John Bonham Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 According to the Los Angeles Times, the controversial $889 million merger, in the works for nearly a year, came with a number of major concessions to address concerns that the combined companies would possibly have an unfair near-monopoly on ticket sales, with an ability to book concerts, sell tickets and merchandise, and manage such major acts as the Eagles, Christina Aguilera, Guns N' Roses and Aerosmith.MTV NEWSYou never can tell with Guns N' Roses. But hopefully this signals a start to some kind of US tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTZ Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I guess this means they're still with Irv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Irving manage all this artists.Irving owns Ticketmaster.I guess that's what this is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Last Summer, some people mentioned that GN'R might have been waiting for this to go through, before they toured the States.I can't see this move hurting Guns' ability to launch a massive US tour.

Blaine_sixx Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 didnt Irving do some deal with ticket brokers and give them all the tickets first so people would over-pay for the best tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdlove Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 A states tour is given, album....not so much. I actually don't expect an album until 2012, that way I can be pleasantly surprised by a sooner followup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTZ Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I can see them coming to the USA maybe during the summer, but not a new album any time soon if ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofine11 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) A states tour is given, I wouldn't say it's a given.It seems probable at this point. I'm sure all the positive media coverage of the Canada tour has wet a lot of fans appetite for seeing Guns live again in the U.S. I'm sure after the huge S.A. shows the band will be buzzing and ready to kick more ass on the road.

It's been too damn long and since the tour seems to be going well for Axl and GNR, maybe they might just want to continue. We can only hope.
