To honor their promise, EVERY American (with a PC and printer) gets a free Dr. Pepper since Chinese Democracy was released.

Go to their website and get yours on Sunday.

Good for them to come through on their promise. I'll laugh if it doesn't come out.

I got the email letting me know that I can pick up my copy of Chinese Democracy at the local Best Buy tomorrow. I'm assuming that means that stock has been received.

Unfortunately, they're not offering a midnight pick-up, which seems rather offensive to this GNR fan who believes the magnitude of this event certainly warrants one.

A midnight pickup for a band that hasn't hit a hit record for over a decade that only has 20% of it's original lineup sounds like a waste of employee resources for the 10 people buying the album at that store at that time.

They haven't had a release in 15 years but their last original release (Use Your Illusions) offered midnight release, and this album certainly has had more hype behind it.

Negative hype due to it being promised forever.

Use Your Illusion was hyped due to it having a hit on the Terminator movie and a MTV video hit.

I doubt you will see this album grace the top 10, if it does, it won't be number 1 and be on the list for long.

I'll still be at work when the coupons start being available, so I'll go get one tonight when I get off of work.

It doesn't start until tomorrow, the magic is in the details.

I'm not a big 'Pepper fan, but I can see me supporting them a tad more if they follow through on this.

free pop is good – as long as I'm not obligated to buy this new Axl solo record

I am drinking a Dr. Pepper right now. Only because Mr. Pibb isn't sold in Canada.

Coke's version of the same thing. Tastes better IMO.

I just finished registering for mine. They're supposed to mail me a coupon for a free 20 oz in 4-6 weeks. Looks like they actually are going through with it.
