Sure, it may sound like an April Fools’ headline, but remember this is several days early and this story very, very true. In a genius stroke of marketing, Dr. Pepper has offered a free can of Dr. Pepper to everyone in the United States if Guns N’ Roses will just release their long-awaited album Chinese Democracy sometime in 2008. Nothing like whiny hair metal and syrupy soda to bring democracy to the Communists!
Seriously though, Guns N’ Roses only retains original front man Axl Rose, as all other band members have jumped shipped. Does anyone really expect this album to possibly live up to the hype? It’s been nearly seventeen years in the making and cost over $13 million already. Maybe it’s time to just forget some 80s icons and move on with things in the music industry? And couldn’t a good tasting soda be the next to offer free drinks?
