PLANO, Texas, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Tired of a world in which Americans idolize wannabe singers and musicals about high schoolers pass as rock 'n roll music, Dr Pepper is encouraging (ok, begging) Axl Rose to finally release his 17-year-in-the-making belabored masterpiece, Chinese Democracy, in 2008.

In an unprecedented show of solidarity with Axl, everyone in America, except estranged GNR guitarists Slash and Buckethead, will receive a free can of Dr Pepper if the album ships some time -- anytime! -- in 2008. Dr Pepper supports Axl, and fully understands that sometimes you have to make it through the jungle before you get it right.

"It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper's special mix of 23 ingredients, which our fans have come to know and love," said Jaxie Alt, director of marketing for Dr Pepper. "So we completely understand and empathize with Axl's quest for perfection -- for something more than the average album. We know once it's released, people will refer to it as "Dr Pepper for the ears" because it will be such a refreshing blend of rich, bold sounds -- an instant classic."

Show your support for Axl and get on the nightrain of encouragement at Chinese Democracy When? -

I am assuming they already know the outcome of the Album release??? I mean aren't those things planned?

[Chefnot]

I tried Dr. Pepper....once.

[MayQueen]

One sip was enough for me. Someone else can have my can.

[BerryBaby]

It's loaded with caffeine. Wasn't it originally created to cure stomach upsets?

[Food Network Fan]

I think it tastes like Cherry flavoring. I have never liked anything cherry flavored. When I was a kid they made every medicine cherry flavored and it ruined me on the taste.

well, must be a thing for the south, now we have caffine free diet Dr. Pepper, I happen to enjoy, like ginger ale, I also enjoy that every now and then. When I moved here I asked for a bottle of vernors they go whats that ? so I think alot has to be regionals likes and dislikes and of course shipping issues.

[BerryBaby]

We have Vernors in the PNW...don't they also make Green River? I love Green River flavored soda.
