- badwithcomputer, on 11/26/2008, -2/+52i was waiting for this lawsuit
- Revolution101, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5wait wtf.. wasn't there a digg story last week saying that they DID deliver and that coupons were going to be available until February?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081120/ap_on_en_mu/gu ...- MarkCiccone, on 11/27/2008, -7/+16I just wanted to say that Guns N' Roses has always sucked, this new album is just the cherry on top of a ***** sundae. ***** this band. Dr. Pepper is delicious. Thanks.
- markbosky, on 11/27/2008, -1/+11I tried multiple times both days and was unable to access the page. I would like to sue for my free can of Dr. Pepper
- antzology, on 11/27/2008, -0/+7Appetite for Destruction is awesome, ***** you MarkCiccone.
- chiefbandit2200, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5No, they let you sign up for coupons for one day only, and the server was down the entire day. That is not delivering. Dr. Pepper lied.
- dudefaceguyman, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5The coupons are available until February, the problem is it was virtually impossible to get them.
Whether or not you like Dr. Pepper. You gotta admit, this was smart advertising on their part. They didn't have to sponsor GNR yet road on the massive buzz Chinese Democracy made.
With that said. I love Dr Pepper and I love GNR. They both just kinda ***** up here. Dr. Pepper kinda halfassed their coupon thing, and the GNR lawyer is a royal dick head. - yaddayaddayoda, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3I got on the website just after midnight. No problem.
- Technopundit, on 11/27/2008, -1/+2GNR: Drugs much?
- themastersb, on 11/27/2008, -1/+3I'm also in the state of mind where I'm mad at Dr Pepper because when I tried to order a coupon it didn't list my Province. Until I get my free Dr Pepper I'm never drinking it again.
- Revolution101, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5wait wtf.. wasn't there a digg story last week saying that they DID deliver and that coupons were going to be available until February?
- balibones, on 11/26/2008, -10/+67Uhhh... Did you hear those songs? I thought it was a joke. Axel's voice really flew out the window.

- rheaume, on 11/27/2008, -6/+5Totally disagree and the long list of critics that agree with me
- thefloss, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2I'm with you. Most people on here haven't even listened to it, and it seems to be the cool new thing to hate on Axl/new GnR.
Chi Dem rocks.
- thefloss, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2I'm with you. Most people on here haven't even listened to it, and it seems to be the cool new thing to hate on Axl/new GnR.
- Soonago, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2Interesting comment. I've read plenty of comments ripping the music, but not one person saying Axl's voice was bad now. His voice is the best part of the album.
- Revolution101, on 11/27/2008, -1/+10along with his mind...
- MadSins, on 11/26/2008, -7/+56axl is a HACK
- Markers, on 11/27/2008, -0/+10He's the 90s version of Kanye West. Every generation needs its douche bag.
- Thekillingjoke, on 11/26/2008, -5/+38Dr pepper is an evil empire designed to enslave us all with sugar and deliciousness, Axel you certainly are the hero we need.
- IllBeBack, on 11/27/2008, -0/+4I wish it was pure cane sugar but it's only that pathetic high fructose corn syrup ***** subsidized by the government.
- TheCollective00, on 11/27/2008, -0/+4I've had Dr. Pepper made with pure cane sugar and it is 100x more delicious than the normal variety.
- verevi, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2Too bad you have to go near Waco, Texas to get it.
- TheCollective00, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5I lived in Waco TX once, but they burned down my house ;_;
- GuacamoleSan, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3But not the hero we deserve.

- trotskyist, on 11/27/2008, -2/+17Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper is the best thing to happen to the world since ever.
- lemur, on 11/27/2008, -0/+10It is peculiarly good, isn't it? It's way more delicious than the cherry/vanilla combos in the cola world.
- four6three, on 11/27/2008, -2/+8Dr. Pepper + Red Vines = CRAZY DELICIOUS
- trotskyist, on 11/27/2008, -1/+13It's Mr. Pibb, actually

- freqk, on 11/27/2008, -1/+7Dr. Pepper is the best drink ever.
Dugg for Dr. Pepper. - TheCollective00, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5You guys don't know Dr. Pepper until you've had pure cane sugar Dr. Pepper. A small deli here in Las Vegas used to sell it out of a fountain machine, but they stopped a few months back. WHHHHYYYYY???!!!!!!
- verevi, on 11/27/2008, -0/+4They stopped because Dr. Pepper made them stop. The cane-sugar Dr. Pepper is only allowed to be sold within 40 miles of Dublin, Texas.
- djalam, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2I actually have tried the Pure Sugar Cane and I gotta say its da best thing when fresh, with that said I am still a fan of Dr.Pepper also.
- trotskyist, on 11/27/2008, -2/+17Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper is the best thing to happen to the world since ever.
- grilledcheese80, on 11/26/2008, -25/+5Cool - dr, pepper sucks anyways !

