Well, it didn’t take long for Axl Rose and the new Guns N’ Roses to pick up on the Dr. Pepper offer. Axl Rose wrote about it on the bands “new” official website.

Although Buckethead is no longer in the band, his recordings on the album are still on there, Axl replied back he’ll share his free drink of Dr. Pepper with Buckethead.

But again, he still says nothing about a “release date” and no word about the future of “Chinese Democracy”.

Since Axl seems very happy about the Dr. Pepper offer, maybe he will actually release the album this year.

Lets keep our fingers crossed!
