About the 2006 Spanish shows

The real reason Axl didnt play RIR 4 is because VR were asked to play if GNR came.

If this is true, then GNR will never perform again. VR are one of the top rock bands of this era, and they aren't fading anytime soon.

The real reason? Please.. you don't have a clue so don't pretend that you do.

Plus, if they ever played at the same gig.. VR would be opening down the appearance list somewhere below GN'R.

True, but a VR/GNR bill would have a 'battle of the bands' aura surrounding it. As we know, Axl doesn't seem to like pressure very much.

It happens every year, although I have a feeling we wont be riding that merry go round much longer. We'll either get CD in 2006, or most people will give up and not give a fuck anymore. CD is in critical condition, and 2006 is its only life support.

OOPS- forgot to mention GNR being rumored to be involved in every sound track to every movie that is released in 2006. 

Please add 100 more rumors to 2006 (already have DaVinci Code) - check

Anyways, back on topic, is there any news about this speculation on the spanish web site?

I'm pretty sure its 100% pure bullshit.

There's definitely a certain amount of truth to the rumours about the Spanish shows. Enquiries are being made but no more than that at this stage.

Wait and see what happens with Rio, if that happens then a European tour will take place and Pino Sagliocco will be involved in the organisation of that. Rock Im Park's a possibility too although MLK won't talk about it at present.

Mike's right. The only legit possibility is Rio. But just because GNR does Rio doesn't mean a European tour is gonna happen.

Really? Well in 2004 they pencilled in other dates before and after Rio although they never materialised due to the Axl press release. Why don't you check the wording of that press release and go over some of the threads from that era regarding Rock Im Park and other European festivals/dates.?

2006 looks like being an exact copy of 2004 in terms of dates they are looking to book. Only this time hopefully we won't get a press release announcing that they are pulling out. Don't make judgements on GnR in 2006 until Rock Im Park and Rock in Rio headliners are announced some time in the new year and I definitely suggest checking out what involvement Pino Sagliocco (the Spanish promoter talked about on Rafabasa) had in the cancelled 2004 "European Tour".

  If it's even remotely factual that they're looking in/in the process of booking a summer tour around europe, axl and his management must be

a) reasonably confident nobody is leaving the band soon

b) that they'll have some new product to offer when the tour starts

 You'd also think that they'd be entering into rehearsal mode no later than April-I can't imagine you'd go on tour with less than 3 months rehearsal time (though I'm not in the industry nor am I a musician so I really don't know).

Either way, most of these big festivals start announcing no later than march-so i imagine we'll know whats up before the end of the first quarter of the year.

you forgot the superbowl.... any day or week now some jackass will post that Axl will "pop out and suprise the world" with a show at the superbowl....

Play theatres.

So why playing small theatres when 50.000 people want to see you?

Uhhh who said 50,000 want to see them. They couldn't even sell out 20,000 last time around. And just randomly how is Chinese Democracy going to sell 15 million copies. Green Day has a much bigger fan base (at least in the US) and there American Idiot Cd didn't cell close to 15 million

If any of you think this is remotely close to being true, you need to have your head examined as you are as delusional as Axl.

Funny how things turned out to be... huh?

Sagliocco is well known for opening his mouth before he should. This was the first real sign of a GnR summer tour, and when he mentioned it to rafabasa I was 99% confident the tour would go ahead.

Well ... what can I say?

I told ya. 

[WARose]

i love the thousandth of rumors that actually comes true

Well, since I did it, I guess I have to explain it a bit...

I searched for the Spain thread cause I wanted to find links to buy tickets. And when I read that post I couldn't resist...
