With great regret, we need to postpone the following shows...

30 MAY Collombey, Switzerland

31 MAY Brussels, Belgium

01 JUNE Paris, France

02 JUNE Nantes, France

03 JUNE Brest, France

*DO NOT SPECULATE WHY. One person posts their thoughts, another treats it as fact, then rumors are started that can't be stopped, and it creates problems for everyone. At the appropriate time, more info will be given. Until then, please accept my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this causes. We hope to be able to reschedule as soon as possible. Till then, we miss you, we love you, and will be with you as soon as we can. Thanks for your friendship, patience and understanding

And this ties in with guns how?

I think it is self explanatory.

Just another possible corner piece of the puzzle.

Try digging yourself for information instead of bitching about the lack of connective tissue. We are all working on figuring out this mystery.

how about we don't work at all and wait for 6 days?

Dude its not self explanatory when he only cancelled some of the shows he has scheduled. He still has quite a few shows that are on the same days as guns shows in seperate countries. If he cancelled all his shows and not just some, then you might have something. But he hasnt, so you dont.

LOL

I see dates in June-August, 3 of which are guitar workships, another which is a festival. Very easy to back out.

There is a date on May 27 which is another clinic. May 25 in Moscow is the only questionable date. However,  GnR will be in europe in late may-june, meaning that Thal could fulfill some of  those obligations. We don't know if there will be more cancellations, but this is at least a very suspicious coincidence.

Ron Thal is amazing. He is the only "shredder" for who I have respect.

So you're saying you don't respect anyone who can shred, even if you don't know them at all?

You're too annoying.

[vince41090]

this whole thread is annoying, just wait 6 more days people. guessing random people who "OMG THIS GUY DOESN'T HAVE A SHOW SCHEDULED ON THE SAME DAY AS A GN'R FESTIVAL!!!! OMG HE MUST BE THE NEW GUITARIST!!!!" isn't gonna help at all.

Feel free to leave the thread then. Let those interested in this puzzle keep at it.

[vince41090]

what puzzle? and im here to talk about "the new guitar player" as the title suggests not how anybody who has been rumored to be in GNR doesn't have dates scheduled.

Chill out its only a bit of fun. Come next week the window for speculation will have closed somewhat.

I'm sure some people will miss the mystique when GNR's days are over.

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Wow that disclaimer is what got bumblefoot in trouble last time when people were claiming he joined gnr.

[Butch Français]

how about we don't work at all and wait for 6 days?

outragrageous!
you're at a GNR forum, you know?

[Mutherfunker]

Ron Thal is amazing. He is the only "shredder" for who I have respect. Amazing dude, and amazing talent. I spoke to him quite a long time ago, the guy is TOP.

Holy Shit! Did I just read that right?

So you of all people would be happy with this?

He sounded great if that was him on the phone on Trunk.

@#$%Funker

Silly thing is he was only inviting rumours by asking his fans not to speculate. A simple explanation would have been better than a disclaimer.

[leesixxrose]

that sounds like the best plan..

[fesxine]

how about steve vai - he used to in whitesnake

Yeah. At first I thought the disclaimer was a giveaway to the fact that he's in GNR. Now I'm thinking more like you, like this dude wants people to think he's in GNR.
