Randy Lahey Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Is it back to South America for New GNR or are going to spread Chinese Democracy extensively in Africa and the Middle East? Edited July 19, 2013 by Randy Lahey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Diet Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Isn't a show planned for South Africa and India, but it didn't work out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 South America mostly likely. If they could then go into a studio to record the next album in Rio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 South America is a safe bet, but I don't think Axl is done with Africa and The Middle East just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsalinger Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hmmm, this is a great topic. Since this tour is the only thing that happens with Guns n' Roses, we really should spend more time analyzing it.I have to believe that South America is definitely in the cards. Whether they begin there or not though, is anybody's guess. I agree that the Middle East is a strong contender. Australia & New Zealand could possibly use another go. I think Japan is an undervalued prospect with a lot of upside. I'll go out on a limb and say 2013 marks the very first Guns show ever in Antarctica as well.

Randy Lahey Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 It's almost a crime that they haven't played Madagascar yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 bringing back Madagascar is one move they could make. But they've sort of done everything else like Estranged and Civil War. I don't think bringing back Sorry or IRS would shake the world. Another cover isn't either. Unless they do Eye of the Tiger of course. So maybe tour less pressure zones is what they can do until they work out how to release a record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaider Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 They are indeed coming down to South America. No dates have been confirmed yet, but there are credible rumors going around that they'll be playing Brazil and Venezuela, among other countries, before the year is over.

Guest NGOG Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Axl has always said he'd like to take the show to parts of Africa but I think it's a longshot. While they have played volatile areas including Beirut, ultimately there is less safeguards in place if they were to play in South Africa (which as I'm sure you're aware boasts huge levels of criminal activity).I would be against GNR going back to more middle eastern parts of the globe on the basis that musically it's just irrelevant. Frankly most of those crowds are naïve to the point that in their minds, through a limited exposure to popular culture, they're going to see the GNR that toured the world on such an epic scale in the 90s.If they are to go anywhere, and I would much prefer they gauage the creative juices at this point, it should be to Europe and maybe South America where they can retain credibility in the sense that not only are they playing for financial incentive, but they actually have a degree of credibility.

Naupis Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) where they can retain credibility in the sense that not only are they playing for financial incentiveThat shipped sailed long ago.The only reason they are touring is for financial purposes.Providing food, shelter, clothing, cars and all of life's necessities for a family of Brazilian leaches, Jarmo and Del James can get rather expensive.

Nosaj Thing Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I would say South America is next, then another leg in Europe then Africa and Middle East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The only reason they are touring is for financial purposes.To make a sweeping statement like that, you have to justify it. What about touring to solidify the band's level of ability? Or to directly show Interscope that an enthusiasm exists for this particular GNR?

Nick85 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 South America, for sure.
