Street Of The Blues Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) My uncle got the chance to see Guns N' Roses in November 2006 with the Trailer Park Boys. If the canadian tour rumors are true and they come to the maritimes i'm definitely going. I promised myself i would go to a Guns N' Roses concert if they ever come back to Halifax.

downzy Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) Figured I'd make one thread with all things GNR/Canada related. There are a lot of regional threads but figured we could use one thread to discuss the tour as a whole.Here are the announced dates:Canadian Chinese Democracy World Tour January13 - Winnipeg, MB - MTS Centre16 - Calgary, AB - Pengrowth Saddledome17 - Edmonton, AB - Rexall Place19 - Saskatoon, SK - Credit Union Centre20 - Regina, SK - Brandt Centre24 - Hamilton, ON - Copps Coliseum25 - London, ON - John Labatt Centre27 - Montreal, PQ - Bell Centre28 - Toronto, ON - Air Canada Centre31 - Ottawa, ON - Scotiabank PlaceFebruary1 - Quebec City, PQ - Colisee Pepsi3 - Moncton, NB - Moncton Coliseum4 - Halifax, NS - Metro Centre SOURCE: http://www.bravewords.com/news/124382TICKETMASTER: http://www.ticketmaster.ca/Guns-N-Roses-tickets/artist/735218As a fellow Canadian, I couldn't be happier. 2010 is going to kick ass!Now I just need to find the money to go!Cheers,Andrew Edited October 19, 2009 by downzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 It's interesting how Montreal got a show but British Columbia got left out in the cold. Mind you, perhaps that has more to do with the Olympics than anything else.Cheers,Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plonker88 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) The fact that these are coming up on Tickermaster pretty much confirms this but I can't wait to see it on here http://web.gunsnroses.com/index.jspOn a side note, has the online shop picture always had a picture of Chinese Democracy faded into it or is that new?Oh and also, this gives you some idea of my reaction when I saw this tour was happening Edited October 19, 2009 by plonker88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoBrA2168 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Today is a good day, a good day indeed.Debating whether I should start thinking about driving up to Canada or waiting for a US tour announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ88 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Axl must like the Canadian winters. GN'R always seem to come here in the winter time tickets are pretty cheap too if TM prices are correct. For the Calgary show: CA $49.50 - CA $89.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 How big are those venues? they are all arenas anywhere from 10,000 to 17,000Most are in the 16-18k capacity. I know that the ACC in Toronto and Bell Centre in Montreal holds close to 20k for hockey games, I imagine it's not far off from that. There are smaller venues like Pepsi Colosseum in Quebec City (15k) and the John Labatt Centre (10k) where I saw my favourite shows. To be honest, the smaller the venue has been the better show. Toronto wasn't that great mostly due to Toronto be a lame place to see anything and Axl likes Toronto so much he takes his time getting to the stage, which doesn't go over well with the business crowd who have to be up at 7:00 to work.

Welcome to the Jungle Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Does anyone know when they will announce the on sale dates for the shows in either Hamilton or Toronto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Anyone else going to these shows going to try and avoid setlists of the Asian shows in hopes of seeing the show fresh?I think this time around I want to intake the experience without knowing what song follows what. Now they may use the same setlist as the last two tours, but I'm hoping they change it up a bit. I want some suspense this time around. Anyone else?Cheers,Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom1447 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 How big are those venues?Most are around the 15,000 to 20,000 mark.Capacities for a few of them:Mts centre-15,000Bell centre-21,000Air Canada centre- 19,800Scotiabank Place-18,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl_on_drums Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I see the 15k arenas selling out, but the 21k bell centre is a long shot.Hope I'm wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
