What happened to rock? As the world wonders who let Axl out his cell, Guns N Roses lawyers make veiled threats to sue Dr. Pepper.
In March of 2008, the soda started the promotion that every person in America could get a free Dr. Pepper if GNR put out Chinese democracy, the new album 17 years in the making, before the end of the year. Well, the album came out in November to the world's collective yawn and Dr. Pepper put a free soda coupon on their website for only 24 hours. Problem was that the site crashed with all the traffic and peeps got angry. Some people seemed to think this soda disaster was somehow Axl's fault, even though GNR had no official role in the promotion.
Now Axl is talking about suing cuz he feels Dr. Pepper needs to do right by the fans.
Well buddy, you didn't do right by this fan by showing your old, bipolar face again. Please, please leave some of my high school memories of GNR and rock in general in tact. Go back to your cardboard box under the freeway and keep your hallucinations to yourself. How did rock n roll, the musical catalyst of social rebellion, become about getting your free soda?
