GN'R tour Jan/Feb....

[Cristina]

actually i'm gonna play there tonight! my band, kidnap (www.kidnaprocks.com) is gonna open for whitesnake!
and i know that they already have a contract with the biggest promoter in portugal - "musica no cora??o".
i don't know the exact date though.

Hey, I went to that show! I was right up front, just one person away from the guy who shouted for Guns N' Roses.
Your band put on a cool show and it's great you got the opportunity to open for Whitesnake.
Congrats! 

Anyway, back on topic....  I hope you're right about GNR coming to Portugal again... after the RIR4 cancellation and all...

[DemocracyRose]

Grabaraxl say something.....

Come on...

[grabaraxl]

i know that there's a contract already signed. the band is booked to play here, and that's part of an european tour.
this is not what i'm thinking, it's really things that are on paper.
i'll try to find out the date. i'm super curious about it as well!


cristina, thanks for the compliments on the show! it was great. we did a cover of "it's so easy". i'm the lead singer/guitarrist in kidnap. next time say hello to me, it's always cool to meet a gn'r fan!

Hey man, great... I believe you.

[grog mug]

When and where is this release date exactly?  If they're booking shows already shouldn't we hear something like the big RIR4 annoucement that they eventually cancelled?  How do you know this, and is it confirmed garbaxl??

[grabaraxl]

i got the news from the promoter himself. as i said, a contract is already signed, just like the rock in rio situation, but the promoter is diferent - actually there was a big rivality between him and the rir staff, so this is a little revenge.

now, this part is just what i think that's happening - i'm sure they're still adding more dates to the tour, and when they have the final schedule they'll have give us the info about the tour.

[jarmo]

From what I heard, there seemed to be some activity earlier in the year for a possible tour in December. I guess that got pushed back until early 2005.

I haven't heard anything new since the rumored December dates.

I'm thinking we'll hear something around November/December about what's going on.  Maybe the whole GN'R saga and recording process will be explained once Axl decides to come out again.

[Christos AG]

Could anyone check if the tour's going to happen in March? Cause a little bird told me so...

I'm not checking on tour info for gnr this time around, but it would be a good idea if those who have info, state it and also send Jarmo some proof so you can all centralise/pool your information

[Christos AG]

I can't state this info cause it's not 100% sure and I don't like lies. I'll just take it as a rumour.

I know it's too soon to check about the tour, I just thought I'd give in my 2 cents about it.

Besides, we'll know when it's time to know... ;-)

[grog mug]

So now it's being pushed back to March?  I thought it was all happening Jan/Feb?!

wembley stadium? really? that would be amazing!
can somebody check this info? For my part I wrote to Admin, I will see if he has more informations.

[AdZ]

More like wembley arena.

[nesquick]

wembley what?? for me Wembley is wembley, the 80.000 people stadium capacity. what is wembley arena? and how many seats does it contain?

[Will]

Wembley Arena is a smaller venue (around 11,500 seats), in London as well. Wembley Stadium has a 76,000 capacity.

Don't forget Wembley Stadium is a football/soccer venue, where as the arena is a music venue.

[jarmo]

The new Wembley Stadium is still being built. They tore the old one down a few years ago.



/jarmo

[Will]

Yep, it should have a 90,000 maximum capacity.

You can play music in stadiums. and GN'R did it back in the days. So there is no way it could be wembley stadium? Maybe later after the album is released....I hope. I love big stadium shows, it's spectacular. I'm sure GN'R can sell out wembley stadium especially since the pretty big success of the GH in the UK. They can do it.

[Will]

I meant "primarily" football/soccer venue, meaning its main usage is for sports (unlike the arena). Of course you can play music in stadiums, GN'R did it a lot of times in the 90's. They can play again in stadiums for festivals, but no one knows if they can fill a stadium on their own now, like in the good ol' days.
