They Obviously Want A Free Bottle Of Dr. Pepper

I was in line at Best Buy yesterday waiting to pay for some dumb crap and I was browsing the new CDs they try to sell your ass before you get to the register. I noticed the new Guns N' Roses album, so I picked it up and said out loud, "I heard this was a piece of trash." The dude in front of me was holding the CD and gave me a look that made my toe nails fall off. It was a "I want to butt fuck you with a hot hammer" kind of look. I'm not fucking sorry that I hurt his feelings, because he had a long ass, curly ponytail with blonde highlights in it. I'm sorry, but you deserve to get your feelings hurt if you have one of those.

Anyway, that shit came out yesterday after 15-years in the making and China is not happy about it! One of the newspapers published by the Communist Party said the album is an attack on their nation. From what I've heard it's also an attack on ear drums. The article says that "unidentified Chinese Internet users had described the album as part of a plot by some in the West to grasp and control the world using democracy as a pawn." The article also said that the record "turns its spear point on China."

Obviously, they want a free bottle of Dr. Pepper. That shit will make them happy. A bottle of Dr. Pepper with a little bottle of Everclear. That shit is good.

And if you haven't registered for your free coupon to get a 20 oz. bottle of Dr. Pepper yet, you can do so until 6pm today here. And yes, I still bought the album even though I slagged it off! Well, I wanted my free shit of Dr. P!

I don't give a shit about GNR, but fuck China. If it wasn't for the US moving all of the factories to that shithole, they'd still be shitting IN holes - which they still do in MANY (if not MOST) so-called restrooms in China. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY8EUPZIwy8

Free Dr.Peppers were for everybody. You didnt have to listen or buy that shitty CD. All you had to do was register on the Dr.Pepper website. I gots me 3 free Dr.Peppers.

axl rose needs to get his ego in line, and hire duff slash izzy & steven again... guns n roses now is just axl and a karaoke band...
the new cd isnt good, axl is just using the fame from the 80's and 90's the entire group build up...
the original line up is the best...
and with AMA and guns n roses posted on the same day:

I listened to the album yesterday and it does suck. It is too "new" sounding...no resembelance of Guns N Roses at all if you ask me (which you didn't, but I digress). All that waiting for nothing...lol.

China needs to worry more about not poisoning people and animals then some lame, 10 years too late attempt at a come back.

It's a compilation of Axle Rose best screaming attempts with shitty guitars in the background.

WHAT! "Service Unavailable"?? Fuckers.

I bought the Bond Girl perfume from Avon a couple of days ago and a coupon for a free movie ticket to see Quantum of Solace was included. Yesterday I went to the website and guess-fucking-what... I keep getting an error so I can't print off the voucher. Emailed the customer service yesterday, haven't heard a peep.

Fucking goddamn marketing ploys.

EDIT: Let me add that I didn't buy the perfume just for the movie ticket.

I don't want a Dr. Pepper under any circumstances. I really don't want one if it means listening to this CD._____

I know what's with saving the $.75 right? What we'll do for freebies! I remember people clamoring for shitty thin t-shirts with obnoxious company logos on the front and they were all boxy, unfalttering old man t shirt style at my last company 'party'. I stood back in awe. I know no one would end up wearing them but they were FREE!!! ha ha. nuts!

Well now, my understanding it is used for a deficiency of Lithium in one's brain/body, I was told it is related to mental balance but I guess today it is called Bi Polar. IDK really and have no interest to look it all up.
I do know he is crazy via my friend and others.

the dr. pepper exec. didn't say u had to buy the cd to get the free dr. pepper. he said "if the cd comes out in 2008 i will give every poerson in america a free can of dr. pepper." wtfuckity??

awesome album cover!! i can't help but think that this is going to ultimately suck, though. Axl alone is NOT GnR. i'm pretty sure this "long awaited" release is going to fall flat on its face.

Yea, mix that with all the booze and other recreational drugs they all used to, it wasn't a pretty scene.
I am not criticizing Bi Polar people or having to take Lithium, if it's done responsibly, that wasn't the case for my friend.
******************************
That's part of the joys of being bipolar - you don't even need drugs or booze to be flying high! ;-)
But at least he had the lithium, if he was actually taking it was an entirely different story! Judging by almost all of the lyrics on Use Your Illusions 1&2 he was not.

Also - I am totally pissed that I can't get the Dr. Pepper in Canada.

It seems most of their shows were like that. I've been to many, many concerts, but never wanted to see them live, because of what you described.

If it weren't for Slash, Duff, and Izzy, Axl would be in the Tool Department at the Terra Haute Ace Hardware.

"While I do love the original GnR line up, it isn't the same.
Axl btw, takes Lithium, a friend from waaay back was groupie and saw it in his bathroom, she promptly left."

I agree that the original GnR line up was the best and there's no way they could ever get that back. I have listening to a couple of the new songs and thought they were pretty good.

Axl Rose is bipolar so he needs to take lithium. There's nothing wrong with that btw.

I saw GNR in Anaheim after Use Your Illusion 1&2 came out, they were about as hot a ticket as you could find...and already on the way down the tubes. They started late, ended early, and sucked in between. The capper was Axl saying "fuck this shit", dropping the mike and walking off stage three bars into "You Could Be Mine" during the encore. Skid Row was the opening act and blew GNR away.

If things couldn't get any worse, they ran out of booze at the show.

The best is my friend's bike. It's a big three-wheeler with a flat attached to the back and a couple summers ago we installed a cushy love seat on it! SO fun! We visit street festivals with the kids on it.

YAAAAAAAY! How you been my dear? I blew the most impressive booger today. I thought of you.

Angel i- Bike withha BASKET! Please tell me you blithely roll through town on sunday afternoons with a giant loaf of bread and wine? So perfect. It's part of my carefree imaginary life.. bike with a basket, giant sun hat and give a fuck glasses and happy synthesizer music following me on my carefree escapades haha. Christ I'm weird today. No really I like the basket. All I have is a banana seat (to keep my ass from hurting.. I'm a wimp like that)

Mrs. G - you gotta check out flickr.com. Some AMAZING photos on there. I have a digital camera and just got a manual (old school- film and all that) it's more of a challenge to take a shot, film can gets pricey but it makes you really think before taking a photo. Also it's cool to use the camera for effects rather than falling back on my photoshop crutch:) I like to see what people are doing and never cease to be amazed by the talent that is out there. Some people are just brilliant and inspire me to keep at it.

Axl Rose was a great frontman back in the 80's. That's when he'd eventually show up, and if nobody pissed him off to make him bail on the show early.
I consider him to be one of the all-time assholes of rock n roll. It took the Beatles a couple of months to record Sgt. Pepper's for chrissakes. How does it take that long to put together a hard rock album?

I was at Best Buy yesterday, too, and they had at least a MILLION copies of this on the shelf.

Someone tell China this was just GNR's way of making a literary example of the term Oxymoron.

Edited: holy crap, I am spelling fine today, just using the wrong words. I missed out of some sleep this weekend.
