Axl Rose Responds to Dr Pepper

web.gunsnroses.com — 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. And as some of Buckethead's performances are on our album, I'll share my Dr Pepper with him.

    • implied, on 03/28/2008, -7/+2Do people really ***** think this is real? Jesus baby ***** christ! Are you people still waiting for Microsoft to send you thousands of dollars for forwarding that email?
      • cawpin, on 03/28/2008, -2/+3Buried, both implied and the story for douchebaggery. MrBabyMan is just submitting things from comments on previous stories. Real original.
        • implied, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1Awww :( You didn't have to be so mean.
    • knobtwiddler, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Axl Rose, Lead Dr. Pepper Spokesperson of Guns n Roses.
      its his new title.
    • peestandingup, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Isn't it sons of bitches??

      As in: "Sons of bitches! Bumpeses!!"
      • chiefs10, on 03/28/2008, -1/+2oooooooooooohhhhhh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuddgggggggggeeee!!!
      • midbc, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1i am gonna shoot my eye out
    • herecomes, on 03/28/2008, -1/+0Does anyone know what Dr. Pepper is supposed to be a euphemism for? Is it like "We've been dancing with Dr. Pepper", or "Bob Guccione Jr what are you ***** off 'cause your Dad gets more Dr. Pepper than you?"
    • toasterweasel, on 03/28/2008, -2/+2This out of many of MrBabyMan's submits shows whats wrong with digg. Maybe I shouldn't fault him anymore. After all it's you morons who digg it up like the retarded lap dogs you are. This link was already put in the comments of the previous Dr. Pepper Guns N Roses saga here(I would have linked to the actual comment but digg seems to have broken that): http://digg.com/music/Free_Dr_Pepper_for_everyone_ ...
  • GuerillaC, on 03/28/2008, -2/+16So...when do I get my free can?
    • Jeffler, on 03/28/2008, -6/+1NEVAAAAR!!!!!1
    • implied, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7I would like ONE source from Dr. Pepper saying any of this is true. One.
  • darkchild82, on 03/28/2008, -1/+27I'm surprised Axl even bothered to post something on that website. I remember visiting that website years ago when they announced Chinese Democracy - & not seeing any considerable updates since !
  • twertyto, on 03/28/2008, -15/+11How is this front page worthy?
    • mywhitenoise, on 03/28/2008, -6/+10How is it not? Chinese Democracy is one of the longest (if not, THE longest) delayed album in rock history.
      • solid12345, on 03/28/2008, -1/+2And what indication is there it is coming out, I predict another year of coal in your stocking from Rose.
        • FlyingSpaghetti, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7I'm holding out for the Chinese Democracy + Duke Nukem Forever bundle!
      • twertyto, on 03/28/2008, -5/+3How is it not?

        I dunno know. GNR sucks maybe.
        • mywhitenoise, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3I'm no GNR fan, but their albums have sold 90 million copies. I'm sure somebody would find this newsworthy.
          • subliminalurge, on 03/28/2008, -2/+5Except that this upcoming album isn't from GNR. It's from a band that bears no resemblance to the band that sold those 90 million albums. Axl just happened to retain the rights to the name.

            Velvet Revolver is more GNR than the band that's releasing Chinese Democracy.
          • mywhitenoise, on 03/28/2008, -3/+2Who the ***** doesn't know that Velvet Revolver is the remaining members of GNR with Scott Wyland on vocals? You think you're pointing out some obscure fact?
      • blagoaw, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0It will be released when.. well, when there's Chinese democracy. Which is never. The name is appropriate because the album is a cruel hoax on the stupid masses, which has always been his style.
    • IglooBurner, on 03/28/2008, -7/+2Because Axel Rose ("Oral Sex" jumbled up) has spoken.

      So... Buckethead is probably not gonna get any free Dr pepper.
      • Tamriel, on 03/28/2008, -4/+3dude. Are you retarded? Axel Rose jumbled up is totally xree osal.

        But seriously, you're missing an e. Try "Oral Sexe"

        That makes you French. You frog.
        • macweirdo42, on 03/28/2008, -1/+11*facepalm*

          It's Axl, not Axel! You added an extra e, you wanker.
      • cannabrain, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2A guy who looks like Micheal Myers and a KFC bucket on his head deserves free dr. pepper man!!!
        • Rahodeb, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Don't forget..."plays guitar like a god."

          Buckethead rules!
    • MiamiRox, on 03/28/2008, -1/+8Because its a MrBabyMan submission, everything he ***** out ends up on the front page.
      Whose dick do you gotta suck around here to be front page worthy???
    • MrBabyMan, on 03/28/2008, -6/+3Context:
      http://digg.com/music/Free_Dr_Pepper_for_everyone_ ...
    • BoyWithBigHands, on 03/28/2008, -2/+5MrBabyMan, the person singlehandedly bringing Digg into the gutter with non-story after non-story magically promoted to the front page.

