If Guns go on tour again in the USA with or without CD's release

[Jim Bob]

I'll go see them with or without the album.  Anyone saying they wuld get pissed off if they toured without an album is selfish and not really a true fan.    A true fan would be happy to have the opportunity to see their favorite band.    You have no right to demand anything and (in my personal opinion) its these leeches and pests that turns Axl away from communicating with his fanbase. 
 
If nothing else I hope they come back to Vegas and play the Joint or the HOB like they did when they first re-emerged in 2001, 2002, and  again in 2006.    Nothing compares to seeing GnR in a venue of 1500 people.

Come back to London, Ontario!? Great show a few years ago

They played in Ottawa on that treck too, didn't they?

And Toronto too I believe

[Rock the jungle]

I don't care at all if they tour again without CD but they should play more new songs not to repeat always the same stuff . I think it's a pleasure to see them live...

at least that's what I think

[JDA]

They need to tour with a new cd or people will start to stop coming to the shows.  If Axl doesn't want to put out a new cd. then get the old guys back together and tour.  That way you will guarntee to always have a full house.

Your not a real fan if you want that album before the next tour.

Wow. Just wow. I thought a real fan would want the album at any time, before or after another tour, I think fans just want the album at this point. We've all heard what an amazing job they do live. I thought most fans were ready for the next step ? the album.

But since you're the sole arbitrator of objective reality, I guess 90 percent of all GNR fans are not really fans at all. I've been listening to AFD since 1987. I was the first person in my town to own the Use Your Illusion albums. I supported Axl on countless messages on dozens of message boards during the years when news was lean. I wore GNR T-shirts to college classes. I even defended Axl to other metal fans when Slash was no longer part of the band in 1996 ? a move that, at the time felt like the final death spasm of GNR.  I've seen GNR do their thing live. I've even lost lots of money because I've booked a trip to a concert that was cancelled at the last minute because at the time, Axl or someone else in the band couldn't get their shit together. Yet, I still frequent GNR's official site, it's myspace page, this page and others looking for news, and signs of what's coming next.

But I'm not a real fan, because I want the album. You said it.

I agree with Jim Bob but well, I would like them to tour with the album out but in my opinion with or without an album to promote it is always a pleasure to have the chance to see them live. I just had the chance to attend two concerts in 2006 and it was not enough for me so, think about all those fans who haven?t had the chance to see them live yet or those ones who have never attended a GNR show. If you really want to see them you go see them no matter what, with or without the record.

Germany would be cool though 
But wait i once said that will not continue to support Axls' cash grabbing mentality.. ahh what the heck!! I'd go any day if they'd tour germany.
WOuld turn out to be fun one way or another

[COMAMOTIVE]

A tour again without this album would be a mistake.....again

[WhatIsItMan]

Don't come back to Chicago without the new album, damn it!!!!!!!!!!   

 

[NicoRourke]

But wait i once said that will not continue to support Axls' cash grabbing mentality...

If he was like that he would have released a ton of shitty material already

[GeraldFord]

It would be a terrible idea for GN'R to tour the States again without releasing Chinese Democracy. They could do it in 2002 because it was exciting to see Axl, and again in 2006 as people thought the album would be out soon...but to tour again without a new album would be pushing it.

[COMAMOTIVE]

...but to tour again without a new album would be pushing it.

Understatement of the fucking year.....

[martyngnr]

Would it be ok for them to announce the album release date say 3 or 4 months in advance then go on tour to preview the album?

[COMAMOTIVE]

Yes, it's not ideal, but I think that might work

[AxlsMainMan]

Axl said Gn'R would tour this year with or without the album, so I see absolutely no reason why they can't continue to tour without an album in tow.

IMO thats probably what will happen. New album or not they will play some new-er songs anyway so i cant see why the album being out would matter.

Lets be honest most people who even have a passing interest in GNR have heard/downloaded the leaked new songs so an official album release before the tour (while being very cool) isn't necessary.

By this year , you mean 2007?? Are you referring to the overseas tour he did earlier? Or are you expecting an announcement for Nov/Dec dates?

Either way, I don't share your view on why they should tour without this album. I think playing any more dates, without this album, an official single, or even a confirmed release date of this album would not only be counter-productive, it would be fucking dull.

Axl said Gn'R would tour this year with or without the album.

If that's the case, why can't they tour next year without the album?

Or are you expecting an announcement for Nov/Dec dates?

No.

Either way, I don't share your view on why they should tour without this album. I think playing any more dates, without this album, an official single, or even a confirmed release date of this album would not only be counter-productive

If the album is complete and all that remains is legal issues or business arrangements, what do you expect the band to do?

Sit around and twiddle their thumbs?

If they want to get out and play a few shows, who are you to stop them?

it would actually alienate a lot of the fans who are supporting? this current lineup just to hear the album.

They don't sound like fans to me if they're simply supporting Gn'R to get an album in return

[Kaleigh]

I would see them again, probably even multiple times, without question.   The atmosphere at a live GNR show is unlike any other concert I've been to, and being in a room with the band and all the people that love them is really something. 

GNR, please do some Vegas dates this year or next year!