- AlucardZero, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1Poseur.
- Xihix, on 11/27/2008, -0/+110This leads to believe the only reason they actually finally released the album was so fans would get a free Dr. Pepper.
- Zeigy, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3Good point!
- themastersb, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2According to Dr. Pepper there are no Canadian fans.

http://digg.com/music/Dr_Pepper_to_deliver_on_its_ ...- pandorazboxx, on 11/27/2008, -0/+22i tried to do that, but it was stuck forever and never gave me my coupon :(
- Sinnocent, on 11/27/2008, -0/+18Same here. The site was borked ALL DAY. Impossible to claim your free coupon. What a sham.
- isntreal, on 11/27/2008, -2/+3i got one. and also one for all of my friends
- charm803, on 11/27/2008, -2/+5There was a number widely available. I called and got my free coupon.
- asgardshill, on 11/27/2008, -1/+2I got my coupon with no problem. The web site was working fine.
- MavRevMatt, on 11/27/2008, -1/+7I got mine, and so did a friend. My dad also called their phone number after the extension to the offer ended and they still gave him one 'cause he kept bitching.
It was still a failure since they were down for the majority of 36 hours. - Firespray1138, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3I filled out my address and all that to get the coupon but I never actually saw the page load, tried it again and it said I already requested a coupon so I can't even be sure if I'm going to get one or not.
- pandorazboxx, on 11/27/2008, -0/+22i tried to do that, but it was stuck forever and never gave me my coupon :(
- Stomper622, on 11/27/2008, -13/+9Dr Pepper did not fail as noted above.
- Barackalypse, on 11/27/2008, -1/+8Had you read the article, you would have found out that the site was crushed under the load and unavailable. Its roughly akin to offering free ice cream to the entire city of Chicago and having only 1 guy scooping.
- meiran, on 12/01/2008, -0/+1They also had several different instructions for what to do when the site crashed. They knew it would crash, and accounted for it.

- MidnightRIder77, on 11/27/2008, -0/+30I'm pretty pissed about this as well. I could never get the website or phone line to work. Dr. Pepper is far from following through on it's promised whenever a large percentage of people wanting a free Dr. Pepper can't get one.
- Headinawheel, on 11/27/2008, -4/+33Of course, only a lawyer would sue somebody because of positive publicity on a music album.
Next: Their lawyer sues Dr. Pepper over their lack of sales because it's "Obvious" that the "Coupon Fiasco" killed their album sales!
/sigh- Billistic, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5Maybe that's why they're suing? More publicity for all?
- SparklingWiggle, on 11/27/2008, -8/+91Dr. Pepper responded by saying: "The album still sucks".
- vectorlord, on 11/27/2008, -2/+16The Chinese called Dr. Pepper and said "Democracy will never be released."
- Zeigy, on 11/27/2008, -3/+3I see what you did there.
- vectorlord, on 11/27/2008, -2/+16The Chinese called Dr. Pepper and said "Democracy will never be released."
- SirNoobius, on 11/27/2008, -8/+1I couldn't get on the website either except i dont like dr peper
- OGKHAX, on 11/27/2008, -0/+9Good story.
- onyxricsina, on 11/27/2008, -8/+5If there was ever a case for encouraging piracy, this douchetard has-been has just given it.
- mrshare, on 11/27/2008, -2/+27This reads like an Onion article.
- ashfish, on 11/27/2008, -3/+16Wait wait wait, so they didn't think to start this law suit until after they had finished the CD, which by that time Dr. Pepper had made it abundantly clear that this was what they were going to do. Why wait this long to file it? Why not start a stink when you first heard about it? Oh that's right, because it gave free advertising to a band that no one has heard hide nor hair of in YEARS. Bunch of douchebags.
- tech42er, on 11/27/2008, -1/+10The issue is apparently not just that Dr. Pepper held the promotion, but that they ***** it up so badly.
- dogstylee, on 11/27/2008, -1/+11Just like every website that gets cripped under the Digg Effect or gets Slashdotted "***** it up so badly" huh.
'Anyone that wants to claim a free soda come to our website', so you clampets stampede there by the million then whine when you overload it. - duke, on 11/27/2008, -0/+4No, ashfish is right . . . it's because they're douchebags.

- pantoneGhost, on 11/27/2008, -1/+6l response to a email i sent them weeks ago.

- austenw, on 11/27/2008, -3/+13QQ more Axl Rose. You haven't produced anything worth listening to in YEARS. At least you got a little extra attention with this.
- mortalwind, on 11/27/2008, -3/+8This confirms are worst fears about Axl Rose. No good deed goes unpunished. This juat make me not want to hear a single track of his bloated ***** album.
- Aryding, on 11/27/2008, -2/+11***** Chinese Democracy, I want my damn DR. PEPPER!
- cuppyCake, on 11/27/2008, -0/+31'Blasts' is one of those headline verbs I hate. Really, the lawyer criticized them. He didn't vaporize them with high explosives. CNN is the worst offender -- everyone blasts everyone else according to CNN (sounds dirty).
- DeathJux, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3Conversely, it's one of those headline verbs that I love, because it's so over-the-top and ridiculous that it makes the stupidest quibble seem like global thermonuclear war.
- tmyprod, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5Porn has ruined my brain so that I can't take the word "blasts" seriously in a non-pornographic context.
- PrinceCaspianX, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5I tried the site, twice, on different days. It failed to load, and I never did get that coupon. It might not have been intentional that their site when down, but I'm sure they aren't unhappy about all the Dr. Pepper they didn't have to give out.
- JK1150, on 11/27/2008, -12/+2what a bunch of idiots. free promotion for their album at coca cola's expense and they sue. i hope no one buys this...
- krd1979, on 11/27/2008, -1/+9FYI Dr. Pepper is not owned by Coca-Cola. It's owned by Dr. Pepper/Snapple.
- imacmike, on 11/27/2008, -2/+16So if a company makes bad (but completely true) press about your client, you draw more attention to it by threatening them publicly? That sounds like a winning strategy.
I'd rather live in a world without Guns 'N roses than live in a world without Dr. Pepper. - Rowan187, on 11/27/2008, -5/+9I actually liked Chinese Democracy... and Dr. Pepper... so win/win for me.
- rheaume, on 11/27/2008, -0/+6But.. but.. the internet told you to hate it years ago! Why didn't you listen like all these other tards?
- tumbler360, on 11/27/2008, -9/+6The Dr Pepper "promotion" was pathetic. Wait 4-6 weeks for a coupon to get a 20oz soda? What a bunch of chinsy motha @#$@#%ers. I drink Dr Pepper all the time and they can't possibly afford to give some away for free? Get a kiosk at music stores and all over, even if only in new york with camera's watching, that is too much trouble?
Cheap, pathetic, mother @#@%@#%ers.- dreicher, on 11/27/2008, -1/+11Put the soda down and s-l-o-w-l-y back away, please.
- Herc, on 11/27/2008, -0/+4How you haven't been hired yet by their PR department I don't know.
- WookieSuave, on 11/27/2008, -3/+4....... They're giving away free soda you ***** muppet. That makes them not cheap.
- chiefbandit2200, on 11/27/2008, -1/+2Except they had a "one day only!!" giveaway, and put the promotion on really ***** servers with no backup, so hardly anybody actually got any free Dr. Pepper.
- Jforsyth89, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3What a tragedy. God forbid you not receive your $1.50 bottle of soda.
- mmittimm, on 11/27/2008, -4/+15***** ingrates... There's probably been more hype due to this promotion than the actual album release. They should be thanking Dr. Pepper.
- Valyn, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2No probably about it.
- pencilneck, on 11/27/2008, -1/+2And to think some people have the nerve to blame lawyers for destroying this country. Sure, Dr Pepper got some hype out of the deal by trying to do this.... but so did Guns & Roses. I was looking foreword to a free soda, don't give the a ***** about the album.... I'm more of a Naked Raygun or Monster Magnet kind of guy.
- Sinnocent, on 11/27/2008, -2/+10Couldn't even get their site to work 90% of the time the "promotion" was happening. Never could log in and receive the coupon. Seemed like a sham... and a shame.
- digitallysick, on 11/27/2008, -3/+9Dr Pepper probably heard the new album realized it was *****, and stopped the offer. I can't blame them
- Games4Life, on 11/27/2008, -5/+17Dr. Pepper > Chinese Democracy

