Dr. Pepper is a Guns N' Roses fan - FP Posted

The challenege:

Quote:

The Cadbury Schweppes plc brand has vowed to give "everyone in America" a free can of the fizzy drink (except for estranged Guns N' Roses guitarists Slash and Buckethead) if Rose manages to release his long-awaited album Chinese Democracy in 2008. No word on whether that offer is open to us Canucks.

The Response (from gnr website):

Quote:

"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."

I think Slash can afford his own Dr Pepper, after all, he's in the better band.

No Slash? They might need to bribe "everyone in America" to listen to it. Did they ever get rid of that rythmless drummer they had in the 80s?

Buckethead rules though

I think Chinese Democracy is a hoax. I mean look at all the other music that comes out and is leaked onto the interent. This cd has been made for 17 years and hasn't leaked? bs. And they've even got back together a couple times and played live shows....but never played anything from this cd? bs.

Theres a few songs floating around of live performances.. Songs Ive never heard of that are claimed to be pieces from the album. Check limewire. What I heard was horrible quality and wasnt really worth listening to.

Companies need to do this more often.

I still wish I had gotten a free taco when MIR fell

At Islander games we get free chili from wendys each time we score 3 goals. Not that its good, but makes the trip home more entertaining as we try to hit like 10 wendys in attempt to build up an arsenal of chili.

Oooh yeah, don't want to be stuck in the car on a long drive with a bunch of guys brimming with Wendy's chili......

Jack n Box gives 2 free tacos at Lakers games when the opponent is under 100.
