Proper Promotion?! Duh?

[waxlrick]

At least the band are now playing a few new songs which goes some of the way to justifying promoting it as the Chinese Democracy World Tour 2007. It goes without saying that it would have been better just calling it a World Tour. They are not promoting an album and they are not even intrudicing the new songs to a mostly unsuspecting crowd. Very strange approach???

After seeing the 2 Brisbane concerts I can honestly say that it is a great show and I am glad they mostly play old stuff because most people dont have a clue about the new shit. But had they have released the fucking album that wouldn't be the case.

Regardless of all that it will always puzzle me as to why the have named the Mexican and Australian shows after an album which to date doesn't officially exist (if you know what I mean?)

the promoter is told by a band what the name of the tour is. if it says "cd world tour," thats from the band,  not the promoter.....

How come it's only the Australian promoter who does it?

here's the new zealand pr...
The Return of Guns n' Roses
Believe the hype. Guns N? Roses are back. The Chinese Democracy World Tour and another awesome moment in musical history is upon us. Sit down, strap in and hold on? it?s gonna be one hell of a ride.

After 14 years, the biggest and baddest band in the world, the rock?n?roll machine known as Guns N? Roses, is set to return to New Zealand shores in June as part of their mammoth Chinese Democracy World Tour.

This will be the first time New Zealand audiences have seen the band since their legendary 1993 performances at Mt Smart Stadium (52,000 tickets sold). Guns N? Roses will play just one show in Auckland on Friday 29 June at the new Vector Arena; there will be no other New Zealand dates. Tickets go on sale Monday 30 April.

2006 saw Guns N? Roses perform over 70 concerts all over the world to rave reviews. With the release of the highly anticipated and long awaited Chinese Democracy album imminent, 2007 promises to be the time that Guns N? Roses reclaim their throne as the world?s most dangerous band. Lead vocalist W. Axl Rose, guitarists Robin Finck, Ron ?Bumblefoot? Thal and Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboard players Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman, and drummer Frank Ferrer are a rock n? roll spectacular that have to be experienced to be believed.

Guns N? Roses special guests for the show will be none other than former Skid Row singer, the irrepressible SEBASTIAN BACH and Australia?s ROSE TATTOO.

Skid Row were the main support act for the legendary Mt Smart performance, and since then Bach has remained in the public eye through a series of acclaimed musical roles, a part in the popular television series Gilmore Girls, and more recently, his controversial appearances in the reality TV show Supergroup. The vocalist did a world tour last year to packed out shows, and with his new band in tow, Bach promises to deliver the goods all over again.

ROSE TATTOO fronted by legendary Aussie Rocker ?Angry Anderson? are back after recently finishing their sell-out ?BLOOD BROTHERS? tour of Europe. The Tatts are set to rip it up onstage once again.

Tickets go on sale 9am Monday 30th April at Ticketmaster or ph 09 970 9700.

You said the band had told the promoter. I asked for proof of that.

I suspect the New Zealand shows are promoted by the same company as the Australian shows.

Dainty Consolidated Entertainment.



I don't know how you put mosaicodiffusion.com together with the Japanese shows. Maybe you Googled the date and the phrase, but the Japanese promoter's GN'R info is here: http://www.creativeman.co.jp/2007/GNR_special/index.html



I guess you think I'd make shit up just to argue about it with you.....

listen- i can understand that you are upset that they called it the "Chinese Democracy Tour" because most of the set is from appetite and i agree. the point is, the tour is being called the "chinese democracy tour" and it shouldnt be because 80-85% of the setlist is old stuff. oh , and btw, the promoter for australia and new zealand are different. and yes, i do think you like to make up stuff to challenege me for some reason. i dont get it. we are all fans here, no need for one-upping one another...that does nothing and i have much better things to do....

[jarmo]

and yes, i do think you like to make up stuff

Ok, that's all I need to know about you.



I'm not upset. I'm just telling you how it is and you refuse to believe me because apparently I lie all the time.

Yet nothing you've said here can be backed up by facts. For example you say the promoters are different yet you can't show me the proof.

The Vector Arena web site mention the DCE Group. Dainty Consolidated Entertainment?



It's quite apparent that you refuse to believe me for some reason and you keep arguing for the sake of arguing.

Have fun with that, I'll go back to "making shit up".
