Poll Question about the next US Tour!

[Chief]

I was just wondering, when they announce the first US show, how many people from here are planning or going to try their best to go to it??

[EFISH]

If it's in the summer.... I'm gonna my fucking best to be there. 

[chineseblues]

I'll be there come hell or high water.

[neon2002]

If Chinese Democracy is out then I'll go. If not I won't. Simple as that.

I saw them twice on the 2002 tour & once on the 2006 tour.

[pilferk]

If CD is out...I'm there.

If not....it would depend on where they're playing.  I'd absolutely go to another Hammerstein-type show.  But I think I'd skip an arena show at this point. 

Edit: I wanna clarify a little.

I'd skip the arena show not because I'm tired of the old material, or I'm mad at the band, or anything else like that.  It's a question of balance....I've seen them many, many times (approaching double digits, now) in all their differenct incarnations.  I now have 3 kids at home, and a career to balance THAT with....I'm not the young guy with no responsibilities I once was.  And, like it or not, CT is NOT going to get a weekend date with GnR.  We're right between Boston and NYC and THEY will get the weekend dates.  With CD out, it is, to me, worth what I'd have to "give up" to go to the show.  Without it...not as much.

If CD is out there's no way that I'll miss it, if CD isn't out there's no way that I'll miss it as long as I can afford it.

[CVBTank]

I'll def make it to the next US leg of this tour.  Loved it the first time around.

[Mr. Redman]

I'll be at MPLS again....and I'll be outta school.

[smeagol2124]

Have been to every "1st" show since alpine valley 91, won't miss the next one either

[LittleFly]

I agree with pilferk....If CD is out I'll do my best to get to a show, ESPECIALLY if it's on the East Coast somewhere.  If it's not out, I might have to bow out for the same reason he stated above.  Job, a child, other responsibilities are hard to get out of unless it's a really really good reason.  I've seen them perform more times then I ever thought I would now, and fullfilled most of my "I wanna"s in regards to seeing/meeting/shaking hands with various members.  I can relax now

[Mr.Intensity]

If they are playing a new setlist or if Chinese Democracy is out, I would attend another show.

If not, I seen this incarnation 5 times already, and am satisfied with seeing them that much.... if they did a small show like Hammerstein again, I'd consider going if a couple of my friends wanted to make it a vacation!!

[GnR-NOW]

I'd go with or without CD out. ?Why? Because, GNR is my favorite band, and you never know when it will all end with them. ?I bet the people who were at the 2002 MSG show were glad as hell they went. ?They probably though, GNR would never play again, because no one knew what would happen 4 years later.

I agree with alot these thoughts. I think I'm still going either way though.

[freedom78]

Yeah, I have a buddy who didn't see them in 2006, so I'm sure I'll go with him in 2007, if they hit Indy, Chicago, or Central Illinois.

[downzy56]

Having seen them 10 times since 2002, I'd go to the Toronto show, but that's probably it.  I think it's pretty much useless to think they'd tour without new material again.  Even Axl mentioned that he thought it was understood that the 2006 NA tour was given the go under the assumption the album would be out before the conclusion of the dates set. 

A different question would be, and probably all the more useless, is how much effort would you make if say, Slash were to guest spot during certain spots of the show much like Izzy last year.  In that case, I would definitely tune up the car and hit the road for as many shows I could feasibly afford.

As it stands, when new material comes out and the band is around, I'd definitely see a Toronto show, and if they played Hamilton or London (Ontario), I'd venture that far as well.  But that's pretty much it.

Cheers,

Andrew

If they're somewhat close to me, and/or money is good at the time, i will go to as many shows as I can, just like always, they could play the same song 20 times in a row for all I care, I'd still have a fucking blast 

[cotis]

I'll be there, either way.

[Chief]

I'd love to catch the first show but like many people have said, i am much more likely to see more shows and be way more excited when the album is out so we can hear some different stuff live!

Exactly.  Agreed

Same here, if CD is out yes I'll go. No otherwise as I have seen them twice this year and $90 a tickets is very pricey.
