Guns N? Roses to perform in India

Lakshmi Govindrajan

The Asian Age

Guns N? Roses are playing in India. Pinch yourself, because this isn?t a dream! After decades of speculation and rumours about coming to India, the American rock band will perform in Bengaluru on November 7 at the Palace Grounds.

Confirming this news, Raj Sinha, director of Rhapsody Inc., the company that is organising the concert said, "Yes, it is true that we are bringing Guns N? Roses to India. As of now I can tell you that the Bengaluru concert has been confirmed. We?re still in talks with people in Mumbai and Delhi, so let?s hope that works out. However, there is a good chance we can take the band to Shillong as well. The band was supposed to have played there on September 19, but for some reason it didn?t work out."

Dubbed as Axl and Friends, the band has seen major transformation over the years and the only founding member to be a part of the current lineup is vocalist Axl Rose. While other famous members like Slash, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan left the band citing various differences, Axl remained. The band finally released the album Chinese Democracy with newer members in 2008. The album was in the making for around 15 years and was much awaited, though it received a timid response.

"I can confirm that Axl Rose and Dizzy Reed will be there. DJ Ashba, their latest entrant, will be there. There will also be a person called Troy and two other members," said Sinha. Rhapsody Inc. is a venture of Chromosome Production Pvt. Ltd, a company that has organised concerts of musicians like A.R. Rahman and Jagjit Singh. This is the company?s first international venture. Let?s hope for all our sakes, this one really works out"

Sources say date is 7th November 2009.

kthxbai

The more (non yet confirmed) tourdates are comming, the more I believe it will happen... seems like 2002 ;-)

C'mon Gunners, let's rock the world once more!!

 :peace:

Scan of the article over at http://www.gnrdaily.com/news_detail.asp?id=2201

WTF? now that's interesting  ;D

Troy??

Jarmo, It's true or false this rumour?

Guns World is different.  : ok:

Who the hell is Troy ? .  According to the info confirmed by the comnpany  representative  the line up is composed only  by 6 members (Troy + Dizzy + Axl+DJ Ashba + the two guys ), so there are two guys missing from the  old line up .  
This should be the less reliable info ever published

Anyway this gig in India  does not seem the best of the ideas . Would n?t it be a better idea to start the tour in a proper way in USA or   Europe rather than dealing  with an Indian company who has never organized  an  international event ?

do you know about international artists playing in India?

Rolling Stones in Mumbai - 55000 attendance
Deep Purple in Mumbai 50000 attendance
Iron Maiden in Bangalore - 35000 attendance
Megadeth in India - 26000 attendance


to name a few. 

Sounds like a confused promoter.

Troy? The only "GN'R related" person with that name I can come up with is Troy Patrick Farrell who's played with Dizzy....



/jarmo

Either they mean Tommy when they say Troy, they're talking out of their asses, or Richard has been replaced by Troy Van Leeuwen without anyone noticing.

PS - that third option was not a serious one.

Does Troy have a last name or is he like Madonna?  If that comment wasn't in the article I'd be more apt to believe this, but that's a tough one.  The website is down now.  Doesn't look very likely.  Maybe they're just checking their facts, which they should've done in the first place.

Interesting, I posted this earlier but now with these articles...Troy Patrick Farrell is from White Lion.

Guns N? Roses in Dimapur?

Sept. 1 2009

I?ve checked my media sources in Delhi and Bangalore, and just a few hours ago, Oregon new south and Los Angeles. The group?s tour managers made no mention of an India date either, leave alone Dimapur but the scent is still strong.   

But, wait, repeat, but wait, there are persuasive info that it?s actually a US supergroup with members drawn from Alice Cooper, Guns N? Roses and White Lion for a Dimapur show. Phew.  The trail has led to a Dimapur-based events management group which is rigging up the this-and-thats for the rockers. Yes, plans are on and lots of super top-secret 10 PM meetings are on. Watch this space, man, watch this space.

http://www.morungexpress.com/frontpage/32261.html

So basically, what they're advertising as a GN'R show in fact... isn't at all?
Sounds like it could actually be a show to promote Dizzy's solo album.

Sounds like that to me, the bold part would be enough information for me to dismiss this.

there must be some serious mixup on the part of the indian promoters.  :hihi:

paris was a prince of troy who chose the most beautiful woman over the control of all of asia and troy is in turkey and paris is in france.

who the fuck is troy  lolz

maybe a new hired muppet

Probably a miscommunication due to the language barrier.  They do genuinely seem to believe they've booked Guns N' Roses.

ofcourse the promoter will say gnr did  cancel last minute
and sad part is the press will believe that to

Here is a photo of the article...

