Guns N Roses Australian Tour - March 2013

[jarmo]

McManus Entertainment is thrilled to announce the return to Australia of one of the world's greatest rock bands, Guns N' Roses in March 2013. Joining Guns N' Roses will be special guests ZZ Top and Aussie rockers Rose Tattoo.

Promoter Andrew McManus says, "I can't wait for these shows next March. Axl Rose is a legend and I can't wait to see Guns N' Roses play to their legion of Aussie fans again. I'm so proud to be bringing them back to Australia and am looking forward to a great tour with fellow rockers ZZ Top and Rose Tattoo."

Hard rockers Guns N' Roses were last in Australia in 2010. Guns N' Roses are Axl Rose, DJ Ashba (guitar), Dizzy Reed (keyboards), Tommy Stinson (bass), Richard Fortus (guitar), Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal (guitar), Chris Pitman (keyboards) and Frank Ferrrer (drums).

Since bursting out of the LA rock scene in the mid '80s, Guns N' Roses went on to become one of the world's most legendary rock bands and one of the biggest in music history. Guns N' Roses continue to tour the globe and have played to millions of fans worldwide. In April 2012, Guns N' Roses were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and have sold more than 100 million records worldwide since forming in 1985.

Guns N' Roses' special guests on their Australian tour are the legendary Texan trio, ZZ Top. ZZ Top's image has been as unchanging and memorable as their music. ZZ Top have been together for more than 40 years and were inducted by Keith Richards into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. The band's iconography - beards, cars, girls and that magic keychain - transcend all bounds of geography and language. They've been referenced in countless cartoons and sitcoms and are true rock icons. Billy F Gibbons is one of America's finest blues guitarists while Dusty Hill on bass and Frank Beard on drums (ironically the only member without a beard) provide the ultimate rhythm section support.

Rose Tattoo join Guns N' Roses and ZZ Top on the Tour. The lineup features lead vocalist Angry Anderson, Dai Pritchard, Paul DeMarco, Geordie Leach and Randall Waller. Rose Tattoo is touted as the best bar-room-blues based rock band in the world and one of the most revered bands of all time. Inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2006, their hits include Bad Boy for Love, Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw, Nice Boys, We Can't Be Beaten and Scarred for Life.

Aussie rock fans can expect a hard-rocking performance from a hard-rocking lineup!

Excellent! Thank you sir. 

[Regibold]

Bring this tour to North America please.

I mean I'd love new music but I actually enjoy ZZ Top's new song (the "I got to get paid" one) and a few of their older tracks... and I'm not a classic rock guy.

Haven't heard the new song yet, but I CAN see Axl on stage doing 'Tush' with ZZTop.

[dolphins]

Or GNR singing Nice Boys with Angry Anderson - I actually don't know ZZ Top but one of them is in the show Bones, think I only know 2 of their songs.

They have some really great stuff. Blueysrocknroll.

Anyway, this is a awesome lineup: GNR, ZZ TOP and Rose Tattoo. I envy the australian fans! 

[metallex78]

Yeah, cool lineup, but there are other great Aussie rock bands BESIDES Rose Tattoo... seems like they get the opening slot every time GN'R tour here

You can bet your life that they warm up the crowd in the right way, or they'd not been seen again, remind me, where are shit parrot of metal........oR WHATEVER they were called?

[LIGuns]

I saw another poster and it had GN'R, ZZ Top n' Rose Tattoo.pretty cool lineup..ZZ Op are one of those bands if your not a fan you'll know enough of the songs they play..Roae Tatto, I probably like most were introduced to because of Nice Boys being on LIES...I've since purchased several of their songs from iTunes and wouldn't mind if they toured w/ GN'R in the US...

I've seen Rose Tattoo plenty of times, as I'm an Australian, and they gig around a bit. And yeah, there's no doubt that they're great.

I'm just saying that there other Australian bands that should be given a shot to open for GN'R.

Beatiful, Thanks

 

[allwaystired]

WHOAH! ?86 (english money) for a standing ticket?! Are gigs always about that price in Australia?

To put it in perspective the last time Guns played in England it was ?45 a ticket, so nearly half that.....

[Billo]

No the prices in Melb anyway arnt usually that high,i think because its a smaller venue and the last day of the car races
the prices are up, im still gonna go if i can get Tix

I'm still looking into this getting a bit too expensive flight to Melbourne. I'm aware of the car race and even thought about going there as well should I be in the city. Would the race really affect GNR ticket prices? I can't see the connection.

How much are the tix then in Melbourne, similar to Brisbane?

We've already got our tickets, in the box seats where there are only 4 rows of seats  We paid a bit extra but seeing as I might only get to one concert a year I think this is well worth the money. Rather see one band I really love than lots that I only go for a night out to see.

Who knows if I missed this opportunity I might never get the chance again, you just never know.

All we have to hope for is nice weather, no rain for the people outside & not 41C for the people both out and inside. 

[Billo]

How did you get your tix already??

[dolphins]

Don't know who is in charge of the official gnr site but they have the wrong date on there for Melbourne. It's listed as the 16th instead of the 17th - unless they are having a surprise concert on the 16th??
