Title: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: chineseblues on May 20, 2007, 10:52:30 PM this email from Richard was just posted on my board, I have no idea if the dude who posted it was the guy who received the email or not.
Quote Hi Cody, THanks for checking in. There is talk about doing another string of Canadian dates but nothing confirmed. Our focus is going to be on doing these shows and setting up the release of the record. Can you send me a link to the forum? Thanks for your efforts and time. richard I asked about a rumor I heard of them coming to halifax .But release of record is cool to hear Thanks FortusFans.com http://www.thenewguns.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=2930 Add to that the fact that there are quite a few rumors floating around Newfoundland, Canada that the band are looking into booking a show here in August/September according. Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: LittleFly on May 20, 2007, 10:54:48 PM Add to that the fact that there are quite a few rumors floating around Newfoundland, Canada that the band are looking into booing a show here in August/September according. Does that mean that the band is going to come onstage and shout "BOO!!" at the crowd?? ???? :rofl: Canada isn't TOO far away from me..... Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future??

Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: downzy56 on May 21, 2007, 04:38:49 AM I love the attitude around here, and I'm starting to understand the angst our of our Australian/New Zealand brethren. The fact that GNR are playing period is exciting, whether it comes with news of an album release or not. Get over yourself. Accept the fact that certain people who live in the prescribed area are happy to hear news of a GNR show. The world, and GNR, does not revolve around you.

Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: gunns1 on May 21, 2007, 09:36:34 AM this is great news,
Fortus doesn't normally say something unless he thinks its the truth at the very least... Lets hope hes right, and that at least they are going/have filmed videos for the singles (thats the bit that I cant wait for the most, its going to be sweet having gnr vids) Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future??

Post by: GnR-NOW on May 21, 2007, 01:57:34 PM Setting up the release of the record....? :o means promo and video shoots i think.. do someone share that thought? Well to set up a release, one can logically assume that inorder to set up for the release that the album is done ? Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future??

Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: Jay Tea on May 22, 2007, 01:13:27 AM what would make sense is after the upcoming dozen or so shows they'll play this set in South Africa and South America which they haven't played yet wit the current line-up, then release CD, then play North America and Europe again supporting the album.
I expect to see them again this fall here (USA) not long after i get to buy Chinese Democracy. Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future??

Post by: thesloth on May 24, 2007, 01:57:06 AM Considering all the GnR shows sold out in Canada I am not surprised. Also from the reports and the show in Peg that I was at the Fans in Canada seemed more open to the all night party system then many of the U.S. venues. I would expect if GnR comes through Canada they will hit every province. Hard to say if Vancover will be in the card but some other cities are big enough. I also think that they will come to either Regina or more likly Saskaton because they have a larger venue. I already am saving up for the next GnR road trip regardless cause the show in Peg was truly amazing

The Quebec venue looked packed. /jarmo I'm just going by what the ticket sites said "Sold out". By the time the show started and last minute tickets were sold it could have very well been sold out as well. Loved when Axl turnaround at the end of the Calgary show and said, "there's a fuck load of you up there". a. Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future??

Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: irishtwilight on June 03, 2007, 11:56:25 PM Any word yet on them ever playing Montreal again? It would be a huge show for sure.
Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: JeffK on June 04, 2007, 12:07:39 AM They sold out 5 Canadian shows. Halifax, Quebec City, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Edmonton. Canada LOVES their GNR!!
Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: kyrie on June 04, 2007, 02:01:48 AM I think Halifax and Calgary were the official sellouts.
Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Quebec City were damn close, and the St. Johns NB show was the only smaller one (small area though so cool of them to hit it). But a non-sellout in Toronto was still about 18,000 people! It's a big arena. If GNR are going to do another leg in Canada, I'd suggest: London, ON (sold out in 2002) Hamilton, ON (close enough to Toronto to get some people to drive. Tool is playing 2 nights there, their first show sold out) Montreal, QC St. Johns NFLD Regina, SK Vancouver BC and/or Victoria BC (Dunno if Vancouver would be possible after 2002) Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: JeffK on June 04, 2007, 02:07:32 AM Not Regina...I live in Saskatoon and we have an arena that holds 15,000 for concerts. Regina's arena only holds about 5,000. If they come through Saskatchewan it will definately be Saskatoon. I also went to the Edmonton show in December and I think it sold out the night of the concert if I'm not mistaken...But if it wasn't technically sold out it was close enough.

Regina has Mosaic staduim we can fit 40 000 there ;) Your right if GnR was to play it would be in Stoon although I think 15 000 is a little high for seating I could be wrong but I thought it was aroun 10-12. The Brandt center is about 7000 for shows. Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future??

There is no St. Johns NB - St. John's is in Newfoundland, Saint John is in NB. Also, regarding it not selling out - it would have if they had not booked Halifax two months before they announced the Saint John show (we all went to Halifax!) Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: Ganja4Life on June 04, 2007, 09:13:47 PM the Saint John show was amazing!! :)..front row :drool:
Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: Mark7955 on June 04, 2007, 11:50:47 PM I hope they come back to Halifax! Great show...Plus...home of their new best friends the Trailer Park Boys...perfect fit...we would just need Bach to come along this time ;D
Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: ibelieveinaxl on June 05, 2007, 01:55:53 AM they can hit canada in the fall without a cd release. they will not tour the US unless the cd is out...

Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: banachkevin on June 05, 2007, 10:43:48 AM saskatoom is about 14500 iam sure, and edmonton was a sell out
Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: Malcolm on June 05, 2007, 10:45:11 AM They will not tour the U.S or Canada without the cd being in stores, not even a release date, in stores...Although I'd still go, it wont happen
Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: Jackamo! on June 05, 2007, 03:08:59 PM Halifax was "solded out" but there was lots and lots of emtpy chairs and space.
Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future??

Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: agropolus on June 06, 2007, 10:26:33 AM They will not tour the U.S or Canada without the cd being in stores, not even a release date, in stores...Although I'd still go, it wont happen I'm pretty sure they would do it, no problem. They've done it twice already. Yeah, and I'd go to any concert too, even with no album out, but I don't think that the album release is a "pre-condition" for any kind of tours right now... Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: ryan_of_lax on June 06, 2007, 11:40:34 AM Hahaha... after last years "Pre-CD tour," people said they'd never tour again without the CD being released.
Well look where we are yet again... I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they tour the States and Canada yet again playing practically the same setlist as 2001.

Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: irishtwilight on June 06, 2007, 05:33:57 PM I don't care if the album's out or not, I just want them to play Montreal again.
Title: Re: More Canadian shows in near future?? Post by: guns_n_motley on June 06, 2007, 07:49:05 PM I think they will focus on the cd after these dates like what Robin said
