GN'R announce Tour details!!!!!

[MrBrOwNsToNeR]

we want GNR back in europe to promote ChiDem...

No promo = no sells

[metallex78]

Man, these news are phenomenal.

Although, man, did the mid-United States get fucked over...

Excuse me... you guys have had how many GN'R shows over the years??

The last time we saw GN'R in Australia was 14 years ago, back in 1993. I think you guys have had your fair share.
It's our turn now!

[Continental Drift]

Great news for the long suffering fans in those markets... not sure it's the best of news for the album release... the cynic in me thinks that those markets represent the last possible places for GN'R to tour not in support of an album but rather on the "novelty" of it all... kind of like they have in NA and Europe. Maybe this one of those final neccessary steps that they feel like they have to go through before releasing CD...

Kind of like Axl has a few remaining corners of the world where he wants to prove that the new band can "play the fuck out of the old songs." Set lists will be interesting to say the least.

Not trying to rain on those fans' parade though. I'm sure you guys are psyched! Enjoy!

[Jimmy?]

I want to warn all of you people

GNR might be playing the same set they played in europe and US, meaning no big new songs, so please DO NOT WHINE

these countries havent seen the band yet, NO WHINING !!!

Highly likely. Remember that probably 90% of people attending these shows have never seen a GN'R concert so they'll want to hear the classics rather than the new songs. An album could change that though

10. Have you got any plans to jam with Axl and the boys anytime soon??

"We are gonna Rock out in '07"

honestly there's something funny about that exact answer. think about it. put yourself in his shoes. wouldn't you have said 'yes, we're gonna rock out in '07'

seems like it should be preceded by a yes or hell yeah. but that's just part of what gives my the funny feeling he won't be back and probably means nothing.

thanks for the quote.

Really???

Seems pretty cut and dry to me!

well if you think about it it's as simple as not answering a yes or no question with a yes or no. not trying to argue or claim he's not coming back. it's just we ALL know that guns members choose words carefully and it just looks funny to see a yes or no question not answered with a yes or no. in fact if that were a witness on the witness stand the lawyer questioning or the judge would say, 'Anser the question yes or no.' maybe that's why i'm stuck on it cuz i know law very well. like i said probably means nothing though

Yeah thats probaly why... if he just answered yes or no to everything..It'd be boring!! ?If he said "we'll see", then yeah... If he was out at that point i'm sure he would not have even done the questions!

again not arguing. but i said above i would expect something like, 'yeah, we're gonna rock out in 07' or 'hell yeah, were gona.....'

that's not just answering yes or no. but a yes or no is normally in an answer. that's the way i answer questions in conversation.

just feels funny. that's all.

I'm sure there will be a press release before the tour starts announcing the line-up- including the drummer. Until then speculation is useless. Brain is famous for being sarcastic and cryptic in his responses anyway. Don't put much stock in what he says one way or the other.

Anyway- as far as we know- they're both official members- so you could just as easily see either of them at any given show.

i agree. i just have 'lawyer talk radar' and it went off the first time that quote was posted some time back.

[AxlReznor]

I'll say it again... it may make more sense to most people to play the US or Europe when the album is released, but don't be surprised if they decide to play Hong Kong on release day.? Sort of like launching Chinese Democracy in China.

That'd be exactly what I'd do, personally.  Granted, I'm not Axl/a band member.

he said "We are gonna Rock out in '07". that?s as much of a yes as you could get

talking about overanalysing and misinterpreting....

In 2002 the first date of the tour was in Hong Kong. ?It really surprised me that they managed to play a song called Chinese Democracy on a tour called the Chinese Democracy Tour in China.

[oldgunsfan]

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....

Say's you.....the last 2 times they went on tour 2002/2006 there was no album.

[Dead N' Bloated]

Why hasn't this been posted on the GN'R website?

okay. thats fine. i made the couple of points about my oppinion starting with Page 4 so it's all good. 

[mrlee]

and when will they announce a new album lol....

[Continental Drift]

Could be. But that would be ballsy. Pissing off Chinese authorities is not something to be done for the sake of promotion. And if the album title at the end of the day really isn't a political commentary on China- but rather a metaphor for goings on in the band and Axl's life over the last 12 years (etc. as many of us suspect)- Axl would catch shit from the media for a cheap "promotion" gimmick like that. People die for shit like that.

Anyway, I like Latin America/South America as a good place to be touring when the album hits. They draw rabid fans in that market- and it's potentially double the exposure in the US (US media will be covering it for sure) with all spanish speaking media outlets in the US.

They did it in 2002, and everyone's still alive.
