My friend says that they don't necessarily have opening acts in japan.

right.  I dont think any were announced but I would assume at least Bach would be there.

Maybe...but Sebastian Bach is headlining his own 4 shows in Japan starting June 1st.

GN'R postpones tour, Stinson injured
 
Tommy Stinson is recovering from a sprained hand after an accidental fall.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."

Sweet.  Good update.  Cool pic.

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.

No, they were rescheduled at first. But they decided to use January to work on the album so eventually they had to cancel those dates. You can't be in two places at once.


Portland, ME and Milwaukee, WI were cancelled.

Being a GNR fan rules

awesome pic, there should be a photo section where we can check out some of George Chin's photos from last years tour

[GNR Narc]

This is great news in my opinion!! Not that Tommy hurt himself, but the fact these shows have been delayed. Axl, please use this blessing in disguise to finish the album.

Naw. ?This is different. ?That was the end of a tour. ?And THEY were postponed because the band needed to finish up the album...which they did, by the way.

This situation is the beginning of the tour...where there is plenty of time to reschedule. ?It's not like GNR has many, many months of shows on the schedule. ?There's plenty of time to make these up.

they finished the cd? i dont think so. march 6th came and went and they even said it aint done...and oh, i wasnt able to buy the cd yet in the store, did you?

[Danny]

You must have missed this:

The good news is that all of the recording for the album has been completed.


The album has been finished for about 50 days now.  Where have you been?

[Mark7955]

Unfortunate news but lets all just hope he recovers soon and they can kick off the 2007 World Tour in the early summer. Also hopefully at the same time we will all have Chinese Democracy to go along with the tour. Get well soon Tommy!

maybe so, but they said they were cancelling the january shows to get the cd out by march 6th....that didnt happen.

Making alot of assumptions...you should go to the GNR site and carefully read all of the updates fro the last 6 months.

[ppbebe]

How many times do I need to repeat it?

Axl said they would finish some minor details on the album. It's been done.

The March 6th was a tentative release date, not a promise.

It was mentioned on gunsnroses.com in February that there were scheduling difficulties and delays which contributed to the album not being out in March.