      Congratulations, idiot.
    • nymphetamine, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Is http://digg.com/people/Douchebag_Tattoos_Are_Back_ ... front page worthy, twrtyto?

      If your answer was yes, then you win!
  • jcastillo81, on 03/28/2008, -3/+101Maybe he is waiting for actual democracy in China before he releases the album?
    • NoCt1, on 03/28/2008, -16/+2I was thinking the album was released. Since I have had it for a while.. and its not the greatest.. in fact.. i would go to say britney spears album was better..
      • lostarchitect, on 03/28/2008, -0/+14you have not had the album for a while. you have had a jumble of demo songs, some of which will probably be on the final album.
      • userperson, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Perhaps that's why Axl's still working on it,
        ... or maybe not.
    • SeanRoss, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5So your saying no Dr. Pepper? :(
    • Omano, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1*zing*
    • twertyto, on 03/28/2008, -3/+2I just spit Dr. Pepper all over my monitor after reading that.
    • stonklit, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3Why does this same stupid ***** joke keep getting dugg up?

      What, are you all new or something?
    • DeadSkinMask, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Buried for lack of originality.
    • blagoaw, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0I'm surprised by the comments above. I've been under the assumption that this was (Axl's) joke all along. He doesn't really intend to release it and he's screwing with us. Maybe he's undecided about whether or not he'll bother and he chose this name to leave it open.
    • roho76, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1China is a Democracy. Just like America is a Democracy. I mean Republic.....When did we become a Democracy again? I thought we were a republic. GWB is turning Iraq into a Democracy. So using that rational, China is turning Tibet into a Democracy too. I love Democracy so much.
  • hpvforum, on 03/28/2008, -6/+15*****. Its all viral marketing. Would be talking about Dr. Pepper or Guns and Roses if not for this stunt?
    • twertyto, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5Well Guns and Roses kinda need to have a product for marketing to work.
    • stonklit, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Your post is viral marketing.

      I wouldn't be replying to it or giving it any thought if you hadn't made it.
      • scottschiller, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1HEY GUYS WHAT'S UP IN THIS VIRAL MARKETING!? :)
    • cheeseron, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1dr pepper is delicious
  • markbrown, on 03/28/2008, -4/+48Next up: with the release of her second album, Paris Hilton promises a nation blowjobs.
    • macweirdo42, on 03/28/2008, -7/+2DO NOT WANT!!!
      • turpenine, on 03/28/2008, -1/+14shut up, yes you do. You KNOW she would be pro.
        • Bersy, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1enjoy bathing your penis in the cumstains of the 5 million guys before you.
      • Okari, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5I'll take yours then.
      • Myonosken, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Oh come on. Stop trying to kid yourself- she doesn't have to talk.
    • daedalous, on 03/28/2008, -1/+6And as an added bonus, free aids!
      • mufasa, on 03/28/2008, -1/+9Paris Hilton thought STD's were like Pokemon, gotta catch em all.
    • anarchyinthekr, on 03/28/2008, -0/+10blowing the entire nation is quite a task...luckily she's been making headway on this project for years
  • speedk0re, on 03/28/2008, -6/+20this album is going to suck... spaghetti incident anyone?
    • mywhitenoise, on 03/28/2008, -1/+7No *****, it's going to suck. Still going to be funny to see the outcome of it's release.
    • dadioflex, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Hmm. I liked the Spaghetti Incident. But I was a Skyliners and a New York Dolls fan.
    • harajukukei, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1i like the spaghetti incident too. sure it doesnt seem impressive after illusion, but c'mon its a cover album.
  • DeadSkinMask, on 03/28/2008, -3/+53Axl Rose is a douchebag of the finest pedigree.
    You can only screw your fans over so many times before they give up on you completely.
    • Dys>, on 03/28/2008, -4/+15But, for a free Dr Pepper, I might just get back on board.
    • dadioflex, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6Not a Metallica fan then?
  • Fitzmcgee, on 03/28/2008, -3/+16I'm glad someone posted this, I was so anxious to hear what Mr. Rose had to say about all this.
  • reclusiveraider, on 03/28/2008, -2/+10that album will suck no matter what, theres just no way it can live up to hype.
  • solid12345, on 03/28/2008, -10/+8Kevin Rose must want his free can of Dr. Pepper bad, 161 diggs and frontpage already.
    • bxblox, on 03/28/2008, -0/+12you can get on front page with 40 diggs, 161 isnt stretching it
      • ELLIS1128, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4And also, Kevin Rose doesn't single- handedly provide all of the diggs
      • BoyWithBigHands, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4You can if you're MrBabyMan, submitter of pure crap.
  • BicBall, on 03/28/2008, -4/+11Buckethead woo!
  • ReadVonnegut, on 03/28/2008, -1/+24Do you actually have to buy the album to get the free Dr. Pepper? I think I'd rather spend my $15 on $15 worth of Dr. Pepper.
  • TheAnarchist, on 03/28/2008, -9/+9Ohhhhh Sweet Dr. Pepper Can O' Mine.
  • skeletorcares, on 03/28/2008, -5/+7Axl Rose blogging about sharing dr pepper with his bucket headed friends. I can see why girls like him.
  • airburst, on 03/28/2008, -1/+92Chinese Democracy will come bundled with Duke Nukem Forever.
    • dafragsta, on 03/28/2008, -0/+8The liner notes contain information on building a cold fusion generator.
    • stonklit, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0Seriously, that would be an amazing marketing ploy.
    • daishin, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5Chinese Democracy is the name of Duke Nukem Forever's soundtrack.
    • jon30041, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Perhaps the world of DNF is one in which China achieves democracy?

