GN'R playing with The Rolling Stones in Germany in July

[G n F n R]

Does anybody know if the Stones still ask members of the opening acts to guest on their songs live?

[TWT]

Personally, the idea of GNR opening for anyone disappoints me, but then, the GNR 'brand' has continually left me disappointed over recent years. It's all turned a bit cabaret, I hope the live shows make up for it.

Just ordered my tickets, GnR and Rolling Stones in my hometown 

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

That's fuckin cool they are going to do two shows. I'm just very shocked that Axl would open for anyone now. I wonder if more fans at the show will be Guns N' Roses or Rolling Stone fans? They might add more show now in July and some in August now. Then come back to the US in September for a tour and have a date set for the cd also in the fall.

That would be super sweet, and also, a very good idea.

I wouldn't be too surprised if that actually happend.

As for the Rolling Stones thing, I think it's fucking awesome.

Do u think this thing bout Keith will stop the tour coz hes crook? I hope they keep going but if hes unwell then theres not alot that can be done.

Just passing on what I heard.
On the radio this morning (May 8th), they're reporting that Keith DID have surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain and that he almost bought the farm. BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO CONFIRMATION OF THIS FROM STONES CAMP.? And they're still supposedly playing in Spain on May 27.

The Stones have postponed their European tour due to Keef's surgery.

Re-scheduled dates will be announced in due course.

[WARose]

The Rolling Stones A Bigger Bang European tour goes ahead and will now start in June 2006.

Full details of the re-scheduling of the tour will be announced shortly.

I think that they'll just re-schedule the shows that were before June.

If the tour starts in June, they can't cancel the Germany shows in July, where GN'R are playing, they'll lose lots of ticket sales...

[Jonathan]

Christos, I don't know if this is off-topic, but anyway.

How much did you have to pay for the ticket(s) for the Germany show with shipping to Greece?

[Christos AG]

160something euros.

Let's talk about this after the Nurnberg show is confirmed for the same date as it was, cause another show moved (after the madrid fiasco) would seriously injure my ass permanently.

Well, the thing is that I can't reschedule anything. No more money left.

All spent wisely on GN'R On Tour...

Yesterday i read in a very respectable UK newsparer that the Rolling Stone Tour will be cancelled cause Keith Ritchards had an emergency operation in the brain....He fell down from a tree and after few days he was feeling Headaches & dizziness...Then he was diagnosed with a thrombosis in one of his brain artery/vein and they had to emergency operate...It was a serious operation....

Anyone heard anything about that??

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

yeah its been all over the web,this is off therockradio.com

Keith Richards has skull surgery

Keith Richards underwent surgery in New Zealand yesterday (May 8th), to relieve headaches he's suffered from since his fall late last month while on vacation in Fiji. Reuters reported that after being observed by doctors in Auckland, Richard was initially feeling well until he began complaining of headaches. Richards' publicist wouldn't confirm the severity of his condition until after the surgery took place.

A spokesman for the guitarist issued a statement saying that, quote, "After complaining of headaches (on Sunday), doctors thought it prudent to move ahead with a small operation to remove the pressure. The operation was a complete success and Keith is already up and talking with his family today. He will need a few weeks' recuperation."

Various reports have stated that Richards may have injured himself either by falling while climbing a palm tree or during a jet ski accident.

No specifics on exactly what type of surgery he actually underwent, but a report by the New Zealand Herald stated that procedure was "to relieve a subdural haematoma or blood clot on the brain." The operation usually involves drilling a hole in the back of the skull to drain either a clot or blood that is resting on the brain.

Richard's post-op recuperation will delay the Rolling Stones' upcoming European tour, which was scheduled to kick off on May 27th in Barcelona. New dates are being scheduled for June and an announcement is expected to be announced shortly.

The European leg of the tour will go ahead but its start will be delayed to June, the publicists said. The band had been due to open the tour on May 27 in Barcelona and May 29 in Madrid.

That's from CNN...for what it's worth...

From what I've read, if Keith will be able to tour in June, only a few dates will change.

It's logistically stupid to change a whole tour, when you can re-schedule just a few dates.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

didnt GNR move the madrid date forward due to the stones tour schedule?

[WARose]

true actually...
