A message from Ron

[EFISH]

Here's a message my friend Laurent posted on his gnr fan page www.myspace.com/gnrfansaroundtheworld from Ron himself....

This letter comes after a site wanna go on strike if Chinese Democracy isn't released before 2007! Here's the letter _________________________________________________________
Ron here - this is not a statement on behalf of GnR, just speaking for myself, me to you. For whatever it's worth, I love you guys and appreciate all the support you guys have given the band. I haven't been in the band very long, but long enough to experience how great it is to have fans that care as much as you. Maybe it's too-little-too-late to let you know that, but that's how I feel, and it hasn't changed. From what I've seen, if ya give out info before it's 100% confirmed, and things don't happen as planned, it leads to people feeling betrayed, so info should only come at the final moment when all the piece are in place. That's not a GnR thing, it's everything, every business or band or anything else. If you're looking for daily or weekly updates on things that are in the works, it'll become a big mess for everyone. Meanwhile, we're touring It's been fucking great Since my first show with Guns in May, we've played nearly 70 shows, in 20 countries (if I counted right, at 3am after being up 30 hours... lol) The way I see it, for two-and-a-half hours each of those nights, it's our time to connect with each other - we get to say *fuck it* to everything else in life and enjoy ourselves - that's what it's about. It's not about business or setlists or critics or anything else - it's about saying FUCK IT and gettin' high off it from beginning to end and a long time after. Hope y'all have been enjoying it to the fullest. Life's too damn short to be upset about what you don't have - enjoy what you do have. Not trying to change anything by writing ya, not answering the questions you want answered, just letting ya know that your support hasn't gone unnoticed, and I just wanna say *thank you* to the moderators and members of your forum. For the years you've devoted to the band, and hopefully years to come... Thank you Ron

[TurboTravis]

Cool. Maybe his feelings will change after he waits for the album for 10 years, also

Is he trying to say that every band waits till the last minute to announce their CD release dates?   Seriously?  Or an I just not reading it right?

He's saying that the band themselves can't say when CD will be released yet and that is why we don't know.  '06 is done.  I've accepted this.  Hope we hear something in the next few months.

Thanks EFISH for finding this.

Looks like Ron might be playing a little good cop/ bad cop right now. Seems he is trying to build some good will inlue of the impending press release from Merck we will get giving the newest excuse as to why we aren't going to see an album this year. At least they are finally getting wise to the fact there will most likely be a decent backlash once 2006 passes, and are doing a sort of pre-emptive strike with Ron trying to build some good will before the bad news comes.

[killingvector]

You can't fault that statement; it expresses some of the same frustration yet preaches tolerance for what is to come. I think Ron is a good diplomat, much more effective than Mr. Mercuriadis

[mega_music]

Good find, thanks for passing this along to us.

Hope y'all have been enjoying it to the fullest. Life's too damn short to be upset about what you don't have - enjoy what you do have.

So damn true!!! Why cant others see it that way! I think Ron is one of the best additions to the family, because he is down to earth , cares about the fans, and likes to communicate.

[horsey]

and that we need is comunication.

[GNRreunioneventually]

hey is there a way you can ask W. Axl Rose himself when CHINESE DEMOCRACY is coming out? I know that i'm not the only one whos thought of this but has any one tried it latly? has any one been successful? ?

[horsey]

no idea how to do that.

Yeah, Ill give him a call after the show tonight.

  j/k but seriously.... asking the man himself won't acomplish anything but any fan that does it does have balls!
