How long will the World Tour last?

[smugolo]

so gn'r have started announcing dates for the next world tour

do you think axl is planning another epic 'use your illusion' style tour, with multiple legs spanning a couple of years?

i think to pull off a tour of significant length, the album has to drop, especially if they plan on returning to europe/america

[Jimmy?]

Well rumour has it, 70 dates are in the works.....

[Lucky]

there's about 240 days left in this year...
they better hurry up with those 70 dates.

Mr. I fall down go boom, you mean? LMAO, get Pitman!

I doubt this tour will span multiple years. Maybe the rest of 2007, but I really doubt years. We saw what happened after the 3 year Illusion tour, and I don't want it happening again.

In 2006, from May 12th to December 20th, the band played 72 shows. Not including the two surprise acoustic shows.

Three shows were canceled on the North American tour.



Anybody who thinks they can't play about 70 shows this year because it's already April don't know their recent GN'R history.

The good news I guess is that with 70 dates supposedly being planned it must mean we are getting the album at some point, because there are not 70 places left to play that they can go hit up again without having an album out. Australia, Japan and South Africa were among the last big markets they hadn't hit yet, so unless they are planning on playing in Siberia it might be a good sign that those newer dates we don't know yet would be in markets they are starting to go back to that will require the album being released.

[welshrose]

Well let's assume it might be something like this.

South Africa: two shows
Japan: five shows
Australia: five shows
New Zealand: one show

13-15shows in Oceania/Asia/Africa (just in case they add in Thailand or something)

Most likely...

Argentina: two shows
Brasil: three shows
Chile: two shows
Colombia: one show
Mexico: three shows

10-12 shows in South America/Mexico

[Robman?]

20-25 shows in UK and Europe
20-25 shows in the us

[acdcUSSR]

And hopefully, some of those Asian, South American, and South African shows will be broadcast on TV!

[Gargh!]

Hmmm.... I think Axl's getting on a bit to be touring like he was in his twenties again.

[Verse Chorus Verse]

Hmmm.... I think Axl's getting on a bit to be touring like he was in his twenties again.

Well, he's only 45, so it's not that bad. But then again, he did do a lot of drugs in his time...well, as long as he doesn't drop dead.

Axl is in very good shape.

I believe that is the plan, yes. Axl said in an interview in 2002 that they would be touring the world off and on, much like with the Illusion tour.

[AdlerAddict]

I'm thinking it will go through early 09' easy.

[Africa]

That is possible, he did say something along the lines of them touring for a few months, going back, touring again for a few months, and that this will continue for at least a couple of years. Can anyone dig up the actual quote?

[Africa]

Never mind, I found it myself

Quote from Axl from their press release before launching the 2002 tour:

"This thing is starting now and much like Use Your Illusions that went for two and a half years, this thing is going to go off and on for the next two or three years and we?ll see how it goes. We?re really looking forward to seeing all the different people in the different countries and this is a great opportunity.?

I didn't know that this was said.

I'd be curious to read it also.
