Gambit83 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 So who went to the 2002 Chinese Democracy tour? Who had tickets only to be cancelled on? 15 years after I saw GnR on the last show of that tour before it was cancelled, we interview Deron Miller. He told us that NO ONE has asked him about it since. The most curious takeaway for me, who were the other bands that CKY was up against that Axl picked them over to open? Enjoy! https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/appetite-for-distortion/id1116569741?mt=2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner55 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Ohhh really looking forward to checking this one out. Didn't get into Guns till 2006 but that 2002 era had such a mystique to it from my point of view looking back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did come back to sing the outro but then just said goodnight and ended the show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Cool insights into the changing musical landscape in the era. Trends and business models were all shifting at once. I get the sense like he has more info we'd be interested in but it just didn't float to the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Tino Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I didn’t go to any of the shows but I’m a big fan of cKy. Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild is a top 5 or so favorite album of mine. And their first 3 albums are terrific IMO. Can’t wait to give this a listen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he might have more info, didn't want to press him. Hoping he comes on again and can find out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
