DR Pepper Chinese Democracy Challenge + Message From Axl

[dman1991]

This could be the unique marketing ploy to gain exposure.

 Dr pepper doesn't seem to think it is.  I wrote them this morning,  They didn't really deny but they said that They feel that their marketing personnel is doing a great job with this

  you I was thinking about this alot today ... lets say this is true.. and DP released this statement to the USA and now even more people are curious about (and how long it has taken)    At this point Dr Pepper (though a good marketing scheme) is almost mocking it in a way, though it is fuckin cool they are supporting GNR and ill drink more for sure
  but .. if Axl doesn't deliever again this year  it'll be an even bigger joke than it was before

 this could be part of a grander promotional scheme though .. who knows

[GGS]

Yes totally, like obviously it's come to a sad state of affairs when Dr Pepper can make a joke out of Chinese Democracy.  :'(

[GNR_06]

   Absoultely fucking hilarious!!   

[reddragon53545]

 it is also posted on the Washington Posts web site   so this is one of those stories/rumors  gossip  that is traveling pretty fast..  at least the world is talking about the album

 wouldn't it be nice though  if a certain someone  made a statement about a this .. or even aknowledged that it was bullshit

[Nightrainsillusions]

Maybe if they gave Axl free pizza and Budweiser to release it then he would get it released A.S.A.P!!

[Axlcrazy]

Guys.  This is 100% true!!

I talked to Dr. Pepper Co. myself as did several others on MYGNR.com. They confirmed it is a true promo  & asked me questions about how I heard about it. They took my name & # & will call with more details. Basically, the details have leaked before the official promo announcement, but they will make it soon.
