I hate speculation, but I'm too excited about the idea of a tour in support of Chinese Democracy. How long after an album's release is it normal (I know GN'R are not normal, thank God for that!  ) for a band to go out on tour? Thanks!  I just want to know so even if it's too early to speculate, I can start dreaming  |

Most bands do it a few weeks before or after a release but from what I read in that Fortus interview, I'm guessing It will start sometime between june and september next year.  |

I just want to know so even if it's too early to speculate, I can start dreaming It's normal for a band to have already been touring for a couple of months before the album's released. It's all a part of the promotion that they seem determined not to do (along with interviews, music videos, etc.). |

But GN'R have already toured for years with some of CD's songs on the setlist and under the Chinese Democracy banner. The next tour will have to be to support the released album and to finally give the fans access to all of the songs live!  |

Thanks! I must have missed that interview, what did he say? Basically he said he is busy with other projects until early January and then they are getting together around that time. I say June/Sep because I don't think a tour will be announced until Jan/Feb and once its announced it usally has about 5 to 6 months of promo before the shows. But like you said, this is GN'R and they do, do things a little differently. So you never know. I hope I'm wrong and they start touring around March. But I also think they will be in Australia for 2010 Big Day Out. Gunns cost me a fortune.  |

maybe with this new tour we will find out the name for the next record  ... and hear some songs from the next record  OK. back to being serious, I think they planned to tour form January, but may have to postpone it now if (as) Robin is out. |

It wont be january. That only gives max of 8 weeks between promo and shows. Assuming they beging promotion today. Can't see that happening. Would be nice though. |

I'd say that if they start rehearsing in January, they could be on the road in March/April. Maybe they'll do Reading and Leeds Festivals in August.

I'm guessing that they'll tour on summer in Europe again like 2006! It's best way to promote album on all those festivals at that time. Lots of people in one place, and pretty good chance for promoting album!  And maybe they'll come to Serbia on EXIT Festival 09! It's in my hometown and the festival is celebrating 10th birthday. Guns'n'Roses will be the best f***** present for festival, my town and my country! So Axl, do Europe next year on summer! |

Richard said to me back in October that plans were being made then for the tour so I think we will hear more over the coming month or so.

The Rolling Stone article made a reference to a 2009 World Tour.

They will probably get together in January to rehearse. I'm sure they'll play a few shows before beginning their tour. Maybe a few small shows and festivals in February/March/April. Robin will be on tour with NIN so who knows...we may not see or hear anything until May or June. I'm still disappointed in how they promoted the album this week  .  |