GUNS N' ROSES To Perform In India? - Sep. 9, 2009

According to The Asian Age, GUNS N' ROSES will perform in Bengaluru, India on November 7 at the Palace Grounds.

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=126643

a cool  stage shot.

strange that they picked this (confirmed i'd say) false one and not that unconfirmed one.  ???

it is obviously hookers and blow..
dizzy reed- gnr
roy patrick farrel (drums)- white lion
eric dover (have been one of the guitarist of the band and laos plays with dizzy with slim jim in the cat club) - ex slash snakepit and ALICE COOPER


other guitarists that have played with Alice Cooper and are GNR related are Keri Kelli and Ryan Roxie


mistery solved

Troy Patrick Farrel from White Lion.

Ryan Roxie is ex Alice Cooper.

Troy to be drum replacement and Roxie apparently auditioned for Robin's spot a few months back so maybe he got called back to take on Fortus's role.

Boy. That would sure suck.

Let's wait for the big news ourself before launching more stupid rumours into this world already.
we got enough at the moment.

sad part is GNR could tell let us know immediately if this stuff is true or not
but for some sort of reason that aint possible...

the thread title says false so it's pretty much confirmation that it's not true i think.

 ::)

If we can get over the loss of Izzy Stradlin and Slash, I think we can do without Richard Fortus.

Thankz FM... ever Good Info.

 :beer:

It was said to be false and then we got this article. All a normal day in GNR world  :rofl:

What's so good about false info?




/jarmo

the pic?  :P

Beatiful:

 :smoking:

maybe details are still being worked out and they dont want to say anything until plans are finalized?   If these dates don't happen, that means they didn't work out.  Its pretty simple.

According to The Asian Age, GUNS N' ROSES will perform in Bengaluru, India on November 7 at the Palace Grounds.

Raj Sinha, director of Rhapsody Inc., the company that is organizing the concert, said, "Yes, it is true that we are bringing GUNS N' ROSES to India.

However, there is a good chance we can take the band to Shillong as well."

He added, "I can confirm that Axl Rose [vocals] and Dizzy Reed [keyboards] will be there. DJ Ashba [guitar], their latest [addition], will be there. There will also be a person called Troy and two other members."

Rhapsody Inc. is a venture of Chromosome Production Pvt. Ltd, a company that has organized concerts by musicians like A.R. Rahman and Jagjit Singh. This is the company's first international venture.

lol there is already a big topic bout this

probably meant Tommy. Stupid promoter probably didnt look up the rest of the band

yeah with gnr stuff always needs to be finalized in the last bits
lol even last minute they put litle bits into cd

Well I heard they were performing in the North Pole on Dec. 25th 2008.....but it never happened. That was an expensive trip too.  ::)

Geez. I don't know how many ways one can say this....


Does it matter who this Troy is? The show isn't happening.





/jarmo

I would say in the GNR world we can trust Jarmo's word when he says it ain't happening over some promoter in Bengalfuck, India.

so he should close the thread and end all speculation

sure this one is fake still have faith in those other asian dates
what is ya saying in that jarmo?

I did. Yesterday.

What happened?

People kept posting new thread about the show!




I'm saying this one is false and the Asian dates haven't been confirmed by GN'R.



/jarmo

we are oin the same level then  :love:

yeah, and there's no way gnr would need three drummers.  two is company, but three is a crowd!   :beer:

at least the promotor aitn that confused he is saying slash and axl will be there lol :beer:

haha exactly! or post a picture of UK Guns N Roses in their article instead of the actual Guns N Roses like a newspaper in florida did a few years back when promoting a show down there.  As far as fake/poor info GNR articles go, i have seen worse...at least the picture looks good... :hihi:

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

On-Topic...

And Well...

This Thread... OPEN Or CLOSED ??

 :smoking:

Yeah, it's looking like MyGNR! Eric already closed 3 tours "official" topics....but sitll are many others up! haha  :rofl:

Wow--haven't been to this board since the Hookers N Blow days where I would occasionally post as HNB--

Nonetheless--it's nice to wake up one day reading you're in some way involved with Guns N Roses.  (just not when it's a nasty rumor)

Let me be the 1st to say I am not in GNR and although I was working some dates for India, it was NOT with AXL, I would NEVER state that
I represent AXL or GNR.

