South African shows cancelled

[Axlfreek]

Im sorry to say that I now fear for the future of this band if this is true.

Seriously, can we start a fund here? I just want one (1) penny for every time someone says that.

In the 11 years i've been a fan that is the first time i have said that.

Maybe im just freaking out.

[charlesfosterkane]

if the wrist is worse than first thought or he reaggravated it or something then they are probably wary of saying 'we will be _____ for certain. bet on it. spend more money on it.'

[Danny]

I'll answer that Jarmo. ?Yes. ?I think it's totally possible. ?In fact, I think it's totally plausible. ?It would just be nice if this is all spelled out a little more for us on their website is all...you know, so we don't have to do all this speculating.

[^faeryeV]

Why did the damn bugger fall down the stairs in the first place? was he drunk? 

[John Galt]

its also pathethic in the sense that the band has said nothing! they are leaving it to the promoter to tell us about it. i think its just plain rude and disrespectful to the fans for the band to just not show up and not even comment about it...more like cowardness....

Do you know what time it is in California, where I assume most of the band is located?


Oh, and for your information, Tommy did explain his injury last week.

The promoter even used his quote.


there you go again...they must have known this for a while and still they say nothing, nothing...i mean dude , you run the website , but can you please see through this bullshit and forget the spin...its old, man

I'm not trying to be a smartass here, but do you actually have some thoughts on this whole deal you might be able to share with us?

I am honestly wondering what you might be thinking is going on at this point.

I haven't heard anything.

But it's only a week ago that Tommy injured himself. I'm no doctor, but I wouldn't be surprised if they noticed he wasn't gonna make a full recovery in time.

I guess it's just frustrating that promoters etc announce first before the official band source via web or press release. ?And I don't buy the time difference argument. ? Presumably somebody in the GnR set up told the SA promoters, shit the injury is not healing, we can't make it, we have to cancel. ?At the same time as this they should have posted an update on their webpage. ?That would be the smart thing to do

[gnrpatience]

Hello dudes,


This is just a bad rumour, in some newspapers it says that Mexico cancelled their recent tour in Mexico, i hope this is just a fucking rumour i already had my Mty Tcikets and my airplane ticket!

Hopefully we'll get an official update within the next few hours.

Promoters have also been announcing shows and ticket sale info before it's been on the official site.

It looks like Mexico is off now also

it's true

 

[crazycheryl]

Why couldn't they just get a damn replacement for Tommy?

That's a really good point.

[Nytunz]

i hate the word cancel.. they dont say postponed.. ?

well I think this will turn out to be true as it matches the other reports!

I guess the world tour is postponed till autumn now, so they can be sure that Tommy?s hand has healed. But to be sure every single band member should have a 24h personal assistant on their sides from now on so noone does bs anymore.

Maybe they even have to wait now until fans over the world forgot about this incident because this has been the worst advertising ever! Tons of sold out shows cancelled; I think it is pretty safe to assume that it will be way harder to sell out the 2007 Take 2 tour (if it is supposed to happen in 2007).......

it's true

 

It is - but are the promoters being premature, or is the GnR PR management too slow in keeping up with them?  If the promoters are selling tickets and GnR are not in a position to confirm they should be hauled back into line ASAP if that was the case - in this digital age acting quickly is key

[GnR-NOW]

It's tough for us not to think the worst with this band. ?Because every bad rumor is most likely true and every good rumor is usually false. ?When the Hammerstein shows went on sale, that had to be one of the best times to be a GNR fan, and when the US tour went on sale and the new site came up, it was all very exciting. ?Realistically though, and I don't know for sure, but every other band in the world handles these situations the same way, they just don't have that loyal following GNR has, and we do at times over analyze everything. ?But again GNR had a more then solid 2006, so let's see this whole thing out.

[slashsbaconpit]

This is a bad joke.

Oh well, it's not like we're loosing anything. Except faith in GNR's ability to put on a complete tour. Or an album.

[von]

I think it's a safe bet to say, and this is coming from various different sources outside of this one website, that the band, at least in its current incarnation, is over. Take that as you wish

You forget that GnR has no manager right now :hihi:At least not one that we know

They cancelled / postponed some shows, that's all.
