Here Today... Gone To Hell!

He arrived with his privat plane from Prague at? Vienna Airport at about 18.30 - he was with about 10-12 people (no Izzy and no one of the band who drove from prag with a nightliner)

there were about 5 fans waiting- he signed one picture for each! Including mine!!! He was really cool and very friendly! But he did not want to be photographed

he has the same bodyxguard that used to work for Bono on the last U2 Tour!

backstage @ nocarock i had a brief chat with Merck and he confirmed the album release for september.



Edit: Changed subject since it was a bit misleading. Axl didn't say anything about the album's release. /jarmo

cool, album out in a few months.. I never get why they can't say it's coming out, like why not say this at every show

they probably dont just say it cuz they know axl could flake on it and push it back

This strikes me as... not too many.

Like, I have about 5 fans waiting for me when I come back from somewhere. :hihi:

but with all the time and money invested wouldn't you want to let everyone know? Fuck why tour then?

When I met izzy may 17th there were like 4 people outside... Then again like me he snuck out early

so many people have asked the same question without a definate answer.........find it hard to believe he should tell you

Umm.. Axl has said this many times now (fall, late fall, September, October), now Merck confirmed it too.

Axl said the release should be ab so lute ly in fall.

September or October, I don't mind.

early fall would be great, I just wish they would speak about it like it was happening... I mean how could would it be to have axl speak about it onstage in each country?

yep...........im with you on that 1. theres been no mention what so ever to my knowledge
it would be the best possible way to promote it.................if its ready

yeah I mean not everyone heard eddie trunk that's for sure... Axl has the mic to say as much as possible about cd, plus he should be so proud you wouldn't be able to keep him quiet.. Until he starts saying something or the band can talk about it I have my doubts, it's been close before too..

i wish a press release would be made to confirm things

would be awesome but i dont really beleive you

I don't think so

i guess we have another liar :hihi:

Not necessarily. The other stuff could be true. It's not worth checking though

Well if a person made up an entire met merck thing why believe anything?

why?

There ya go ?:smoking:

Because Merck says so. I'm sure he'd remember saying something of this nature

Because wegotit has been around for a while.

Life isn't black and white.

sucks that people make this shit up.... I mean even the bumblefoot thing was lies..

Or they just misunderstand what they hear?

like that guy from....where was he from again? :P

the guy from argentina ivan :hihi:

Why would Merck say that to a fan? Redicolous...

Axl said "Fall" already... BBF the same thing... Merck "this will be the year of GNR (2005)" ... well, why is dificult to meet him and ask the question and got an aswear???

Mysteron, tell us... there?s some truth NOW in this fall release??

I mailed Merck and he said he didn't talk to a fan at Novarock.

maybe then he asked someone else and thought it was him... let him explain.

how about this guy takes a photo/scan of his autograph?  : ok:

good point!!!

I spoke with Merch backstage - full stop!
And that's because I work as journalist/photographer in Austria!

guys c?mon... why do u always just not believe in ppl? maybe im too na?ve.. yeah maybe that?s it... but i believe the guy... what?s the point in coming here and start many bullshit on this forum? I don?t get it.

Nobody gets it, yet it happens all the time on all different types of forums.


Believe him if you want, I personally don't, but hey it's your own choice on what your opinion is on this.

Not according to Merck

If there was a confirmed date, I would know it, and so would everyone else on here.

If it comes in Sept, then great. If it doesn't, Axl says fall/late fall 2006 and that is what you go by for now because he is the man.

it's sad but the reason why no one believe anyone anymore is because so many assholes have made up shit just to mess with everyone and anyway there should be proof to back it up,so in other words don't post shit unless you can back it up ?:beer:

Ines, Mysteron talks directly with Merck, so if he says Merck didn't tell dates to any fan at Novarock, that's the truth.. ?and our original poster is lying.

Anyway, as YouCouldBeMine wrote, if wegotit wants to prove that he at least met Merck, he could've scanned the autograph he says he got...

Why but why ??

I mean, you'll know soon enough when there is a REAL release date for Chinese Democracy. Even Axl still don't know it, so let's stop this kind of discussion, shouldn't we ?

Again, people always get others wrong.
I guess there were some misunderstandings.

 
like other bands?
Fuck nose but likely enough they're carefully holding it back till everything is absolutely fixed. Or maybe they've set the declaration for some absolute date? like the 4th of july for example. 

Or they eh Axl just prefers to keep people guessing?
Do we have so many Tuesdays in fall?

satisfied now?

You lucky bastard!

That's pretty good proof  :hihi:

does anyone remember when management denied having asked bumblefoot to join guns?

i guess merck didn`t want him to post the info here anyways...

i'm telling ya. Single out in august, vmas in august, and album drops in the end of september!  :beer:

Merck denies everything & anything...

Just because he's the manager, doesn't mean he always tells the truth... If we're not supposed to know something, and we do somehow find out, he will deny it...

Why deny it though, why not give us some fucking information. They've been back on tour a few months now and we still no about as much as we knew in 1996! Which is basically nothink except "it's coming" I think we at least deserve something.

wegotit, i'm soooooooooooo jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :crying:  :crying:  :crying:

Thanx for posting!

