Guns N' Roses tour to take on Canada in early 2010

After years of tour speculation and the long-awaited release of "Chinese Democracy," an album 10 years in the making, Guns N' Roses has outlined plans for a North American tour.

For now, the routing will just take Axl Rose and his compatriots across the Canadian provinces. Thirteen dates are on the books from a January 13 opening show at MTS Centre in Winnipeg, MB, through a final February 4 gig at Metro Centre in Halifax, NS.

Among the other stops scheduled on the three-week trek are gigs on January 17 at Rexall Place in Edmonton, AB; January 24 at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, ON; and February 1 at Colisee Pepsi in Quebec, QC.

The first presales for the tour begin October 22, and public onsales will follow on October 23. Rehearsals for the tour will begin soon in Los Angeles, according to a statement from Live Nation.

O'oh who let HBK loose 

[Spirit]

HBK, I think this link should do it: http://news.google.com/news/more?pz=1&cf=all&cf=all&ncl=d5TPKn-76XvWfIMsOfjjd6v4ats7M

Then everyone who wants to read all the articles may do so. 

[sexkitten]

It's so f'ing back on it's ridiculous!!!!    Def. going to Montreal and toronto shows...was toying with going to either the london show before or ottawa show after. 

Any Canadian gunners have a recommendation to which would be better?

[chad_er33]

This sucks!!!!!! I am in Mexico from Jan 12 - 26. I want to see the Edmonton show.

[D]

Montreal should be VERY interesting.......I had forgotten about what happened last time.

Hopefully some good boots come out of this.

[GNR4LIFEJD]

This touring schedule is certainly interesting in that it starts in the far east then comes across the world to canada. My guess is that a U.S. tour probably would be spring time or summer as the canadian leg goes into feb. Im sure a U.S. tour will be announced before the end of the year if you figure the canadian tour is going on sale now in oct. for jan. Just a little PATIENCE GNR is gonna make it to all the countries no need to start planning trips around the world.

Yeah, I think it depends on how tight their schedule are gonna be. If they'll continue on the road immediately after Canada, I would say the US (or Mexico and South America) is the best bet within the feb/mar/apr period.

Europe would be a good bet for the summer, festival-wise.

Then either the US or SA in the fall. I guess Australia/New Zealand fits in somewhere too.

[Spirit]

I read at Billboard that U2 were teaming up with YouTube for a live streaming of one of their concerts.


Just thought it would have been awesome if GN'R could do something similar. They did the pay-per-view in '92, so I'm guessing Axl wouldn't hate the idea.
