Message from Merck and Axl

[Axl&Baz07]

Thanks!  It was very professional and responsible for them to take the time and address these issues for the fans. 

Looking forward to seeing them in January!!   

[liesin]

nice gesture, really appreciate it, fucking great that they took the time!

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

 
GN'R fuckin' RULES!

Thank you for what should now shut everyone the fuck up!

Now everyone fuckin' rock out tonight... ?wish I was there with you all!

[LittleFly]

Phew, that took a while to read through (the thread in it's entirety so far) ?

This was increadibly cool of Axl and Merck to do. ?My guess is that it took a pretty good stretch of time to get that thing written so that it included everything they wanted to say in an understandable manner. Well, it would have taken a long time for me, their probably better at it then I am

It really pissed me off how bad Beta was being bashed yesterday. ?She didn't have to come here to post, but she did. And she got bashed to hell from a few different people for it. ?I had to stop posting in there to save my karma

It gets hard reading this board sometimes, when most of the threads turn into bash-fest (or a lot of them anyway) ?I feel like I can't post sometimes because if it's positive, someone will bash the hell out of it. ?Oh, and in regards to the post that said that people don't come here just to slag the band...I know one personally, or did. ?It's truely the ONLY reason he ever posts here. ?He wants to see a train wreck. ?I don't like when people do that at all.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this message. ?I'm stoked for tonights show and Fridays, both of which I'll be at. ?(shit I gotta get going!) GNR fuckin rocks my fuckin world!!! ?

[FunkyMonkey]

Its time to move on.

Looking forward to the Minneapolis show, and Axl, we don't barbeque up here...it's too cold.

Like I said in my handful of other posts here, I'm a long time lurker, but try not to post and get caught up in the sometimes "organized chaos" we've come to know and love as HTGTH. ?I too want join in here and state that most if not all of the people here are always going to be Guns N' Roses fans. ?People like to come on here and sing praises one day, then lament until their fingers bleed the next day. ?And for better or worse, that is what this place is, an outlet to dicuss anything on your mind related to Axl, Merck, Chinese Democracy, etc. ?Yes it is a shame that Axl, Merck and Beta had to go through Jarmo at all, but in this day and age, it's to be expected. ?Regardless of what happened in Maine, I'm still on the edge of my seat waiting for November 13th to come around. ?And no matter how long we;ve all been waiting to get our hands on Chinese Democracy, I still check on here almost daily for the release date, as if I were a 5 year old the night before Christmas. ?

So in any case, if you are reading any of these posts Axl and/or Merck, or even if you Jarmo are relaying these comments back to Axl and the boys, just know that although some around here may act like they are disgusted with things, we all know how every one of use really feels... ?

It's comforting, in a way, to know that the "higher ups" read our thoughts and concerns.

[horsey]

that is good then.something said and not ignored.very kool of axl and merk.THANK-YOU !

[mahimahi23]

I found these two quote's to be pretty funny on Blabbermouth just now, and the stories are right beside each other 


Sebastian said

"Basically what happened is that GUNS N' ROSES has a huge pyro show ? anybody that's seen the concert knows that to be the case. And when the fire marshall showed up, they were not into it ? they were like, 'This is too much.

Then this headline

GUNS N' ROSES Manager: Portland Cancellation 'Had Nothing To Do With Pyro Or Ticket Sales

I just found this funny because the posts were right beside each other.

[Mr.Intensity]

Wow, that's fucking awesome....

Merck is right, they played like 50 shows in a row, one of them where Axl had to be rushed to the hospital because he tried to continue it even when the doctors told him not too. On top of that Axl and Merck named the fire marshals that were being idiots, it has seemed to me since the Hammerstein shows that this time around Axl and co. are determined to pull off a big tour.

I'll openly admit at times I've posted comments regarding the setlist and stating I'd love to hear new additions to it, but that's because I'm a fan and I want to hear all the damn songs live at one time or another.. I also want to see all the new guys get their due for their work on the new tracks, but ANY guns n roses show is an event, it really doesn't matter what they play, it's cool to see them finally address all the morons who spread lies, misinformation, and try to spin everything in a negative light on the band.

Maybe Guns should do a 3,000 seat venue there or 2,000 seat venue like Hammerstein sometime for the people in that state that got shafted by the unfortunate situation....

[Crowebar]

Hey, Axl.

Thanks.

You saved my life!!!

See you in Toronto!!!

[CVBTank]

How did they plan to harass fans?  Why is everything from the GnR camp so vague?

[JuicySwoos]

I think it is time to get over this and move on...bring back the density of Ronbin's beard threads!!!

[Dont Try Me]

thanks for the message! by the way, gunsnroses.com is updated with the message from axl.

[norway]

they can't be bothered to say anything about the album.

of course not!!!

[JeRrYFaR]

None of us know 'behind the scenes'.. There could be legal implications with saying something about the album before it's time..

After the statement Axl & crew made, I'm confident that we'll finally see this album in all its glory.. :-)

[bigbri]

Wow, I'm speechless. To hear from the GNR camp firsthand is awesome, but its unfortunate they had to take the time to do this on a message board. But you know what, that just shows how much they value GNR fans. I, for one, appreciate the effort and time it took for Merck and Axl to do this. They have better things to worry about than us, but they took time out of their day to do this. That's about the best thing you could hope for from your idols!

Guess I wasn't too speechless after all. Thanks. ?

[ZRO]

WOW! my post got deleted because I said "Merck and Axl can't be bothered to say anything about the album."

Doesn't that kind of go against Merck's whole,

If someone wants to express their opinion or critique the band and its performances, recordings, actions etc that does not bother us

stuff?

[JeRrYFaR]

I'm sure they'll discuss it when it's time.. 'can't be bothered to say anything' to me sounds negative.. you're saying they don't care to inform the fans..

We don't know what the hell goes on behind the scenes.. I say relax and we'll hear something, hopefully sooner than later..

[Bodhi]

great post...I agree with them 100 percent...i was at the meadowlands show and it was great....i am sick of the negativity of people on this board, especially the ones who ARENT EVEN GOING TO SHOWS!!!!
