tsunta421 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Guns N’ Roses to Tour India in December?Guns N’ Roses to Tour India in December?According to many credible sources including Wild City and Gibson Guitar India, rock juggernauts Guns N’ Roses (GN’R) will tour India this December. The legendary rock band has had a colourful history with huge hits such as ‘Sweet Child o’ Mine‘, ‘Paradise City‘ and ‘November Rain‘ entertaining fans around the world from the mid ’80s to the early ’90s. Along the way, there have been controversial changes in personnel and lots of infighting before the current avatar of the band was consolidated under lead singer Axl Rose.The tour is being organized by the organizers of the Korn India tour, Mooz Entertainment and their Vice-President Dilip Ramachandaran released this statement about the G N’R tourWe are the first company to bring three-city tours with a defined calendar of events year after year starting this September. It is no secret that our next big act is humongous indeed. Our Korn concerts will be followed by a three-city tour of the iconic band Guns N’ Roses in December 2012.Now, we don’t mean to be cynical but we’ve heard this before and we’ll tell you what happened the last time we heard that a Guns N’ Roses India tour was going to take place. In September 2009, our esteemed editor Arjun S Ravi came across an announcement by Bangalore-based firm Rhapsody Inc (read more about it here). A couple of days later, newspapers such The Asian Age and The Deccan Chronicle published an interview with the Director of Rhapsody Inc, Raj Sinha who confirmed the event (both papers no longer have the article in their archives but you can read our story on it here). The statement by Mr. Sinha definitely mentions that Guns N’ Roses would be coming to Bangalore but he confirms that only Axl Rose, Dizzy Reed and DJ Ashba would be there. He also said that, “There will also be a person called Troy and two other members.” When the director of the company that’s organizing the tour refers to an artist as “a person named Troy,” it doesn’t fill music fans with much confidence.Ultimately, it turned out that GN’R would not be touring India. This was confirmed by “Troy” who awesomely posed with the Dimapur Commandos and explained that he was supposed to perform with Dizzy Reed later that year but Axl Rose and GN’R would not be involved in any way. Also, GN’R guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal confirmed on his Twitter account that GN’R would not be performing in India (check it all out here). Hopefully, there is some truth to it this time around because Korn actually do seem to be coming to India. In fact, it would be really good if the band confirmed it soon, otherwise we’d just get frustrated and get these guys to perform some GN’R classics for us.

dalsh327 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's fine when they make announcements like this without the band confirming or denying, as long as they don't try to sell tickets. Sometimes it's to stir up interest, or they're still working details out. I think GN'R would rather make the announcement themselves, though.

AXL_N_DIZZY Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Haha... Don't really remember it but the '09 rumor is hilarious. Axl, Dj and some dude named "Troy" traveling all the way to India to "guest appear" at a Hookers N' Blow concert?? Yeah right! Prolly about the one thing that could ever get Dizzy fired. Lol.

maynard Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 i think gnr is still popular in south america thanks to their legendary shows in uyi era. rock in rio 2 was a big deal, at a time rock music was popular in brazil.people are not interested in the new band, but they still love axl, and that's kinda silly, so i agree with the "sillyness" of south americans.

SoulMonster Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 people are not interested in the new bandYet they buy the record in millions and team up for live shows in thousands...How does your mind deal with the constant influx of contradicting facts, does the sheer amount of rationalizing you are forced to do as a result of the massive cognitive dissonance make you lose weight?

I don't get that way of thinking. Something should end when it is bad, not when it "isn't as good as it once were". And GN'R obviously isn't bad, because people meet up in thousands to enjoy the shows and millions bought the latest record. No wait, I get it! You think the band should quit because you don't like it anymore! You are one of those incredibly selfish persons who want to rid the world of everything you don't like regardless of whether it brings joy and happiness to myriads of other people because simply choosing to avoid what you dislike is much more of a hassle.
