For those of you who haven't paid much attention to music news

[Samus Aran]

Reefer, don't move this thread, it's not just about music. I'm watching you. 

Anyway, for those of you who didn't know, GNR's Chinese Democracy is finally slated for an official release on November 23. But really, I don't care about that. What I find interesting is the deal that Dr. Pepper struck with GNR. They said that if the album was really released finally this year on the date that has been issued by the band, they'd give everyone in America a free Dr. Pepper.

Turns out they're sticking to their side of the bargain.

"We never thought this day would come," said Tony Jacobs, vice president of marketing for Dr Pepper. "But now that it's here all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us." Dr Pepper is ready to give out free soda coupons to every American when the album releases on Nov. 23, 2008. If you're out to get a free Dr Pepper just follow these simple steps:

How To Get Your Free Dr Pepper:

1. On the Nov. 23, 2008 release date, go to Drpepper.com
2. Register your information to receive a coupon for one free 20-oz. Dr Pepper.
3. When your coupon arrives, redeem it wherever Dr Pepper is sold.
4. Drink your Dr Pepper slowly to experience all 23 flavors. Dr's orders.

Coupons will be available for 24 hours, starting at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on Nov. 23, 2008. Allow 4-6 weeks for coupon to arrive. Coupons will expire on Feb. 28, 2009. Limit one coupon per person. Full terms and conditions available at www.drpepper.com."

Now, I don't like Dr. Pepper or the new GNR, but I still found all this pretty interesting. Go get your free Dr. Pepper, those of you that want one. Also FUCK YOU AXL ROSE.

I hope it's in that small bottle.  The small bottle sodas always seem to taste better to me.  I thought they'd be sending the coupons through email or something and that they would be easily duplicatable...

Oh, and Reefer, if you want to be a dick, move it to food 

[YPrrrr]

I love how you have to register your information just to get your soda. It's not worth the trouble in my book

I heard about that deal from somebody, now that a release date is announced, awesome.

Yeah, I'm not all that fond of Dr Pepper to begin with.

I love how they conveniently pick the drink basically everyone hates.

i can't stand root beer.

[Skylark]

that's nice. giving things out like that are nice but i won't take advantage of it. i'm not a big soda fan but i like some kinds like maybe if it were free ginger ale or grape soda...

Dr Pepper =/= Root beer

[Selkie]

Wow, GNR somehow managed to make Chinese Democracy in the least bit meaningful...I love Dr. Pepper!

Seriously though, GNR fucking sucks, has always sucked, and just sucks even more now.

i went through a phase where i liked them a lot

i can still admit to liking a few songs, like "Patience," but i mostly dislike them now

I hate both.

[Skylark]

I think the coke that comes in a glass from restaurants is really great I think but I do not like Guns'n'Roses and I never have.
