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”.
