Axl Rose of Guns N Roses has filed a lawsuit against Dr. Pepper for not fulfilling its promise. Dr Pepper announced that they will be giving away 20 ounce bottles to all Americans when Guns N Roses’ album ‘Chinese Democracy’ dropped.

Fans can visit the Dr Pepper website to get the free coupons for the soda but due to the people’s thirst for free stuff, the website crashed. The site could not handle the overwhelming surge in web traffic and was down most of the day. The Promotion was extended for another day. Dr Pepper also set up toll free lines to handle coupon requests as well as interactive voice recorders.

Axl’s attorney called the campaign “an exploitation of my clients’ legendary reputation and their eagerly awaited album”.

The former Blink 182 drummer and the famous celeb DJ will perform together at a New Year Eve’s bash in LA. This will be their first performance together since surviving the plance crash in South Carolina that killed 4 people.

“I’m ready to get back on stage with AM and continue to rock the house,” Barker said in a statement. “I’m very excited to bring in the New Year in my hometown of L.A.”

Earlier last month, Travis filed a lawsuit against the charter company because of the accident.

The event will be streamed live in HD by New Years Nation online broadcast.
