G'N'R vs Dr P

[Dave]

The band, which released its first album in 17 years last week, has found itself in a legal tussle with soft drink giant Dr Pepper over a promotion turned awry.

So many GN'R fans -- and, no doubt, fans of free stuff in general -- tried to get the coupon that they choked the site and it crashed. Disgruntled and downright ticked off, some blamed the band.

"When you go on the blogs and you read the responses from the fans, they associated Axl with this promotion ... and blame him for the fact that they didn't get their free soda," said GN'R lawyer Laurie Soriano.

Axl can go away now. He's outlived his usefulness.

Mad at the band you like over a free pop?

I heard Axl is trying to reunite the appetite for destruction lineup.

Might happen, Chinese Democracy sales are low, and velvet revolver has been dropped by their label.

i'll bet he'd still be useful for live target testing.

Ask Slash, he hates the guy's guts. I recall him saying on VH1's behind the music that there wasn't enough cash in the world for him to work with Axl again.

maybe the tune has changed but not a lot of respect seems to be there for Axl.
