wow, 20 shows in 22 days....He plays more shows a month than axl plays in 10 years.

A lot of bands do that, but for some reason we still choose to talk about Gn'R here.

HAHAHAHAAHAH :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hihi:  ;D :D :) :) :( :( :( :P :-[ :-\ :'( :crying: :crying:

Well, 22 days to hear some rumors about him talking about CHINESE DEMOCRACY on his shows...

maybe because it is a GNR board ...  :o

Please read again.

WHen you play small shows you can only reach small crowds thats why you got to pack the shows in.

On a side note I bet you donuts to dollars he'll get bugged at every show on a question like "When is CD coming out"

Thanks for those dates, Mysteron.  Can't wait to see Tommy in concert.  

If a reasonable price for tickets(as I don't know any of his tunes)I'll check him out in Toronto.

Come to Australia Tommy...NOW!!

I think the thing everyone is missing is this, the fact that the tour ends in early september. There is still hope for 04

Cool anyone planning on going to the Cleveland show?

Wow, he's actually playing in Florida.  I'll drive the 3 1/2 hours north to go see him - cool beans.

-darknemus

no one usually plays that many shows, anyone think he is doin that to get it all in because he knows come november his solo career is over?!!


that is very good news his tour is ending in sept

let me ask u this,

if there was nothin goin on with GNR why would he kill himself to do that many dates in that few of days when he could just space em out?

maybe im readin in between the lines to much but thats a possibility

I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to over analyze when he was finishing his tour and think that some how correlated to GNR and this ridiculous November thing. How many million times have GNR members done solo stuff in the last couple of years and it has exactly zero to do with their GNR schedule. I mean this is not our first song or dance through this, so I would use it to bolster the November mirage so many are losing their minds over.

Its encouraging to see that his tour ends in September. It atleast leaves plenty of time for a November release, if that is the plan.....We should still remain cautiously optimistic with this but Im sure as his tour goes on we might find out a lil more.

Cant wait to get his album, I was going to order it on Amazon so I could listen to it but I have decided to wait till next tues.....SHould be a cool album...

exactly naupis, they have toured but theyve never did anything as incredible as 20 shows in 22 days, thats unreal, why would u do that grueling schedule with no days off unless its the only way u could get it all in?

i think that makes alot of sense!

My point is they have never toured around GNR because there has never been a need and now is no different. he is playing a ton of shows in a row to capitalize off what little publicity he is going to get for his album. Barely anyone is going to know its coming out anyway as most of the world barely knows he's in GNR (which is really sad after like 6 years) because they have never released any music and I think he will use what little pub he gets to exploit it right away before it is totally forgotten about.

If thinking it is GNR related lets you sleep better at night more power to you. Just no being disappointed when November comes and goes with nothing and we are left wondering why VH1 would have said that if CD really didn't start now.

Tommy has a lot more fans than you think. He is a punk icon and legend. Theres a whole other world out there other than the GNr fan who barely knew about him prior to GNR.

Naupis,

Take your legal verbose and shove it please. :rant:

Instead of contributing everything that Tommy does to GN'R and Chinese Democracy, can't you for once be proud of him for HIS accomplishments? ::)

Stop being a double talkin' jive mofo and get a life.  You as well as anyone else on here have no fucking clue what is going on in the world of GN'R. :rant:

listen if CD doesnt come out in november im not gonna be disappointed, i have plenty of things keepin me busy throughtout the wait, im fine with the wait

im just lettin myself get excited for once instead of being cynical all the time, i mean fuck it, its not like its gonna crush me or make me commit suicide if it doesnt come out, theres no harm in me havin a little faith

Alot of regional and smaller nationbands do that many shows in that many days. The want to place a city everynight and renting the bus and hotels cost money so they want to play a show everynight to make money.
When you dont have semis of stuff to unload into an arena you can play small clubs in major cities every night.

Yeah, but Tommy has been doing shows before, and he wasn't cramming them together then. He even came to England and had days between shows. He's got money (loads according to people who reckon he's only with GNR for the cash), and so can take days off.

To be honest, when I saw the dates I thought much the same as D. A lot crammed in and finished by September? Seems a little rushed.

@#$%Muther

I think Tommy is planning on going to Europe after the US mini-tour is finished

Damn, Im going to miss one of the shows by just 3 days but at least he's coming to Orlando. I was beginning to think some of these bands have forgotten us down here.

Is there any chance he'll be coming to Cologne?


/lastroots

He's not playing Philly...bum! (LOL)
Go ahead Mr. Tom Tom, be like your "buddy" :hihi:

I hope he is finished recording his portion of Chinese Democracy.

I'll concede I most likely missed the boat, but  I'm not certain if the July 29th Promo show is open to the public, but if it is, where is it taking place?  If not, where is the NY date?

From his official site (http://www.tommystinson.com):


JUN. 30:

I also will be doing a few solo shows: one in Minneapolis on the 27th of July (the day Village Gorilla Head comes out) at the Fineline. I'll also be confirming a N.Y.C. date for the 29th of July by next week.

JUN. 09:

I'll be doing a couple promotional shows, one in Minneapolis around July 26th the other in N.Y.C. around July 29th. They should be open to the public but I'll give more details as they come.


That's all the info available at the moment.

Great, a date in Atlanta, that's only a 7 hr. drive... :P

I guess Memphis, Birmingham and New Orleans are too small cities...For those who catch Tommy on the tour, have fun! :peace:

The European dates are currently being worked on, so I don't know

They will be in October though

Dang, no New England dates? Bummer. Oh, well. Best of luck to Tommy anyways, 7 days to VGH, how many months till Chinese Democracy?
