GNR Tokyo truck

[FujiTV]

Hmm so in Katakana it's "Guns And Roses" or directly "Ganzu ando Rosezu" (the last character is either Su or Zu, I can't tell if the accent is there or not).

These trucks make sense if you've ever seen how Japanese elections work (where candidates drive around at all hours of the day BLARING their message over loudspeakers). For whoever asked, it's not an equipment truck, it's just for advertising.

Not that it matters all that much, but it's definitely a "zu".

I love that picture... I really wish they would hype these tours with an official tour DVD. Just cut some songs together, make it 30 minutes or so. Use it to introduce the new lineup to casual fans that may pick the DVD up if it were the right price.

Nothing's really "popped up" ? ?"that" is just an optical illusion ?

Gotta love Anchorman.

Not that it matters all that much but the U is mute , so it's actually pronounced Guns and Roses

lol, it's just the way English words wind up pronounced in Japanese, after being written in Katakana, and because of the differences in the language (no L sound, a lot of words ending in vowel sounds, etc).

Cool promotion though.

Ths is cool - ironically in the UK I work for a company that does this sort of thing amongst other things.  Didn't hear anything about GnR management wanting to promote the UK tour last year in this way.. still if they read this and have similar plans for Chinese Dem release they should let me know!!!

Still pretty cool though.

the truck has been proved to be real, but all the mopeds, bicycles and buildings look fake to me
