Personally, I thought 2006 was bigger than this. ?Constant reassurances that the album would "for sure be out by the end of the year" is just more powerful to me than hearing the newest, least-known band members and a friend of the band state that the album is being mixed.
if you think a bit, read and understand Axl's letter you'll know that all that "13 tuesdays left" thing was said by merck, not Axl. He was trying to put the album out till the end of year, but he never said a tentative release date and they didn't clam before "the album is FINISHED, now we're mixing". So you are probably wrong in your thoughts.
When I think about it, I realize that lat year Axl didn't deny the "by the end of 2006" thing untill, well...the end of 2006. ?Also, he basically said the same sort of thing on Eddie Trunk and backstage at the MTV awards. ?Regardless, hindsight is 20/20. ?Most people were excited when we heard by the end of 2006. ?Nobody was saying "well, this probably isn't true because it's just Axl's manager saying it". ?If you DIDN'T know all that you know right now...let's pretend that you didn't know either scenarios and what has happened already (or didn't happen). ?Let's say somebody said to you the following 2 statements and you had to pick one to get excited about and which was most promising. ? Which would you pick:
1) Axl's manager states on several occasions that the album will definately be out by the end of the year.
2) The two newest band members and a friend of the band state that recording is done and things seem to be moving along.
I would have to say the first one is most-promising. ?Sorry, but just looking at it on the surface we were "closer" last year than we are now...as weird as that sounds.
