Lots of issues to be worked out there with promoters I would think.
Recent track record of completing US tours hasn't been good
. Also, I don't think US venues are real big on the late start times.
Um, were you in a coma for the 2006 American tour?
See original quote
So you would have preferred they played those handful of dates in January 2007 instead of return to the studio to finish the album?

I guess the incident in Vancouver still looms, can't see what else would stop them from playing there? That sucks.
Must be, but you'd think Montreal would be the same thing cause that was alot worse... But that happened so long ago compared to Vancouver
someone pointed out that the olympics maybe can have something to do with it
The Olympics don't even start till February though, plus Pearl Jam and other acts have played Vancouver quite recently too.

Ummm.... I get your point, but the album didn't come out for a full 19 months after that. In hindsight, they prolly could've pulled it off.

Well, unless you'd like to share your crystal ball with the rest of the board, we honestly don't know, do we?

Well I'm looking forward to them breaking in the new Giants Stadium. I think they'll probably play there next summer. I hope.

I say very highly likely, which is why I am rethinking my trip to London/Hamilton.
I had a ticket to that Bon Jovi show today, friend called an hour before show telling me if I got there he had a ticket for me. Too bad I was in class....

They should be there in January
but nooooo
they want to go freeze their butts off in Canada.
We'll see who's bitching in January. Irv will probably get fired if Axl spends another two hours trying to get through the snow to the show.
Could have been playing in the nice, warm sun down south.
It gives them the opportunity to add some winter to their wardrobe lol...besides Ron already has the perfect hat, you know the fuzzy one he sometimes wears
. I'm sure they will eventually make it your way to warm up in the nicer weather.
I saw over at mygnr where Ron's already thinking about that-lol. The west coast members are probably thinking snow's cool and the east coast guys are calling home to get their winter clothes.

GNR did GREAT on the west coast to end the tour in 2006/7, they just didnt sell out Fresno and Sacramento, but those shows were added/rescheduled mid tour and they already had 6 shows on the tour (2 in SF, One in Oakland, which was the Lars on Drums, and three sold out at Universal). If I remember correctly they sold out every one but the Oakland Show, but that was 80%( I was there). I was at both SF, and the Oakland shows, and they were great.
He will most likely finish in California, like he did last year, but not schedule shows out in Central California.
I have no doubt in my mind there will be at least 3 Califonia shows, and I will be at all of them.
He will tour the US, but will most likely hand pick them. Way to much to lose by skipping U.S.
Reemeber, his last tour did quite well, save the cental cali shows with no promo or CD, if he has them this time, and that is a biog "if", he will do better in the US.

I don't see why there wouldn't be U.S. shows, but you never know. I'm hopeful.
Las Vegas has never been a bad place for GnR shows.

I have to say it is odd that GnR would skate around Canada, without dropping in on some of the neighboring US cities, at the very least. I am holding out hope for a Buffalo or Albany NY date.

Why would that be odd?
It's something very special for all the Canadian GN'R fans. They get their own leg of the tour.
Besides, if you do some US shows in border cities, then you basically got a North American tour without hitting major cities like New York.
Which in my opinion would make no sense.

Odd as in 'unexpected'...due to the close proximity most bands set their dates together (following major travel routes)...How many (edit: Major) Bands play Stockholm but skip Oslo? And thats what 200km? (guessing, too lazy to look up!)...but looking at the map they are not scheduled by relative proximity anyway (the Canada dates). Do you think they really need to assign 'Canadian leg' or 'North American tour'? Maybe for tax purposes or something? (as I write that, I am thinking perhaps there could be something to it) I am psyched that Canada gets its own leg, but I do selfishly hope they hit Buffalo or Albany just so I can avoid the passport hassle. Of course I can just wait and see if they schedule later dates anyway! I should have been more clear, that I am NOT holding out hope for Buffalo/Albany on THIS announced leg...but on the likelihood of 'future US dates'.
added: We have been blessed in the past with Boston/Worcester/Albany/NYC dates (screw Fire Marshal Bill in Portland,ME)...all within a reasonable drive..or better still, all on AMTRAK.

Wow it looks like we have enough people to petition a Buffalo show... Even if its @ a smaller place like showplace, or shea's and not the arena
Hell I think Buffalo deserves a show considering they've only been here once(92)...
Hell they canceled 1 in the 80's due to illness and rescheduled it in like Philly or some bullshit
And in 02 Buffalo was on the original schedule but ended up getting booted from there too..

You guys had years and years notice from George Bush to get a passport to come to Canada. If you're shut out now, that's not the fault of Gn'R or their Canadian fans.

Know any promoters/travel people who could arrange 'VIP' bus package to Toronto show? I am surprised nobody has put one out yet. Being near Albany, we see these all the time for Yankees/Mets games, and when we get overlooked by major acts in favor of the slightly larger (
) market of NYC.

Or play Copenhagen and skip Stockholm, Helsinki and Oslo.
Not unheard of....

People should probably be happy that they're touring at all. Hopefully a good sign of things to come. It was looking pretty bleak there about 5 months ago.
