GN'R reschedules Sep 27 - Oct 5 dates - tour starts Oct 20th

[mahimahi23]

What about all the people planning on attending them shows, you don't think they might just be a little dissappointed that they have to re-arrange there plans and wait months till there actual concert.

Did you read the rest of my post, or just that first line??

I said this after that statement

I understand the people that are going being a bit irritated for the rescheduled dates, especially if they have already made arrangements to be at one of these shows, but still, this is really great news if it is true. It means Axl is finally going to stick to his word and release the album this year.

the most irritating thing is how poorly it appears to have been handled. ..
But still, barring any problems with the mixing, god forbid, I really do think we'll see Chi Dem very soon.?

It could be that it's being handled brilliantly behind the scenes, who knows.? The amount of negotiating that must be going on given the label situation, the Sanctuary exit, merchandising deals, publishing litigation, etc (and then throw lawsuits from disgruntled art brokers into the mix), it's a pretty friggin' complicated situation.? Not sure I'd be able to figure it out even if I was in the same room.? (I keep envisioning this massive poker game... )?

dont you find it irritating that Merck adressed the silliest possible thread about a lost microphone, and yet important questions like this are left hanging in the air

If this rumor is true, then it might be a good move to have CD finished before any other shows, that way when they start again, it can be a heavy CD setlist + plus maybe some other new songs.  However, if its it for this band, then just be glad you got a chance to see them if you were able to.

I just can't understand why everyone is treating this as though it's true either.

Strange.

What reliable source did this come from again??

[GnR-NOW]

In some weird way, I hope its true, bc Ive read alot of posts saying Axl is making the same mistakes in 02 by touring with no album to promote.  So if CD is released in around Nov or Dec, then start touring in Dec, that could be a good move.

Only the dates before October 24th and after tonight are postponed.

Dubai has a fairly big annual rock festival, which started in 2004. Don't think it coincides with New Year, but there is the money and audience to bring in big rock bands.

Thanks for the info!

So, Axl was right at the VMAs.

ON new years eve, they plan to perform in Dubai" ... take it for what it is, still a rumour.[/I]

in the middle east? what a predictable place! 
Whose joke is that?

Again, I have to ask for a source.

And just so I have this right, is this what the official claim is:

Everything after tonight is being moved/postponed and they will be playing the October 24 date and all those already scheduled after that?

Wait for a Mysteron post everybody.  Unitl then I will save my breathe.

Jeez i just woke up my heart is beating so fast. i feel good, but at the same time, im freaked out because iiii reaaaaaaaaaly dont want the florida dates postponed... sorry to everyone that had plans for the cali shows, 

[axlrosegnr]

Just remember, at least the word "cancelled" isn't in there....So yeah, I was going to go to Bakersfield next week, now I have to wait until January 11th. It sucks, but I still get to see them then, oh well.

It's only the Cali and Reno shows that are being postponed... every other show is safe. ?Just think - when the tour finally starts at the end of october, we could very well have heard the first single?

Yeah, its only 5 shows, the rest is still going on as planned.

Well true, so far.
Anyway, i still dont know what to think of this but I'm sure we will hear something more, soon. I'm guessing by the time the tour starts up at the end of October, we will have a release date.

Luckily for me, Guns N' Roses doesn't give a shit about Iowa.  You people make this out to be a bad thing...CD WILL BE DONE IN 2 MONTHS OR LESS! 

(if this is true)

As for the New Year's Eve show in Dubai? So not believing this. C'mon, flying to the United Arab Emirates for such a date? Yeah, I can just picture the headbanger scene in the UAE. GNR's music is so accepted in the Muslim world.   

Look genius, Dubai is considered a major tourist attraction all over the world. It's a very prosperous little nation, which is loaded by Westerns during the New Years. My mom's been there 5 or 6 times during the past ten years, and she told me that the place has a major appeal for travellers written all over it.

Relatively little amount of locals would attend the GNR show, but I tell you, the venue would be 100% packed.

Not proof, but if you go here
