Anguyen92 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Well, here's the news link I found via their facebook page.KINGS OF CHAOS — the touring project featuring former and current members of AEROSMITH, GUNS N' ROSES, ZZ TOP, CHEAP TRICK and EXTREME — will embark on another South African tour this December.Joining returning KINGS OF CHAOS members Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke and Duff McKagan (all of whom were formerly in GUNS N' ROSES) will be new additions Steven Tyler of AEROSMITH, Billy Gibbons of ZZ TOP, Robin Zander of CHEAP TRICK and Nuno Bettencourt of EXTREME.KINGS OF CHAOS plays some of the individual bandmembers' greatest hits in a two-hour display of frenzied guitar riffs, pounding drums, resonating bass and trademark raspy vocals.They will perform at Sun City Superbowl on Saturday, November 29 and at Grand West's Grand Arena in Cape Town on Wednesday, December 3.Tickets go on sale at Computicket from Friday, August 22.Regarding why he decided to put together a supergroup after playing in GUNS N' ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER and THE CULT, Sorum told The AU Review in a 2013 interview: "I'm at that stage of my career where I haven't really got the energy to go and try and create a band. I mean, how many bands do I have in my back pocket? I'd rather just get a bunch of great guys together that everybody knows and go and play a bunch of shows to 60,000 people, like, 'Whoa.' Even VELVET REVOLVER, it took us 18 months to build that up, and we were on the road like 20-year-old kids. So my thing was, number one I don't really want to go on the road for 18 months anymore, which will basically kill you, unless you're doing hard drugs and I don't do hard drugs anymore, and I don't drink anymore, and the rest of it's just kind of boring. So I'd rather go and do great festivals and do two- or three-week tours, go out and just have a blast and then go home and then think about the next thing."This idea that I came up with, this is like a release for all the other guys, because it's fresh for them. Even though we'll be playing all our hits, it's all with all our friends and the buddies that we've met through years and years of rock 'n' roll."Matt also admitted to the difficulties supergroups and conflicting schedules can make, explaining: "Well, you know, everyone's always so busy, so it can be hard with everyone all over the place. But you know, it's really great, I'm really blessed. I look at it like I'm a kid that grew up listening to and wanting to play rock 'n' roll, and now I’m in this community of all these great musicians. So I said, well, fuck it, why don't I take advantage of that and put a band together and go play?"http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/aerosmith-zz-top-cheap-trick-ex-guns-n-roses-members-to-tour-south-africa-as-kings-of-chaos/#9r2yXjIzbkG8I4la.9 Edited August 21, 2014 by Anguyen92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anguyen92 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Should we create a new thread to talk about this though? It has Duff, Matt, and Gilby in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 This is a big change, I think anyone waiting on VR to happen might as well wait for a GNR reunion to happen.Slash was never part of starting KOC up and the Conspirators are busy. I guess the rest of them have projects they're working on, Glenn's got his band with Jason Bonham, I'm assuming Billy Idol's working on a new album if Steve Stevens isn't a part of it this time. Cheap Trick, Aerosmith and ZZ Top, you might get one GNR song in there, and not even an original of theirs - Mama Kin. It's too far away for Axl to just show up, but I think if people were ever going to see Axl and Slash on the same stage, it would happen at a show like this. For all they know, Izzy could just show up out of the blue, just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew07 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 KOC just tweetet that they are possibly the greatest band of all time well they would be a great band if they toured the states more, its like they avoid playing here at all costs for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 GNR's never played South Africa, Team Brazil should just piggypack on their shows and play the night after being that this is more about Aerosmith, Cheap Trick and Aerosmith songs and a handful of covers.

maynard Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 When a group of musicians acknowledges that they are a tribute nostalgic band that goes on the road for fun, I can respect that. Shows will be fun for classic rock fans. I'd never watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lio Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Seems it sold out already. It's only two concerts, and I don't know the size of the venues, so... But that was very fast anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
