Fortus isn't really unused. He just keeps to himself (not a social media whore).

I don't see why they couldn't "wing it" without BBF if he had to drop out mid-tour

Or they could have him pre-record his parts and pass them to Mother Goose

I like your "show must go on" attitude, Coma.

The show must go on. This "chapter" has dragged on for more than 10 years. Finish touring the states, release previously recorded CD sessions (maybe even with some Ashba) and then rest! (for no more than 6 months or so...)

Perhaps he "got hold" of what the other members were making (via you-know-who) and wants a bigger piece of the pie? Pure speculation....

Likely meant Axl and DJ

FUCK ESTRANGED

Perhaps management Fernando doesn't give a &%#%

This is a big payday that he (likely?) wouldn't want to pass on...

Edit: and i'm sure management is well aware of his accident and have had their doctors evaluate. BBF was complaining about the pain before the rehearsals no?

As long as he doesn't go crazy on the stage he should be just fine. Or they could have him pre-record his parts and pass them to Mother Goose

BBF has a weird sense of humour. Hopefully he's alright! Fact is, if they delayed the tour then everyone would blame it on Axl for not wanting (or too afraid) to tour the US etc etc etc... Fucked either way.

Bumblefoot

Car accident - busted stuff in my neck, constant pressure on spine, constant pain... should NOT be touring, but I am. Until I can't. And then I won't. Suck it. OK, back to packing........

Dare I say Shut up and play ??? SORRY... I hope they have a therapist on hand for Ron!

I stopped reading after "It's kind of obvious that GNR will play There Was A Time"...

I thought the Azoff matter was resolved?? Poor journalism...

What hell is this site?

Hamilton - Copps Coliseum December 1, 2011

Montreal - Bell Center March 1, 2012

Toronto - Air Canada Center April 1, 2012

I call BS. There is no way they will hit Hamilton and not Toronto (within a few days I mean)...

Predictions are fun n' all but if the setlist leaks / released by organizers just before the show can you Mods put some sort of blackout/spoiler rule in effect?

Why would he voluntarily pay that much when there was likely insurance? I'd go to court as well...

I have an idea. Let's just ask Axl! I mean, he'll let the fans know...Right?

He vowed a code of silence after letting us know that the video for Better will be released soon...

Either way I'm just going to avoid Facebook that day all together...

I think they are doing it for all bands (at least so far). Takes away the fun but at least you can go to sleep once you see the same list as last year jk...

They just posted the setlist for Metalllica and they should be on soon. I sorta hope they don't do the same for GNR. I'd rather enjoy it without knowing what's in store.

Could be they wanted to cut losses as best they could and get rid of dust-collecting inventory. I just wish that BB here in Canada had the same deal...

I have no opinion whether or not this is real or fake. I would like to see them cut-out Live and Let Die and Knockin' on Heaven's Door (unless they play KOHD the way they played it during the run of the classic line-up). While I like both songs, they are covers and they occupy a lot of time that would make valuable room for.... ESTRANGED or something new.

Agree for KOHD but LALD is a short song and the pyros are amazing live (boring on Youtube clips though)

Don't get me wrong I really hope this is in fact real. I guess we'll just have to wait until next Sunday!!! And no, I've never heard of Forgotten (cover?)

Didn't someone say that BB was moving away from CDs (compact disks, not Chinese Democracy) all together?
