Guns n? Roses Planning Summer Stadium Tour

[MeanBone]

eddie might be a problem, he's a damn alcoholic and always messes things up.

but it should be a fun show

I'm not a big Van Halen fan, but I am excited that GNR is going to tour.

[gcluskey]

GNR to tour, that's great. I'd consider flying to the States to catch a concert there. I'd love to see someone playing with GnR like The Prodigy, U2, AC/DC, NIN or Muse this year

That a way...way to be politically correct for this board.

This could be the biggest failure in music history, but for some reason I don't think so.

If you don't think so, why say it?

Why not say something like "this could be the tour of the summer!"? 


Your president didn't win the election by telling the people he might fail!

That's not the way to win fights and succeed....



I see people already shooting down this whole idea (which shouldn't be a surprise).

What is a surprise is that it seems like many people have totally missed the fact that a GN'R stadium tour actually means that GN'R would be on tour playing shows! Playing shows for, you know, the fans!

Instead of focusing on that, some of you are more focused on the "oh no, it's gonna suck because the venue is too big and nobody want to see them" shit.

We have no announced dates, venues, acts on the bill with GN'R, ticket prices or anything and some of you are already writing it off.

 


Personally I can't wait to see the best band in the world on stage (that's GN'R for all you who needs things spelled out for you) and I don't care what venue they play.

 



By the way, I kinda doubt that HitsDailyDouble.com read their news on fan sites. I thought it was more connected to the music business than that?

You're right.  I am excited that they are on tour.  I'm hoping it's a big bill with some great bands.  I'm not sure I'll like a stadium show since they are so big.  But I did attend the Pearl Jam show in Chicago at Soldier Field and it was great but I was alot younger then lol.

At least I am being honest. Muse would be a great band to tour with GNR.

It's not Van Halen.  Eddie's kid is graduating from high school in May, and then they're heading into the studio to record new material. I just read this on the VH website last week. I doubt co-headlining with Guns would mean much to him.

[axlrosegnr]

I don't care who they play with, I just can't wait to see them again! (although, i really could do without VH, but like I said, besides Baz, i don't remember the last time I watched an opening act at a Gn'R show, so it doesn't make much difference to me)

[gnrlies247]

On planet rock (The radio station), the dj said there was a strong possibilty that gnr will be doing a stadium tour with van halen.Don't know where he got his information from though.

I saw that too, but plans can change.  He said that ahwile back.  Saying they'd put VH on the back burner until Wolfie graduated then they'd start recording for a new album.  BUT, if an opportunity like this just recently came along they might be intrigued to hit the road again on a massive tour and THEN focus on a new album.  It's possible.

How does Wolfgang's graduation in May impact a summer tour?  I think he would be happy to postpone college for a quarter/semester to do a huge tour.  Call me crazy but I would rather tour with Van Halen and Guns making money by the truckload than be sitting in class

Co-headlining with Guns may not mean much to him but the paychecks they would receive from such a tour certainly would.  This is the type of gig where Eddie would be making well into the six-figures every night they play

[TheRaven]

97.9 in Phoenix is promoting their morning show for Monday by saying that they're going to announce news on a "big concert" that will be headed this way. With all the mentions of GN'R and VH, maybe news will come out on Monday, eh?

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I need a change of underwear.

(If this is true.)

[Classic Case]

just to fuck a lot of people off, how about............

Motley Crue, Van Halen, Then Guns to headline 

or maybe substitute Poison for Motley 

Poison in touring w Def Lepard this summer, I got tickets for August.

Well, Eddie did say that VH was taking a rest until Wolfie graduated and then they'd like to see if they could get to work on a new album.  Eddie said he had a bunch of ideas, BUT he said they'd have to see if Dave would be interested, etc.  It sounded like it wasn't a sure thing, and touring would probably be the easier and more profitable thing for them to do.

Let's not forget that www.hitsdailydouble.com broke the Nov. 23rd release date before anyone else.  At least officially.  They reported it on October 8th and a day later all other media outlets were running with the story.  They were certainly right in that situation.  Not saying they've never been wrong, but they seem to be a reputable website who know a thing or two about the biz.  So there could be something to this.

Eddie has been saying he has new material for years, it seems a stadium tour for just the summer would be too hard to pass up for a big payday-Van Halen also actually opened up for Bon Jovi overseas back in 1995-Eddie's drinking has always been an issue, but it really hasn't stopped him from playing-see the 2004 with Sammy, where he was a mess-he seems to be doing better now, I think having his son on tour would be motivation for staying sober-this would be a great double bill, it's hard to say with the economy, but the last tour with Roth did really, well, and I think for rock fans there are not a whole lot of options for tours like this coming up-Poison tours the sheds every year, and Def Leppard seems to tour every summer now-I could possibly see them switching headlining on different dates, but I doubt it would be that much of an issue

[russtcb]

I saw Halen twice on their reunion tour and it was amazing.

The prospect of seeing them and GNR in the same place on the same night is mind blowing.

[Fingers]

when Eddie is on, there is no one better-he is amazing-he is a lot like Axl through the years-not doing many interviews, and kind of touring when he feels like it-I would love another album with Roth-it would be an amazing show

[ereeper]

Casual fans that I've mentioned a possible VH/GN'R tour seem excited.  A lot more excited the the previous tours this decade.  The presents are under the tree, but we just can't open them yet...
