You Can Almost Taste The Dr. Pepper

Well i just read on DrudgeReport that supposedly Guns N’ Roses is talking to 2 major retailers (namely Best Buy and WalMart) about releasing their 14-year-in-the-making (and $13,000,000) studio record “Chinese Democracy” exclusively at one of the stores worldwide. Reuters explains that these are more “concrete signs” that the album will in fact come out.

One can only hope that it comes out before December 31st so that we all get a free can of Dr. Pepper. Well, everyone except for Slash, that is. But Slash doesn’t quite care. And i’m with him, because i don’t quite care either. I mean, don’t get me wrong, i enjoy Dr. Pepper as much as the next guy. But do i give a rat’s ass about “Chinese Democracy”? The answer is no, not at all. I’ll rock out to “Welcome to the Jungle” every so often if it comes on the radio. But all in all, i just don’t give a shit about Guns N’ Roses. And quite frankly, it amazes me that people want to hear this new album so bad. Does everybody love Axl Rose that much? I mean last time we saw him was at, like, the 2002 VMA’s, as far as i can remember, right? And he didn’t really sound so great, in my opinion.

So, i say great… release the album… release it soon… but only because i want my free Dr. Pepper, not because i want to hear the damn thing. If anything, i hope it totally flops and/or doesn’t really measure up to everyone’s expectations of it so that Axl Rose can get over himself and just go away.

(side note: i do not mean to offend any GNR fans nor fans of Axl Rose. if you like the band, great, but can’t we just let it go and move on already? does anyone really care that much about Chinese Democracy? i mean, really??)
