As per Fernando on HTGTH, GNR had nothing to do with the DP idea, that DP did this all on their own.
Believe it or don't believe it. I tend to believe it.
I don't. Someone somewhere had prior knowledge... Or at least, would have had prior knowledge before this officially came from Dr Pepper. They can't just use the Guns N' Roses name to promote the product without consent. A competent legal team would never let them do that, anyway.
And this all happens a day before we get confirmation from the band that they have new management. Things are looking up.

This is a step in the right direction... Holy smokes, maybe this is for real!

If Axl and/or Izzy is not on stage, that song should never be performed.
Agreed. Well, we don't need Axl, but it's an Izzy song, inside and out.
#524 Re: The Garden » Funny Suburb Names » 971 weeks ago
There are a lot of funny town names in Newfoundland... Here are some of my favourites:
Dildo. Yes the place actually exists. I have family there, and it's where my Mom was raised... What's funnier?
The fact that a neighbouring community is called Spread Eagle. I don't know who names communities after sex toys and positions, but obviously we had some perverts settle here a number of years ago.
Then we get to Come By Chance. Yes, another one I'm familiar with. I grew up in Sunnyside, next to Come By Chance... So people can Come By Chance if they use a Dildo, but only if they're Spread Eagle.
And Pecker's Point... I think that's in Conception Bay. Don't forget about Woody's Point or Cox's Cove. Of course there's Baytona, which believe it or not, used to be named Gay Head until they decided to change it.
We have a number of places with French names, like Bay D'Espoir, pronounced Bay Despair, which, since the cod fish have gone, has been nothing but.
Then we have weird names altogether, like Tickle Cove, Blow-me-Down, Cow Head, Nameless Cove, the list goes on...

whats with the fluffy shoulderpad thingies?
is that like a habs playoff ritual or something?
I know, it's the cheesiest thing ever. That's part of the hood. There's the gown, and then they put this thing down over your shoulders. When you graduate or convocate, they "hood" you. Kinda like a reverse-circumcision.

Just so there's no more confusion, Dr Pepper (Schweppes-Cadbury) IS NOT owned by Pepsi. It's an unaffiliated and independent company that may be bottled and distributed by Pepsi in some areas.

I don't think it's a bad pic at all but what, may I ask, is convocation?
Thanks. I think I look angry or something though.
A convocation is what we call a graduation ceremony for university students. I'm not sure why, but that's what we call it around here. Stupid Newfies, I know. 
#528 Re: Guns N' Roses » DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE! » 971 weeks ago
why not use the drink Pepsi instead of Dr Pepper (it's more internationally recognised).
Easy... Dr Pepper tastes better and Axl didn't want to set his cornrows on fire.

as i highly doubt, that this is all made up and axl knew about it beforehand, it was dr. peppers` idea, not gnr`s. so why being concerned about gnr selling out?
I wonder if there are any "anti-GNR" Dr Pepper fans who are blaming the soft drink company for selling out... 
#530 Re: Guns N' Roses » DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE! » 971 weeks ago
I agree with you all. At this point, whatever it takes. But, I seem to remember a t-shirt from the Gnr camp in 2001-2002 that said "Freedom through musical INTEGRITY"!:haha:
Dr Pepper empathizes with Axl's artistic integrity. This is like a match made in heaven.
It all seems like an odd, but potentially effective publicity stunt.
Dr. Pepper says they understand Rose's artistic integrity due to their own struggle to create their soft drink.
