Guns N’ Roses Return To Radio With “Chinese Democracy”

[Josh]

Radio listeners were rewarded for their years of patience this morning when rock stations across the country added Guns N’ Roses’ official new single “Chinese Democracy” to their playlists. The track marks the first time a Chinese Democracy track has been officially released to radio after a string of leaked versions have crept into the rotations in years past. As promised, Axl Rose announces his return with a scream before the full guitar assault shows up. The song is comparable to the leaked versions that have emerged, but even on an Internet stream the sound quality is clearly superior. So was it worth the wait?  Go to the below link to judge for yourself.

for those who have listened, what do you think of the track?  not caring about your personal feelings of axle or gnr without slash and the boys......just curious about the take on their sound.

im not crazy about. But that's most likely do to the fact that i am a huge fan of 80's music, and most of their tunes from that era.

so not feeling it.. but then again i guess everyone has to evolve into something else, old skool fan of guns.

[Josh]

Guns N’ Roses Bring A Free Dr Pepper To All Americans:

Here’s How To Get Yours!

Published by Chris Harris on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 at 6:00 pm.
Now that the November 23 release date for Guns N’ Roses’ oft-delayed, more-than-a-decade-in-the-making album, Chinese Democracy, seems to be a reality, Dr Pepper owes every American a can of soda.

Back in March, the beverage company said that it would give every man, woman, and a child in the U.S. a free can of Dr. Pepper should Guns N’ Roses release Chinese Democracy before the close of 2008. And now, the event no one — certainly not the folks at Dr Pepper — thought would happen is rapidly approaching.

“We never thought this day would come,” Tony Jacobs, vice president of marketing for Dr Pepper, said in a statement issued Wednesday. “But now that it’s here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper’s on us.”

So, how does Dr Pepper plan on dispensing the free sodas? Well, on November 23 — and only on November 23 — thirsty Americans can log on to the official Dr Pepper Web site and register all of their vitals, so that the company can mail them a coupon for a free 20-ounce can of the drink. Once that coupon arrives in the mail, redeem it wherever Dr Pepper is sold. The last step in the process, according to the press release: “Drink your Dr Pepper slowly to experience all 23 flavors. Dr’s orders.”

As we said, registration for the free Dr Pepper coupons is available only for 24 hours, beginning at 12:01 a.m. ET on November 23, and the coupons will have an expiration date of February 28, 2009. Obviously, there is a coupon limit — one per person.

So get out your straws and chill those glasses, kids — the Dr will be in your fridge soon, all thanks to Mr. Axl Rose.
