The 2006 Tours | A big thank you to the band !

[NicoRourke]

I just wanted to create a thread so we can all thank the band and their crew for those amazing tours we've witnessed this year.

I've been to one show during the Euro tour, and as all of us, have followed the band through HTGTH. I'm so happy I've been able to see GN'R back at full strength. I've heard new material live, I've heard Axl's voice stronger than ever. I've seen a tight band, full of charisma and personality. Those guys, they deserve recognition.

So I wanted to thank Axl, Robin, Tommy, Richard, Dizzy, Brain & Frank, Chris and Ron (and Izzy) for all those great shows, and say that finally they are being rewarded through very good reviews and a shit load of enthousiasm from the fans all over the world.

Thank you guys ! And thankx to the road crew.

I think I can say that we will all be waiting for shows in 2007, and you all promoting and defending Chinese Democracy onstage.

So, It's the end of the year ... A quick list of cool things we've had :

- European Tour
- US & Canada Tour
- A brand new official site, with updates.
- New songs being played live
- Appearances from Axl here and there
- Izzy onstage with the band
- Communication from the band (from Ron, Richard and Axl himself).
- A strong band onstage, rewarded by some really positive reviews.

And of course ... A tentative release date for the album, for the first time.

2006 was a great year for the band and the fans.

Welcome back GN'R.

Happy holidays everyone ! Merry Christmas and happy 2007 to the band and all the fans out there.

thank you gnr for the great year.

it was like yesterday when i saw the interview from the korn party, then the leaks, the tour...

i bought my first ticket to see gnr live and then the show came and went. the shortest 2 and a half hours of my life and probably one of the greatest times ever.

i can't believe this year is over.
come 2007! come chinese democracy!

rock on gunners!

[crofty]

Aye, me an'all

(possibly not as eloquent as the original poster)

[chris83]

Yeah, saw you the first time at Rock am Ring.....thank you for all the great nights.....see you in 2007! We love you, Guns N' Roses!

[Meanmachine22]

Even though the album didn't make it this year it was (over all) a great year for GNR.
The shows have been great
Axl is back in the game (voice & attitude)
Axl letter last week was a good move

Bring on march 2007

Enjoy christmas and shit

Goood fuuuuckinnnnn' yeeeeearss end 

[babydolls]

cannot express how much this year has knocked me off my feet.  I always knew that GnR would be back with a big bang and my god.

Thinking back to being 11 and desperate to see them and being too young, but knowing that one day i would get to see my favourite band of all time and 2002 was good, but 2006 was so incredible.

I feel very emotional today!  The acoustic gig in London will stay with me forever - I still feel like the luckiest gal in the world - fk the Lottery, I couldnt even begin to put a price on this year's GnR experiences. Amazing new songs, (and the excitement of the leaks), appearances and then some of the best live performances that many people have ever seen.

deepest and completest thanks to guns n' roses (and that includes their hard-working crew and of course Beta) and also to this board, the presales and the updaters have made this year brilliant too.

hope y'all have a great xmas - looking so forward to 2007!

Merry fuckin? Christmas.

2006 fufilled one of my ambitions - to hear the tunes of GN'R sung by one of the best vocalists out there.
The new band is great and very talented, can't wait for the new album to shut a lot of people up!

[Thorne]

This year has been a great year music wise for me. I went to my first big gigs and festivals this year and had a blast. Met tons of new friends through the Download forums who I travel regularly to see and have a great time with. All of this is down to the Guns. I still remember when I went food shopping on a wednesday and decided to take a look through Kerrang quickly to see if there was any news. I literally let out a squeel of delight when I saw confirmation of GNR performing at DL. I abandoned my shopping to go home, take out a temporary overdraft limit and order tickets. Pretty much the same thing happened when the european tour dates were announced, I promptly booked tickets to as many shows as I could afford (which, sadly, was only two).
This year has been AWESOME in the GNR world and hopefully next year will be even better
Dudes...you guys fucking rocked!

[GnR-NOW]

Saw them 3 times this year. Awesome every time.  If GNR never does anything again, atleast I can say I saw Guns N' Roses live !

[Crowebar]

A very big "THANK YOU" to GNR for an amazing year, full of positivity!!!

Toronto was an awesome show and I can't wait till I get to see you guys again!!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you Axl/Gnr!!!

Best wishes to all of you and to the NEW ALBUM coming out and KICKING EVERYONES ASS all over the world!!!!!

Thanks for making 2006 one of the best years of my life AXL!!!!!

[gnfnr_87]

WHAT A YEAR is all I can say!!? You guys fufilled the dreams of many gnr fans across the world including myself of course, and that was to live through a year where we witnessed your suprising comeback, hearing new material and playing live for us all.? This was a truly exciting year for GN'R but where does time go?? Can't believe the end of the year has come so quick, so the rest of this year deserves to be celebrated with a real bang!? I can promise ya, this year will be remembered by me for many more years to come, so thank you GN'R for all your hard work with the new material and most of all keeping the fans happy!? Wish you all the best and I hope every one of you has a great holiday till next year.? And we'll see you in 07!!? Here's to 07
GN'R LIVE ON!!!
