Dr. Pepper to Give Away Free Product If Axl Rose Releases 'Chinese Democracy'
Posted Mar 25th 2008 9:50PM by Kim Davis
Filed under: News, Holy Hell

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.

Feel like supporting the cause? Head here to get involved.

That's actually pretty clever on Dr. Pepper's part. Shows GN'R still has some marketing balls, at least according to someone. Still, I don't get why the Buckethead/Slash dis. Even in good fun, I can't support that.

I haven't said anything like this in about two years but:
Maybe it's the start of some sort of marketing?

i very much doubt it for one reason and one reason only: the mention of slash and buckethead.
i don't think any kind of promotion regarding chinese democracy would take into consideration taking a shot at slash/buckethead. it would be too unprofessional me thinks
