I'm eagerly awaiting the announcement of the West Coast dates

Me too. I know they won't skip us, but it's still making me antsy until they announce them. I'm willing to do Vegas if they skip California for some strange reason, but everything else that's non-west coast is a bit too far.

Same here 

[GunnerRose]

going to Houston & Dallas!

[GnR-NOW]

I am going to the shows at the IZOD and Susquehanna Centers. I would like to go to at least one more show. So I am hoping that there is either an MSG show or really thinking about going to Vegas if they do a Vegas show.

Now... 22 Dates Friends !@!@

I'm betting Iowa between Indy and Denver.

Guns N' Roses U.S Tour 2011 Announced: Axl Rose Warns of Lateness

As Guns N' Roses rock South America in October 2011 they have announced a U.S. Tour to follow. Axl Rose warned fans they may be late sometimes. If you went on safari to see a leopard and it'd changed its spots to squares you'd be disappointed wouldn't you? Apparently, on the eve of Guns N' Roses first U.S. tour for five years, some rock fans want Axl Rose to change his spots and act like an academic should.

Guns N' Roses started the 2011 leg of their Chinese Democracy tour with a headline gig at the massive Rock in Rio festival, and will end it with the last concert of a long U.S.A tour in December. GnR played Latin America earlier on the current tour, along with Canada, but it is the first Guns N' Roses U.S. tour for half a decade. They did play one date in the U.S. during 2010: headlining the Sturgis Festival.


Guns N' Roses South America Tour 2011

The Chinese Democracy website announced that Guns N' Roses are playing ten dates in South America during October 2011. After Rio de Janeiro on October 2nd they are playing concerts in Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Mexico.

They finish that leg of the Chinese Democracy tour on October 23rd in Monterrey, Mexico.

The Rock in Rio gig was marred by atrocious weather conditions, and Axl Rose's voice seemed out of sorts, but they ploughed on and completed the usual long set. Video evidence from the following shows suggest Axl is now warming up, and showing signs of his old greatness, as seen on a video from Chile posted on YouTube:

Guns N' Roses U.S.A Tour 2011

The Guns N' Roses American tour 2011 seems set to kick off at the Amway Center, Florida on October 28th, and the last date is at the moment pencilled in for the Covelli Centre, Youngstown, Ohio on December 7th. More dates may be added. There are currently twenty-two dates confirmed on Ticketmaster


Axl Rose Warns of Possible Onstage Lateness

Axl Rose stirred up some controversy during the tour by warning fans that the he and the band might be late on stage sometimes. They have had a reputation for lateness since the original Guns N' Roses started in the mid-1980s.

On Guns N' Roses facebook (October 9th, 2011) Axl Rose posted a message saying fans should expect a rock n' roll band to be unpredictable: 'Love it Hate it Accept it Debate it - You want 8 o'clock shows go find F-R-I-E-N-D-S or hit a cinema somewhere.. or you wanna be informed go catch the 10 o'clock news.. this is Rock N' Roll!...This is Guns N'Roses and when the time is right the stage will ignite...'

This provoked a strong debate on rock forums such as Planet Rock (October 10th), with supporters applauding Rose for telling it like it is, and warning fans who might not have time to attend late shows not to buy tickets; while critics accused him of arrogance and not caring about the fans.

There is likely to be more controversy as the tour heads north over the next couple of months, along with a helluva lot of great music.

Axl could not have stated it any better. If you don't like it don't go. I don't care what time they take the stage. Whats the big deal. That was nice of him to even post that.   

Can't wait to we see more dates added to the tour. Hope it goes on for along time.

Guns N' Roses plans first Indiana show in 19 years

Volatile rock star Axl Rose has scheduled his first performance in his home state of Indiana since 1992.

Guns N' Roses will perform Dec. 8 at Conseco Fieldhouse. Tickets, $30 to $75, go on sale at 10 a.m. on Oct. 22.

Lafayette native Rose moved to Los Angeles in the 1980s and formed Guns N' Roses, a hard-rock phenomenon that's sold more than 100 million albums worldwide.

Rose, however, is the lone remaining member from the band's best-known lineup.

Guns N' Roses presently consists of Rose, guitarists DJ Ashba, Richard Fortus and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, keyboard players Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman, bass player Tommy Stinson and drummer Frank Ferrer.

The band's "Use Your Illusion" tour included two stops in 1991 at Verizon Wireless Center (known then as Deer Creek Music Center) and one stop in 1992 at the RCA Dome (known then as the Hoosier Dome).

For more information about the Dec. 8 show at Conseco Fieldhouse, visit www.livenation.com or call (800) 745-3000.

     I've noticed some distinct changes in the GNR setlist from the end of the 2010 Europe tour to this current 2011 South American tour.  Most notably, the addition of "Estranged," which has been just incredible to hear. Personally, I think the recent performances of "Estranged" have been proof positive that this current lineup is debatably the best group Axl has worked with since UYI. It's also comforting as a fan to know that as detached as Axl can be at times, that this current lineup, specifically Ron n' DJ n' Tommy have gone out of their way to interact with fans.  I firmly believe that "Estranged" was added to the setlist as a direct result of fans' requests.
     Having said all that, I am particularly vexed by the exclusion of certain "Chinese Democracy" songs.  It's cool to hear the staples such as "Sorry," "Better," "Street of Dreams," "Madagascar," and thank the lord that the "Chinese Democracy World Tour" is finally being opened by a performance of "Chinese Democracy." "WTTJ" opening screamed of nostalgia tour. "Chinese Democracy" sends a message.  But seriously, what happened to "If The World" N' "Shakler's Revenge?" Both songs were solid staples in the 2010 set and were incredible! "If The World" being a staple in the 2010 South American tour, then subsequently abandoned for unknown reasons.  "Shackler's Revenge" was played consistently during the European Leg of the Tour and IMHO was sounding better than the album version.  Not to mention "I.R.S" N'  "Scraped," which, when peppered into the setlist added a level of excitement that cannot be achieved by additional "Appetite For Destruction" songs in 2011.
     The important thing to keep in mind is that at this point in the U.S., the people who are taking the time to go to a GNR show most likely own/listen to/love "Chinese Democracy." If they didn't they would save their money and see their local cover band perform "Sweet Child" N' "Paradise City." AC/DC covers are coll and all but two at the expense of a chance to hear "Oh My God" live is excessive. Axl, dont ever be afraid to "suck on TWAT." It's not a bad thing. Just play it and while you're at it...throw a some "Catcher N' Prostitutes" our way.

Here's looking forward to a triumphant US tour! 

[big_machine]

AMEN

hell yes

no acdc covers uncle !!! cmon

[big_machine]

i prefer more CHINESSE DEMO,,,,, !!!!

[GnR-NOW]

I remember they played up to 10 CD songs during the Canada tour last year....

[LongGoneDay]

Looks like they are playing on average about 5-6 Chinese Democracy songs a night?
That seems like a pretty decent amount to me.

I think bands that have been around a while, realize what the majority of their fan base wants to hear, and it's typically not their latest release. GN'R is no exception. I wouldn't be surprised to see them play less once the tour hits the states.

Stone Temple Pilots for example are coming off a relatively successful album, and they only played 2 songs off of it when I saw them.

I'm not an AC/DC fan, but I like GN'Rs cover of Whole Lotta Rosie.

[Montrealrocks]

Well, the advertisment for the US tour is: Over 2 hours of classic hits.


I don't think Riff Raff and Whole Lotta Rosie are Guns N' Roses hits.  And I don'T think the people attending wants to hear that anyhow!

I would MUCH rather stick with GnR hits!
