That's awesome that Bach is still coming. Would have been very dissapointed if he had to pull out. And of course, great to get word from Axl (all be it through Bach).
This June can't come fast enough- going to both Sydney shows- a weekend of Bach and Guns N' f'n Roses!
Will be my first time seeing the Gunners, and I'm pretty lucky to have my second time being just a day later.
I feel all the frustrations that come with being a Gunners fan will be liffted as soon as the opening notes of WTTJ ring out. Can't wait.

This is fantastic, sold out in 30 minutes

Second shows for Melbourne and Sydney, I knew this was gonna happen.

This is going to be the biggest tour down under this year by a mile.

I assume this is proof to everyone that this tour is go!

Like I posted above, it's certainly stretching of the truth there to say that tickets sold out in half an hour on the 26th April since tickets have been on sale since Monday 16th April in various internet presales.

They've had two presales before going on sale to the public today. One was a presale for VISA card holders on Monday 16th, the other was a presale for ticketek members on the 23rd. To say they ALL sold in 30 minutes today is a stretch of the truth.

I know it's all for hype though.

It's also stretching the truth cause Melbourne isn't even sold out yet. Logged in there half an hour or so ago, and there are tickets left, although to their credit it's very close.

At the time of those reports though, there were two sections fully available, while two were limited availability.

GREAT it's selling well though!!!!!!!

GN'R could have done a stadium EASY! Just shows how massive GNR are!

I'm glad they didn't though, Acer Arena is big enough as it is!

great stuff!

TICKETS for the Sydney show of the upcoming Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy World Tour sold out in 30 minutes when tickets went on sale this morning.
With 14,000 tickets snapped up within half an hour, a second show was added shortly after for June 24 at Acer Arena.

"The interest has been phenomenal,'' said promoter Paul Dainty, Chairman of Dainty Entertainment, adding that the Melbourne and Brisbane dates had sold out as well.

"We think when we look back on 2007 it will be a real rock n' roll highlight.''

After a 14 year break from Australia, the Gunners will be back on local soil when they arrive in Perth on June 10 and will travel the country until June 25 ? whereupon they will head to New Zealand.

Hopefully this will get the radio stations off their arse and realise people in Australia love the Gunners, and for a band they refuse to play virtually at all, tickets are going like Grandma Myrtles hot scones at the local weekend market.

We might hear Sweet Child or November Rain once a week on the MMM's and very very rarely they might play KOHD.
Pathetic. Haven't heard anything else in years, expect for YCBM once about 3 months ago and I'd reckon the 1st time in over 5 years that was.

Our radio stations suck here (actually our only rock station has turned into a 1970's middle of the road station? , refusing to play Gunners, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Faith No More or anything that remotely rocks).

[badapple81]

It sucks how many are on ebay right now. Some are selling like 10 or 20 at a time

Triple M in Adelaide, South Australia plays AC/DC every hour, somtimes even back to back. Led Zep also get heaps o air play. Triple M has a music jury where you can vote for the songs that you want to hear - its catch phrase is "Triple M rocks Adelaide"......

[badapple81]

Triple M sydney blows now.

They play 70s and 80s pop rubbish.

They are not a rock station anymore.

[stolat]

Well, Adelaide is alittle behind the other states....

I like the new GNR logo they have on the Vector Arena site. Very simple, but cool

SEBASTIAN BACH: The Show Must Go On - Apr. 25, 2007 
 
Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach has posted a 75-second video update at this location. A transcript of the message reads as follows:

"Sorry about the confusion over the dates ? the Australian dates and the Japanese dates. What happened was my drummer, Bobby Jarzombek [HALFORD, ex-ICED EARTH, RIOT], broke his wrist. I've played with Bobby for years and years now, and he is the greatest drummer that I've ever played with. My immediate thought was that I cannot do the dates in July. But over the past two days I have found out that there are a couple of drummers who might be up to the challenge. I look forward to trying out a couple of guys this week that I know are professionals [from] big bands. It's gonan be exciting. But the point of all this is to let you guys all know that the show will go on. Yes, we are coming to Japan; yes, we are coming to Australia. There was a lot of confusion over the Australian dates with GUNS N' ROSES, so I decided to cut out the middle man and text Axl Rose, and the answer that he gave me last night was, yes, 100%, we are going to Australia with ROSE TATTOO. And I could not be more excited."
