Threw us a bone.

On the old site, when the tour was actually occuring, I'm pretty sure the old dates "disappeared" on the date they happened, too.

It's not someone manually updating the site, FYI.? It's a script running in the background to populate the tour dates.? As a date arrives, the script automatically "removes" it from the visible list.

No they didn't up until a few months ago you were able to see all the 2001-2002 tour dates...

GN'R KICKS OFF NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
By Doug Miller / GunsNRoses.com

It's been over a decade since Guns N' Roses last went on a full-blown North American tour, but it didn't take very long at all for fans and critics to embrace them once again.

The first show of the Chinese Democracy Tour, which celebrates the long-awaited, upcoming album that features Axl Rose's latest all-star collection of musicians, went off without a hitch Tuesday night at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla.

Rose and his new lineup -- guitarists Robin Finck, Richard Fortus and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, familiar keyboard players Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman, bassist Tommy Stinson and drummer Frank Ferrer ?- tore through a more-than-two-hour set that included most of GN'R's classics plus a handful of eagerly anticipated new classics.

A dramatic introduction set the stage and, appropriately, "Welcome To The Jungle," the song that put GN'R on the map in the late 1980s, followed, with, as the Palm Beach Post blog described as "geysers of pyrotechnic flare-ups and the appearance of the strutting Rose, his multi-colored braids tied back behind his head."

After that, the band ripped through "It's So Easy," "Mr. Brownstone," and the Wings cover "Live And Let Die."

After that came the first of individual solos from each of the very talented members of the band. Guitarist Robin Finck, formerly of Nine Inch Nails, took the first one, which led into the familiar lead riff of what the Post called a "gleeful" rendition of one of GN'R's all-time hits, "Sweet Child O'Mine."

GN'R's famous Bob Dylan cover, "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," came next, which led into "You Could Be Mine," a jam by keyboard player Dizzy Reed and a new song called "The Blues."

After Rose introduced the band, guitarist Richard Fortus took an extended solo, warming the band up for a run through "Out Ta Get Me," new track "Better," the hit ballad "November Rain" and new song "IRS."

"Don't Cry" was the centerpiece of the solo by Bumblefoot, the third member of the GN'R guitar trio, which had fans singing along at the top of their lungs.

That set the tone for "My Michelle." Then GN'R slowed things down a bit and fans heard what the Post described as "the welcome whistle of 'Patience.'"

After a super-adrenalized version of "Nightrain," the band left the stage, returning for an encore of "Chinese Democracy" and "Paradise City." The new song, according to the Post, "blended seamlessly into the rest of the Guns N' Roses canon, and the modern Guns N' Roses blends seamlessly into the band's legend."

The fireworks of the evening added up to what the Post concluded to be "pretty much the most exciting, gut-pumping, lighter-flicking thing seen so far this year in South Florida."

Soon enough, GN'R fans throughout the rest of the continent will find out for themselves.

Notice that they don't mention Brain at all, call Frank the drummer (not replacement or anything like that), and say it went off without a hitch, which I think implies that brain is no longer in the band. ?This is from the official GNR website so you'd imagine it isn't a mistake.
