South African shows cancelled

[badapple81]

One article actually says "Australia, New Zealand and Japan".

Well Japan has already passed!

I'm quite confident we are ok for the rest of the tour. Im sure they have no knowledge of the other shows.

Just a thought, is that why Pitman was playing bass at versace? perhaps

could this accident of happened earlier, and we are only hearing about it now, because they realize its not going to get better in time...

You know communication is the answer to all this, I will never understand why that is not possible. ?I know most of you wont see the connection but MCR have just announced their bass player is taking time off to start maried life, but their continuing to tour with a stand in most of their fans will probably support and understand because they have been informed. Whereas with guns its just continuous speculation. ?We all want to see this band on tour, know that its safe to book flights etc.. We love GNR music or we wouldnt be here, but sometimes its just so hard to keep the faith!! Just my opinion for what its worth.

Maybe Tommy wasn't in town that day? Also; Who cares? 

You know what the real reason for all of this is? We are just hours away from the FBI announcing that Tommy was the second shooter on the grassy knoll. You heard it here first. Motherfucker is hiding in a cabin in Montana right now. They'll never take him alive.

Personally I think they've cancelled the dates to begin promotion of the album....

dont know if this been postet or if its true:

From mygnr

I have rung Big Concerts here!
You may well know that the bass player fell down some stairs two weeks ago.
He has "not healed sufficiently" for the tour to go on. Therefore the tour is cancelled WORLDWIDE so I am told! This includes Aus I'm afraid as you lucky buggers (I love Aus.!) are part of the world!!!
YOU may like to know that the band's equipment is all in South Africa already!

Yeah but communication has never been a strong point of GnR - ?If Merck has not been replaced as Manager who is organising this kind of stuff?

Right, she called the promoter who happened to mention that the band's equipment is already in SA. Maybe she just read the same article we've already seen and the previous Tommy quote where he mentioned that the gear was already in Japan? Sounds like a total insider.

There is no evidence God (of any religion) exists, therefore I am not enthused about this appointment

[Megaguns]

you know.... ive thought about this all rationally..... its very early to call if its on or not. ?we have not even been informed on their website that the aussie gigs were on in the first place. Im not looking to read this anywhere else.....
fuck what some nobody says. its on until i officially read its off.

The quoted text is an email I recieved from the editor of the Newspaper that published the article - just to clarify.

Has Lemmy from Motorhead confirmed he is God? ?Sounds like good news!

well he won't come out and say it. but we all know that dude is .

[god of thunder]

Oh God....Could it come any worse? Somehow all the whiners on this board were right after all!

I am serious, this band has the worst luck ever! And what is even worse since Guns is already flawed by a record of canceled shows and tours they might not find a promoter anymore! I guess in the end they just do not care anymore about the reasons why shows and tours are canceled so often. And before someone starts bitching that GnR does not cancel more often than other bands: we all know they did/do.

I really hope that Tommy is getting better soon and PLEASE GnR get your shit together and release the album! I don`t think that anyone still has the patience!
