Tommy Stinson got thumbs up and approval from Axl and the rest of Guns N Roses for his solo album... There's cool video of Tommy at www.artisannewsservice.com and he talks about the process.  Cool stuff. Anyone know when Guns will hit the road?

Tommy Stinson, bass player of Guns N Roses released his solo album, Village Gorilla Head July 27th but only with the support of his bandmates of Guns N Roses. While Tommy was in the studio working on his solo project, fellow band members were working along side him. However, Tommy?s bandmates weren?t only working with Tommy for his album; they were also working on Guns N Roses' new album, Chinese Democracy which is scheduled to be released within the year.

As Tommy juggled two albums, Village Gorilla Head and Chinese Democracy, he said he's grateful for the support of singer Axl Rose and the rest of the band.

 ?The only reason I was able to make this record was that I had the support of him and the other band members to do that sort of thing and because we had the down time for me to do it; it didn?t really conflict with anything. You know, I kinda got the best of both worlds with that. Like I can go tour right now and take care of my own business until that thing is ready to be done and then well go out on the road with that. I get to be bass player in that and right around the time I?m sick of being with myself.?

 

Tommy Stinson is currently touring through mid-September. A Guns N' Roses tour is being planned late in the year or early next year.

So, the rumour about the dec/jan tour is true? And about the CD release date...? 
It's great to see Tommy out there, doing his stuff. I think he's a great musician and, like Izzy, can be the band's gear.

Thanks for posting the transcript, i couldn't be bothered to sign up. 

RockNMouth might you be working for this site?  Your only other email was promoting the same Tommy interview.

Thanks for posting - hopefully this is true........

I'm going to see Tommy on the Craig Kilborn show today.  Taping starts at 4:30 I think.  I'm hoping to get there early and stick around after and try and talk to him.  I feel really bad asking him stuff though. I know they are all tired of it but if I do get the chance to talk to him I'm gonna ask if the Nov release dates may be true and if the dec tour may happen.   I'll keep it quick and to the point.

I know he's tired of the questions.

I'm going to see Tommy on the Craig Kilborn show today.? Taping starts at 4:30 I think.? I'm hoping to get there early and stick around after and try and talk to him.?

I know he's tired of the questions.

please dude just compliment his solo record and leave out the GNR questions, he isnt gonna tell u anything, he will say "its almost finished" or it will be coming out in the near future, etc etc

now is tommy's time to shine and get props and recognition, so I think he'd appreciate a fan that didnt ask about CD, cause obviously he isnt allowed to say anything

[youngerformofaxl]

No, ask questions, we need information.

[Ted Nugent]

Someone who actually interviewed Tommy is saying there will be a tour soon.  I think this can be counted as a credible source.

We have multiple sources of information all pointing towards GN'R activity at the end of the year.  On there own alot of these reports could be dismissed but together they make a pretty compelling case that something is happening.

No, ask questions, we need information.

Asking questions and getting answers to those are two completely different things.

Hmm i'd LOVE if they did things like 1000+/1500+ venues, I'll imagine they'll either do Hammersmith/Brixton for london, heres hopeing they do lil' venues and do like a 10 date tour of england. I'd go to as many as i could!

I wanted to contact the woman who did the interview with Tommy, Jessica Ponder, but her e-mail address is not listed on Artisan's website.? However, Darren Davis' e-mail address is.? So, I e-mailed him asking if there was a? way of contacting Jessica Ponder because I was curious about her interview with Tommy.? Here's what he said:

"Thanks Ali,
 
There's no exact details as of yet, but we'll be posting something in the next week about Guns N' Roses' status and what's happening."

Hopefully we'll get some type of status report next week.? It might not be anything really new or insightful, but you never know?
