What for stating a fact. Alot of people are going to be referring to this lineup that way, so if you can't even deal with someone on the internet saying it, I'd hate to see what you will be like when the tour actually starts.

souns like this site feels like it might be an axl rose project just calling itself gnr

[Big Gun]

it has always been that way from day one, how else would you explain the bands break up.

Not a real in depth article, with some sarcasm on the writer's part. Doesn't even mention the NYC shows

[Backslash]

Here's a little more in-depth article... again, the journalism is less than professional.  I still haven't seen any sight of an "official announcement" from the band regarding the tour, but the more people write about it, I guess the more "official" it becomes.

Guns N' Roses Announce NYC Dates, European Tour
Quanah Humphreys reports:
After Guns N' Roses' spectacular resurrection and flame-out in 2002, just about everyone wrote off the prospect of ever seeing Axl Rose and GN'R 2.0 perform live again.

Smart money says to keep your fingers crossed, but Guns N' Roses have announced two May dates at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom, as well as a summer European tour. Though notoriously temperamental (which is a polite way of saying "I wouldn't trust him with my kittens") Axl Rose scheduling a tour just might just mean it's time to bust out the oversized hockey jerseys and skrink-wrapped biker shorts.

Set lists are expected to pull from the GN'R back catalog as well as Chinese Democracy, the mythical-as-a-unicorn follow-up to 1993's The Spaghetti Incident?. 32 songs have allegedly been recorded for that album, a taste of which Rose has suggested may appear on...the soundtrack to The Da Vinci Code movie. Tom Hanks with a mullet, Axl Rose with dreadlocks--makes sense.

A few tracks from the multi-million dollar project were leaked in February, which could potentially be seen as Rose testing the waters before wading into the world at large. Post-It for Axl: If people are still writing about you and your goof-tacular foibles at this point, it means, yes, we are still clamoring for, or at least morbidly curious about, new GN'R material. So quit with the shut-in shtick and get to the stadium-rocking. Sheesh.

Mysteron mate, have a word with management. The gnronline site is laughable and has been for years. GNR need a proper site so that former/current fans can actually find out whats going on from an official source.

[BLS-Pride]

I doubt they care about that website. And it will always be The Axl Rose Band in my eyes.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

guys,guys,guys...............ITS GUNS N FUKIN ROSES  .

youll see when CHINESE DEMOCRACY becomes the hottest thing in the industry,you wont be calling it THE AXL ROSE BAND then.

[BLS-Pride]

Yes I will. If the album is a bomb or a huge hit. It's not GnR. Doesn't mean I dislike the new band cause I think they are all good and will prob put out a great album wit Axl.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

but thats not up to you to decide,its up to axl what he calls the band,and guess what,he called it GUNS N ROSES.you may not think of it as the same GUNS N ROSES that rocked the stages back in the late 80s-early 90s,but at the end of the day,it still sounds like axl singing and its still called GUNS N ROSES.

ON TOPIC:im sure well have a few more sites including this one with a confirmed tour list when it really happens.

[Ignatius]

This thread just doesn't add anything to what's been posted already.

As for the side topic (the GNR official site) is been discussed already many times.

Locked.
