It’s taken Axl Rose so long to get off his arse and release Guns ‘N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy that it was only a matter of time that someone sought medical help. Enter…Dr. Pepper. According to the New York Post, if Axl ships the album in 2008, everyone in America - except estranged guitarists Slash and Buckethead - will receive a free can of Dr. Pepper. “It took a little patience for us to perfect Dr Pepper’s special mix of 23 ingredients, so we completely understand and empathize with Axl’s question for the perfect album,” said a company spokesperson. UPDATE: According to Rolling Stone, Axl has responded to Dr. Pepper’s offer. In a press release, Rose says, “We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr. Pepper with our album Chinese Democracy, as for us, this came totally out of the blue. If there is any involvement with this promotion by our record company or others, we are unaware of such at this time. And as some of Buckethead’s performances are on our album, I’ll share my Dr. Pepper with him.”

Not even the second coming of Christ is going to get that album released. I remember when Tommy Stinson’s last album with his band Perfect came out a few years back…on his blog he was assuring people that the album would be coming out then, guaranteed. Does anyone even care after this point? I mean even perverse curiosity couldn’t win out with it after this long.
