Apparently Guns N' Roses have finally delivered their new album Chinese Democracy to their record label. Axl 'I have no friends' Rose has seemingly been working on the album for the past three hundred years, and to be honest I never thought it would see the light of day.
One party that's bound to be sweating at this news is the people over at Dr Pepper, who recently promised a free can of said beverage for every person in America (except Slash) if the album was actually released this year.
According to The Rock Radio.com the band are now haggling over money (understandable considering the album has so far cost over 10 million dollars), and contemplating an offer to broadcast a reality show to coincide with the release. The show would follow the album's recording & long gestation period. How fun.

For anybody who doesn't know, Chinese Democracy, the new (lets not say 'new' actully, lets say 'next') album from Guns N'Roses, has been slated for release since sometime in 1999. Its been rescheduled for every few months since then and there's still no sign of it.
Dr. Pepper however are so convinced that it won't be out by the end of the year that in a genuine bout of publicity stunt craziness they have promised every single person in the United States a free Dr Pepper if it does.
Personally I hope they do release it just for the fact that this rancid rancid drink will no doubt be put out of business by having to cater to the 300 Million+ citizens of the US for free. Please God please. Oh and I've heard the album and it ain't all that anyway. Which is a nice way of saying that as much as I want to like it, it sucks.
