Is the European Tour Almost Complete?

[Judge Dredd]

They should add more UK dates, they had 3 UK dates in 2001.

But they played none of them.

They only had the two UK shows in 2002, Leeds and London Arena.

Someone posted about a London show on June 10th or 11th. I think it is safe to say they won't play in London on the 11th or a lot of people are gonna be pissed at having spent nearly ?150 for tickets to Donington.

There was a piece in NME last week claiming that there are internet rumours about a London club show before Donington, but I can't really see that happening.

[sl??sh]

zurich, moscow, kiev, athens and istanbul are left

[Thorned Rose]

Yeah really. They have a lot of dates... the timing for the shows is good. The days are chunked like a real tour... screw management's word.

The Gn'R management is the worst management of all time. No debate there.

I think it's safe to say that we will see some Gn'R this summer. Come on.

No one has mentioned this, but do you think it is possible that the European tour could segway into an Asian/Australian tour? ?Last time around (2002), didn't they play a few dats in Asia? ?I think there would be a chance of this before a US tour anyway.

Also, is there a reason why everyone is so sure we won't have dates in Europe after early July? ?

Charity,
  It's know this has been discussed...I'm just not sure which forums those threads were on.

For what it's worth, I think that's exactly the plan.  Asia and Australia next.

[pilferk]

They should add more UK dates, they had 3 UK dates in 2001.

I agree with that ?.

Looks like there is space for another date or 2 between 29th of June and the 5th of July and who knows maybe they have dates lined up after the final Helsinki show??

I don't think you're going to get any more UK dates.  I suppose it remains possible...

[misterID]

Yeah I remember other shows being confirmed too.. Remember those.. They kinda didnt happen. Axl Rose isnt the best at keeping his word. Something official from the fucker would be nice tho..

Does anyone remember when the Axl interview with Del James (I think it was on a plane) was released and put on GNRONLINE.COM? Wasn't it right before the 2002 tour started?

That was his last real "official statement".

I think it was posted as PART of the tour announcement...at the same time the dates were put up.

And really, his last official statement was the Buckethead leaving/Cancelling Rock in Rio PR.

Classic, it doesn't add anything to the topic because it has been said a 1000 times. Believe me, the statement issue bugs the shit out of me as well. However, I don't have to bring it up everytime I post. I wise man once said "when I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed. Say something once, why say it again?" ? You guys act like the more you say it, then the more it has relevance. Let me clue you in to something, Axl doesn't give a shit what you think or he would have changed a long time ago. That is reality my friend.

Typically when concert dates are announced by a band, the band makes the announcement

Sorry to piss on your parade and blind devotion to the man, but, given the bands past history and track record since the new inception of the band is less than relieable; I think people have every right to be skeptical about these dates.

Sorry if you disagree, but some people don't have the blind trust and faith in the band that you and others do. ?And to state so on a fan board is well within their rights as is it is yours. ?Just because you opinion differs, doesn't make it more or less valid than the skeptics.

And personally, I could care less if Axl doesn't give a shit what I or anyone else thinks. ?Because I feel much the same. ?I'm a fan of the man's music, nothing else.

[madagas]

Show me where I disagreed with anything you said...you are assuming an awful lot hot shot. You don't know me from Adam.

[NickNasty]

Day in and day out the ignorance of the Gnr fanbase just blows me away........ You guys that are so negative every single post and every single day just need to go find a new band. This one (the "new gnr") is not for you. Please do everybody who is interested a favor and just simply go away. Spamming every thread with the same negative bullshit is just disrespectful to people who want to discuss the current tour or whatever....every thread is not meant to go off on the band's management and Axl for the 2 millionth time. Grow the fuck up already and have a little bit of class. If you can't say something that adds to the topic, then don't say anything. Is it really that hard??

Goddamn, thank you! I was just about to say the same thing

To all those people who seem to be drooling at  the prospect of this whole thing falling apart, and who just think axl and merck suck for not giving you info at this time (even though dates are being booked-lots of em) if you really wanna stick it to them:

-never buy CD, a concert ticket, or any other guns-related stuff ever again-that simple! talk with your wallet. dont rehash the same tired stuff on messageboards-that isnt getting anyone anywhere. axl and merck aint gonna change now, whether we like it or not.

[Dellorto]

I think it's missing more in UK and at least one in greece...

 in general it's a big tour but the big challenge will do the same in US, big shows, crowd and quick sold out...

but I think chinese democracy tour is on a good way: it'll sell a lot, gnr will be agian the greatest band in world and axl will shut mouth up of his enemies!!

Great rant Magadas. 

Some people here should realise their indecent insults and boring and negative off topics don't belong in here.
there's a thread for it in the deadhorse section. It's called the frustration thread. Go post there.

but do you think it is possible that the European tour could segway into an Asian/Australian tour?  Last time around (2002), didn't they play a few dats in Asia?  I think there would be a chance of this before a US tour anyway.

in August? It seems that most big festivals are held during summer holidays there, when it's sweltering hot.

but people are talking about there "European Tour"  which is new

if people are negative or skeptical of it coming off as scheduled, that is their perogative

it's not off topic, it's just a different opinion/perspective than the eternally optimistic fans

it's got nothing to do with frustration

to post here, does everyone have to think the album will be released and all 16 dates that have been announced

b/c if past history is any indication, there is reason to be wary

[Sparksry]

u know what I would love to see them here closer to my Country in canada lol 

[mr self destruct]

I think there's at least one gig to be announced.

My speculations:

28-30th of May                    Spain/Greece
5-8th of June                       Germany/England/France
30th of june-4th of July       Nederlands/Germany/Estonia

I'm not saying they will play all of the above, maybe 1-4 of them.

And perfect day to release CD would be 30th of May. 
(Yes, it's tuesday, but many times recently some big names have dropped their album on wednesday here in Europe)

30th of june-4th of July       Nederlands/Germany/Estonia

Don't think they're gonna play Germany again 5-8th of June, but a England-concert seems more likely!

I think a Spain concert 28-30th of May and a England/UK concert 5-8th of June is possible.

[Christos AG]

For what it's worth.

I don't see them playing in Greece.

Many talks but no result.

The promoters here don't seem to think that GN'R can get big crowds.

Hopefully this will change after a 5th sold out show in Paris and they'll try to close the deal ASAP...

[Sparksry]

well then they'll be kicking themselves saying why didnt you invite them to play.

[Christos AG]

I'll see them 2 or 3 times for sure.

But it's really bad for the Greek fans and there are lots of them.

GN'R have many fans in Greece but the promoters sometimes are too thick headed...

[damnthehaters]

Would you guys stop complaining about GNR's management like your a manager yourself.? If management replied to every little rumor, statement, showing, siting, song, show, etc.. they would be making statements every day.

Did you guys ever think about this?? When they are done booking tour dates, they will give an announcement.? 

You guys are all just losing your cool because the album hasn't dropped yet.? When there is something to say, they will say it.
