I am very pleased to announce that Guns N’ Roses and I are now represented by the management team of Irving Azoff and Andy Gould. We are very excited and look forward to working with them and hope our relationship proves beneficial for everyone, especially the fans.

We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr. Pepper with our album Chinese Democracy as for us this came totally out of the blue. If there is any involvement with this promotion by our record company or others we are unaware of such at this time. And as some of Buckethead’s performances are on our album I’ll share my Dr. Pepper with him.

Axl Rose

Original press release from Dr Pepper is as follows:

Dr Pepper Will Give Everyone* in America a Free Soda If Axl Rose Releases New Guns N’ Roses Album, Chinese Democracy, In 2008
*Guitarists Slash and Buckethead Will Not Be Eligible For Free Soda

PRNewswire
PLANO, Texas
(NYSE:CSG)

PLANO, Texas, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Tired of a world in which Americans idolize wannabe singers and musicals about high schoolers pass as rock ’n roll music, Dr Pepper is encouraging (ok, begging) Axl Rose to finally release his 17-year-in-the-making belabored masterpiece, Chinese Democracy, in 2008.

In an unprecedented show of solidarity with Axl, everyone in America, except estranged GNR guitarists Slash and Buckethead, will receive a free can of Dr Pepper if the album ships some time -- anytime! -- in 2008. Dr Pepper supports Axl, and fully understands that sometimes you have to make it through the jungle before you get it right.

"It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper’s special mix of 23 ingredients, which our fans have come to know and love," said Jaxie Alt, director of marketing for Dr Pepper. "So we completely understand and empathize with Axl’s quest for perfection -- for something more than the average album. We know once it’s released, people will refer to it as "Dr Pepper for the ears" because it will be such a refreshing blend of rich, bold sounds -- an instant classic."

THE LANGUAGE

OF FEAR

By Del James

 

Praise for THE LANGUAGE OF FEAR:

 

"Del James has a personal knowledge of most of the situations he writes about, and has a love of the gutter from having been there." 

—W. Axl Rose

 

"Del James is fun.  Of course, Hell is fun—if you're one of the demons.  That's Del's day job.  After a hard day in Hell, he writes down what he saw.  Good reading." 

—John Shirley, author of Living Shadows

 

"Del James writes like a cross-fire hurricane. Full of primal force and awesome energy, his stories leap out from the page, grab you and won't let you go. It's a shame horror didn't wake up and get the message of THE LANGUAGE OF FEAR back in '95. There might be a genre left now if it had." 

—Paula Guran, DarkEcho.com

 

"The Language Of Fear could best be described as an updated Night Shift, the contemporary tales being short and nasty." 

—Cindy Baum, SCREEM MAGAZINE

 

"If Herschel Gordon Lewis had turned up with Black Sabbath and Charles Bukowski, it would play like Del James.  This is pissed-off, heartbroken, rock 'n' roll horror: surprisingly tender, garage band crude, savage as a shotgun blast and audacious as an exit wound."

 —John Mason Skipp, co-author of The Long Last Call

 

After being out of print for ten years, THE LANGUAGE OF FEAR, a short story collection by Del James is now available once again as a Dell paperback by print on demand.  One of the top-ten most sought after horror/sci-fi titles, THE LANGUAGE OF FEAR featuring an introduction by W. Axl Rose, the book contains fifteen terrifying tales that run the gamut from a married man about to murder his wife on the command of a dial-a-porn hooker, to outlaw zombie bikers, to a stoned teenager locked in a savage war with his television set.  THE LANGUAGE OF FEAR also features the short story "Without You" which was the inspiration for the Guns N' Roses video "November Rain."
