Guns N’ Roses Demand Apology From Dr. Pepper Over Soda “Fiasco”
11/26/08, 3:15 pm EST
Guns N’ Roses are threatening Dr. Pepper with legal action over what the
band calls “a complete fiasco” of a publicity stunt. Dr. Pepper promised
every person in America a free can of soda if Guns N’ Roses released Chinese
Democracy this year; on November 23rd, the day Democracy was released, fans
were told they could get a coupon for a free can at its website. According
Axl Rose’s lawyer Alan S. Gutman, things went terribly wrong: Yesterday he
sent a letter to Dr. Pepper CEO Larry Young saying that the soda company’s
website crashed and that “the redemption scheme your company clumsily
implemented for this offer was an unmitigated disaster which defrauded
consumers and, in the eyes of vocal fans, ‘ruined’ the day of Chinese
Democracy’s release”. The band is seeking a public apology via ads in
newspapers, plus more time for people to claim their free soda and monetary
damages. In the words of the letter: “Now it’s time to clean up the mess.”
The letter continues, “As we all now know, Dr. Pepper created an expansive
and highly-publicized advertising campaign based solely on the exploitation
of my cleints’ legendary reputation. In and of itself this campaign brazenly
violated our clients’ rights in numerous respects. Unfortunately, Dr. Pepper
has now magnified the damage this campaign has caused through its appalling
failure to make good on a promise it made to the American public.”
Other highlights from the letter: “Our clients are outrated at your
treatment of their fans and the American public in general. After it became
clear that Chinese Democracy would be released in 2008, Dr. Pepper executive
Tony Jacobs proudly proclaimed that Dr. Pepper would make good on its promise
to give a free soda to everyone in America. It turned out that Dr. Pepper did
not define ‘everyone in America’ the same way as ‘everyone in America’
defined ‘everyone in America.’” It concludes, “Had you wished to engage
in a commercial tie-in with our clients, you should have negotiated a
legitimate arrangement instead of hijacking their rights without payment.
Rest assured, this misappropriation will not be free.”
