Free Dr. Pepper For Every United States Citizen If Guns N' Roses Release New Album "Chinese Democracy"
Band Photo: Guns N Roses (?)
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 former GN'R 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."
Show your support for Axl and get on the nightrain of encouragement at this location.
Commented Axl Rose in a statement: "We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr. Pepper with our album, 'Chinese Democracy", as for us this came totally out of the blue. If there is any involvement with this promotion by our record company or others, we are unaware of such at this time. And as some of Buckethead's performances are on our album, I'll share my Dr Pepper with him."

definatly a Mountain Dew and Pepsi fan here... but there are times when the ol Rootbeer is a necessity... and I must agree with Kalis_... Barqs is the way to go.!!
To try and describe the taste of Dr.Pepper to someone thats never tried it... well, thats almost like trying to describe what Rootbeer tastes like..... its damn near impossible..!!

Hahahaha! The Mormans had to make a soft drink that was non-caffinated so they made and sold Pepsi products. Not only is it against my religon to drink that which is made from Mormans, but it tastes nasty to me. Funny part is I thought it was nasty even as a small child and always loved Coke products.

Well that's lose/win for you Oz, Root beer is the sh**, all it needs is some alcohol to make it true to it's namesake. Mountain Dew, however, kills your "man-cells", if you get my meaning, So regardless of taste, "f*** The Dew". You don't want it. lol

umm... xman, Im wondering where I said anything about Fanta kickin ass..? Are you as stoned as I normally am..? I'm not saying that it isnt a decent flavored soda...but I certainly dont think it kicks ass.... that designation is for something like...oh I dont know...perhaps ROOTBEER..!!!
Buns and Hoses turned to sh^t when everyone left, and it became Axl and his hodgepodge backup band that is posing as GnR..!

Haha Oz I found out that UK doesn't have Mt. Dew the hard way! I studied there for three months last summer and had to go without. Went into a shop and asked if they carried it or anything like it and the person thought I wanted water! It was ok though. Like I said I like Dr. Pepper too. You really seem to love black currant anything as well. Where I am we don't have anything black currant. Your guys' Pizza Express rocks too! I miss those damn olives so much!

Lol! All Aussie Adventures - man that show would have Dr. Pepper flying out anyone's nose. Not that I have a clue what Dr. Pepper is like being from NZ. I've solemnly sworn to give up all soft-drinks, which is pretty easy really. Too much sugar for any males diet, drinking water keeps the metabolism up etc a much healther option :)

Victoria? Well then all I have to say is your beer sucks! VB? blech! hahah :P
I was so very disappointed when All Aussie Adventures stopped airing. Just watched 'Run Fatboy, Run' - dear god I love Dylan Moran. That man is genius hahah.
Dr Pepper is like, a Sarsparella drink, isn't it? Sars and cola or something, I dunno. I hear too much soft-drink actually lowers your sperm count lol. You'd probably have to drink a gallon of the sh** every day, but still, that's pretty nasty.

It's quite funny how different tastes are for simple things like sodas worldwide. I think Fanta pretty much disappeared from the US (along with Tab and many fruity drinks) in the 80s or 90s, but are popular everywhere (and eventyally came back here). In Slovakia, they drink the orange sodas like Fanta like water. It's funny - they even refer to it as "Fanta" even tho Fanta makes (or made) other flavors such as grape soda. Like "get me a Fanta" meaning get me anorange soda. It's like me asking for a Coke or cola when I really mean cherry Pepsi.
I love the code red and mountain dew in general, but had to limit it to 1 a day to curb my sugar intake. Sitting on your a$$ all day in front of the computer and drinking sugary drinks catches up to you after a while :-o

Hahaha I guess not!! Yoo -Hoo is like a chocolate drink tastes like watered down chocolate milk, I know it sounds unpleasant but when I was a little kid it was a favorite of mine (I havent had it for years though). I think the Beastie Boys make reference to it in a couple of their songs.

I don't drink tea actually (there I've just shattered the tea sipping limey image of me for many :p) but Tetley's used to have some decent adverts with monkeys so they win. It's all about Dr Pepper and Fanta. And Pepsi. And Coke. And Tango. Yeah, I like fizzy drinks :p

Haha psythe, I remember going over to Aussie on a rugby trip when I was 18, walking into a liquor store but I didn't know what to say to all the guys to tell them I'd bought XXXX - 4X? Worst beer name ever! I'd quite like to taste American beer to see how it stands up. Drink nothing but the cheap stuff down here in studentville. I'm on some antibiotics at the moment though so have been sober as a judge for months.

Cynic, what is a sober judge?! That concept is foriegn to me. By the way American brew is really nothing to get excited about. In my opinion the German and Irish should only legally be allowed to make beer. The Canadian should be hung if cought trying to make brew. I love my friendly neigbors to the North, but you gents should stick to hockey. I love when you go to a fight and a hockey game breaks out! Hehehe!

Nah, we have plenty of good beers here in the US. If you buy cheap, you get cheap. I prefer Killians (if it's really Irish?), Sam Adams and Honey Wheat (whoever makes that one personally. Best thing about our little local venue where I live is they have Killian's on tap. Haven't been to a single other place that does - many don't have it at all.

Cynic- Yeah, XXXX (pronounced 4X lol) is the dirtest sh** ever.
American beer is basically aussie's light beer. I don't even want to think about America's light beer hahah. I've seen Killian's on tap in a few RSLs here. Crownies are literally the top layer of the VB brew, so they're VERY overrated. I'll go for the Toohey's Extra Dry, Carlton Cold, Super Dry's or Toohey's Old because they're all cheap but drinkable.
O-Matron, I like Monty Python too :)

SPAM?! SPAM?! I DONT LIKE BLOODY SPAM! AHAHAHAHA! Led Zeps "What is and what should never be" is takeing me way back to my childhood! I remember when my family would go to the beach in the George Oregon and my parents would play Zep. The wind would be feirce and the water cold, but we would have a blast! My Mom and Dad loved to wind surf and me and my sis would watch them kick the a$$ of those waves braveing the barges and the rocks. I would think that the lyrics of that song would be playing in their heads as they gripped the mast of their sail. Those were the days!
