"Chinese Democracy" To Hit Russian Ears


After years of waiting and much persuasion, legendary American rockers Guns N?Roses have finally agreed to come and play in the Russian capital.

They will be ?knocking on heaven?s door? in Moscow during their first-ever gig at the Olympiysky Stadium on June 8.

Ticket prices to their one and only concert range between $50 and $270 and can be purchased starting from April 19.

Their long-awaited stopover in the Russian capital is part of their current ?Chinese Democracy World Tour? during which Guns N?Roses have been promoting their latest album, which has been described as a ?truly epic project?.

Organizers of their Moscow gig though, were quoted as saying that apart from the singles for ?Chinese Democracy? featuring Axl Rose ?all over the register?, GN?R are also set to perform their old favorite hits.

Vladimir Zubitsky of SAV Entertainment told RIA Novosti news agency that it will be a real rock-n-roll gig. ?Fans will hear everything they love by the band. Besides, Rose loves playing for a long time, so their performance will last about three hours.?

After reading, it looks like some workprint or something. One of the dates have a TBA attachment I think.

Also, this is for June only, might be more to come!! 

[fieldsy]

If these dates are current, they are for June only.  Could they come to Portugal in July or August?  Don't make assumptions about things that have not even been officially announced

[zombux]

Prague? hmmm... damn, how temptating

[izzyjim]

To be honest, most of all, I'm really excited about the poster!

Seems to be two dates listed for Bergen. What's that about?

[JMB-GNR]

Graspop Belgium is quite possible. Especially since the festival is already waiting for a few weeks to announce their latest headliner

[redrose]

I'm also happy.
I'll be there if it's true in Holland.

[Nytunz]

A whole bunch of newspapers are reporting as well, and here's one of em (babelfished - I don't speak one word Russian  ):


In Russia for the first time will come out ?Guns N Roses?

Legendary group will give concerts in Moscow and Saint Petersburg
Helen Laptev - 17.04.2010

For many this event will be more important even than arrival ?U2? in August of this year. In the fact that check associates will arrive, it would be possible not to doubt - the popular, successfully performing on tour throughout the world group had to sooner or later honor us its attention.

Another matter - ?Hansa?, which first is decomposed, then becomes silent to the decades, feeding only with promises. In this group of entire 17 years it left not one album! Only 2008- m group [razrodilas] by the album ?Chinese Of democacy?, which the real fans of group met on ?hurray?.

And nothing terrible, that the album was recorded without the slash, the second on [glavnosti] to figure in the group after ex-LA Rose. ?Guns N Of roses? preserved its firm Sound, and [Eksl] everything is so good. ?Guns N Of roses? will visit Moscow and Peter with [kontsertomami] within the framework of the universal tour ?Of chinese Of democracy Of world Of tour?, which successfully started in Asia and South America. Group will present its new album, which left in November 2008.

For the last two years last album had time to become ?platinum? in many countries of Europe, Asia and America, and the songs, which became Heath, were engaged the first lines of the hit-parades throughout the world.

But on the Moscow concert group will carry out not only songs from the new album, but also best, loved by all Heath, who the worshippers of group so for long dreamed to hear in the living concert performance. Today Guns N' Of roses comes out throughout the world in the following composition: Axl Of rose, Frank Of ferrer, Tommy Of stinson, Richard Of fortus, Ron ?Of bumblefoot? Of thal, Dizzy of Reed, Chris Of pitman.

Saint Petersburg will see legendary group already on June 6, in the ice palace. Concert in Moscow takes place on June 8, in [sportkomplekse] ?Olympic?. Tickets to the Moscow concert will begin to be sold since April 19 on the site of kassir.ru or on telephone 8 (495) 7307300

If the list is genuine, we still have two concerts in the UK at the end of August, so maybe the Euro leg will be split in two.


As an example:

One string of shows in June - some off-time in July - second string of shows in August.

Where is Dublin,Ireland date?? The O2 or the RDS would be great.

Come on Axl dont forget your celtic brothers.
