City Beat: You guys canceled a show this week. Is there a story behind that?

Richard Fortus: In Albany? No. There was no drama or anything like that. There were permit issues with the building and the venue. We have a huge production and it is very heavy. The production, it has to be supported and we have to feel safe about it and it has to be within their restrictions and that didn?t work out. They tried to resolve everything. We have had this issue a few times in different venues and it has been resolved and we were just not able to resolve it there.

That kinda proves my point!  Shouldn't management or the venue know what their dealing with before they agree?  Shouldn't management know how big their production is, and how much it weighs, and make sure that the venue can host something like a GnR show?  And shouldn't the venue do a little research and know if they can handle a GnR show before they book them?

Yeah someone on one end or the other isn't doing their job right! And Axl always ends up getting blamed! What the hell? It's bullshit no one questions any other acts when this happens.

Guns N' Roses

Pardon the lack of brevity here as there are a few noteworthy items -

First, as reported via local press in Memphis and directly to fans where
possible, the Southaven show on Monday, December 5th has been canceled. Refunds are available at all points of authorized purchase.

As for all the self-indulgent so-called "likes" of GN'R who find it convenient and seemingly their life's purpose and public outcry for glorification to rag on this page and all over the internet about THE VERY PEOPLE that deliver GUNS N' ROSES, especially the plant-heads ( IQ maybe that of the fern in the room) who took aim on the last facebook post - this photo from US Bank Arena should undoubtedly give you a better bad obsession. BTW the NATI folks and show ROCKED on all counts! AND FOR THE RECORD cause "shirley" some self serving propagandists will find a twisted meaning or scrabble the words way of interpreting this post - we deeply appreciate everyone that supports GUNS N' ROSES.

Finally and foremost - NASHVILLE - we look forward to rockin' the roof off your Bridgestone Arena with Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society a bit later today!

That's all folks!

Well my brother took the tickets to the box office and got a refund. He asked why the show was canceled and they said they weren't allowed to talk about it. HA!!

This was going to be my first GNR show but oh well maybe next time.
