I won't believe that record's coming out until I actually see it in the store and don't buy it.

the company's plan to distribute free cans of soda will involve an online coupon system.

That's no fun. Mail 'em!

I wonder how many cans of soda it would take to break the suspension on a regular little mail truck ;)

Locked up in one. When you assemble more than 20% of Guns and Roses and THEY put out an album, give me a call.

I hate Dr. Pepper.
But I love a company that keeps its silly promises.

said it another thread: I have to buy Chinese Democracy before I get a free Dr. Pepper? No deal.

Woohoo free soda!

Sweet. I'll listen to it while playing Duke Nukem Forever.

Sadly, the soda will be better than the album.

like i've been saying for a while now, anyone that's going to buy this album would buy it no matter what by this point. it could take another five years. axl could take out a full-page ad in rolling stone and spin and call everyone who buys this album an idiot. he could rape your mother and you'd still say "man, he's still got the same energy!"

 
angrygrizzly 2008-10-19 02:25:47 PM  
Wow. A release date.

It's like deja vu all over again.

But this won't be Guns 'N Roses, this is that cover band I like to call "Axl 'N Some Guys". I saw them at a festival in Germany a couple years ago and they sucked.

 
Thudfark 2008-10-19 02:32:02 PM  
Whackso'l Rose?

Meh.....

Dr Pepper.
Mmmm-good.

Discovered the delight that is JD and Dr P a couple of weekends ago. Highly recommended.

It's coming. The manager of the music store I used to work at has been sent the tracklisting and release details by the record company - that has never happened any of the previous times.

 
danduran 2008-10-19 04:14:29 PM  
And before you say 'but it's only being sold through Best Buy', that's only in the US - we don't have Best Buy here. All your 'Walmart Exclusives' get sold normally here too.

I'm sorry, that's the red phone. Let me scoop that up.

 
Help-Im-Sober 2008-10-19 05:31:40 PM  
I am still trying to make an ethical determination here. Is this album even worth downloading off the Bit Torrent network, or will I feel badly for wasting my ISP's bandwidth.

I have already determined that there is no way in bloody hell that I would actually spend money for it at Best Buy.

/although I might spend a few minutes staring at it in the display rack, as one would stare at a sideshow freak at a carnival

 
russtcb 2008-10-19 07:18:14 PM  
Based solely on the leaks... this album is going to be great.

 
RogermcAllen 2008-10-19 07:29:21 PM  
So where does one go to buy a single can of Dr. Pepper?

You don't. They said everyone in the US. Looks like you'll have to sign up to print out a coupon on their website.

I always enjoy a refreshing Dr Pepper while browsing Fark.

/c'mon people, it wasn't that long ago

The Chinese Democracy album
A can of Dr. Pepper


Suckage.
Vortex.
No assembly required.

When they released Dr Pepper in Australia, they had a promotion where every third can you bought was free. I wonder if anyone ever claimed it?

Flagg99: Woohoo free soda!

Yes, Dr. Pepper is like soda. Caustic lye poured down your throat. Who willingly drinks that stuff?

You want a real treat? Take your JD, add a finger of Dr. P and then top with root beer.

/Tasty.

i dont think everyone has an email address.

 
bionicjoe 2008-10-20 04:27:32 PM  
Everyone should try the original Dr. Pepper made from sugar cane, the way it was originally made.

That's the good stuff.
Available online & at the factory in Waco, TX.
