You might, of course, notice that Merck's answer isn't exactly a denial.
"Amazon are playing games" doesn't directly translate into "Its not true, CD will not be released and sold through Amazon.com relatively soon".? In fact, his statement is pretty vague, to state the least.
Also, I like Mysteron's little parentheses when referring to Universal's release list .. the (not at this time) thing or whatever.
I do my best not to be a conspiracy theorist, but you have to admit, this entire situation does hold at least some promise.
-darknemus
mercks statements are always very vague ( at least in the last months. he didn`t deny or approve anything.) but mystereon`s statements are even more vague............ there`s no point in reading to much into those, merck should just say what`s goin' on
Amazon's information is baseless. Is that un-vague enough for you?
Do I need to add curse words or something to speak to the youth of today?

so if it is baseless and there is no chinese democracy on the way is greatest hits still on the way? It just seems unusual that they would put this up out of nowhere.

I have been doing some thinking. Here is my thought.
It?s definitely going to be Chinese Democracy because how the hell would Geffen release GH2 or WTTJ for the band that has only 5 album worth of materials.
For 5 album worth of songs, the best they could is release 1 single GH album which they have already done that.
If we can just forget about Spaghetti Incident, then it will be 4 because SI was disappointing.
AXL would not want another GH album release. I think that first the record company is threatening AXL if he does not release CD, they will release GH2.
Then this force AXL to release CD, that?s why it?s pre-order at amazon
Welcome back AXL.

Mysteron. I'm not saying that Amazon's information has any sort of validity. However, aren't you the least bit curious as to WHY they've updated their site like that?
We are, afterall, talking about Amazon - not like "Heyitsmikescdstore!.com" or something. I don't expect Merck to come out and reveal release plans (provided there are any in place, anyway) but I'd love it if he'd toss the fans at least a snippet of hope every now and again. If he did, maybe you wouldn't have huge threads like this on something that you claim is "baseless".

I am not getting my hopes up, but if we keep cranking it up the sales chart quite possibly we might here something from somwhere.

Merck says 'Amazon are playing games'
There is also nothing listed on Universal's release schedule (as of right now)
That about sums it up.
The end.

Here's my prediction:
Presales make it number one
Axl calls Geffen:
"See, motherfuckers?
No rush! ?It will sell millions!!
I'll wait 2 more years."

Total madness.
The craze somehow reminds me of the fuss about BHs departure.
Sanctuary kept flat denying that till it was confirmed by cap A.

My current boss used to work at Amazon and I asked about the process of records getting listed. Here is what I was told, in summary:
Apparently the distributor for this CD would have notified Amazon of the existence of the album, with the understanding that the record exists and is ready, but cover art, etc and the release date may change. The date into the future as stated previously is just a placeholder until the final date is decided upon. I was given the response that this is a credible listing and would not have occured without a completed record waiting in the wings.
Sounded good to me. Don't know if this info helps, but it's fun to finally have some positivity here.

Exactly like some of us suspected. Some company has requested that page on Amazon. Do you know if a company has to pay Amazon to put up that page?

anyone remember when Bucket head left?
They denied it and the impending cancellation of RIR4 right up until Axl issued his statement, even though all signs pointed to Bucket leaving?
I think even if it comes out, Merck will say, "It's not really out, that not what is in the stores. That is baseless. Until you hear it from me, don't believe it. "

Most of you people don't know shit about Merck.
What reasons does he have to lie?
Check his history, the guy was a former A&R and marketing director at Virgin Records by the time he was 20. He's basically what you'd call a very smart guy...
He's also a personal manager for Axl and Bruce Dickinson, 2 of the most difficult people (according to the press) in the industry, and he's been handling them well all these years.
Now, think well before you say anything stupid.
