Until Axl speaks, nothing is set in stone.

Until Axl speaks, nothing is set in stone.

It looks like he might have.  That is, if Merck's non-denial statement is any proof.  We shall see, though.

what was merck's non denial statement? i think i missed it.

[darknemus]

I'll copy / paste my exchange with Madison from mygnr.  (She's who actually spoke to Merck - I asked, specifically, about Axl possibly being quoted / misuoted.

Madison,

I'm curious, did Merck offer any sort of direct response to your query about Axl being misquoted?  (Its one of those not much wiggle room type of questions, hence my curiosity.)

Thanks,

Yes, but he was good at evading it.
I asked, "If Axl was misquoted, I think people should know, wouldn't you agree?"

And he replied, "Only if it were something of substance."

So, that's when I just asked flat-out if the rumors weren't true.

Fascinating, so basically, we have "something of substance" here. (I really don't think that can be questioned.. given how little 'info' we get out of the GNR Enigma) and he seems like he doesn't want to say Axl was misquoted. That's.. well, its food for thought, anyway.

Otherwise, Sanctuary would be all over saying "Axl never said that" - at least I would think they would.

That was my interpretation as well.
Time will tell I guess.

(The answer there at the end was Madison's, in case it wasn't clear.)

interesting... thank you for posting.  i have a feeling something is in the works also...

[badapple81]

I must have missed, what is Axl supposed to have quoted?

[darknemus]

I must have missed, what is Axl supposed to have quoted?

That he spoke to a fan a few weeks ago in regards to A. CD being released in early 2006 and B. That they want a track on the DaVinci Code soundtrack

Ahh yes, sorry, I thought there may have been a different piece of news I missed. Thanks

Laughing at GN'R fans for being disappointed? bless you, a poor soul.
think negative and waste your precious time.
Negative thinking stops you from doing everything you want to do in your life.

Haha ppbebe while I appreciate your concern, I am doing just fine with my life so far.  Maybe if I become obsessed with this board then I will take your advice, but for now this place represents a small percentage of my daily activities.

We've been in this situation so many times its unreal. It's stupid to get your hopes up over these little things. Press Releases don't even get my hopes up anymore lol.

you say that like there are press releases all the time

[33]

Estranged 33 is not taking all "realistic" comments as negativism.
He's talking about the constant negativity of the whiners and the bashers against the band and the fans, which is unreal. It seems as if? they are simply trying to drag us down.

Thanks ppbebe, that was exactly my point! It just makes it so hard sometimes when you read so much abusive, negative shit about the band or individual members. I ent got no problem with people being realistic. I think by the age of 29 and having been a huge fan of the band since day one then I know how to be realistic when it comes to Guns N Roses. People who post realistic, sensible, fun, interesting and postive comments are fucking cool. Its the other pricks I am on about, who I am sure when the album comes out will be like "the album is fucking wicked" or "Axl is a legend" or "Robin is the man" , and conveniantly forget all the whinging they have done for fucking ages. And the other thing about some of these people is that they get all opinionated and gobby but their comments prove they really dont know a huge amount about the band anyway. Thats why it gets fucking tiresome reading their shit now when things at last really seem to be happening and the majority of people are being really postive.

[33]

btw. could you give me the source for the Robin news?

Hey Nytunz, sorry mate I think I got that one wrong. When I wrote It I thought I remembered Robin saying something about the album a few weeks ago, but now I think about it I dont think he did! Maybe someone can correct me on that?

[sweechile]

Yeah,  things are happening at an enormous rate,  Axl has just spoken to me,   I met him at the Ralphs at the Deli counter.
He said  'Chinese Democracy is coming out very soon,  please buy all the tickets you can as I might show up!'
    He wouldn't be pulling my leg now, would he?    I believe him,  he was such a nice guy !
He said that once 'Slash finished recording his new solo's'   that they would suprise everyone!!  What a cool guy! 

[33]

Anyway! Estranged, Robin did post a positive GNR update to the fans, on his website a few months back! And there is no doubt he is excited about "boarding the ship"

I just hope Robin doesnt get seasick because he's been waited ever so loyally on that ship for years

[ppbebe]

Haha ppbebe while I appreciate your concern,

Er....I guess You get me wrong there ...but whatever.

I reckon I know know who will have the last laugh!

Guns N' Roses and US, the positives !!!!!
Yay!
My fellow GN'R fans of the world,
Chinese Democracy starts anytime everywhere now!
Lets unite for Chinese Democracy against the negativity and take over!

Everyday life and the hope of the world is Chinese Democracy!  That is the point!

Living organism!   Right AX!

Well, It is meant for the mood of GN'R fandom.
However If it apples to your real life, be it so.
it may do you a power of good.

Usually, when I hear, some sort of rumours going around, I try to stay level headed, but can still feel butterflys in my stomach, and usually manage to control them, it's not working this time! Something fuckin big is happening!
