Looking at those dates it is very possible the record company wants them in the U.S doing press and media whoring as those were all the 2 weeks prior to Libertad's release. That is just my theory, but I could easily see that being the case.

Weren't they aware of this possibility when booking dates for the tour?  I don't buy that as a legitimate excuse.

She's bitching about the concert being cancelled - but The Who are still playing. The kid aint alright......

[Ines_rocks!]

oh so it wasnt just the lisbon show! this is all so weird... actually they cancelled almost of the whole european tour! well I just hope they set up other dates so we can all go see them. It would be so dissapointed if it didnt happen 


p.s Can some mod change my thread?s title to "some european shows cancelled"?

I agree! ?How could they be unaware of conflict at such a scale and venue? And why couldn't the c.d. be released while on tour?? There is a hugh european market and audience available to start it off and then VR comes back to the states to do public relations crap.? Something isn't right here.? ?....JMack.....

[Intercourse]

Often times, bands & record labels use an outside promotional company to book their tours. Sometimes there is a conflict. This would have almost nothing to do with the band (unless someone inside the band can't or won't do them).

And when it happens to GN'R they get torched up. Double standards ?

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Must be due to poor ticket sales 

[Grouse]

I think those shows were booked with the original release date in mind...

[Misya Rose]

I hope that they doesn't cancel their concert in Italy...

Where's the backlash that Axl gets when Guns cancels a show?

yeah...if it was Axl cancelling some shows, im sure we had a 50 page thread with people crying and pointing fingers.

I was going to see VR in Lisbon and i'm sad with the way things are turning, and in the VR site there is no explanation of why this is happening...i hope they reschedule.
