Well, if more things are coming up as far as tour dates/festivals being announced, March could be a very exciting month.

Mysteron, why don't you just find out all the dates and tell us..?

Do what we pay you for. 

They are still being booked 

any idea how long they plan on touring europe?

[Pinball Wizard]

That's good to know!

It's a shame that they are far to come to Brazil...right?

[Grouse]

why only the weird countries get announced??

C'mon.....go Netherlands Guns!

The rumors of guns playing at arrow rock turned out not to be true , the line up for the extra festival date was anounced today, although it is a pretty cool line up(Roger waters, whitesnake, deep purple etc..) the chances of guns playing here have become pretty slim

[killingvector]

If they're playing Europe, they play other countries as well, like Paris or the Asia.

I expect Asia is next; dare I say that CD will be released when GnR does a Hong Kong show?

[jaknudsen]

Why doesn't anyone else get this joke? 

[badapple81]

It appears that Guns are adding? more dates... That's nice. If only they'd come a bit closer (to where I live) also.

At least you're on the same continent 

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Hope Axl shares the recipe for ice cubes when he plays there

Does anyone notice, how much more organized it seems compared to 2002?? I think in 2001/2002 when Doug Goldstein was ill, and stepped down as mgr. and Merck stepped in, they really did not have time to get fully organized.? Moreover, the marketing, and the way the tour was rolled out, was basically using a stale late 80's/90's business model.? It seems now, mgt. is using the internet far more efficiently, has become familiar again with "un-staged/underground" marketing (impromptu events--The Stereo listening party), and is booking the initial stages of a most likely world tour in the right area and during the right season:? Europe in summer.? I think the plan is to unroll the live concept in Europe, release a kick ass product, and use underground marketing to make demand unbearable for the GNR product when they touch down again in NY/USA!!!

I would imagine, the U.S. dates will be in major markets only this time around:? Chicago, NY, Miami, LA, Vegas, Boston, San Fran, Philly, Seatle, Dallas, Phoenix, and few others I am leaving out.? But, only the major markets.? I don't expect to see Fargo, Nampa, the Quad Cities, Gulfport, Tampa,? showing up again, at least for a few years.  Heck, if I was GNR, I would only play about six shows in the U.S.--and make them like a festival deal, on weekends where us fans can travel in clans, and take over a city.  Maybe do a Friday/Saturday in New York (Friday at the Ritz, Saturday at MSG).  Same in Chicago (do the Aragon, and then United Center), Vegas (Hard Rock, and then a larger arena), Miami, and L.A.   All on weekends.  I think this would be a wise way to drive up the exclusivity and demand for the product.

I don't see how much more organized it seems.

[Minneapolisnewsman]

Well, it seems there is more of a plan---events coinciding, and an ongoing build-up to the album release.  Moreover, I can't put my finger on it, but there was something wrong with the 2002 tour from the get-go!  The way it was announced, rolled out, the places they were playing, out of touch expectations, etc.  The main problem was, I think, the expectations for the 2002 tour.  Heck, my neighbor who is a regualr Joe Scmoe could have told people that GNR would not sell out Nampa, ID or Fargo,  N.D.  Also, opening in Vancouver and Tacoma, is not a way to get high publicity for a tour.  And well, there was no new music and album dangling out there.  It was stale from the start--I could feel it the night it was rolled out.  There is an underground wave of excitement building this time around.

[BLS-Pride]

The ball keeps gettin bigger and bigger.. Hopefully something huge happens soon. They need to strike with all this buzz about GnR.

I hope they play Tampa! Axl left me hanging in 02.

I know how you feel, the market I am in is similar in population to Tampa.  I hope, if they do play these markets, they book theatres or auditoriums in the smaller metro markets.  Stadiums, unless sold out, are lame!  I would way rather see GNR, at a venue with phenomenal accoustics, in front of 3000 die hard fans, and an intimate setting.

[awhellzno05]

I just hope, if they keep the festival thing going in the states, they play voodoofest in New Orleans!

[Axl8302]

i work with a polish guy and told him guns might be playing and he told me that poland wouldn't want axl cos he once said he'd never play for jews or the polish.......anyone know if this is true?

[the dirt]

He played in Israel...
