For anyone who wants to get their free Dr. Pepper, you have to go to their website (drpepper.com) TODAY , the 23rd, in order to sign up and get the coupon. The coupon is then only good until Feb 28th.
Because knowing is half the battle and the more you know the more you grow.

Use Your Illusions was pretty good rock albums. Back in 1991 I was 12 years old, Metallica was way more hot for me at that time. More heavy, more agressive and more.... heavy. Also, their song played in Terminator II was hot.
Guns N Roses is associated to another time, It just can't work anymore. Old bands should learn to stop making new albums.

You know, I gotta hand it to Axl. He got tired of pissing off americans and decided to piss off the largest creditor nation on the planet. Now I want to see him get into a fistfight with the Chinese premier...
"New Tang Dynasty Television has posted a one-and-a-half-minute video report on the alleged ban of the new GUNS N' ROSES album, "Chinese Democracy", in China. Watch the clip below.
Although rampant piracy will probably come into play, the album's content is not exactly music to the ears of the Chinese communist regime.
In the title track, singer Axl Rose says followers of the persecuted Falun Gong spiritual movement have "seen the end and you can't hold on now."
According to Reuters, the artwork includes Beijing artist Shi Lifeng's 2008 oil painting Red Star, which depicts the powerlessness of Chinese people in a state ruled by an iron fist. Photos of the Chinese military and the Hong Kong skyline also appear.
Commented Freddy Lim, leader of the Taiwanese black metal band CHTHONIC: "I think GUNS N' ROSES' new album shows the true rock spirit of the rock artist, of the rock culture, because we have to speak out loud our beliefs and our faith. If we believe in democracy, we believe in freedom, we should just speak out loud. GUNS N' ROSES has made a perfect example."

HAHAHA!! Total FAIL...
"Keith Caulfield of Reuters/Billboard reports: [GUNS' N' ROSES long-awaited album] "Chinese Democracy" sold a modest 261,000 copies [in the United States in its first week of release]. The tally paled against those of the band's last studio efforts, "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II", which debuted at Nos. 2 and 1, respectively, with sales of 685,000 and 770,000 after being released on the same day in 1991.
Best Buy Senior Entertainment Officer Gary Arnold had predicted "Chinese Democracy" would be the week's top seller, but it ended up being bested by KANYE WEST's new release "808s & Heartbreak" with 450,000 copies and country star TAYLOR SWIFT's former champ "Fearless" with 267,000."

I'd like to see Kanye and Axl fight it out live on MTV in a total man vs. man no-holds-barred smackdown!
The two biggest bitches in music fight it out!

sad. the only reason he released the album is because he was running out of money. I predict this ends badly... rose isn't the most level headed guy - and I can't see him changing his lifestyle.
Though, I read somewhere that he's got enough material in the vault for another 2 or 3 albums. If anybody's listening by then.
- locustsloth0
Maybe he's got a long term (REALLY long term) plan. Maybe he put out this album of so-so stuff (general consensus, not my personal opinion) as a benchmark. THen he can take his 2-3 albums of additional material, re-write it with the original band members and you have your self a "phoenix rising from the ash" story and it sells like hot cakes

Just listening to chinese democracy.
I'm so glad Bumblefoot (an insane guitarist) is playing on it, there's an insane solo on a track called Shackler's Revenge. Glad he's finally gonna have the big audience he deserves- buckethead or bumblefoot..which lack of soul guy are you talking aboutTheBIueOne

Digging this up. I finally got the album and I have to say I really like it. It's not Appetite or Illusions, and no, it's not as good as those, but better actually than I expected.
As for the numbers, who was the retard that signed an exclusive deal with Best Buy! Holy shit that probably hurt them.
I wish more bands had a unique sound like this. It seems everything sounds the same right now (on the radio I mean) and this is something new. Certainly not for everyone, but I'm digging it. Hopefully I'll see something else from them soon! After 14 years Axl has to have more songs.... (perhaps)
