Injury Forces Guns N' Roses To Postpone Concerts

[Africa]

I really, really hope Tommy's hand recovers for the South African dates.
They really deserve to see GN'R.

Your response makes no sense Jarmo. I bought a ticket because I wanted to hear more new songs. Since "Chinese Democracy" was supposed to come out I thought that I would get to hear more new songs. If they were honest and said that "Chinese Democracy" wasn't coming out I would have known that there was no chance of hearing more new songs and wouldn't have wasted my money. Don't you get that I would have never spent money seeing the band again if they hadn't lied about releasing Chinese Democracy? I understand that you don't want to bite the hand that feeds so I'll just shut up now.

They never lied you fucking retard.

^ This is really "Hammer Time" 

[PatrickS77]

it's one thing to carry an extra drummer when the other one is expecting a child--thats something you know about long in advance and can do something about, as they did last year.

Well, and even for that they were too stupid to get it right!

I mean, nobody (well, not all) is really complaining about the postponement, if the bassist really is injured! But the problem is, it's too convenient for the bassist to injure himself right before the tour starts, after they already cancelled a series of concerts to "get the CD" done! And given the bands history one might think that they try to avoid cancelling/postponing even more concerts, if they can help it!

what do you call playing over 80 shows around the world last year ?

Hmm, funding the recording of an album which is 13 years overdue??

Well, yeah, march 6 was tentative, but come on.

Open your eyes people, and start having actual opinions instead of nodding constantly.

I suppose telling "THIS IS THE YEAR" 2 times and yet, not releasing the album doesn't count as a "lie", it's a sentence which was later proven false, but not a "lie".

I don't say he owes us anything, but still, this is getting ridiculous.

[bigbri]

To those of you who say they shouldn't tour anymore before CD is out because you have already seen them, could you be anymore selfish?

I haven't seen them since 02. Haven't seen Better live, haven't seen Down on the Farm live, haven't seen IRS live, haven't seen TWAT live. Haven't seen Ron live. So, no, I don't think I'm being selfish.

Do you not agree that more fans can be had if a CD is available for people to purchase after people hear the new songs live?

Of course not.  That wasn't 'false' when it was said. he meant it but couldn't make it, that's all.
You don't call it a lie but maybe a case of honest mistake.

Or maybe being happy enough to tour as a band and give the fans something to see?

I'm sure the Greatest Hits is more than making up for the costs of Chinese Democracy.

And you think anything that's been made of the greatest hits went towards funding cd?...

I was referring to Merck's comment about the album coming out on one of the remaining 13 Tuesdays of 2006. Axl's tentative release date that wasn't a promise, a lie, or a guarantee meant nothing to me. I expect nothing at this point. I believe the fans deserve better than albumless tours but I don't expect anything more at this point. If all you care about is hearing the old material live than indeed go check out a show and have a good time. As someone who is a music fan I would like to see what the band can do on record and will be boycotting this band live until they release a record. Have a nice day!!

[ppbebe]

then leave the band and the fans that want to see the band live with and without a new album alone.
a gnr fan that really loves music would want to experience their show before the album as well as after.

What if you already experienced a show before the album in 2002? You just might have a different viewpoint like myself and others. I'm done debating now. Get well soon Tommy and hopefully you'll be kicking ass soon live, and on Vinyl!!

[25]

you'll be kicking ass soon live, and on Vinyl!!

Ooh, vinyl! I hope they bring the album out on wax cylinder too, in mono!

[bazgnr]

After getting over my initial "you've gotta be kidding me!" reaction, I just want to wish Tommy a quick recovery.  Looking forward to seeing the next US leg of the tour!

I felt the same way for a while too. Now I'm in the same state of mind. Hey Tommy: Get that hand better, play those dates and schedule some on my soil!

[Axlfreek]

Stinson could take advice from luke skywalker and get a cybernetic hand so they can play those dates. just an idea.

[Ganja4Life]

Tommy you fuckin rocked in N.B ? get well soon!!!

Never thought of that. Good idea.

[JB9988]

this does suck really bad and im so fucking pissed that tommy got hurt. The band has bad luck and is always getting bashed, ( i admit i do it too sometimes). I hope tommy get better soon not 13yrs soon more like a few weeks soon.

well, if they are still set to play the african shows, a few weeks sounds like what it will be.
