Wut?

 
Snaps [TotalFark] 2008-04-10 05:41:33 PM  
I don't even like Dr Pepper, but I'd drink to that.

 
Dude seriously WTF 2008-04-10 05:50:07 PM  
another 14 years, by which time the unique flavor that once made us enjoy the beverage will have become dated, trite, and the subject of public ridicle... kinda like Axl now that I think about it.

 
neapoi 2008-04-10 05:52:59 PM  
BOOOOOOO

 
sullyman 2008-04-10 05:55:45 PM  
That only happens when it gets released. So unless the record label turns it around before January 1st, you are out of luck.

 
stingrza [TotalFark] 2008-04-10 05:55:59 PM  
Hey! Half a year old news with a newsflash tag attached! Great!

 
zvoidx 2008-04-10 05:59:04 PM  
I bet that it's "good enough" and they are taking advantage that the Olympics are being held in China.

I know that doesn't sound like much.. but it might draw interest to the album/sales.

That website sucked.

It's the SportsbyBrooks of music.

If it ever surfaces everybody knows it will be the biggest pile of lightly toasted elephant bollocks ever.

were you saying Boo, or Boo-urns?

I'm regrowing my mullet now. I'm going to be on top of this shiat!

YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! GNR!!

 
Aarontology [TotalFark] 2008-04-11 01:31:25 AM  
I'm sure it will be epically mediocre.

With a title like Chinese Democracy and the Chinese Olympics to open in August, I would say this is the perfect opportunity to release the album right before the Olympics to bank off of that publicity. If that's the plan right now, then it's pretty farking genius move since album sales for most artists have been pretty pathetic compared to what they once were.

 
CanadianCommie [TotalFark] 2008-04-11 01:44:48 AM  
I'll believe it when I see it on a shelf at a record store/on itunes.

 
kingflower 2008-04-11 01:46:11 AM  
I've heard that this album both cures and causes cancer. You've been informed/warned.

 
j-po 2008-04-11 01:55:39 AM  
Axl will never finish this album until someone from the label manages to somehow null that contract he signed years back where he gets a ridiculous amount of money every year until Chinese Democracy comes out. Sinatra did something similar to a label where he'd come into the studio, "try to sing", nothing happens, and he leaves with his check (though i believe he was just trying to get out of his shabby record deal).

They somehow got Michael Jackson to finish both History and Invincible, and somehow Axl is bulletproof?

 
Dr.Zom 2008-04-11 02:06:47 AM  
So who was that weird looking dude pictured in the article?

 
lolmadillo 2008-04-11 02:08:02 AM  
my question - is it going to be more like "Use Your Illusion I" or "Use your Illusion 2"

cause one of those CDs definitely got the short end of the stick in that relationship

/and i'm not just saying that because my allowance could only support buying them one at a time
//wouldn't it be nice if it could be more like appetite for destruction?

 
iammess 2008-04-11 02:18:59 AM  
No Slash = No GNR

/just sayin'

 
unfknreal 2008-04-11 02:26:18 AM  
but it's been 14 years of silence,
14 years of pain
it's been 14 years that are gone forever
and i'll never have again.

 
Christian Bale 2008-04-11 02:41:48 AM  
I haven't had a Dr. Pepper since Chinese Democracy was first promised, come to think of it...

Have the Rolling Stones killed.

 
Daraymann [TotalFark] 2008-04-11 03:03:59 AM  
Axl Rose + Scab Band != Guns N Roses.

Thank you.

Good DAY sir!

 
SuperCatBarf [TotalFark] 2008-04-11 03:05:56 AM  
Maybe now the mystique surrounding Axl Rose will be supplanted by the universal dismissal he so richly deserves.

 
Jakevol2 2008-04-11 03:11:27 AM  
FREE TIBET!!!!


/wait what?

 
dbirchall [TotalFark] 2008-04-11 03:20:35 AM  
I'm a little surprised that the offer of a free soda would motivate Axl where clearly nothing else has, but hey, everybody has their price.

/All I wanted was a Pepsi. Just one Pepsi. And she wouldn't give it to me.

 
J13P 2008-04-11 03:32:54 AM  
have you seen axl....hasnt he had enough sodas?

someone better put him back on heroin so he looks half way decent.

I wish axl had suicidal tendencies...

 
LonMead 2008-04-11 05:55:50 AM  
Jakevol2: FREE TIBET!!!!

Deep Discounts on Nepal, Bhutan, and Taiwan!!!

Axl Rose's voice used to sound like someone trying to gargle a live cat... can't imagine it's gotten any better.

In more important news, Joss Stone is 21 today.

/would like to buy her a drink.
//then spank her
///or let her spank me... whatever

 
secularsage 2008-04-11 06:12:05 AM  
Oddly, there is no period in "Dr Pepper".

Look it up. It's true.

 
parkerlewis 2008-04-11 07:22:27 AM  
Hopefully you don't have to buy the album to get the free Dr Pepper.

 
boxybrown27 2008-04-11 07:47:43 AM  
I hope Axl isn't dyslexic and this is an april fool's prank.

 
cubsfan07 2008-04-11 08:20:11 AM  
secularsage: Oddly, there is no period in "Dr Pepper".



Might as well be, they've put just about every other flavor in.


/half of you just gagged
//the other half are vampires who suddenly got very thirsty for some Diet Cherry Vanilla Period Blood Dr Pepper.

I refuse to believe this album exists until I can berate someone in a music store for buying it.

Crude 2008-04-11 10:29:04 AM  
So it's arriving next Tuesday?

Oh, wait...


The article says it's "finished". That doesn't mean what you think it means.

FTFA: are currently haggling over money and rights issues with Rose.

I look forward to hearing about the haggling over the money for the next 14 years.

 
Already Disturbed 2008-04-11 10:32:23 AM  
With spaghetti?

 
HellblazerPrime 2008-04-11 10:34:03 AM  
Never. That article's not true, because Chinese Democracy is never coming out.

 
flecsrogar 2008-04-11 10:47:29 AM  
What happens if it does come out? Then what? Everything I know will be a LIE!

And i'm going to have to release a cd called Pennsylvanian Dictatorship!

 
mofomisfit 2008-04-11 11:11:05 AM  
Lets pretend it does eventually come out this year. Do I have to buy the damn cd to get my Dr Pepper, because that's absolutely not worth it. But if the Dr Pepper is just free for everyone, well then, that'll be...just fine. If that's the case I hope it comes out during the summer because I might be thirsty then.

 
debug 2008-04-11 11:21:14 AM  
You all realize that this album is going to be one huge steaming pile of fail, right?

14 years to make an album? Yeah, that's gonna sound great...

 
Banky_The_Hack 2008-04-11 11:36:30 AM  
Did they record this underwater for fish?

/Mermurder!

 
Farkwell Smart 2008-04-11 11:37:01 AM  
I cant wait to download this off bittorrent. it will go nicely with all my other GNR mp3s i never listen too.

Really?

I'm surprised... anyone else surprised?

Raise your hand if you are shocked.

*raises hand*

I'm shocked.

 
Silver1973 2008-04-11 11:51:56 AM  
Wettner, for the win.

 
Craig_Young 2008-04-11 11:55:10 AM
