Merck Has 21 Days Left

21 days (3 weeks) until 2005 is officially over.

Merck indicated that 2005 would be "the year for GNR"...

Time running out Merck.

Your post sounds like you're threatening him!?
21 Days Left or else!!!?

Merck has proven he has no credibility with regards to release dates.

And by this logic, neither does Dizzy or Tommy or Richard or just about everyone else with some GNR connection ... except Axl because Axl hasn't said anything at all.??

But by that logic, er, like Dizzy or Tommy, he also.....
Oh, You mean This year.

Still 21 days left on all fronts.

I would love to know why its my fault.

Ask your own conscience.....You should know yourself or maybe I kid.

Maybe not this year, but Axl has said shit in the past that hasn't happened. Last year he released a statment saying 'expect a release date in the next few months' and even further back in 2000 or 2001 he said he had the tracks and artwork done and the album was almost ready to go!! If even Axl's out of the loop we really are screwed

It is official. The album has started completing itself and making just some final touches before it hands itself over to the label. Axl is too shamed to admit he has lost control so he is hiding somewhere in brazil, thinking about making another album called "Brazilian Communism" along with a few lawsuits against that ex-album...

Didn't he make the statement in March? Maybe things have changed since then....

Of course, things aren't allowed to change in the GN'R world.

Dammit Jarmo, you've only been here for 9 years! you should know that circumstances don't change

Because Merck made those comments in regard to a New York Times piece on the album, I think he should make another to explain why his prediction was not realized. In its absence, it is fair for someone to assume that the Times reporter was spot on with his evaluation of the state of the album.

Wow, I hadn't really considered this, but I guess you're right---making statements to a gossip site like sp1at are on thing, but he was responding to a relatively well-researched piece in the biggest paper in the United States-saying it was bunk and implying the record would be out---looks like he'll have a bit of egg on his face---unfortunately, it seems with little exception that Axl and his managers don't have much of a regard for dealing with the press or public in any transparent way-they'll 'let the music do the talking'' well, all i hear right now is silence.........

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Didnt the NYT article say only three songs or so were finished? You cant blame merk for axl pushing the album back again. He has the say in when the album is done. Until axl says its done, its not done.

[nesquick]

Merck is not responsible if the record isn't finished.

[killingvector]

Merck is not responsible if the record isn't finished.

Merck is responsible for the statements that come from his own mouth. Since no one has any real knowledge of what is occurring in GnR, unless he follows up his 2005 prediction, it is natural to assume that not only was his prediction wrong but his defense of Axl and the process suspicioius.

merck made a comment about something his hopes for the future. you guys are treating it as if god came down from up high and started changing about the ten commandments.

[Groghan]

Maybe he meant the undercover release of IRS as the big news of 2005

And whose fault is that?

It's God's fault.

Time running out Merck.

Safe bet is nothing is happening this year just like every year before

Yeah, and it would be too much to ask to be updated and have Merck tell us that things have been pushed to 2006, you know, common decency for die hard fans that have waited for the last 10-14 years for new material.

Jeez, how dare we ask for something from the almighty.

Nah, instead we just keep making excuses and apologies for their lies and propaganda.  No need to look too far for a list of these apologists as they all appear in this thread,  you know who you are. 

[jimmythegent]

at the very least, there should be some kind of statement issued in '05 but i'm doubtful.

I don't expect a statement, but it would be really cool of them to give us something for xmas. Just a picture of the band members in the studio with Axl would say a lot more than words.

[Warren]

merck is pathetic, even more than Douggie Goldstein.

Is Merck married is he a straight man bi sexual or gay , Im quite smitten with him
