Dr Pepper press release

[FerretallicA]

PLANO, Texas, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Tired of a world in which Americans idolize 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-year-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.



"It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper's special mix of 23 ingredients, which our fans have come to know and love," said Jaxie Alt, director of marketing for Dr Pepper. "So we completely understand and empathize with Axl's quest for perfection -- for something more than the average album. We know once it's released, people will refer to it as "Dr Pepper for the ears" because it will be such a refreshing blend of rich, bold sounds -- an instant classic.

Sheer genius. Dr Pepper will get some awesome publicity and good will out of this and it most likely won't cost them a cent.

hope that the album doesn't have the same after taste as Dr Pepper.

I mean, I love the drink but it can come back on you in bad ways sometimes.

 

[Pethical]

why except buckethead and slash? they should get lifetime supplies

 

[The Apparition]

Dr Pepper is underrated. Can anyone tell me if those leaked mp3s that are supposed to be from Chinese Democracy are for real? Because if they are, Chinese Democracy could rival St Anger as the worst album ever made.

The leaked songs weren't good, but no way similar to the dissapointment of St. Anger.

Best Dr since Rockso

Dr Pepper is underrated.

The last leaks I have are from mid-last year. If you're talking about those yeah they're real but leaked demos, thus sound St Anger-ish. The only song from those I really liked was "Better" which, even in raw form, rivals "Estranged" as my favourite Gunners song ever.

If there's newer leaks you're talking about... hopefully it makes them pull their finger out and properly release it.

That's great! I wonder if the album will go as well with whiskey as Dr. Pepper does.

Fuck bringing out the gunners album , bring back Dr Pepper in Australia.

I thought St Anger was made to rival the Blaze era Maiden albums as the worst albums ever

 

[Shadow298]

this thread is proof if you want to start an argument amongst metalheads, all you have to do is mention the last Melatallica album.

 

[FerretallicA]

I don't hear any arguments about that. We all agree St Anger is a steaming piece of shit.

 

[Shadow298]

yes but the argument is always about if something is always lesser or equal in quality.

because, honestly, there are far worse albums out there than St. Anger and Chinese Democracy is probably going to be a mediocre album at best.
you all know it to be true.

 

[TheDenimRager]

...an argument...

yes but...

 

[RavenHasFlownAway]

Name one.

 

[Shadow298]

Name one.

anything ever made by Darkthrone, Mayhem or Burzum for a good example. :Smug:

I have no idea who this Pimp of whom you spoke of is, nor of any wise men here. :Smug:

but more importantly, prove me wrong. :Smug:
