Here Today... Gone To Hell!

05/27 - Lisbon, POR @ Rock In Rio (Lisbon)
05/03-04 ? Milan, ITA @ Gods of Metal
05/03-06 - N?rburgring, GER @ Rock am Ring
05/09 ? Dublin, IRE @ RDS Arena
05/09-11 - Donington, UK @ Download
05/15 - Warsaw, POL @ Legia Stadium
05/15-17 - Pannonia Fields, AUT @ Nova Rock

That's seven dates so far...I would say it's all confirmed...

I hope Goldstein told Axl this time.  :hihi:

I wonder if they will just end up playing festivals or actually do a tour...

Lots of dates left, I think.  Looks like, from the span of dates, they'll be over there 4 or 5 weeks..and only about 1 or 2 weeks of that look booked.

now only if the album was announced and the gnr site updated so you know it's 100 percent true

I wouldn't hold your breath on the site update...

But I think we'll get a PR with full details on the tour and a release date for CD, and possibly, if the rumors are true, GH2.  Of course, just my speculation....And I think we'll get it relatively soon...but, then again, I've thought "soon" was the word for almost 2 weeks now...

:)

That gnr websiet sucks so much.... it's the worst site byu a major band for sure ?:crying:

Dublin and Poland are not festivals.

The Dublin Show is promoted by Download

Yeah yeah yeah... it sucks because I live in the U.S. and there's no dates...

Come on Gn'R!

Small mistake: it's not 05 but 06 (june  ;D)

Well I just copied it as it was.... sorry.

Fall, it looks like. ?With no dates announced, probably, til mid-summer-ish. ?I don't think they're even going to try to put a US tour together until they have some dates under their belt (and probably the album out) to "entice" US promoters into thinking Axl is both a good risk and can make them $$.

So, for us US residents, the waiting for actual live dates will probably continue.

promoted as part of Download? or just promoted by the same company?


We'll be waiting till October at the earliest for live shows here I'm guessing :nervous:

Yeah I know it. I just want to see Gn'R I've never seen them. Who here has?

2002 Boston : ok:

as with all things guns: 'it'll be worth the wait' :smoking:

I have...a whole bunch. ?Old Gnr (4 times, 3 as Headliners, 1 opening for Aerosmith) and New Gnr (1 on the '02 tour in Hartford).

The Foxboro, MA show (Faith No More, Metallica, GnR) back in '92 was the single best concert (and I've been to quite a few, back in the younger days) I've ever seen. All 3 bands were good, Metallica and Guns at the top of their game and height of their popularity.

Edit: Stupid me...forgot the New Haven show...which, if you knew my particulars, you would find very funny.

definately. i have never seen them and i have always wanted to, hopefully the dream will come true this summer! : ok:

Is the Poland show a festival?  I was under the impression it wasn't.

Yeah, I saw FNM, Metallica, & Guns in Orlando in September of 92.  Definitely the most amazing concer I've ever been to in my life.  FNM was at the top of their game, as was GNR.  Even Metallica did well - and I'm not a big Metallica fan.  (Well, the older stuff I like.. but like, Kill em' All / Ride The Lightning / Master of Puppets old)

And if the Norway-news is correct, there's one more date for the tour : ok: Here it goes!

what norway news?

The tour will last around 6 weeks as I understand it. Starting at Rio and ending in early July.

I'd expect about 15-20 European dates in total. I think they'll do Asia after that and eventually worh there way round the rest of the world before doing a US tour (probably in October/November time). Then they'll do the whole damn thing again and release the 2nd album.

Well, that last bit may be wishful thinking! ?:hihi:

Metallica actually played quite a bit of their older stuff, though the set was dominated by "The Black Allbum" material.

Our show was in Sept too. ?It had been postponed first because of Axl's throat problems, then again because of Hetfields injuries. ?He actually played guitar for the encore for the first time at our show,(Enter Sandman, of course) after his injuries, I think.

It was one long ass show, that's for sure. ?Started at about 3 PM or 4 PM (can't remember which) and we left the stadium after midnight...maybe even as late as 1 AM. ?The stage change from Metallica to Guns took for freaking EVER, because Metallica had to have that stupid pit in the middle of the stage that then had to be "closed up" for the Guns set!!! ?My one and only complaint about the show... :)

This is from the 'Belgium gig' -thread by Nytunz:

when i was booking tickets i remmber a Gif with Gnr Logo on it saying Download presents (i think as i cant find it now :confused:)

 :o is this for real??!
that would be a dream come true!!! :o

Yeah! I'll be going for sure!   :peace:

I really hope so. Then they could come to Finland and do a couple of shows ;)

Doug isn't here this time ?: ok: :hihi:

If this is going to work they need the album out before the tour. I am a huge fan and saw them in 2002 and have got my Dublin tickets but its no where near sold out yet, I think alot of people like me are not convinced about seeing another AFD tribute show.

Totally agree. The only possible chance we'll have is if they decide to play a short-notice warm up show at a smaller venue in Vegas, LA, New York...something like that.

I think, as long as there is a release date for the album out, and it's CLOSE to the tour dates (could be just after) AND they use the tour to "preview" CD in a BIG way....they'd be OK.

But, I agree...another AFD tour, with mostly AFD material, is not going to be well recieved, I think.  The fans might like it...I don't know...but the critics, and the US promoters who will be watching closely, will not.  But I think GnR and their management are smart enough to know that.

They will most likley play Rock Am ring /Im park.

