South African shows cancelled

[sofine11]

Thanks Axl

Don't blame Axl. ?Blame gravity. ?That's what caused Tommy to fall.

I guess we should also blame gravity for the 0 information we have been given on CD, as was promised.

Sir issac newton.

Thanks Axl

For what?

Not releasing a press release was not cool

[killingvector]

Sir issac newton.

Albert Einstein too.

[sofine11]

The article probably put some sort of negative spin on shows being cancelled...

God, or should I say Jarmo, forbid.

0 information? ?I could have sworn we were told that the album is done recording and is being mixed.

Anyway, how would gravity affect that? ?Someone needs to take a remedial physics class.

Its called sarcasm dude.  And if you think the mixing statement was a good way of explaining the current status of CD and why the 3-6 release date wasnt met, youre really as dumb as you sound.

Actually, no.  What I originally said is sarcasm.  What you said made absolutely no sense.  What does gravity have to do with not hearing something?  Sarcasm has to make sense to work.  Apparently you need to take a remedial english class too.

And as far as the release date thing...you specifically said "0 information" so I pointed out to you how that is not true.  Zero is a pretty definitive number.  After you complete your remedial English and Physics classes, sign up for remedial math.

Thanks Axl

For what?

Not releasing a press response, word on the street is new gnr is donezo!

It doesn't look good right now does it?

[AxlNow]

 
 The band now has plenty of time on their hands to make sure the CD is released. There is your positive outlook for today. Happy Weekend!

[Danny]

It doesn't look good right now does it?

And you know what else?  It really doesn't look bad either.  Now, if 6-9 months go buy with no reschedules and no real news on the album, then it would look bad.


Which is entirely feasible, unfortunately.

Mabye they intend to showcase a hell of a lot more new material in the live shows this year and they want Tommy to be part of that unveiling

I was pondering this today whilst working away. There was various allegations of Tommys frustration of the lack of new material last year being played live, the guy has been a part of this whole fruitless saga for an eternity.

Could it not be possible that the Guns are now fully loaded and ready to start showing what they have been working on and it would detract to the part that Tommy played in this long, long, loooooong process. If it was unveiled with yet another stand in, the work of "the band" would not be acknowledged by many of the critics, it would once again be" Axl and his hired guns".
Tommy might be saying "I want to be there when we start playing our music", it is a nice gesture that they would be prepared to take the all the backlash to show the guy how much he means to the project if that was the case.

Or it could all be BS, because after 8 years of waiting I am just as cynical as the next guy.

Wouldn't remedial math come before remedial physics? 

[Danny]

You're probably right.  Although in this case I doubt it matters.  He will most-likely not finish any of the courses.

Haha, easy killer.? Well as little sense as I seem to be making to you, the fact that youre implying GNR fans have been kept well informed makes even less sense.? Now I'll take those English and Physics classes if you seek out a Reality class.? Do they offer those around you? : )

[SterileEyes]

Happy 4/20 indeed!


...it's nobody's fault, it's unfortunate and I'm not blaming anybody, just sayin... 

[Danny]

Ok...we're all done killing time here, I think.


So Jarmo: What's the deal with the news store about the cancellations being removed on the front page?

You bring up some good points. However, at this point they still need to respond to the fans at their web site as to why a Hired Gun couldn't play the festival dates. As I said before, headlining a festival is WICKED important. And you don't have to have experience in the music biz to think, "3 weeks is a long time. A replacement bass player could surely learn all the songs and at least cover the S.A. dates."

[mega_music]

I am just so concerned what is happening. I am trying to be optimistic but damn it doesnt sound good. Axl needs to write up something and put on the official site, or have Del or someone give us an update. Any kind of information on regards to Chinese, to the status of the band, to a tour. Why are we always left in the dark from things and the only news we get is a Press Release or a report on some foreign website. Why cant the band or Axl just give us a few  updates on the site? They would gain so much compassion from the fans it would be worth it.

LOS ANGELES (Geffen Records) - According to promoter Paul Dainty has confirmed that the GUNS N' ROSES Australian dates will go ahead as scheduled.

"Only the Japanese dates have been changed," Dainty told Undercover News. They have 70 dates this year and they are airing on the side of caution".

GUNS N' ROSES, in a badly worded press release issued today, inferred that the group's entire tour was to be delayed, which put the Australian dates in question but that will not be the case. "GUNS N' ROSES have announced that they are postponing the start of their world tour which was due to start in Japan," it read.

Dainty spoke with injured GN'R bassist Tommy Stinson today. "The guy is so embarrassed," Dainty said. "He walked down a couple of steps and fell over. He put out his had to protect himself, as you do, went to bed and when he woke up it was swollen."

To clarify the position, only Japan will be affected. The Japanese dates which were going to happen from April 14 have been moved to July.

The tour will now start in South Africa on April 27 and then head to Australia on June 10. The first Australian date is in Perth at Burswood Dome and will be followed with dates in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland.

Special guests on the tour will be ROSE TATTOO and SEBASTIAN BACH. One more local act is still to be announced.
