Dr Pepper bitchslapped

[Mobenrad]

Seriously. Dr. Pepper is just selfish. They're using Guns to promote their own soda.

[DarkFairy]

oh wow.. well then.. fuck dr.pepper  I've never had it anyway

[*Timothy*]

Take a sip of his tasty 23 flavored DR.PEPPER!!

[RancidPunx]

Well since we must be the vocal fans, you tell me, Did the Dr.Pepper offer ruin the ChiDem release day for you?
?The redemption scheme your company clumsily implemented for this offer was an unmitigated disaster which defrauded consumers and, in the eyes of vocal fans, ?ruined? the day of Chinese Democracy?s release?.

Can anyone here tell me this ruined the release of ChiDem for them?

[gunns1]

why would it ruin someones day,

we have waited for 15 years for the music,
I wouldn't give a fuck about some soft drink .

(although im from Oz, so I was never looking forward to a dr pepper, but still).

Did you not read the letter I posted from Axl's Lawyers? They said it did so I was asking if anyone on here agreed.

[gunns1]

The americans were probably looking forward to the dr pepper,
and it would of been a nice free bonus when buying the cd..

But I don't know why it would ruin the day of actually obtaining chinese democracy,
sure its a let down,
but ruining the experience?

thats a bit of an over exaggeration,
Im sure dr Pepper will get what they deserve hopefully.

because i'm a die hard fan, i was going to buy cd for sure anyway.  but i talked to a bunch of my friends, and they were on the fence about buying it.  but after failin got get their free dr. pepper for an extra day, they got really mad and totally decided to take it out on axl.  for sure, this dr. pepper scandal ruined cd for a lot of people.  they simply could not enjoy the music anymore.  it really fucking pisses me off.

Your friends didn't buy ChiDem over a fucking 50 cent can of pop? Wow, they must be really big rock fans

How about telling them to listen to the MUSIC and not worry about a cheap ass can of pop?

It's a can of pop not a fucking car giveaway.

it's the whole experience.  it's not just about the can of soda.  it's about the build up and the hype and the excitement of getting the can of soda.  like i say they were on the fence anyways.  this just tipped the scales. 

this is an absolute disagrace!  and because chinese democracy day was ruined for them, it was ruined for me.  i'd waited so long to be able to show them up by blasting the cd int the car on the way home -- WHILE SIPPING OUR DR. PEPPERS.  it didnt' happen.  whos' fault is it?  axl's?  no, he's the one who's caring about the fans here.

But we knew in advance that you didn't get the Dr.Pepper right away. Why not just spring for the 3 cans so that you guys could have enjoyed the Dr. Pepper on the way home?
What fucking excitement is there in getting a can of soda? Getting ChiDem yes, a can of soda? WTF? Come on. You should have sprung the 2 bucks and bought your friends the 3 cans.

On second thought if someone chose to not buy the album based on a fucking can of soda, I would rather they not listen to GNR anyway. Most of the songs would be over their heads if this is the kind of logic they use. Tell them to stick with Nickelcrack.

So your day was ruined because your friends were upset that they didn't get their dr pepper?
were you actually looking forward to chinese?

I hope Axl gets the best outcome out of this situation, but at the same time, I hope this legal battle doesn't consume to much time in the wake of the promotion..
anyways Im sure things will pick up from dec 2 onwards.

Hey man, they wanted their free soda and since they didn't get it, they chose not to buy ChiDem. Sounds logical

[*Timothy*]

Logical to a fucking three year old.

THis shit ain't burger king , it ain't have it your way.

[suicide]

Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses should sue Irving Azoff and Andy Gould for failing to deliver "a monumental campaign developed by Gary Arnold and the Best Buy team that matches the groundbreaking sound of the album itself"

[SLCPUNK]

OMG, so dramatic!

[RancidPunx]

OMG, so dramatic!

Not really. Falungong69's friends were so upset over their lack of a free Dr.Pepper that they didn't buy the album. I say rally the troops and start the lawsuits!

Well I -was- planning on taking a drive with the album while sipping my free Doc Pep, to really "drink in" the full experience of the album's release, but the latter part obviously fell through. Totally ruined it for me.

Dr. Pepper!

[The Catcher]

That fucking drink tastes like ass anyway.
I've drank it like once in my whole life, when I was a kid.
Boycott that piss.