I guess Merck did not see that one coming.  :hihi:

exactely :hihi:

so if i had of got a photo pf when i met robin at download and uploaded it could i of said a load of stuff like Robin told me a release date etc


i know backstage they dont allow cameras so you wouldnt of got any photos there

i want to belive you but just cant  :no:

well...  i don?t care if it`s true or not. fact is management/merck isn`t always telling the gospel truth : ok:

and neither do a lot of these bit time posters

you should know youve been here nearly two years yourself

when the album gets officially announced ill believe it not before and especially not from some bit time poster who happens to have a photo of him and some band members

i choose to belive this guy.
i dont think he makes it up.

And, there dosent necessery have to be a official release date... like the 21th, 05th or 11th of September... for Merck to say that the album will be out in september.. but there sure is some kind of scedual.. there are many dates to choose from in september...

The only thing we do know, is that they are planning on releaseing the album in the fall.... So if Merck says this or that, it actually is no news for us..

I think wegotit is a reasonable poster but there is no set date for CD right now

I am hoping that people can work the rest out for themselves.

We have to be a little responsible in what we say because people do read and watch what is said here

true..
but wegotit never mention there was a date..  :peace:

well youve spun that right back on its self with the last line  :P

thats sad to hear  :'(  :P

Not really

Axl says Fall/late fall. There is only a few weeks seperating the different timescales

sweet, and single when?  :-X

some bands dont release singles, before a week from the album release.. hope GNR will release something in august!!! that would be great!

who cares... its coming soon!  gonna be a great year for Axl and Gnr and the fans!!!! cool pics.

i do mofo, i'll believe CD is coming when i get a single !i!i!i!

well i predict we will get a proper announcement/release date

between

1st August and 22nd September :hihi:

i believe this guy, seriously, if he wanted to fuck wiv us.....surely hed make up a new date not give confirmation of a month/season we already have......seriously guys, some of you are so fast to close down any rumour, no matter how much truth there may be to it. he's even given us proof. why would someone go to that much effort just to pull a little hoax on the HTGTH board users........

ahahaha :rofl: see? I was right in believing the guy!! And I don?t even kno him.. lol I think we gotta start being nicer to each other... u?ll see things here will improve a lot!

dude?? uncalled for.  j/k i meant who cares if merk said sept.  It's coming soon so we should all just be happy.  Didnt mean who cares about cd coming out.

That's super cool, wegotit!!!? : ok:

IMO having Axl give you a personal autographed pic is way better than having one of those deer-in-the-headlights-looking Axl ones.? I would be embarrassed to show a pic of me with someone who obviously is hating being in the pic ... but to be able to show off a personalized autographed RECENT one is awesome!!!

The pics with Dizzy and Robin are way cool too!!!? 8)

wow! great1 congrats! thanks for share with us :peace: :D : ok: :beer:

I see some terrific photographs but can someone explain to me how they validate an alleged statement from Merck that the release date is September?

They don't. They only validate that wegotit is not completely full of it.

Mysteron's post that "We have to be a little responsible" leaves no doubt in my mind.

me either... Im gonna guess its gonna be out in Sept... in time for the USA tour....  Merk has a history of saying one thing then when confronted with it lies his ass off.... I belive homeboy who met the band over Merk the big fat liar...




/KFed

Correct me if I am wrong here but..............

Wegotit said he works as a journalist.

Wegotit said he had a chat with Merck.

Someone emailed Merck and Merck said that he did not chat with a FAN....not a JOURNALIST from Novarock.

So maybe that is the misunderstanding ???

Cool pictures dude. : ok:

Maaan Wegotit (aka Thomas! : ok: ) I'm jealous of you!

Anyhoo, to all the people wrongfully calling "Bullshit", I'll have you know I think he's telling the truth. When he said he chatted with Merck and Merck said it was out in September, then Merck isn't saying anything new really!! We already knew that it was coming out around that time!! Now if Tom here had said a specific date, then I'd be a little less inclined to believe him, but I still wouldn't go so far as to call him a liar.

I think there is a lot of wrongful calling of "Bullshit" when it comes to Gn'R. Half the people are like "OMG WOW REALLY!" and the other half are like "... do you smell that?"

Its just a case of whether you think the glass is half full or half empty, and I think people should just take what they get and quit bein' all smartass about it. If it turns out to be fake, the OMGWRs will look stupid, but if it turns out to be true, then the DYSTs will look stupid.

There's gotta be a way of doing it so that no one ends up looking stupid!!

ummm, I need a bit more proof than that.

whats your source?

My inate powers of reason.

SkynardGirl. i tottaly agree with ya!  :D

also, wegotit.. i believe you 100 percent my friend.

cool story, happy 4 ya, ya got to meet the band, 'speccially axl!  : ok:

 :no: nope need a link before i will belive you.... lol

I think that we should all just be happy with the way the ball is rolling now and that CD will definetly be out by the end of the year.  : ok:

How do I know they were lies? I think you might be making shit up about it being lies.

that's really cool dude, you must be pretty damn tall

Oh, so that's what you mormons are calling your wives these days. Sneaky bastard! :hihi:

Does it really matter if he's lying? If it comes out in September it does, if it doesn't... Then a million threads will be started on October 1st about how pissed off people are. We have all been down this road a million times before and it usually leads to the same place...
