Do you think these concerts are really going to happen? Will Axl show up?

[Sillything]

Excellent point Sillything. I hope to God Axl is "in the loop" on all these added dates. He only mentioned European festivals in the RS interview didn't he?

Merck could get fired

[Markus Asraelius]

So, some of you guys actually think that axl doesn't know about some of these dates.

Please...

[Chief]

i think its crazy to think Axl doesn't want to do all these shows... how could he not be involved here??!

I may be a little worried about the adding of shows. That Axl intendend to do just a few shows and now it's started to be a bit out of control. Promoters and booking agencys getting all exited caving in to public demand and creating a tour Axl did not wanted. But I don't know how this works. The most logical thing I think would be if they check in with Axl every time they book a show, or even better if he is directly involved, wanting to play all the extra dates and is flattered and inspirerd by this hughe public interest. Would be a disaster if he "reads about the tour on the internet".

[WhatIsItMan]

Yes.

axl knows about these shows-this aint 2001.

It's happened before...

I don't think this needs to be an all-consuming fear that we should have... but there's always that little 10% "X factor" with Axl and GN'R that tells you ANYTHING is fucking possible... both positively and negatively... it's part of the reason they're so damn compelling... but keep your seatbelt fastened at all times.

Yeah, back then technological limitations impeded his ability to find out about his shows. The winds did not favour the smoke signals and the carrier pigeons got lost.

ane let's not even get started on what happened to all those telegraph messages....

[JB9988]

i havent the slightest idea why axl decided to not go to those shows at the end and canceled all those shows. But im not worried now its a new year no bucket and a new cd coming out, axl will be at all the shows he says. Im not worried one bit.

[misterbrownstone]

if this IS the comeback, he WILL make all the shows, his future depends on it.

[oldgunsfan]

If I had tickets to any of these shows I would be worried about him showing up....

to say this isn't 2001 or 2002 would be suspending reality b/c back than, he hadn't been from in 8-9 years, what makes this any different

he didn't have an album out?  he still doesn't.

[mikegiuliana]

Sounds like someone is pissed about the recent event and wants to spread negativity around supporters of the current band.

What is so negative..? is this your firstt ime as a fan of anything involving axl.. It's called being realistic.. What do you want everything wrapped in sugar... It has nothing to do with what recently happened.. i could give a fuck, that's between them not me..

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

well not very much. i think this tour will be different than the last one. and you know, you can never predict what's gonna happen, especially in GNR world.. and if a show will get cancelled, so what.. there's no gnr tour without cancellation. of course i dont wish anyone who has been waiting for so long to see them, to stand behind closed doors... but i think he will make at least 99% of the shows this time... this is the start of chinese democracy, and he's not going to ruin it...

[kaddisonmoore]

since im not going i wont be very very dissapointed but i want him there

[A Private Eye]

No i'm not really worried, I've got a feeling he really means it this time and that there is a 'plan' in place. I think it's safe to say at the very least the european tour has been planned for a little while now, it's clear in the RS interview from January that he knows he will be performing live this year. The only problem I can see right now is the Download festival. Unfortunately it's early on in the list of tour dates so the band might be still a bit rusty and they will be playing in front what could be potentially be a very hard crowd to please. With Download traditionally being more of a metal festival anyway I'm not sure how well Axl and his piano will be received. Hope I'm wrong though. Of course an actual album newly released might tame the crowds a bit       

[horsey]

im not sure but was very disapionted last philly no show.

[1badapple]

i'm not really worried about it, but i won't be surprised if shows do get cancelled. it is GnR ya know.

[Throatrake]

Part of the excitement of GN'R live is the anticipation is knowing the risk you took in buying a ticket.
You could have an Axl meltdown, walk off, or a no show, riot, get yelled at, ect.

I just hope if he does cancel anything, there is at least a few days notice.

[gnrrock]

worried as hell.
