I wasn't much interested in the Guns N' Roses long-awaited album Chinese Democracy, but when Dr Pepper announced the free soda deal, my ears perked up a bit. It seems everyone else's did too.
According to cnn.com, Dr Pepper's site crashed from the mad rush to get the one-day coupon. Disgruntled fans are now blaming lead singer Axl for their missed chance of a free drink.
Now the band is trying to clear its name and brought in its lawyers to "clean up the mess." They sent the soda company a letter this week demanding an apology and to make good on its deal for all those who missed out.

Something interesting that I heard on a Memphis radio station while on vacation:
It has taken OVER 10 YEARS to make the Chinese Democracy album.
The ENTIRE Beatles career (from beginning to end) lasted exactly one decade.
Get over yourself Axl... not only does this new record blow, the fact that you took tens years to make it just shows how inept you really are. The Beatles proved what can be accomplished in ten years. You made one lousy album. You're a wash-up and a joke. Go away Axl!!

Poor Axhole...reduced to frothing at the mouth about a soft drink. How pathetic.
who cares about a free bottle of soda. America deserves a break from Axl and Dr. Pepper.
It's a can of soda....it costs less than a dollar. And it's a crappy record...worth less than a dollar. What's all the fuss about?

The album is actually great. This I Love, Prostitute, CD, Shacklers, and esp. Sorry are all killer songs. You guys should listen a few more times, let it all sink it, its quite amazing.
w23,
Do you hang out with Uncle Rico??
axl is a huge douche is right.
10 years to create a record is absurd.
Hey c'mon Camo--give me a little credit--I have better taste than that--and besides I bet I could throw this album over that mountain (and into the landfill of course)
Uncle Rico,
You're awesome! I love you! Can I watch your football video again?
I wish they'd serve Dr. Pepper in nylon polymer. Gosh!
