US tour to be announced next week [September 2006]

[Mysteron]

From Merck

The US tour starts on the 20th of October in Jacksonville and the shows
that were due to take place between the 27th of September and the 2nd of
October have just been moved to fit into the body of the tour. There
will be an announcement next week of the entire tour. The rest of the
below message is crap. The album will be out this year as Axl has
previously stated.

this is in response to the following posted at newgnr

I've heard it weeks before, but didn't want to post it straight away for
obvious reasons. The story is, we've heard from someone very high up in
the food chain of the GNR tour that all California shows after KROQ will be
postponed until December. The source continues.. "After Sept 23rd, the
band goes into studio to complete final mixing of the album, and the album
will come out before December" ... "Towards new years, they will fly to Miami
for a show... and ON new years eve, they plan to perform in Dubai" ... take
it for what it is, still a rumour.

this is great news

Still sticking to "The album will be out this year as Axl has previously stated." It has to be coming if at this late in the year they are still saying that confidently.

Also great to hear that they are going to fully announce the tour instead of just the odd date. The ball finally seems to be rolling.

update about CD,  feel better right now 

[Jim Bob]

good to know.  we should know everything in just a few days.   

a great weekend for GNR fans.

Yeah, that was posted by Velimir yesterday but I guess it got "lost" in that big thread about the postponed shows and people missed it.

Thanks to both of you. ?

This is great news, I agree, but its still somewhat commical. I mean there are 3 months left in this year, and all we are hearing is "it will be out this year". Now im not complaining at all, but its just funny because there is going to be hardly any promotion at all before the release date.

The only way I see them having a good bit of promotion is if they release the album info next week with the US tour dates, and it be like a December release date. Then they have a good two and a half months to promote it.

Either way this is great news, thank you for posting it.

[anythinggoes]

Thank you for the confirmation i cant wait for that announcement to happen ?

[Bono]

That's awesome news. I just wonder when were gonna hear the lead single. It's basically October so it should be right away if the album is coming out for sure within the next 3 months.

[Bono]

Do you guys think this anouncement will include smaller venues?  What was the real deal with ticket sales? Were they bad? Slow? average? selling out?  If they have to play smaller venues that's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. ijuts wonder if they'll do it.

[mahimahi23]

The thing is none of us really know why the dates got rescheduled. Was it to finish mixing the album?? Or was it because of poor ticket sales??

At this point I really dont know, although im leaning more towards them doing it so they could get the album done.

San Diego is still on?? Hmmmmm.

[bazgnr]

I'm thrilled about the tour, don't get me wrong, but hearing again that CD will be out this year is way more important to me at this point.  Good news all around - thanks to everyone for the updates!

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

i it just gonna be tour news, or more?

[Charity Case]

Merck didn't mention that details regarding the albumj would be included in the announcement next week.     I would think that would be the perfect time to make an announcement with only really 2 months left in the year to release the album.

Even if he didn't say anything about it now, it could still happen.
