SAVE MART CENTER DECEMBER 13, 2006 CANCELLED

[MotherGooseLuvR]

so does jarmo ever get upset with the band?

Upset about a cancelled show? No... It happens. Most artists cancel shows.


I was in Portland after a seven hour bus ride from New York.

I didn't sit and dwell on it.


Regarding all the other tihngs you're upset about, it's like Bumblefoot said. I don't like to focus on something that I don't have right now.

No use trying to talk sense into him, dude.  Plain and simple... HE'S A HATER.  Take your negativity somewhere else.  I know you were excited about seeing Axl after all this time, but fuck dude... don't dwell on it.  It's already been -- like what -- ten minutes?

[Bang Bang]

Oh no!!!  Save the Mart!

Whatever...

[D]

Dude.. why does everybody freak out?

 

Are u serious?

maybe cause after a cancelled Philly Show the tour ended and we didnt hear from Axl for 4 years.


Maybe cause CD isnt coming out in 2006 coupled with Axl walkin off before PC and now a cancelled show...

U dont think people should worry?

How long have u been on this forum?

cancelled show number 4 on this tour?

nashville
portland
milwaukee
fresno

well anyway...  i guess they had a good reason to cancel the concert ( as merck stated a while ago, we shouldn`t forget that the band is making money off this )

it`s just not the best publicity. this is gnr/axl rose. it`s quite normal, that artists cancel a show from time to time, but if gnr cancels a gig the media/public usually jumps on it.... and as i said before... it`s the fourth show on this tour they cancelled...

rock on gnr!!

Axl played two songs for an encore. Sure he didnt play PC but I would ?hardly call that waking off. As for the cancelled show, does anyone know if this show was close to being sold out?

Dave u are a smart guy

Name one concert since 2002 that Axl didnt play Paradise City or the band didnt play it with Bach?

the fact the show the next night is cancelled isnt a horrible end of the world sign, but I cant blame people for being nervous or concerned.


I say Axl is just exhausted again.

i just hope everyone in the band is OK, and not ill or something.
Im sure there is a valid reason for canceling the show!

Nowhere near, you could still get some of the best tickets untill today

[madagas]

Ticket sales were terrible the first time around. I think it is due to ticket sales. That is why they did not give an explanation. No big deal. It is another small market that they should not have booked at this point-probably thought the album would be out by the time of the show and ticket sales would pick up. Album date got bumped and they were left with their "ass in the air!" Move on to the next city. The tour is still overall a success.

So it seems it was cancelled due to low ticket sales. Fair enough, one shouldn't expect any more without proper promotion or a new album on the shelves. I wonder what they will say in an eventual press release.

[Nytunz]

The press release is up on www.gunsnroses.com now...
Nice new picture..

also feat. an article about Welcome to the jungle as one of the best LA songs..

One question, was Bach even there? Wasn't he suppose to miss a couple of dates because he was headlining a couple of gigs somewhere else?

Just a question, I don't remember.

My guess is that we all are.

Nice pic though.

Actually it isnt a small market, just not a very hip rock and roll city, it has a few cool pockets, but Fresno ?(while growing culturally) spend most of its early years as a home for Mongs, Vietnames and Mexican immigrants. ?It just is an industrial /agricultural area. ?Oakland will be great. ? Just east of the bay area.

if you want to believe that, do it. I really dont know how you reach that conclusion, maybe you just wish that. I am not surprised: many so called GNR fans want GNR to fail.

GNR has sold out like 15 shows between Europe and USA. An average of 22.500 people went to see GNR in Europe without ''proper promotion'' and new album on the shelves and the expectation of fans in all the GNR community is bigger than EVER. GNR did like 50 awesome 2 hours shows with impressive setlists and performances in 20 countries and now we crucify Axl and the band for one (fourth) show cancelled? You dont need to know the real ressons: you will be believe what you want to believe. Jarmo is right in that: lots of people dont need reasons. They will say ''bullshit'' anyway because THAT is what they want to believe.

Im as sad as you because of this cancelation, but why daydream reasons?

[Cleopatra2U]

Why would any artist cancel any show due to poor ticket sales?

Every ticket sold makes them money. ?If a show gets cancelled, they don't get money from ticket sales.

Every bit of merchandise sold at a show makes them money. ?If a show gets cancelled, they don't get money from merchandise sales.

And besides the money, there's the integrity factor.

I don't buy "poor ticket sales" as the reason for this cancellation.

I hope everyone in the band is okay.

Because if they dont sell enought tix its not worth doing the show because the cost of the show will be more than how much they make for doing the show.

[madagas]

Dave is correct. Also, the promoter/Live Nation may lose money.
