South African shows cancelled

[Tommie]

I think it is time  we get a full update that touches on all this subjects from the band.

There is no better time than right now to release a really good press release.  If they dont do it now, I fear they never will.

i'm also disappointed by news from SA, it's the first time i'm disappointed since 1987 but i can't believe that news about GN'R could make some people going so crazy  why this info is so horrible for some of you, that you allow you to insult people, members of GN'R or members of this forum 

[the dirt]

you wanna stop speculation? then talk about shit openly...you keep a ton of secrets? then people make up the truth

Or you can not give a damn what anyone thinks, fans, critics, and the pope alike.

[estrangedpaul]

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?

Why not inform the fans at the same time as they inform the promoter, or within hours after?

I have no problem with a cancellation due to tommy being hurt.

Just so we are clear, my problem is with no official word.

There comes a time when even the strongest of heart begins to feel they are beginning to falter.? Oh the pangs...the pangs...."...love lift us up where we belong..."?

Phew. At least there's still some humor around here.

We go through this every month or two...it's really cleansing for the mind body, and spirit...it's kinda like a cathartic spring cleaning...and the catalyst is usually a bonehead event like today...it's all good!

Then why have a message board about GNR. Everything is in darkness nobody knows the truth about anything anymore, without speculation there would be nothing to discuss. 

dont ask anything if you don't agree, just gtfo and leave the fans alone.

[russtcb]

Well lets discuss the facts.

The promoters world wide are putting out statements the tour is cancelled.

No update form the band.

Tommy is hurt, how bad we do not know, obviously worst then first thought by promoters response.

Axl said in December the Album would be out as close to March 6th as possible.

Del said a month ago the album was in mixing.

We have heard nothing from the label.

I think it is time ?we get a full update that touches on all this subjects from the band.

Atleast lets hope soon anyway.

While I don't feel that Guns N' Roses "owes" me anything, I agree with this post.

[Bruno Poeys]

oh and by the way, my friends never laughted at me cause i'm a Gn'R fan.
if someone laughted at you maybe some friends like Iron Maiden and other heavy metal bands, so they always say that hard rock is shit and etc.

What did you log in now under your other username.

You GTFO 

Speculation comes along with any type of message board. I agree it should be kept in check. The problem is the factual info that is given is very small .

[Kallyopia]

i think we're not the only one to be sad, people in SA and members of GN'R must be too. I hope that they didn't make choice against us but they take best decision for people who want to see them at gigs 

[redx]

Tommy has an injured hand, its that simple. No Tommy, no live gigs 
The band could have used a temp bass player, but for whatever reason chose not to 

There are those that think the whole Tommy thing is made up, and Axl is behind the delays 
The official Gn'R site should post a photo of Tommy's hand 

[FunkyMonkey]

If I have this right the only promoter we have heard from is from South Africa.

There has also been reports in the Mexican press and in the South African press...and the Australian information was reported in the South African article. 

I have seen nothing so far in the Australian press or from the promoter there.

Do I have this straight?

[russtcb]

Took a break from posting links that having nothing to do with Guns N' Roses to recap the thread?

Lol. jk.

I by no means think I'm owed anything .

It is just common curtisy to be honest and informing when possible when you are make a living off of a fans or poeple who support your art.

IMHO anyhow

Well we can also feel sad for the folks in Mexico because it is appearing that those shows are too "unofficially" cancelled....Next Up...Australia and New Zealand!

a protocol droid that is fluent in over 6 million forms of communication and service would be really useful right now as a replacement for tommy.

Yep....I honestly don't see how it's out of line to feel that way.
