So where's my free Dr Pepper?

NEW YORK - More than a decade after its conception, Guns N’ Roses’ “Chinese Democracy” will finally see the light of day before year’s end, sources close to the situation told Billboard.

The set will be a Best Buy exclusive and will be available Sunday, Nov. 23, rather than the usual Tuesday.

In the run-up to release date, album track “Shackler’s Revenge” will debut in the video game “Rock Band 2,” while a portion of “If the World” is playing over the end credits in the new Leonardo DiCaprio/Russell Crowe film “Body of Lies.”

In addition, GNR’s seminal 1987 full-length debut, “Appetite for Destruction,” will be reissued on vinyl on October 28 via Interscope.

The band’s last new studio albums were the simultaneously released “Use Your Illusion I” and “Use Your Illusion II” in September 1991. A covers set, “The Spaghetti Incident?,” followed in 1993, and featured some of the last GNR recordings from original guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan.

This spring, soft drink manufacturer Dr Pepper offered to send a free can of the beverage to “everyone in America” (excluding ex-GNR members Slash and Buckethead) if “Chinese Democracy” were to arrive anytime during the calendar year 2008. A Dr Pepper spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.

299,999,999 would be more correct.

Remind me not to hire you as my accountant. You just shaved off 297 million.

Diet Dr pepper taste more like regular DR Pepper. It's one of the Diet Sodas that's actually pretty good.
