Even in a huge week like this, controversy finds Guns N’ Roses. GnR 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 Sunday November 23rd, the day Democracy was released, fans were told they could get a coupon for a free can at its website. The website crashed and Axl feels that ‘ruined’ the day of Chinese Democracy’s release for many fans. The band is seeking a public apology plus more time for people to claim their free soda.

One person who is happy is Andrea who picked up the new GnR disc “Chinese Democracy” from Walmart and The Drive.

The Drive Nooner - Random Rock News: (Weekdays at 12:10pm)

The man who gave U2 their first record deal, has died following a two-year battle with cancer. Rob Partridge signed the group to Island Records in 1980 and remained the group's publicist and a friend of frontman Bono. U2 continue work on their new album, which is due to be released in early Spring 2009.

Perhaps they're not as fussy about the colour of the M&M's and don't require busty hookers and banned substances backstage? But there are some interesting element on Van Halen's rider. Quite oddly, Van Halen have a request for a ’study room’ for Eddie’s sprog and bassist Wolfgang and his tutor but all of the real gems from this document evolve around Dave Lee Roth.Diamond Dave’s dressing room is to have no carpets or rugs so that he can practice his martial arts freely and perhaps most tellingly of all, he requests that his room is “as far away as possible” from the rest of the band. Check out the full document at The Smoking Gun website.

Although their most recent disc just came out this spring, The Black Crowes are talking about a new album. Guitarist Rich Robinson has said “Having all this sort of new enthusiasm and this newfound sense of identity as a band, I think we want to put it to good use and make another great record and really do some different and interesting things.” He adds that the band have “tons of songs around.”

Classic Rock Song Facts: (Weekdays at 1:20pm)

This was released 5 months after lead singer Bon Scott died. The song is a tribute to Scott, and they lyrics, "Forget the hearse 'cause I never die" imply that he will live on forever through his music.

Bon Scott saw Brian Johnson singing for another band in a pub, and was so impressed by his vocals, when he met back up with AC/DC he told them to get Johnson if anything should ever happen to him. After Bon's death, Angus Young called Johnson up and offered him the position of lead vocalist. Johnson told him where he could put it and hung up (he thought someone was pranking him). Eventually, of course, it worked out.

The band got the idea for the title before writing any of the song, although Malcolm Young had the main guitar riff for years and used to play it frequently as a warm-up tune.

This song was recorded in The Bahamas and produced in New York by Mutt Lange.

Bon Scott had several lyrical ideas for the album, but those were abandoned by the band in favor of new lyrics by Brian Johnson as well as Malcolm and Angus. Former AC/DC manager Ian Jeffrey claims to still have a folder that contains lyrics of 15 songs written for Back In Black by Bon.

The album had a black cover with the band's logo on it. It was a tribute to Bon Scott.

This was the title track to AC/DC's most popular album. Worldwide, it has sold over 40 million units.

It is ... Back In Black ... by ACDC !