- physicsman69, on 11/27/2008, -6/+6So wait, Dr. Pepper promises us all a free drink, reneges on that promise, and we're getting mad at Guns & Roses?
w..t...f?- rheaume, on 11/27/2008, -2/+2The internet told them to hate the album before they heard it
- ZZOTH, on 11/27/2008, -2/+27In related news, Dr. Pepper has offered to give every american a free soda if Metallica promises to NOT release their next album.
- Pyroteq, on 11/27/2008, -4/+2You realise Metallica's latest album displays more talent than 95% of albums released this year, right?
I'm pretty sure I'd rather take Death Magnetic over the top 40 *****.- DijitalJB, on 11/27/2008, -1/+3The tracks and albums entering the top 40 represent much less than 95% of the albums released this year. How many of the albums this year have you listened to? Or do you just listen to big name bands?
- mcool119, on 11/27/2008, -2/+1Death Magnetic is a great album. Idiot.
- ZZOTH, on 11/27/2008, -1/+2yeah, FOR ME TO POOP ON!
- Pyroteq, on 11/27/2008, -4/+2You realise Metallica's latest album displays more talent than 95% of albums released this year, right?
- Chirp08, on 11/27/2008, -1/+8Axl Rose != Guns N' Roses
- Azlen, on 11/27/2008, -6/+1I was able to sign up for a coupon, so shut up Axl.
- Zotde75, on 11/27/2008, -1/+7Um, did you guys try to get your Dr. Pepper? I for one couldn't get it. I mean, yeah, it's really stupid that Axl's lawyer is suing but...I want my goddamn dr. pepper.
- Nairebis, on 11/27/2008, -4/+1Anyone who is up in arms over not getting a fifty cent can of soda for free is a complete loser. Open up your couch and find fifty crummy cents.
- chiefbandit2200, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3Where can you get a 20 oz soda for fifty cents?
- duke, on 11/27/2008, -1/+4FTA: 'He is also seeking an "appropriate payment... for the unauthorized use and abuse of their publicity and intellectual property rights,"'
I'll send him appropriate payment, but I'd have to spend about 20X that amount on the stamp!- Herc, on 11/27/2008, -2/+0Why, are you sending it to him in gold bullion?
- duke, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5Shoot, what I planned to send him wouldn't buy CHICKEN boullion!
- Herc, on 11/27/2008, -2/+0Why, are you sending it to him in gold bullion?
- hedgiemaster, on 11/27/2008, -1/+3they did extend the offer.
I was able to get my coupon at 2am the next day. - sychodelix, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2I had no problem getting through the site, although it was very laggy. Then again, I signed up for it in the middle of the night.
- WookieSuave, on 11/27/2008, -3/+2"Guns N' Roses' and Axl Rose's lawyer has castigated Dr Pepper, accusing the soda maker of failing to deliver on its "Chinese Democracy" (Black Frog/Geffen) free soda promotion, which the band was never involved in."
Wait...... HOLD UP. G N' R's lawyer is spouting off statments like the one above as well as accusing Dr. Pepper of:
"operating an online redemption scheme that was an "unmitigated disaster which defrauded customers." "
This is coming from representation of a band who JUST released an album that started recording in 1994! Give your ***** heads a shake! - Gareth321, on 11/27/2008, -5/+1I felt really indifferent about Guns n Roses until I read this. Now I hate them.
- pimpofpixels, on 11/27/2008, -2/+2Another suitable title: "Guns and Roses lawyer seeks free publicity."
- BESTenemy, on 11/27/2008, -1/+3 For those unfamiliar with the promotion - it was a deal where individuals were to trade their personal information (submitted to Dr. Pepper) in exhcange for a small can of soda. Apparently, in today's world identity costs exactly that much - one small Dr. Pepper. Oh... and the concert promise was actually a replacement for their "If skies are blue tomorrow, trade in your name and address for a worthless can" promotion.
- Valyn, on 11/27/2008, -1/+1I would never have known about the new G&R album. Saw the Dr pepper thing on Digg, other blogs and even on the local Portland News. Nothing about Chinese Democracy except in relation to Dr Pepper. Or course, I don't watch MTV either. But since I used to love G&R, this was the only way i knew to go pirate the album long enough to realize it blows. Then I deleted it. After all, I did not want to get in trouble with the MPAA right?
- CoreyTamas, on 11/27/2008, -1/+21"You failed to deliver on a promised item when you said you would."
...that's a bold card for Guns N Roses to play.- alanr19, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2***** lolz!!! true enough.
- IllBeBack, on 11/27/2008, -1/+2What?! Lawyers trying to extend their clients' moment in the spotlight by employing a negative publicity campaign and lawsuit against the very company responsible for putting their weenie clients back into the spotlight for just a moment?!
I am so shocked. Shocked.- vermax, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1i think that post should be made into a musical