      I don't know much about Duke Nukem... Just that 3d was pretty *****' sweet.
  • frogman54, on 03/28/2008, -1/+28Everybody thinks the album has been delayed, but GNR wanted to go old school with their recording techniques. Multi-tracking onto wax cylinder just takes time.
    • BNash577, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5They have to wait for the clone of Thomas Edison to grow up so he can engineer their tracks.
    • twertyto, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1I see what you did there. Mixed two front page stories together. You crazy!
    • userperson, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2They Might Be Giants seems to manage it okay.
    • palmer, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Wax? Don't you read the news? Turns out you can record onto paper coated with soot. Much warmer, fuller tone than that newfangled wax.
  • kmotiv1, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6Hell yeah! This is going to save me like $1...
  • ELLIS1128, on 03/28/2008, -2/+3i thought Axl Rose was supposed to be a bit more badass than he has come across here..
  • manfromfuture, on 03/28/2008, -5/+3I don't get the Bucket head comment. Is that some kind of cheap shot?
    • ssmith2k3, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2sorry, why is it a cheap shot?
    • manfromfuture, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3I don't know. I just don't get what it means, so I assumed that I was missing something. Is there some kind of feud between the two? Maybe over some content on the album?
      • ssmith2k3, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1oh ok. i didn't know the backstory either
    • punkcat, on 03/28/2008, -0/+9Buckethead left Guns & Roses some time ago to do his own stuff.
      as the Dr.Pepper offer excluded him from the deal (as well as Slash), Axl, still liking the work that he did is offering to share his with him.

      (was in more detail the first time this was dugg)

