Rumour: Guns Down Under

[monkeychow]

does any Aussies remember how the promoters & GNR fucked over fans at the Melbourne 1993 concert. I remember it being all over the news & i know someone who was there I can explain in more detail some tiome if ppl are interested but i just wanted to see if other aussies particulary melbourne fans if they remembered

I went to that concert and to me it was the coolest thing ever. I do remember a bunch of stuff on the news the next day - like girls saying they were forced to urinate while peeople watched due to lack of facilities, and like people complaining about bottles of water at insane prices. I cant speak about the toilet issue - but i rememebr at the time thinking like - duh - of course prices are gunna be maxed - its no different to going to the royal melboure show or some other public event - u dont expect cheap food.

I also rememebr the drama with the bus system to take people from the venue back to the city. Me and my mate waited for hours...but hell that just added to the atmosphere in a way.....

Awesome show....hope they come back!!!

someone should call the big promoters and find out if they are talking about doing it, otherwise Lets' start a partition to get this thing to happen.

Good work, thanks for your effort mate

Great to see there are still the loyal Axl / GNR fans no matter what has happened in the past

I look forward perhaps to seeing some of you guys and sharing the experience when GNR return

And hopefully they play a modest venue so we can try to meet them out the back hey

[snow white]

Put me down as a loyal Aussie fan too 

I'd love it if they came here soon, but I don't think it will happen...only time will tell I guess.

Was the venue far out from the city?

In Sydney they had the show at the fucking Eastern Creek raceway which is ages away from the CBD.

Yeah, but only 10 minutes down the road for all us westy's!

[Tomorrows]

I reckon - Eastern Creek my ass.

[jimmythegent]

Please come to New Zealand! 

[Ducks]

Another Aussie fan from Melbourne.

Like just about everyone else I was 7 when they toured in 93! What a shame.

But I'm gonna see them twice in England this year! 

Hope the rumours of them coming down are true!

Don't think it would be Big Day Out related though as the Chilli's are supposed to be headlining it this time.

[Chief]

I Really hope this happens. i think As many people as possible need to see these guys now!!!!!

[Billo]

Hey..yep im from Aus as well..Victoria..    I didnt get to see guns in 93 but i saw VR last year..AWESOME, but i need to see Axl live as well.

[badapple81]

Nothing good to report I'm afraid. Frontier Touring would most likely bring them here and I emailed them, they said there are no plans to bring them here. It's worth while noting that quite some time before VR was announced, they were quite forthcoming with their response and openly admitted that I should keep checking back any time now. And before that they hinted that there were plans. So when they say nothing is planned, I believe it.

Yeah its a fair way - but I guess its all in where you live in Melbourne. It was miles for me - but I'd do it again in a second!! LOL. I just tried to get the exact location for you - and discovered the venue still talks about the GNR show on their website - pretty cool for 13 years ago LOL

Cool i guess it wasnt as bad as they said

I remember the deal about ppl having a hard time making it back home from it

Theres one story my brothers friends dad went & i remember a story how heaps of guys were queing to go to the toliet just to get a drink from the tap coz it was so hot & they had no money for water. Some guys went & drank from teh toliet bowl they were so desperate apparently 

[Dead N' Bloated]

Anyone get a reply yet from any radio stations?
I emailed the station that made the original comment of GN'R in OZ but no reply and its been like 5 days since I emailed em.

Yea, Im sure it was. Maybe I should give Triple J a call ... one moment.

Fuck, they dont have an inquiries number. I registered an account and posted a thread about it on their Song Q+A board (thread should appear soon). Just asked if they have been playing new GnR songs and if anyone can remember the titles.

[Megaguns]

Why doesnt someone email richard fortus and ask about an australian tour? Hes been known to answer emails, and maybe now he will reply to gnr questions.
