Guns N' Roses South American Tour 2014 - announcement on Monday Dec 23rd

[slash&axl]

People need to lay off Jarmo, you're acting as if he doesn't want to tell us

[estebanf]

I can't understand how can some people be mad at this situation... come on: there has been an announcement! Let's enjoy it, and the things that are in the future! What does it change to have the real/confirmed dates today or in 24 / 48 hours? Geez

Some people urgently need a life...

Agree,
like every person in here is going to every concert and needs to make reservations...Big deal.

I live in Rio and I would love if the tour were already confirmed so I could start planning flights and hotels (I'm sure  they will play in Rio, but I want to go to as many gigs as I can afford). But there is nothing set on stone as of now, so what can I do about it? Bitching over the internet is not going to make plans come out any faster, so just roll with it...

[JAEBALL]

I compare GNR to politics ...

There are the liberals and the conservatives...

The liberals say who cares we will know when we know...

And the conservatives are just they can't  understand why everything is so difficult for these people..

I fall in the middle somewhere

You can't understand why people are mad at this?  The band/management can't handle a simple press release...they can't even adhere to their own deadlines.  This speaks to a larger issue of lack of communication and poor planning.  It's always one step forward, two steps back.  We here of a new tour plus new songs (which are good things) and then this failure of the announcement.  And then to hear people (mainly in this forum) act like it's no big deal/happens all the time/nothing to see here just adds to the frustration.  IMO, it's foreshadowing what to expect from Guns this year (which is not much).  I hope I'm wrong.

Stop assuming shit.

You don't know why it happened. Or didn't happen in this case.


I think the idea was to get everything in place to be announced before Christmas, and that was what was supposed to happen. Unfortunately it didn't.
To say shit like "they can't handle a simple press release" is... Silly.

Of course I don't know why it happened or didn't happen (and never will)...the fact is that "something" happened, and it seems that "something" always happens, and then that "something" is always dismissed as no big deal, get a life, be happy with what you got.  That you can't appreciate the frustration there is...well...silly.

[jarmo]

The frustration of having to wait a few days more for all things to be in place before the announcement?

/jarmo

Few days, or few weeks, or few months, or few years, or few millenniums with GNR you never know. Maybe they should doing biz meeting longer than 3 hours...?

[jarmo]

Ha-ha-ha. So original and funny.

With all of Team Brazil's proven managerial experience, this is surprising.

[D-GenerationX]

Complaints, complaints, complaints.

All is well.  Nothing to see here. 

No...seriously, nothing to see here.

[Ginger King]

Complaints, complaints, complaints.

No...seriously, nothing to see here.

The fact that most people here actually believe that, and shame others for expressing some (read: any) frustration is mind-boggling.

Nice to read these words from you

So any clarification on the "5 years" quote, or will that be cleared up in a few days too?

I know.  Its crazy time.  I feel like I'm being Punk'd reading some of these responses.

[jarmo]

My guesses are: Typo or misunderstanding.

Pick one, whatever makes you happier. 



If you're upset that the planned announcement was delayed over the holidays, sorry. Things don't always go your way... What's next to be upset about? The date when the actual announcement is made or the words in it?

Calm down Johnny Defensive Pants...clearly we've struck a nerve.

Neither option makes me happier than the other...both are actually saddening.

What's sad is that this was a self-imposed deadline...the fans, forums, etc. weren't imposing any announcement ultimatum.  This was something that Management came up with, so you'd think they'd be able to follow through with their own plans.  And, when that didn't happen, instead of "hey sorry for blowing our load early but we jumped the gun (pun intended) a bit.  Our bad."  we get messages from you attacking fans that ask legitimate questions.

What's next to be upset about, you ask?  I guess I'll go with the next time Management fucks up an annoucement.  You cast everyone that shows any disagreement with you or Management as always negative/pissed off fans that will never be happy.  You're so wrong.

[jarmo]

You struck a nerve? You're obviously way too self confident.
You're not the first, or last, person on a GN'R fan site complaining about something you have no control over, or something that might not even affect you personally....


Aww, the old eat the cake and have it too.

Fans don't have "demands"? Fans don't "demand" information from the band and/or management at every chance they got? Really?
Are you saying you know better than any of us, that there's no questions, or anything like that, regarding this upcoming tour from fans on the continent in question?


Because from my limited experience, fans in South America have been asking for information about new shows ever since the band left South America in October 2011! 
I don't think they stopped when the show in Mexico was announced... But that's just me.



By the way, did you see those tweets from Axl today where he thanked the fans for our support and wished us happy holidays?

In case you missed them, here they are:
axlrose: Big Thanx 2 all r fans, r crew, the band, r friends, families n' all r supporters this last yr n' over the yrs! Happy Holidays! Merry Xmas!
axlrose: Hope every1 had a good yr! Wish every1 a Happy New Year n' a better next yr! Peace!! Axl
