Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Guns N' Roses are gearing up to play their first shows since the release of their long overdue sixth studio album, Chinese Democracy, last November.The band have already confirmed a number of Canadian shows - which are being billed as Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy World Tour - which kick off in Winnipeg on January 13 and conclude in Halifax on February 4.

According to US mag Rolling Stone, before the Canadian dates, the band will head to Taiwan, Korea and Japan in December.

European dates are expected to be officially announced shortly.

That's just brilliant!  :D

Maybe Europe as soon as february/march then?

maybe

To me...a US spring tour then Europe during the Summer to hit all the festivals makes most sense..

Yes, even if an announcement could be coming soon, the concerts might not take place until the summer.

But if the announcement comes this year, it opens up to the possibility of the shows taking place earlier. I don't really mind when they're coming, just that they are coming.   :)

that make alot of sense

Taiwan, Korea and Japan in December
13 Canadian dates in January half of February
a break
European dates in the summer
u.s. dates in the fall

maybe that the plan

maby they wont play much us dates to hard to sell out a show there. people dont like rock music there, unless you concider miley cirus??? a hard rock actlol

I think South America probably is much higher priority than the States at this moment. I could see a Fall tour in the US after they build hype and regain some credibility and reliability with promoters.

Being from the US, I'm just hoping that US is next after Canada.

Maybe...

another vote for south america in spring (or will it be fall there?)

South America STADIUM TOUR please.
They would SELL OUT

Ivette Sangalo, Foo Fighters, Faith No More and... GN'R... for next Rock In Rio Lisbon 5/29/2010?  ???

This guy is ridiculous. Don't believe anything you read about Rock in Rio untill it is totally confirmed

NOT Europe, Please...

South America.. Fukin' GUNS !!!

Hey, you just watch what you're saying about Miley.  She's one of our national treasures.

Not Europe? It would be cool Europe AND South America.

They should come to New Zealand in our summer, which would be after the Canadian dates, give 'em a chance to warm up and get a tan. :yes:

Couldn't that have been added by anyone?

i think so...

there's no real indication of that happening. as far as i know, GN'R weren't being considered for the Lisbon Edition of the festival a couple of weeks ago. but things do change, so who knows.

But that site alone is no reason for us to believe gn'r will be in the festival because of two simple reasons.

A) no headliner has been announced yet

B) Anyone could've posted that information on that site, because it's not linked in any way to the organization of the festival and it's more wishful thinking than anything else. The bands they say are just bands that played RIR Before, so i wouldn't read too much into that.

I would rather see GN'R on a STADIUM tour instead of festivals.

It's embarrassing to see GN'R and Ivete Sangalo at the same showbill.

And i's even more embarrassing to see that Ivete Sangalo can get more public than GN'R

That's right. Altough I'd be happy to see them anywhere, but if I could choose it would be arenas/stadiums.

For as much as I like to say how much GnR has a huge fan base in Brazil - and it does, we can sell out stadiums - I prefer if they played smaller venues with more dates - like the Canadian dates. It's a really intelligent choice!

In Brazil, our stadiums were built for soccer and only two/three of them have structure to host a concert as big as GnR, so asking Guns to do stadiums here would mean asking them to do only S?o Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. All other stadiums are terrible for concerts. For example, Axl wouldn't want to play Belo Horizonte's "Mineir?o" Stadium knowing the fame it has to have awfully bad audio spread. This is something the concert promoters in Brazil are aware of and now they prefer to get the international bands to play mini-tours, doing arenas with 10 to 20,000 people capacity, playing a lot more dates throughout the country.

1 - It is more profitable than the traditional two stadium concerts for them;
2 - A lot more people get to go to the concert (not everyone can afford to go to S?o Paulo or Rio just to see a band);
3 - A smaller venue means fans get closer to the band, have a better stage view, have more comfort and a better overall experience.

The advantages are many to both sides so why not? Why be bragging about us being capable of selling out stadiums, if stadium concerts are a worse experience, not accessible to everyone in the country, and our promoters are all for doing the mini-tours instead?

I'd say leave the stadiums for the festivals, and bring Guns to do a mini-tour in Brazil like they're doing in Canada  : ok:

This is great news for us in Europe! :) Hope it will be announced soon, and yes I agree that touring Europe during summer and play at festivals makes much more sense!   : ok:

So, I really hope this will be chance for my home festival EXIT!  :peace:

Well, they don't need to play in stadiums  to play for big crowds.
I don't know in Belo Horizonte, but here in Sao Paulo we have Interlagos, that's much bigger than Morumbi Stadium (the only shit it's if it rain, soo,  it would be like "Lame" Maiden concert). And ir Rio there's the City of Rock.
But again, it still on the SP-Rio thing

Exactly, only Rio and S?o Paulo... I know a lot of GnR fans from here (Belo Horizonte, which is relatively close to SP/Rio) but also a lot from the northeast and north of Brazil who really can't afford to get to the southeast to watch a Guns concert. Only a few 100 or so will go through all this effort of traveling - while if Guns goes to their cities they will sell out a 10,000 seats arena in a flash. It's like asking someone who lives in Florida to attend a concert in California. It's way too far. Just look at the map. Guns would never do one only concert in the U.S., so why do it this way here?

Brazil is not that economically crippled country anymore, our promoters can afford to have international bands do mini-tours here.

Only speculation at this point but god, that would be a great Chistmas present! : ok: :yes:
