Guns N' Roses Tickets-Dr Pepper Offers a Rebuttal to Guns N' Roses

The Dr Pepper-Guns N' Roses saga continues! The famous rock band has been bad-mouthing the soda company after it failed to live up to its promise to give out free Dr Peppers on its website if GNR's Chinese Democracy was released this year, and now Dr Pepper has responded to the band saying, "We are disappointed that Gn'R's lawyers are turning a fun giveaway into a legal dispute." The Dr Pepper Snapple group claims that GNR's own Axl Rose and his management company approached the soda makers prior to the campaign, sharing promotional plans for Chinese Democracy, and not the other way around. According to http://RollingStone.com, the statement reads: "We simply commented on the delayed release of Chinese Democracy and openly encouraged the band to release it before the end of the year. Axl even expressed support for our efforts earlier in the year." Dr Pepper's site experienced difficulties during the supposed free giveaway, but the company has since taken steps to ensure those fans who had difficulty obtaining their coupon for free soda will be drinking a cold Dr Pepper soon by adding a toll-free phone number, extending the deadline and offering free coupons well beyond the release date. The Dr Pepper Snapple group failed to formally apologize to the band, as GNR requested, but did say, "This was one of the largest responses we have ever received for a giveaway, and we're happy we were able to satisfy the thirst of so many Dr Pepper fans. We wish Guns N' Roses the best with their album." It appears as if the matter is settled for now, although GNR doesn't need help selling records!

Axl, Slash, Izzy Stadlin, Steven Adler and Duff McKagan signed with Geffen Records and released their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, in 1987. GNR's single "Sweet Child O' Mine" gained MTV play and "Welcome to the Jungle" solidified the band as a metal mainstay. Although GNR suffered internal issues, they remained popular well into the '90s thanks to hits like "Paradise City" and even managed to stay afloat during the emergence of grunge. Axl Rose left GNR in the late '90s as the rest of the band tried to fill his place fans wondered when they would hear more of their metal music. An album that would turn out to be Chinese Democracy was rumored to be in the works for several years, but it remained so much a mystery that in 2005 the New York Times dubbed the project "The Most Expensive Album Never Released." Luckily for fans, the Times can now eat their words ! because GNR came back together for the release of Chinese Democracy in 2008. Now that GNR is back in business, you can't miss your opportunity to see the band perform live! Get your Guns N' Roses tickets today!
