Re: DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE!
if it was promotion in the making, the "try to get a band to release an album" as you put it would be just a creative angle and an agreement between the band/record label and dr pepper would already be made and the release date would already be decided upon. dr pepper wouldn't promote chinese democracy for free and without consent and use chinsee democracy to promote itself unless it was coming out finally and there was a a contract.
that was an excellent post and karma for that....................i still think this is the case. '08 is the year ladies and gentlemen.

While we all wait endlessly for Axl Rose to release the long-delayed Chinese Democracy, the makers of Dr. Pepper are being proactive. The soft drink announced they will provide a free can of the soda to everyone in the U.S. if the album drops this year. '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 [quest] for the perfect album,' said a Dr. Pepper spokesperson.
Re: DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE!
WAR, I would have to say I agree....it is either that or the record company did this to try and put pressure on Axl to give up the album and to compromise in negotiations.:thumbup: Either way, good move on someones part....although a bit strange to see Dr Pepper and CD in the same ad campaign.:nervous:
Re: DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE!
it's on CNN ffs.
it's even in the local national newspapers in Belgium.
It's been a loooong time since GNR has had this type of impact on the mainstream media. If they don't pursue this, they're the dumbest fucks since the dawn of mankind

Re: DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE!
except that a can of DrP prolly only costs them a dime to make
so 3,000,000 x $0.10 = $300,000 whoop-dee-doo for a huge company...remember tacobell gave out free tacos in the world series to everyone in america a couple years ago? same thing really
You missed a couple of zeros there... 300,000,000 x $0.10 = $30,000,000. That's an expensive marketing campaign. The thing that's really beneficial for Dr Pepper is that the product would be exposed to EVERYONE in the US, which guarantees a hit at people who have never tried Dr Pepper before and who will like the product and purchase again. All of a sudden, Dr Pepper's sales grow substantially in the years to come. I think free samples are often underestimated as a successful marketing ploy.
Is that photoshopped?

Everybody is NOT going to get a free can of soda. They'll do something like ask you to mail in your request. Then, you'll get a coupon in the mail for a free can. Thus 300,000,000 customers is dwindled down to about 10,000, which is about the amount that will go thru the time & effort for a can of soda. For the amount of publicity they've recv'd over this, it's been well worth it.