  • Ianislevi, on 03/28/2008, -4/+1Hey, now I get to add another Dr. Pepper to my fridge! Today is a very happy day!
  • derekge, on 03/28/2008, -3/+8Axl who? Guns 'N what? Long live Izzy Stradlin!
  • digitallysick, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4It would be nice if they would go back , and make it sound like the old days. If i was Axel Rose that would be my goal.
  • MattB123, on 03/28/2008, -3/+10I don't really understand this. But what I do know is that Buckethead is awesome!
    • socketman, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7Yay for Buckethead!
    • dumpyhumpy, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4Buckethead's just about the only cool part of this article. True, DrPepper is remotely cool.... but if that was the coolest part it'd just be a ***** DrPepper ad with Axel Rose in it. I know Axel Rose was supposedly the ***** 25 years ago, but honestly, I don't give a *****. Get over him.
      • MattB123, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1Yeah, Axl is a semi-talented, over-botoxed, has-been who was once in the right place at the right time.
        Even 25 years ago I thought he sucked, but a lot of people disagreed with me at the time.
  • daggone, on 03/28/2008, -1/+8I cannot believe this guy hasn't put a gun in his mouth yet.
  • DJDee85, on 03/28/2008, -4/+6meh...If it was Mr.Pibb I'd be more excited
    • ruug, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3yeah what the ***** is this 23 flavors ***** anyways? 1 drink, 1 flavor.
    • palmer, on 03/28/2008, -1/+2if it WERE Mr. Pibb...
      • DJDee85, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1Singular subject asshole...WAS
        • Soonago, on 03/30/2008, -0/+1Doesn't matter. It's the rule of conditional statements. If you were to use correct grammar, you would have written it, "Singular subject, asshole." Notice the comma.
  • invisiblehat, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3'Appetite for Destruction' was awesome. After 'Lies', they have pretty much sucked.
  • ColonelJessup, on 03/28/2008, -2/+4You're one in a million, yeah, that's what you are
    You're one in a million, babe you're a shooting star
    Maybe someday we'll see you, before you make us cry
    You know we tried to reach you, but you were much too high
    Much too high! Much too highiiiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! YEAH!
    • neodorian, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1I was always bummed by the lyrics in that song. Not that I care what Axl Rose says but I really like the actual song and always want to cover it but I can't really sing those lyrics in public ;)
  • sagat, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1Genius marketing tie in.
  • phenolholic, on 03/28/2008, -1/+7i'm more excited about my free can of dr pepper then i am of gnr's new album or of a democratic society in china for that matter
  • revjustin2, on 03/28/2008, -0/+8big ***** deal
    • Wolfie351, on 03/28/2008, -2/+1Obviously enough of a deal for you to click on the article and comment on it. Do you always spend time with things that are no big deal?
      • revjustin2, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1This took me 20-30 seconds to check out. I don't really consider that a waste of time. I saw the article, clicked it, read the three sentences that were pretty much already mirrored in the description, determined that Axl Rose is still a big ***** douche, and then wrote a three word comment. You see, there was a distinct possibility that maybe this WAS a bigger deal, hence my willingness to expend the "effort". To answer your question, I DO actually spend a lot of time with things that are no big deal. It's called "entertainment".
  • Xproject01, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4Axl rose...who gives a *****? Dr. Pepper? ***** yeah im in.
  • soot, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3Make your album already and give me my free soft drink you lazy *****.
  • Frogking, on 03/28/2008, -10/+1I will never buy another Dr Pepper again. Giving credibility to someone who sings hatred against, "faggots," and immigrants (read the lyrics to One In A Million), is just downright stupid. If the album comes out, can we just get a free pair of earplugs, instead?
    • Wolfie351, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3If I limited my entertainment to just the performers I agreed with politically and socially...I wouldn't be able to listen to music or see any movie or tv show ever again.
  • socketman, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Buckethead is great... he deserves some Dr. p
  • lejeune, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1has anyone seen the personnel on this album? what a *****. srsly
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Democracy#Per ...
  • Dante1969, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1According to Wikipedia Buckethead left GnR in 2004. Axl had the following to say:

    "During his tenure with the band, Buckethead has been inconsistent and erratic in both his behavior and his commitment, despite being under contract, creating uncertainty and confusion and making it virtually impossible to move forward with recording, rehearsals, and live plans with confidence. His transient lifestyle has made it near impossible for even his closest friends to have nearly any form of communications with him whatsoever."

    Nothing I can say about Axl hasn't been said a million times before by people far more (and less) eloquent than myself.
    • RacerX, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1Is he talking about Buckethead or himself?

      "His transient lifestyle has made it near impossible for even his closest friends to have nearly any form of communications with him whatsoever."

      Buckethead has more talent in his chicken grease coated little pinky than Axl has in his whole plastic surgery reconstructed body. And this is coming form a fan of the original G n'R.
    • blagoaw, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0I think he really was talking about himself. Maybe I give him too much credit, but I always figure Axl's playing a trick on us and is laughing his ass off. He knows the media he's dealing with and how people perceive his character, and he plays with it.
  • NyQuilPillz, on 03/28/2008, -5/+1uhh i thought this came out a while ago? im like 99% sure i have a cd with the name chinese democracy by them and it totally sucked nuts.. ill check when i am home
  • dafragsta, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1/snake dances for joy.
  • zorvi4, on 03/28/2008, -5/+2Too busy listening to Ghost's I-IV from a real artist to waist my time on a talentless has-been. And Dr. Pepper isn't even that good.
  • stonklit, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6I really wish Slash and all them would make nice.

    Goddamn that band was amazing.

    Guess egos get the best of you when you become the largest band in the world.
  • blackgrape, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3Welcome to the soft drink.....
  • knobtwiddler, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2what the hell does that mean????
  • JimboSlice, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4Buckethead rules! Mmm-mmmmm, I sure could go for a nice refreshing can of Dr. Pepper's Ghost.

    Getcha Slunk On.
  • cmgarcia, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Chinese Democracy = Duke Nukem Forever
  • wush, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Buckethead08
  • BoyWithBigHands, on 03/28/2008, -4/+3MrBabyMan goes front page with another pointless story. I'm not sure which was my favorite - this, your "How to use Toilet Paper" submission, or that picture of a fish. All front page worthy apparently.
    • ruug, on 03/28/2008, -1/+2maybe you should whine about it more. is this three or four comments about it already?
    • Comanche, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1He got lucky with a few good stories on diggnation and now everyone diggs his stories, lame or not. With 6000+ "fans" you can't lose.

      /i'm not one of them
  • secondfiddle, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0Axl is a walking advert on why not to drink with prescription meds.
  • alkajazz, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2I think the real news here is that Axl Rose still has a career.
