Axl Rose, lead vocalist of American rock band “Guns N’ Roses,” is putting Dr Pepper to task through his attorney after finding out not all customers were served a bottle of the drink according to E! Online.

Dr Pepper had announced that it would provide a 20-ounce bottle free of charge when “Chinese Democracy,” the latest album from “Guns N’ Roses,” was released.

According to E! Online, Dr Pepper had agreed to provide online coupons for anyone who visited their website on November 23, but the site crashed due to high traffic.

Although the promotion was extended for one more day, the site was reportedly unaccessible for most of that day.

Alan Gutman demands that the company extend its promotion in a letter to Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc.

Gutman also requests, “appropriate payment…for the unauthorized use and abuse of their publicity and intellectual property rights.”
