GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCES 2007 TOUR

The rock n' roll machine known as Guns N' Roses have announced that they will be hitting the road starting in April. The first leg of the Chinese Democracy World Tour 2007 will see GN'R performing in Japan, Thailand, South Africa, South America, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand.

2006 saw Guns N' Roses perform over 70 concerts all over the world to rave reviews. With the release of the highly anticipated Chinese Democracy album imminent, 2007 promises to be even busier and more exciting for the band and their loyal fans. When it comes to performing live, lead vocalist W. Axl Rose, guitarist Robin Finck, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, and Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboard players Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman, and drummer Frank Ferrer are a rock n' rock spectacular that have to be experienced to be believed.

For the very first time in their storied career, Guns N' Roses will be performing in South Africa. GN'R are scheduled to headline the My Coke Festival taking place in Johannesburg on April 27th and Cape Town on May 1st.

"I've been fortunate enough to play in some of the most historic buildings and stadiums around the world but performing in South Africa will truly be an honor" - Axl - "I can't wait to see South Africa. This is a dream come true".

Great news... I was thinking they'd be playing those places this year.

[Apollon]

Great... And very interesting... If gonna play the first leg in those countries, where will the second leg take place? And when will they release CD? Between the legs?

Nevertheless, very intersting and good to hear they are on the road again... 

I think this leg will contain around 20 shows...

its comming people..

Second leg.....Europe? And then ending in North America would be my guess

No album until May then.

[Apollon]

No album until May then.

Why?

[Jimmy?]

No album until May then.

I'm happy with May 

[polluxlm]

No album until May then.

Why?

When there's already a delay I don't think they'll want to start the promotion until they reach EU or US.

[polluxlm]

No album until May then.

I'm happy with May?

Me too, but I want the damn confirmation. Hopefully 'soon'

[Skinflick]

Looks like the waiting is almost over.......they AIN'T gonna go though ANOTHER tour without the support of an album......these shows coming up are gonna be fuckin' nuts....excellent crowds for a GNR concert....

I'm happy that Gunnerdownunder will finally get to see GN'R!

And Queen of Everything too!  (Formerly dramaqueen)

[anythinggoes]

hmm i shall await the Europe tour for a while longer then

[Apollon]

No album until May then.

Why?

When there's already a delay I don't think they'll want to start the promotion until they reach EU or US.

No I don't think so... I suppose this first leg to be rather short (around 20 shows?) and so they can release before it and have good promotion around the whole world. It won't hurt sales if they go on tour in EU or US half a year later...

But great to have them on tour again!!!! ?

[polluxlm]

Wonder how long this leg will run. Guess they don't want to miss out on the lucrative festival summer in Europe. Early June they come to our parts, I'm hoping. This could be good.

The crowds in those parts of the world will probably be insane. How long since they've been there? Decade and a half? Looking forward to some boots, hopefully at least one proshot.

so brain's not back

Novarock is on june 15/17 and no GNR mention.

I'm guessing they want to grab the festivals, so around 15 dates then go to Europe in June. No way there's going to be a long pause between leg 1 and 2 (7 and 8th? )
