash. Oh Izzy. How COULD you?
chinese democracy starts nowwwwwww
cmon axl, wake up, it is time to release fhe fucking album...!!!
Jose el Retardo,
Izzy joined GNR on stage at at least one of the California stops on their most recent North American tour. December 2006.

" 'anything to get it over with. It will tank completely, and Axl will have to beg Slash to make a real GNR album on an Indie Label.'
Yeah. Speaking of tanking, look at Velvet Revolver. If I were Axl, I wouldn't beg Slash for anything."
ha....totally agree....
besides, go to youtube and type in "the slash disappointment" and tell me how many times you've seen axl sell out like that?
axl has that one and only voice...and that voice IS g n r.
and...i have heard some of the songs...i love better, and there was a time...axl's still got it...
rock on.
Heavy Metal Comedy picked up on this as well.
http://www.heavymetalcomedy.com
I saw Axl sitting down on the toilet in a women's toilet at a rest stop once.
You think that's dreamy, I was sitting right next to him. It was the shiznit, yo.
Wait do the kids still use that expression? Damn!!Someone please let me know!!
Watch my show on HGTV.
It's the illin'est, yo.
