Gordon Comstock Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 @gunsguy: Sorry man. When the site was first launched and people were just getting the invites, one of the big questions was "who is 'The General'", and it appeared to be that Nick guy, who I thought was not part of the GNR camp?I bet on a South American Tour or a co-headlining North American tour with Alice In Chains.Or both.AiC is headlining Uproar Festival this summer, and I would think Guns will be announcing US summer dates (to go along with the 4-5 shows already announced). So, don't count on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 They wouldn't need to announce an end of the year South American tour in April, would they? They could probably announce it a day in advance and still pull major sales.An expansion of the current US dates, or at best an upward trek to Canada seems more plausible. Then again, they went from Australia to Lebanon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcano62 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Both Texan, House of Blues performances have been officially put out there already. I have a hunch this announcement will be about an expansion of a few US dates, to a full blown tour.Sounds reasonable IMOI would like to see em in Montreal again, that crowd was fucking insaneThanks GG us Montrealers are the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsend Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Axl was in the UK recently... maybe a UK residency??PLEASE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 GNR still haven't played South Africa, not to mention they haven't played Guam or Costa Rica yet after plans were derailed. So they still have other fans to bring this tour to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Why won't Axl and Beta allow the new band their chance to put their creative input on the GnR legacy?The fans want new music. The band wants to create their own music. But for some reason, all Beta and Axl want to do is live off the band's past work. Volcano, people aren't mad specifically because Axl is touring the world. They are dissapointed that their favorite singer has put out ONE album in the last 20 years. And instead of taking a few months to create another album, he instead is deciding to just keep touring and playing the old songs. Most bands at least occassionally release new music for their FANS TO ENJOY. Axl and Beta have decided to not go that route - and fans are dissapointed, because they would love to hear new music.

Hence the UCAP and Vegas residency. They have gotten amazing reviews so I'm guess the fans are have enjoyed the concerts from 2012. It's really the hardcore fans that have gotten impatient. Hopefully with all the great reviews it is finally time to release the next chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nambis Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 They already have 7 dates for US this summer at http://gunsnroses.com/eventsIt's probably an official announcement about these dates, or some additions to these dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 So GG, who is The General?Wasn't it confirmed that The General in question was actually some dude posting as a 13-year-old girl........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Ok, I think we've guessed everything that is possible for them to announce.Edit: The General is the Paradise City admin. Since PC is an official social network, I think it's safe to assume that The General has some kind of affiliation with GNR.

bacardimayne Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 My money's on the official announcement of a boxset that includes a brand spankin' new album, the CD outtakes, live DVDs of a bunch of never before seen concerts, and a confirmation that Axl has fixed his voice and reconciled with Slash.