How silly is that thought?

The dates in India were to be with Dizzy Reed, Eric Dover (Slash's SnakePit) and myself as well as Gilby Clarke's Bassist Muddy Stardust.  Those dates moved to
October (NOT NOVEMBER and not in the city of Bengaluru) and Dizzy Reed CAN NOT and WILL NOT be in India for any event as far as I am aware of.  At least not any event involving me.  (Kids, don't try to read into that, but I simply don't speak for GNR in anyway, shape or form).


This rumor is the result of an overzealous promoter that mixed up information.  I have spoken my direct contacts in India to confirm that they in no way shape or form alluded to the fact that AXL or any version of GNR would perform in India.

Irving Azoff is their manager and all GNR related events go thru him, not me.

I don't know who Rhapsody Inc is, nor do I know or have ever been in contact directly with Chromosome Production Pvt. Ltd.

I love GNR rumors as much as the next one, just not one that can some how thru a few degrees of separation involve me.

If all goes as planned, I will be in INDIA 9/30 and 10/3 and the line up will be confirmed when it comes from my mouth, no one elses.

If GUNS is playing in India at any time, I have nothing to do with it in any degree.

Thank you for reading---this is the only place that will get a reply for now as I'm a huge Jarmo fan and HTGTH fan.

I will now go back to my life of "who the fuck is Troy?"

Thanks a lot for the clarification!

Another clarification...

GUNS N' ROSES Not Playing India In November... Or Any Other Month - Sep. 9, 2009

WHITE LION drummer Troy Patrick Farrell, who also plays in HOOKERS 'N' BLOW with GUNS N' ROSES keyboardist Dizzy Reed, has shot down reports that GUNS N' ROSES will perform in India in November. He says in a statement, "The dates in India were to be with Dizzy Reed, Eric Dover (SLASH'S SNAKEPIT) and myself as well as Gilby Clarke's bassist Muddy Stardust. Those dates moved to October (NOT NOVEMBER and not in the city of Bengaluru) and Dizzy Reed CANNOT and WILL NOT be in India for any event as far as I am aware of. At least not any event involving me. (Kids, don't try to read into that, but I simply don't speak for GN'R in any way, shape or form)."

He adds, "This rumor [about GUNS N' ROSES playing India] is the result of an overzealous promoter that mixed up information. I have spoken my direct contacts in India to confirm that they in no way shape or form alluded to the fact that Axl [Rose] or any version of GN'R would perform in India.

"Irving Azoff is their manager and all GN'R-related events go through him, not me.

"I don't know who Rhapsody Inc. [the Indian promoter that claims to be bringing GUNS N' ROSES to India] is, nor do I know or have ever been in contact directly with Chromosome Production Pvt. Ltd.

When The Children Cry Troy ??

Thanks By Info Man... Good Luck

 : ok:

I'm still not completely clear on who Troy is.  Am I to understand he was/is the drummer for White Lion?  I dig them.  I do know that was very cool of him to clear the air and squash this rumor.  People were starting to come up with their crazy conspiracy theories again.  And Troy seems like a cool and humorous dude. 

Thanks a lot Troy.

Troy is an extremely cool dude, who has played with a bunch of people, including the re-formed White Lion and Hookers, etc.  Very down to earth, honest, and not arrogant.  As you can tell by his post.  And a very solid drummer too.

i agree. awesome to get that clarification. he seems like a cool mofo. and a guns fan as well.

Thanks Troy!

GNR is *NOT* playing in India in Nov.
11 minutes ago from web

Thanks Ron!

So if you know they're not, does that mean you know because they have you tied up doing something else for GNR in November?   ;D

Sorry you jumped in, right?

Thanks Troy and Thanks Ron.  :beer:

thank you so much for shedding light.


and again they nicked it from here without sourcing it. where is the manners?

"If GUNS is playing in India at any time, I have nothing to do with it in any degree".

mmmm...

I saw this posted... :no:

Here?s what we knew about the Guns N? Roses India tour till yesterday

   1. Mysterious Indian classical music and real estate event promoter Rhapsody Inc set up a website that claimed Guns N? Roses would play the Palace     Grounds, Bangalore on November 7.
   2. When we asked the company about the gig, they said all would be revealed on September 15.
   3. The site was then taken down for about 12 hours.
   4. When it came back up, the Nov 7 date had been removed and the phone number of the company?s Bangalore office had been taken off as well.

If you click on the link now it reads "rhapsody inc we'll soon be back".
