No. Its just that Merck is on tour with GNR right now.

Does Merck even have an office to contact?  I thought he parted ways with Sanctuary?

Is Merck on the road with GnR? If so, that may explain why he was unavailable to comment. I do wonder if something has happened though, and maybe that's why we can't discuss the "there's 10 tuesdays left" article. ?

 The opening line to article is" The latest word from the Gun's & Roses camp is that the release of the band's long awaited C.D is just around the corner. Hoorah! but then that's what they said in 2005. and 2004 and..

 Sorry, I dont have a scanner

Yes and an a secrtary to answer his phone calls. Remember the eatmysilkworms interview?

  yes

I thought that was before he officially left though.

Either way, not a big deal that he didn't respond, I wouldn't worry, yet....

im going to go on record that CD will not be out this year.

oh yeah, by the way, best buy has nothing on it.

[GNFNRAXL]

Number 8 does concern me as well.  Even though "he is on tour".  He could've returned the call. 

[dboyd13]

I agree, it does not come across as a positive article but it does sum up the last decade.

you will be wrong.

my money is on 11/28

[1badapple]

Well, maybe it's not coming out this year. Maybe that's why talk of the "10 tuesdays left" article was silenced. Maybe something changed between the time Merck said that and when the article was released.

There's now 6 Tuesdays left. Things ain't looking too promising, but i'm trying to remain hopeful. I still think 12-26 is a strong possibility.

If it doesn't come out this year, i hope the GnR camp is ready for the backlash. Jarmo might get busy deleting bash threads.

[Bodhi]

yeah i got a feelling it will be this year....and I have never said that with any certainty until now...I dont know why, seems different this time around...i mean other human beings have actually heard it.. like Bach

[dboyd13]

 Hope C.D does come out this year. Its Nov. 15 and not a word yet from management on a release date.  It makes you wonder.
