It’s been more than 13 years since Axl Rose essentially hit the reset button on Guns n’ Roses and began recording Chinese Democracy. However, despite the leaks, revised lineups, and touring, the album has still yet to see the light of day. And apparently, one soda company can’t take it anymore…

Dr Pepper is begging Axl Rose to finally release this year his 17-years-in-the-making album, “Chinese Democracy.” The soft drink company’s incentive to Axl, the frontman of Guns N’ Roses? If he ships the album in 2008, everyone in America – except estranged guitarists Slash and Buckethead – will receive a free can of Dr Pepper. “It took a little patience for us to perfect Dr Pepper’s special mix of 23 ingredients, so we completely understand and empathize with Axl’s question for the perfect album,” said a company spokesperson. Dr Pepper is asking fans to lobby Axl to drop the album already.
