Yea, I got a call from tickets.com telling me that the Velvet Revolver concert in May is canceled.  How grand.  Actually had a chance to see a few of the old GN'R guys for the first time in my life...thanks guys.  beer

Yea, this is due to "scheduling conflicts with the band."  At least I get a refund.

About a handful, which I believe a majority were made up..

11 shows cancelled that tickets had been on sale for that weren't/haven't been made up or rescheduled?

Documentation please.

As an aside, what the fuck does not having hit the 2 million mark (I assume you mean stateside, they're well over that worldwide) have to do with your premise, or lack thereof?

By two million mark I meant it has not sold even two million copies in the U.S, VR are cancelling shows when they should be playing them and trying to get more fans.

You understand that you really have no point, right?

Do you know how many shows VR has played "this early in their career"?  And can you list all of these cancelled shows for us?  Id like to see where the 11 number came from...

Looks as though 11 went to 9 rather quickly and if I'm correct, there's a number of those 9 that tickets were never put on sale for...

Ticket information please.

hahaha. Classic.


Anyway, VR have done a hell of a lot of shows in the short time they've been together.

They're ALLOWED to have scheduling conflicts once in a while.

Yeah, Im pretty sure most, if not all of those dates never were never actually made official.

Edit: Falcon and I are right. 

Nov. 10 Spectrum Philadelphia, PA
Nov. 22 Air Canada Centre  Toronto, ONT, Canada 
Dec. 11 The Mansion  Miami Beach, FL  (This was played)

I suspect the rest are just as inaccurate as the above.

and fuck you btw

 hihi

Just to let you know, VR have performed approximately 120 shows, nearly all within the past year.? And theyll reach about 200 by summer.?

Speaking of invalid points....as if your record sales point wasnt assinine enough, you tried tying in US sales to? these supposed cancellations when 1/3 of them are actually outside of the US.? ? ok

VR have cancelled a show a couple of months in advance, which is a vast improvement on a singer they used to work with cancelling them on a whim depending what gobbledigook his psychic had been whispering to his inner child. peace

Dodn't VR cancel a few shows because of Scott's throat was soar and he was a little bit sick or something? I think those reasons were quite justified to pull a few gig off the list.
