Dr. Pepper to Give Away Free Product If Axl Rose Releases ‘Chinese Democracy’<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"Axl<\/span>Dr. Pepper is imploring\u00a0Axl Rose<\/a>\u00a0to put out his album that’s been an astounding 17 years in the making. The creators of the curiously candy-like beverage have promised that if Rose releases\u00a0Guns N’ Roses<\/a>‘ ‘Chinese Democracy’ at any point in 2008, everyone in America will receive a free can of Dr. Pepper.
<\/span><\/p>\n

But free soda aside, the best part about the proposal might just be the way the company is not only relating to, but sympathizing with, the 46-year-old singer. “It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper’s special mix of 23 ingredients that our fans have come to know and love,” said Jaxie Alt, director of marketing for Dr. Pepper — not even blinking at her nod to the band’s 1989 hit ‘Patience.’ “So we completely understand and empathize with Axl’s quest for perfection — for something more than the average album.” What’s more? The “everyone” in their promise comes with a big, wickedly funny\u00a0asterisk<\/font>: According to the Dr., both\u00a0Slash<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Buckethead\u00a0<\/a>will be left off the gift list. Bet they didn’t see that coming.

Feel like supporting the cause? Head\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0to get involved.<\/span><\/p>\n
