Re: Thought This Was Funny...
It's really all you can do is laugh - it really is a circus. Thanks for the laugh russtcb this really is a fantastic comedy to follow - I would love to know who writes the script?
The GN'R camp must clearly know by now who Mysteron is (for all we know they probably even intentionally created him), so he must basically have the green light to go ahead and respond on message boards and give tidbits of uninformative info like this.
My question would be why not just come out and say it thru an offical source like their website?? Why do you need some alias to do this? Granted it will look pretty fucken stupid to put on their website as updates would probably go something like this:
- "Axl is concentrating on getting the album released" - followed by an update for the next quarter as
- "Axl thinks it's time to wrap this baby up, it feels right", next quarter
- "The album is in the final mixing stages", then the update for the end of the year
- "The album is done everyone knows that", then the start of the following year
- "Axl is concentrating on getting the album released"..........
I just find the whole Mysteron thing a bit stupid???? Why bother to repond to a post asking "what is Axl doing now" with bascially the same response that has been given for 15 years?? Wouldn't you just ignore it unless you truly had something enlightening to contribute? I just find it strange and potentially inflammatory to respond out of the blue with that sort of glib answer?
Actually, on reflection I don't think this whole saga is a comedy anymore - it actually turned into a tragedy a long time ago.
Re: Thought This Was Funny...
What Mysteron's actually saying is that we have here a $13 Million light-bulb. Axl's spent years trying to change it, with producers and players coming in rows. A lot of people have gotten burned in the process, which should come as no surprise. The record company finally got tired of Axl keeping them in the dark and said "That's it Axl, we're not coming back before you lighten up!"
There was never a clearcut direction to properly change the light-bulb. The band was in the studio on most weekdays, while Axl would came late into the evening and sit around with producers and A&R men. Axl observed the bands best efforts but thought they were never quite able to pull it off. Whenever a ray of light was shed, it was overshadowed by the shape of this one tophat. That made Axl go 'Heureka!' one night, and thus he hired Buckethead.
To say the changing of this light-bulb has been an unbearably long and incomprehensible journey would be an understatement. Overcoming the endless and seemingly insane amount of obstacles faced by all involved, notwithstanding the emotional challenges endured by everyone -- the fans, the band, our road crew and business team -- has at many times seemed like a bad dream in which one wakes up only to find that they are still in the nightmare. Unfortunately, this time it has been played out for over a decade in real life.
It takes approximately eight weeks for the light to hit the wall once it has been turned on at the electric company. For whatever reasons, it appears that it may have been mistakenly inferred by management that this time period could be condensed to three weeks. With that being said, this is not a promise, a lie or a guarantee, but we do wish to announce a tentative release date of March 6. This is the first time we have done this publicly for this light-bulb. Others have made up all the other dates for their own reasons. We would like to assure the fans that everything in our power will be done to meet this date. Once it is finalized and official, you will be notified. If we are delayed for unseen reasons, you also will be notified as soon as possible in regard to a new date, and the album will be released as shortly thereafter as is possible. We thank you for your patience.
In the end, it's just an light-bulb, but it's one that I, the band, our electric company and all involved believe and feel is a true Guns N' Roses light-bulb. Ultimately the public will decide, and regardless of the outcome, our hearts, lives and our passion has been put into this project every step of the way. If for no other reason, we feel those elements alone merit your consideration. We do hope you can hold on just a bit longer, and if not, please take a break and we'll be more than glad -- if you so choose -- to see you again later.
