Lammycat Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I've heard one or two of these and was not impressed. If there's anything worth listening to, let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Szabo Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I've heard one or two of these and was not impressed. If there's anything worth listening to, let me know. It takes over a decade to make that shitty of an album huh, Axel sucks. Slash made GnR and everyone knows it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dennis Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 can anyone PM me a link to this. Just curious....I don't think that is the final album. I think it's demos and remastered live tracks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 that is is dennis. this is not an official leak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anodyne Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 this has been the most expensive album ever made and you guys are downloading it? for shame! the biggest question on my mind is how long will "chinese democracy" be a culturally relevant punchline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Dr Pepper Sweetens Pot For 'Chinese Democracy'Axl RoseMarch 26, 2008, 11:30 AM ETJonathan Cohen, N.Y. Many have tried, but so far nobody has been able to pry the decade-in-the-works Guns N' Roses album "Chinese Democracy" from the hands of lone remaining original member Axl Rose. Now, Dr. Pepper thinks it's up to the challenge. The soft drink company says it will give a free can of Dr Pepper to "everyone in America" (excluding ex-GNR members Slash and Buckethead) if "Chinese Democracy" arrives anytime during the calendar year 2008. "It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper's special mix of 23 ingredients, which our fans have come to know and love," Dr Pepper director of marketing Jaxie Alt says. "So we completely understand and empathize with Axl's quest for perfection -- for something more than the average album. We know once it's released, people will refer to it as 'Dr Pepper for the ears' because it will be such a refreshing blend of rich, bold sounds - an instant classic." Dr Pepper has also launched a blog in conjunction with its offer. GNR's label, Interscope, was unavailable for comment at deadline. "Chinese Democracy" was most recently scheduled for release on March 6, 2007, but promptly vanished from the schedule without a new date being set. It will be the first Guns N' Roses album since the 1993 covers collection "The Spaghetti Incident"; in the ensuing decade, the group has burned through a reported $13 million in recording expenses.

myboyblue Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I wonder if mine can be a Diet Dr. Pepper cherry vanilla. I love that stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 This should definitely put the pressure on Axl to finish and release the album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

remphish1 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Uhhh if this happens how much will this cost Dr Pepper? With 300,000,000 or so people in America and at five cents a can to produce (guestimate) that's approximatey $15,000,000?! PS I don't realy like Dr Pepper...Slash can have mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'm sure there will be some mind-bendingly difficult procedure such as filling out forms or writing your Congressman or something that only the true penny pinchers will cash in on. I haven't enjoyed Dr. Pepper for about 20 years now anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I find this wording to be overly optimistic: It will be the first Guns N' Roses album since the 1993 covers collection "The Spaghetti Incident"I think "would be" is the safer choice here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Before Bill Gates went all charitable and he was really unpopular for running a near-monopoly, my friend and I concluded that he could dramatically improve his standing by buying everyone in the world an apple fritter. Yeah. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't enjoyed Dr. Pepper for about 20 years now anyway.Even if they went with "every one who walks into their local supermarket on this particular date gets a free can", they still wouldn't give away all that many. And if it really happened, the publicity for something like that would have to be worth at leat $15mil to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 And if it really happened, the publicity for something like that would have to be worth at leat $15mil to them.Definitely. It's already been a good pub;icity move. kind of weird how a company can just attach itself to a commodity (GnR, here) without consent, though. Who the fuck cares, is my question. GnR has to be the most deplorable band in the known universe.Thanks for the great insight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IATTBYB Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Chinese Democracy is scheduled to be released at 12:01 a.m. on January 1, 2009. No Dr. Pepper for your, NEXT!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JUDE Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Who the fuck cares, is my question. GnR has to be the most deplorable band in the known universe. Not to start an Axl Rose/Ryan Adams/Jeff Tweedy/Van Gogh debate but Appetite for Destruction is a great fucking album. So I guess I care. Alot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Not to start an Axl Rose/Ryan Adams/Jeff Tweedy/Van Gogh debate but Appetite for Destruction is a great fucking album.I'm not a huge fan of that record, but I understand why many people think it's great. What I've never understood is all the praise for the Use Your Illusion albums. They could easily have condensed the best stuff from those into a single album, and even then it wouldn't have been all that great. Seriously overrated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
