Asian tour - December 2009

[corviscain]

The 2009 G'nR concert announcement had actually shown at Linkin Park concert held in Taipei few days ago ,
but as a Taiwanese G'nR fan,
I'm not holding my breath on this one,
since said promoter has spread some false info about its up coming events.
(they had announced they'll invite bands like Eagles, Marilyn Manson..... but none of that happened)

so,
Yes, BBH is a legitimate promoter in Taiwan,
that did held many mainstream concerts,
and no ,
they are not just only  a ticket company nor this page is a scam,
but info about future events are in question.

another Taiwanese local newspaper (apple daily) claims GNR Asian tour will only include dates for Japan, Korea and Taiwan,

[jacdaniel]

There is NO smoke without fire as they say, BUT...
No word from the Guns Camp and tickets go on sale on saturday

And now we play the waiting game.  Hope this turns out to be true, but I just don't know.

These rumours usually doesn't pop up for no good reason.

I think (and hope) some work for a tour is going on behind the scenes. 

Considering Taiwan's often straind relationship to China, it would be cool as hell if they played there! Seems like a very "Axl-thing" to do!

Yeah I'm with you on this one.  Where's Merck when you need him?  May have got his ass fired but he was always willing to interrupt his weekend to take care of a paranoid fan base.

[Manets]

So.... it's real?? I'm gonna cry...

[The Hinge]

I hope this is true !

Interesting that you hear nothing, then all of a sudden dates appear in Tiawan of all places.
I suppose it gives them a chance to blow out all the cobwebs in front of less critcal audiences.
They also tend to kick off tours in Asia.
I wonder if they see the irony in the album title...

[ppbebe]

t's always promoters that announce shows first.
Now that they have the set prices and dates for the tickets, it's most likely true.

Made Taiwan the third Asian country to be visited by GNR after Japan and Korea.

do they mean there're playing japan and korea before Dec. 11?

This is similar to the situation with Sebastian Bach. A promoter was selling tickets to a SEBASTIAN BACH show in China, Japan, somewhere in Asia for awhile and Bach finally came out the other day and said he would NOT be headlining this show and that he had no idea why they were selling those tickets..

Could be true (which I hope) but could also be a fabrication.

[CheapJon]

do they mean there're playing japan and korea before Dec. 11?

nah, i bet that just means that they have played japan and south korea before

[ppbebe]

ok south korea  ...have they ever played in south korea? i know they played in mainland china. that's also an asian country isn't it?

btw

The heavy metal group "Guns 'N Roses"

GNR isn't heavy metal 

This is similar to the situation with Sebastian Bach. A promoter was selling tickets to a SEBASTIAN BACH show in China, Japan, somewhere in Asia for awhile and Bach finally came out the other day and said he would NOT be headlining this show and that he had no idea why they were selling those tickets..

I don't think so. Or this one would have killed already.

[Naltav]

do they mean there're playing japan and korea before Dec. 11?

nah, i bet that just means that they have played japan and south korea before

When did GNR play South Korea in the past?

[The Glow Inc.]

I checked some of the past dates booked by Brokers Brothers Herald and apparently they happenned.

Thus, this can't be 100% fake.

If this concert does not happen, it means that something went wrong but it was probably tentatively booked by BBH at some time...
