Do you think the Chinese Democracy Tour will finally end in India or will it continue on?

Do you think the Chinese Democracy Tour will finally end in India or will it continue on? I get the feeling it will carry on.

[Rustycage]

I think the Vegas shows are to gather some interest and they'll make another round.

[bacardimayne]

It hasn't been the "Chinese Democracy Tour" since 2010. Now it's just the "Appetite for a little bit of Democracy and a tiny bit of Illusions, with some covers thrown in to spice things up Tour"

[volcano62]

Is this another cupcake thread? We have not had a CD tour since what 2009?

[Randy Lahey]

It's all the Chinese Democracy Tour to me.

[izzydoezit]

It will continue on and many will be super excited at the new setlist!

[axlsalinger]

Chinese Democracy tour will continue until there is democracy in China.

[Apollo]

The real question should be when will there be a tour to support the new album?

[username]

Regardless of the name it's the same tour since 2001.

I REALLY hoped Vegas would be the end of it. End it with a bang and then take some time to record.

Move forward, make an album. NEW stuff.

And after that album release the 5-cd + 3-dvd The Chinese Democracy Years Box Set.

I thought Vegas would be the end before a longer break with work on a new record. After hearing the India rumours I thought a few more Asian dates would be added, THEN a break and work on the next record. Then the Jakarta date was announced and I believed in Australian dates which are now rumoured. Going by the trend I probably should now expect the touring to end after the (presumed) Australian dates but on the other hand, the trend is to just pile on more dates so I guess that will happen. I dunno.

Apart from the not taking time for a new album I can't imagine the never ending touring being good for Axl's voice either. I'd rather have him record some more good albums before he ruins it completely.

[Bumble's Bridge Pickup]

I don't know if I could live in a world without the CD tour.

[NachoLZ]

then it comes australia, maybe southamerica again, and then all again...

[Crash Diet]

I think the CD or whatzever tour end in 2013

Hopefully Axl working again on an album

if not, he is dead, artistically.

I'm guessing it'll keep going for awhile still.

[tkarmy]

oh they'll be hitting more Asia dates and Austrialia and New Zealand for sure.......... its what they do after that really matters. If they announce another South American it really is time to give up hope on a new album

[wasted]

One more time around. This time for real!

[saber_]

If you don't like it, Axl doesn't care. Suck on that.

[Georgy Zhukov]

One more trip around the world and who the hell knows?

[ironmt]

the shows are completely different than 2001. anybody that continues to perpetuate the myth that the shows have been the same since 2001 is either trolling or terribly misinformed.

Give It up already. Your not going to change anyone's mind by repeating yourself.

[wasted]

I think they'll play a tour where they play a few new songs before they release the next record.

[Randy Lahey]

If you don't like it, Axl doesn't care. Suck on that.

Cuz it tastes good?

No no no, don't you see... we get to pretend to live vicariously through Axl and tell people to "suck on that" as a way to mock their disgruntledness.

What if I chime in and agree with MSL that the shows today are very different from the shows in 2001, because:

- They are a lot longer (average of 23 songs vs 18 songs)

- The lineup is vastly different (Huge, Bucket, Robin, Brain have all gone)

- The setlist has changed A LOT (it really goes without saying since the length of the shows have increased).

[izzydoezit]

The setlist still pulls from the same pool of songs. Nothing to really get excited about. It's still the Chinese Democracy tour since 2001.
