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 former GN'R 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."
Commented Axl Rose in a statement: "We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr. Pepper with our album, 'Chinese Democracy', as for us this came totally out of the blue. If there is any involvement with this promotion by our record company or others, we are unaware of such at this time. And as some of Buckethead's performances are on our album, I'll share my Dr Pepper with him."
LOL LOL LOL

It is 8 AM, Toronto time, and 10 PM, Down Under.
A cheerful nurse takes a portable phone down the hallway and hands it to a patient who, just a few days ago, was in a medically induced coma following a head-on collision that left him trapped in the wreckage for almost two hours until he was finally extracted and airlifted to Melbourne.
Carl Dixon provides a visual. Half a world away, his voice comes across strong but strained. "Both legs in casts," he says, "but not suspended. Right hand broken, right eye badly damaged ... probably weeks before I can even try to get on my feet. Everything will eventually heal, except the eye, which I will probably lose.
"Other than that, I feel blessed."
Carl Dixon, lead singer in the post-Burton Cummings GUESS WHO, former front man for Toronto's CONEY HATCH, occasional touring player with APRIL WINE, solo artist, etc., is lucky to be alive, and with no internal injuries.
"The most amazing thing, beyond surviving what I cannot remember, is the outpouring of goodwill, love and affection since the accident," he says.
"It's been truly uplifting."
