How exciting... congrats to canadian fans!!! Finally we got a whole bunch of dates n' we'll see Gn'R hitting the road again! 

EDIT: N' for all of those who blamed, as Diego Maradona said: "keep sucking!" 

[D]

 hell yeah! 2010 will be the year!!

US tour after the Canadian dates for the Spring possibly?

I just hope they come to either:
Atlanta,Cincinnati,Nashville.... I could possibly stretch it even to Indianapolis. Hell, if there were to be a HTGTH meet up somewhere, I'd even consider flying to wherever.

Man.

Now it's time to anounce 15 dates in Brazil! Hahahaha!!! 

I'll tell you the truth Christian, if Canada gets 13 shows we get 15, right?

Well, I don't mind if it's only 5 concerts in Brazil, as long as one is in Belo Horizonte  

On topic, I'm so excited that if I had money I'd fly my ass out to Canada. Can't wait!

Sweet, we appreciate your American business

But seriously, and this goes to any American thinking of driving up to a show in Ontario, give preference to either the Hamilton or London shows over Toronto.  I'm from Toronto, so this isn't a hater thing, it's just that Toronto crowds generally are fairly lame.  It'll be mostly preppy kids and business suits showing up at this show.  London and Hamilton have a more edgy fan base, the '02 concert in London was amazing, blowing away both '02 and '06 shows at the ACC.  Also, the acoustics at the ACC are awful. 

Now Toronto is a nicer city (no offense Hamilton, but come on) so if you're looking to make it up as a bit of vacation then by all means.  But if you're coming strictly for GNR (which I'm guessing, since who comes to Canada in the dead of winter for sightseeing), I'd try for Hamilton or London since I'd put money down you'll get a better show.  London would probably be my top pick if I had to choose one.

Cheers,

Andrew

Andrew, the Ottawa show last time was way better than the Toronto one too in terms of band and crowd energy.

Andrew, the Ottawa show last time was way better than the Toronto one too in terms of band and crowd energy.

I remember Axl being sick during this time so that may have had hand in it.  Though to be honest, Toronto and Ottawa were probably the least "exciting" of the five shows I saw that year.  I don't know what it is about the French, whether in Paris or Quebec City, but those motherfuckers know how to rock out.  Top prize went to the Hammerstein show 'cause it was a small venue, the Izzy Stradlin cameo, the crowd was electric and I got laid that night

But yeah, Ottawa was much better than Toronto.  Both were amazing shows and I had a great time (Toronto was fun 'cause I brought 14 people with me) and met up with some forum members at the bar beforehand (though I missed Jarmo who I was looking forward to meeting).  Hey, if GNR is playing, it's always a good night

Cheers,

Andrew

Great great great news!!!!

Don't want to pull an HBK, but if you go here:

http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/G/Guns_N_Roses/2009/10/19/11450331-wenn-story.html

You should see a new banner with the Ottawa and Toronto shows being advertised. 

Of course if you click on it you don't immediately go to the point of sale, but I'm sure it's on it's way.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hopefully now that the album is out they'll mix up the set list a little bit.

[Jim Bob]

OK, I have a dilemma...with cash being an issue and everything. Do i scrape up enough cash, get a passport, ect and be guaranteed to go to at least one show....Or, do I hope and pray for a date in Vegas, or other surrounding cities (LA, San Diego, Phoenix) and possible go to multiple shows?? i don't know what to do!!!! haha.

well, calgary is probably the closest to Vegas.   I have the same dilemma but I don't think I'll have to hold off till they come to Vegas or a closer city.

Very excited for GnR fans in Canada and Asia right now.

THIS.

Guys seriously Toronto crowds are lame. Ottawa and London kicked the crap outta them when I saw gigs in those towns. If you're coming up and staying a while - try Ottawa. If you're just driving up for the show - Hamilton is closer than Toronto anyway so you might as well go there. Saves you 45 mins on the highway (twice that if traffic sucks/weather blows, and in winter, it will). Or, London, which kicked ass in 02.

With the Halifax show being a couple of days before Axl's birthday we should all whip into a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday!!!!
