News Ticker: Guns N’ Roses, Warped Tour, Richie Sambora, Fall Out Boy

3/26/08, 3:18 pm EST

  • While we all wait endlessly for Axl Rose to release the long-delayed Chinese Democracy, the makers of Dr. Pepper are being proactive. The soft drink announced they will provide a free can of the soda to everyone in the U.S. if the album drops this year. “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 [quest] for the perfect album,” said a Dr. Pepper spokesperson.
  • Paramore, Gym Class Heroes, Against Me!, Cobra Starship and others will headline this year’s Warped tour. The forty-six date tour will kick off in Los Angeles on June 20th.
  • Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora was arrested yesterday morning and charged with a DUI after allegedly driving drunk in Laguna Beach, California. Sambora previously spent two stints in rehab in 2007.
  • The risks of playing concerts in Antarctica: After “bad weather” postponed Fall Out Boy’s trip to the South Pole, the band’s “runway” — a part of the Wilkins Ice Shelf — collapsed into the sea. The band remains in Chile until conditions improves.

Axl,

“There’s no such thing as perfection in rock and roll.”
–Don Henley

I agree. It’s time to let go of it, and let the fans decide. Not everyone’s going to like it no matter how good it is!

Ali, there is none, it’s a hoax

From what’s been leaked so far it’s very, very far from perfect. At this rate it will be released in 2026 when Axl is pushing 60 and I’m betting he’ll still have those lame ass corn brades. Who knows maybe it will be a masterpiece and I’ll have to eat my words.

Dude, who the fuck takes advice from Don Henley?

If this story is a hoax, that’s too bad. As much as I hate advertising and marketing, I would have to hand it to Dr. Pepper on this one. That’s pretty f’ing clever.

That’s hilarious.

I want my Chinese Democracy and Caffeine Free Diet Wild Cherry Dr. Pepper!

Everyone will get a free Dr.Pepper except for Slash and Buckethead….

You’re just bitter because I told you you’d turn out to be nothing and I was right!

Don Henley | 3/27/2008, 6:07 pm EST

“Hunter” has absolutely rejuvinated the planet with his genius, giving every human being the hope for a better tomorrow!
