Details On That Free Dr Pepper Thing
If you look down the page a bit, you'll see a story I did earlier on the Free! Dr! Pepper! that will be given out to celebrate the release of Chinese Democracy, the long-awaited album from Guns N' Roses (or what passes for them nowadays). Dr Pepper said it would give away a free drink to every man, woman, and child in America (excluding Slash and Buckethead) if Axl Rose released the album at some point in 2008. Well, here are the details:
Guns N' Roses fans thirsting for the upcoming "Chinese Democracy" will have a sweet, fizzy treat to savor as they listen.Dr Pepper is making good on a prior promise to provide every person in America a can of the soft drink if the album were to arrive in 2008, and yesterday (Oct. 22) revealed details of the plan.
"We never thought this day would come," says Dr Pepper VP of marketing Tony Jacobs. "But now that it's here all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."
Interested fans are being asked to visit DrPepper.com on Nov. 23, the day "Chinese Democracy" is released in the U.S. exclusively via Best Buy. After registering online, fans will receive a coupon redeemable for a 20-oz. Dr Pepper wherever the drink is sold.
The twist: the coupon is only available for 24 hours and will expire on Feb. 28. [all emphasis mine]
Speaking of the album, it seems that even former members think it is going to be killer, even as they acknowledge it was sometimes a bit of a pain working with Little Miss Thang:
Former guitarist Slash told The Pulse of Radio why he finally found it too difficult to work with Rose. "Something with Axl was very insecure and it just kept the band from sort of functioning properly," he said. "Although he was wanting to do things, I never to this day really understand exactly what he was getting at, and because it took so long to ever get anything done, I always attribute it to some sort of fear factor."
