#2361 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 899 weeks ago
Doesn't mean anything one way or the other in my opinion. We all know that even IF C.D. were to come out this year it would be LATE this year. Robin will probably see how NIN is looking and if GNR is looking better that's where he'll be...if Axl is still fucking around for a release "soon" a few months into the tour and Trent wants to record new material (he's very prolific) Robin will very likely say "bon voyage".
atleast one person gets it.
the album is done. axl doesn't need robin right now and he won't until gnr tours again which would be late '08 at the earliest. if he is still on tour with NIN axl willget him back or replace him if he has to. this will not effect the release of the album.

In the meantime I'll just sit back.
Good plan.
As for me, I believe my contact when she says Uni didn't know anything about it.
Not sure I believe anyone associate with GNR when they say they didn't.
Like you said, we'll have to wait and see.
but does your contact know everything that goes on at universal?

agreed.
not likely they would risk a lawsuit and a tainted campaign due to that lawsuit even if they thought they could win it.

So is that where it's at right now?? It is going to be a campaign but DR P hasn't released it yet. I wonder how hig it will be. Will kinda suck if I'm watching TV & I see a commercial saying "If Chinese Democracy doesn't come out, you'll get a free can of soda". Hopefully due to the weblogs over it, they revise it & make it more of a viral, grassroots campaign. Maybe put something on youtube.
BTW, slightly off topic, how many emails did you guys get from friends about this?! I got 5. 5 different emails from firends, not all replying to each other, but different people who heard it on the radio, on the web, even msnbc.com. So I guess I'm the defacto GnR authority among my friends. Also, I think one of my friends visits a site. He saw it pretty quick after it was posted on the forums.
or how about this:
in the commercial axl will be sharing his dr pepper with buckethead and the narrator will say"hey axl, wanna share your dr pepper with the rest of us? upon release of the long awaited chinese democracy by guns n roses, dr pepper will provide everyone in america with free soda. that's right, free soda. so stay tuned for brand new music from guns n roses and free dr pepper.

It's kinda like saying "if Hilary Clinton gets into government then we will give out a free Dr Pepper'. Personally I can't see anything wrong with that (although you may disagree with the politics of the individual, but that's a personal opinion not a legal matter). Whilst I admit I am not up on the intracies of the law on this type of thing (so I stand to be corrected) but I'm just struggling to see the basis for a law suit.
Guns N Roses is a registered trademark. Therefore, you cannot use the term without consent. BS is right about freedom of the press. But as for your Hillary analogy, could Dr Pepper say "We'll giva away a free soda if LeBron James wins the Championship" or if "Sidney Crosby gets to the Stanley Cup" No. Why?? You have to pay millions of dollars to use those guys names in advertising. Same thing with sponsoring a movie.
Believe me, it was worked out in advance. Maybe GnR or the label wasn't directly paid $$, but approval was given.
But, before Axl knew about it, it was only mentioned it on these forums and sent to the press, it's not on any of their products nor on their website...yet. So they aren't advertising their product in this challenge in commercials or ads or anything of a professional promotional way, they mentioned it and now Axl knows thus I am sure they are getting permission to do the above. If GNR knew ahead of time and gave consent, you'd see this on TV, in promotions ads, on their website, on the product itself none of which had been done yet.
we will.
when the campaign officially beings. this is a leaked promotion plan, whether it is intentional by dr pepper or not.
#2370 Re: Guns N' Roses » DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE! » 900 weeks ago
all evidence points to saying they didn't know....for God sake, Axl isn't going to lie about everything....:rolleyes:
no it doesn't. in fact, the opposite is true. several persons across the forums have claimed to have called dr pepper and gotten confirmation by phone and e-amil that it is a collaberation and posted about it. the evidence that it is a collaberation holds more weight than the evidence that it isn't for this reason: there are several reasons for dr pepper people to lie or simply not know about it by denying the relationship exists and there are zero reasons for them to make it up.
the info we have right now is a leak of a promotional campaign. certain people at dr pepper either do not know about it yet because they haven't been trained and/or informed yet since it is not time OR they have been instructed to deny it until the campaign is officially underway.
