Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I say it's for either

a)  More unconfirmed midwest tour stops.  98.9 the rock of K.C. incessantly says Gn'R will be here around Christmas.

or

b)  Promotional appearances by the band

Or... A christmas break for the guys...? They have been touring pretty much constantly since June with only a few weeks gap between the European and US tour.

Holiday break.. they'll have been on the road since may, for the most part... a few weeks for friends/family wont hurt the fans, too much.  2nd leg after the CA dates in Jan... bring the boys back east!

Unless you count THIS one month break.

maybe... Chinese Democracy comes out? So they can go television programs and stuff.

Break perhaps. Remember Axl on the last night of the euro tour (though he had partied/played that acoustic gig the night before). It might just be to ensure it doesn't happen again. Or maybe we will see more dates. I wouldn't read too much into it at this point though.

no dates yet in arizona and texas which are all big markets.  I would expect some shows in the southwest and rocky mountain states.   hopefuly another vegas show  8)

Probably some time off for Christmas and planning a special New Year's gig.

I think thats the best bet. I don't think they will do any midwest dates duringthe gap. I think they will be part of the 2 leg of the tour.

Maybe play in Times Square?  Super good promotion.  Half a million people in the street, and millions watching worldwide.... :drool:

This break might be preparations for the album, promotional stuff, photo shoots, etc.

i would bet it's so the guys can have some family time during the holidays. remember, these guys have wives and kids too.

I think it would be for a Christmas break. they deserev it. they've been going pretty good this year. I think its a good thing, though I would not be surprised a all if they add a New year's gig. : ok:

A new yrs gig again would be pretty cool. BUt I agree, most of the band have families, and such, and they have been rocking hard, consistenly thus far, may be a good time for all of them to celebrate, and share the success of CD, and more than that, each other and thier respective families.

On the '91 tour they took a break between Dec 18-27 for Christmas. It does seem like an extra long break though this time and I can't figure out why they wouldn't play New Years Eve.

Time off for the holidays....the bleeding obvious.

Hopefully CD will be released and they can announce their next album

vacation and.....new year's eve show? maybe in vegas, or AC?

x-mas break i guess and hopefully axl will be in vegas around new years eve so i can run into him ha!

Maybe they'll play the Kroq Accoustic Christmas?

(If the lineup hasn't been anounced already...)

i guess they take a break for christmas & then they'll play an New Year's gig in philly. at least those guys would really deserve this! ;)

Yeah agreed. Or at last give them an announcement when they'll be making it up to them  :)

The site says...

Fronted by legendary singer W. Axl Rose and featuring a revamped, all-star lineup of rock veterans (guitarists Robin Finck, Richard Fortus and Ron Thal, keyboard players Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman, bassist Tommy Stinson and drummer Bryan "Brain" Mantia), GN'R will hit the road from late October until Dec. 23.


Or in Dubai?

It is longer, but how many of the band back then had families to think of?

discuss the tour gap between Dec. 19th and Jan. 10th
