[DemocracyRose]

Why was this news removed from the frontpage??

[Mysteron]

I just wish that something would come from somewhere more official then Blabbermouth about this.

It says "according to a press release".

Do we know who issued the press release?

The promoter in Japan?

Creativeman is the Japanese promoter.

Oh ok. Cool. Well, guess that's official then.

I'll see if Guns will put something on their website

[ibelieveinaxl]

the news of the postponements/cancellations? should be put in the news section so people can see it right away without having to go into another section...the fans should know this...especially the ones who got screwed...me included...lucky me

again, no cancellation.

INJURY FORCES GUNS N' ROSES TO POSTPONE CONCERTS

Guns N' Roses have announced that they are postponing the start of their world tour which was due to start in Japan.

The Japanese concerts are being rescheduled. Guns N' Roses will be able to make their two scheduled performances headlining the MyCoke festivals in South Africa at the end of the month.

"I feel so bad right now,? explains bassist Tommy Stinson. ?I accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. I put my hand down to break my fall and heard a loud ?pop.' The next morning my hand looked like a balloon. I went to see my doctor and while the good news is that it?s not broken, the bad is news is it?s severely sprained and I may have done some ligament damage. We had our last rehearsal a few days ago and shipped the gear to Japan and then this happened. I feel horrible.

"I'd like to apologize to our Japanese fans that were looking forward to seeing us and know that we will we see you all soon. Again, we'd like to sincerely thank our fans worldwide for their patience and support."


This is from the promoter and according to them gnr would like to go there after this july.

Man, I can not believe this!!! Do some of you need to see a picture - on the GNR's website - of Tommy's sprained wrist to believe that's true?!?

And, even if a picture of Tommy's sprained wrist were posted on the official website, I'm SURE that some of you would say it's photoshoped!!

I can't believe you call yourselves "fans"...GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!!!

Tommy, get well soon!

Just curious... what exactly do you think the official site is for, if not getting out official word of what's going on with the band?

If some Japanese kid hears that the show is cancelled, the first thing he's going to do is check the band's site. ?

Over and over again, Axl and the band have told us to check the OFFICIAL site for OFFICIAL updates. ?Is it unreasonable to expect them to uphold their end of that agreement?

good question?  could there be hope for the shows ??

good point right there.still waiting to see this on the band official site.

If it was in japanese.

[GnR-NOW]

Honestly, if its postponed then its postponed.  Im sure they'll be an update on the site and if theres not then who knows. but nothing we can do about it.

[mega_music]

Fuck! Here we go all over again!!!!! We gotta love the drama of being a Guns N Roses fan!

[Pinball Wizard]

I agree that it has to be on the band's official website, after all, it's the BAND'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE.

I'm pissed because I can't believe that someone would think that the band created a fake situation just so there would be a reason for them to don't go play in Japan, or whatever. I mean, tommy is a person just like us, he can fall down and hurt his wrist! If you don't like it, go talk with Isaac Newton!

Shit happens, we move on!! And it's not like the tour got canceled, on the press-release it says that the band is postponing the beginning of the tour...that's all!

If some japanese kid get mad with this, he/she can just take his/her ticket money back and move on!

[Danny]

Fuck! Here we go all over again!!!!! We gotta love the drama of being a Guns N Roses fan!

HEY! ?At least this gets us thinking about something other than not listening to the album. ?Plus, maybe this extra time will mean that the tour will be changed to the Chinese Democracy World Tour.



I don't know. ?I'm just spit-balling here.

[GnR-NOW]

remember they did postpone and make up shows during the 06 Euro Tour and they did postpone the start date to the 06 NA Tour, so there is no reason to actually believe they wont come through again.  Now if you want to go back to 2001 and 2002, its a different story, but I doubt that will happen.

[jarmo]

Most of you need to calm down.

It's like all of a sudden this board is full of people who have tickets to the Japanese shows.

Not being negative here, but a few shows were cancelled at the end of the last tour that were never made up. ?I'm just pointing this out to correct your statement. ?There's no doubt in my mind that these Japanese shows will be made up.

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

again, no cancellation.

maybe it says postponed. but judging by what "postponed" meant for the US leg last year (reno, the cali shows (excl la), and tennessee...) that would mean "cancelled." those are just the facts, plain and simple.

[Jim Bob]

Did anyone stop to think that this might be an opportunity to release the album and do these shows after the album is out?

everyone always assumes the worst and no matter what, they are lying.  they are damned if they do, damned if they don't.    most of the "complainers" in this thread were also complaining about the fact that they were touring without an album.     

and you wonder why axl doesn't want to communicate with the fans much?  can you blame him?  you all are a bunch of ungreatful whiny fucks who accuse him of everything.  I would feel alienated from my fans too.