Also Fortus has noca rock down as the 17th. Im just hoping for a london date a la 2002 on the 12th or 13th of June

I hope so

My gut tells me that we are going to get 1 big fat press release soon. Containing eveything we need to know including album info. I think GNR are just finalizing a lot of things right now, particularly tour dates and hopefully album details and promotions....

The only thing that scares me right now is GH2. Hopefully we dont get that.

Rock AM Ring/Rock Im Park isn't confirmed yet.

A London date is unlikely. Looks like Download may be the only UK date.

I think the download press release said that was the only UK date this summer. Don't know how accurate their info is.

I don't know...I rather like the idea of an "Axl approved" version of GH (which is, FYI, what I think GH2 will be). ?It will, probably, mean a GH with actual digital remasters/mixes of the original material, and not the old analog material resourced to digital, like the original GH was.

It will also probably address the omissions on the original GH that we all whined about. ?

I didn't buy the original GH (I couldn't see the point..I own it all already and it sounds the same) but can see certain circumstances where I'd buy GHII (those mentioned above, plus some possible "preview" tracks of CD...or new material NOT slated for CD...or demos' from CD like the ones that have leaked).

I've seen GNR 5 times as well.  4 times with the old lineup and once in Boston in December 2002 with current lineup including Buckethead.  I was at the Foxboro GNR/Metallica/FNM concert and it was by far the worst of the 5 GNR performances I saw.  The massive food fight between acts was fun, but Axl was pissed off at something and did a portion of the concert sitting down at the drum stand with no emotion whatsoever.  He was in a bad mood for whatever reason.  I feel bad for you Pilferk if that was the best GNR concert you ever say.

I also saw them back to back nights in Worcester, MA (very first two concerts after UYIs were released) and Soundgarden opened for them.  Those concerts were so much better than the stadium show in Foxboro.  I'd also say the Boston show with current lineup was better than the stadium show.  I just think Axl was going through the motions in Foxboro.  Metallica was far better that night (even though I don't like them anywhere near as much as GNR).  Definately not Axl's best performance.

Rock am Ring? Is there anybody in the know who confirmed that?
Belgium... maybe Roskilde... well i am in Germany and it seems like my old mercedes is about to eat some kilometres this summer

GUNS N' MOTHERFUCKING ROSES
FUCK FUCK FUCK  i am more exited than in 1991 

It has been a long rollercoaster wait

Axl i am proud of you :'(

someone who is in contact with people who organize rar. GNR are confirmed for RaR, but they decide to wait until they announcment..

that'll be so great if they would play there : ok:

About the thing about Guns holding a concert i Norway,

a friend told me last week that he had seen on a norwegian tv-program called "Absolutt Underholdning"
that Guns is to play in Bergen.

I guess we'll see if there's anything to it.

/Anesthesia

Really?? I don't remember the drum stand stuff at all.? I remember him running back and forth, back and forth, back and forth on that HUGE stage.? I do remember him getting pissed off at the VERY end of the show, when he threw roses into the crowd and some asshole grabbed one from out of a girl's hand (he was in his boxing attire at the time).? Lead to him cutting off the 3rd encore.

It's funny, because everyone I was with (2 of them who were with me at the OTHER 3 shows) all agree they thought the Foxboro concert was the best show they'd been to.? Still do, when we talk about it....Weird how opinions can differ.  What's also weird is the review on mygnrtour.com remembers things more my way: http://www.gnrontour.com/sets1992/19920911review.html.  Hell, even Axl thought it was a good show!  To each their own, I guess.

Now, I'll agree, it was not the best GnR show I've been to.? That would be the Hartford show in '93.? But that's cause I was partial to the acoustic set they did.

Hmm.. i dont know if that is valid, im sorry, i guess we would se it in the norwegian media then..
But Norway has become a very popular country for for artists to play, so there is a chance we would see
GNR play bouth in Begen and Oslo. Who knows.. Sabbath played 2 shows in Norway last year...

All signs point to a May/June release. I think we are all in good shape for single within weeks.

It's going to be a great summer :smoking:

I just remember it as being the worst of the 5 I've seen.? I also saw the tour with the acoustic set (Was it Dust and Bones I think?).? I saw them in Portland, ME and I would say it was a very good show, but not as good as the ones in Worcester, MA.? Also, the Boston show with the current lineup was incredible.

I think alot may have to do with outside things like your particular mood those nights, seat locations, songs played, etc.? As for what that website says, well you call definately tell it was written by someone who has never seen another GNR show so he has nothing to compare it to.? All I remember is Axl sitting down for 3 songs and going through the motions for a portion of the show.? I have never seen him do that at any other show.? Definately disappointed in their performance considering I saw the 1st two shows after UYIs dropped and the energy there both in the stands and by the band was absolutely amazing.? Beyond anything imaginable.

I'd still rather see GNR not at their best than anyone else at their best.? ?;)

Ok now there is some rumours going on that some reliable source has told that Guns n' Roses will perform in Helsinki, Finland in June, and that next week there will be an official announcement about this show. I dont know..

Toronto Canada 2002
Awsome fucking show man. This band kicked my ass that night. Before them I had only seen Pantera and everyone know how they kicked ass.
I think Axl sounded better than ever before to tell the truth.

Yeah Pantera puts on one if not the best fucking show on earth. I saw Guns at MSG.. Great show. I hope to see them again with new material and shit.

12 dates so far!!

when will there be an album then, early may at the latest??

so when for an announcement?

I think Summer/Fall.

Just out curiosity, with all these dates getting posted...why don't they update the website?  Hell if they need someone to do it..I'll do it :hihi: 

But for real anyone care to take a guess as to why they don't update the site with dates to finally update it with?

I gave up thinking about that one. It's just plain retarded.
