CD In May, GH in March?

Written by Administrator

Tuesday, 21 February 2006

The Gods of Metal organisers have just officially announced that Guns N'Roses will close the festival on the 4th June 2006.

Rather interestingly, they have also added that a GN'R Greatest Hits album will be out in March, and Chinese Democracy will be out in May. In Italian, here is the newsletter;

GUNS N' ROSES al GODS OF METAL 2006!!!!!!!!

... e poi KORN, DEFTONES, MOTORHEAD !!!

L'attesa è stata lunga, ma crediamo che ne sia valsa la pena perchè per l'edizione del decennale Gods Of Metal raddoppia. La prima novità infatti riguarda la durata del festival che sarà di quattro giorni, e non più due. Si svolgerà il prossimo 1, 2, 3, 4 Giugno. Ricordiamo che il 2 Giugno è la Festa della Repubblica, per cui si tratta di un ponte veramente lungo che parte giovedi 1 giugno.

La seconda novità sarà la location: si torna a Milano. La cornice sarà quella dell'Idroscalo.

La notizia più attesa, quella che da ormai tredici anni tutti aspettiamo, riguarda il ritorno in grande stile dei GUNS N' ROSES che chiuderanno il festival domenica 4 Giugno. Axl Rose si è finalmente deciso: il nuovo attesissimo "Chinese Democracy" sarà nei negozi a maggio, e la band intraprenderà un lungo tour mondiale che avrà la sua unica tappa italiana al Gods Of Metal 2006. L'album sarà preceduto da un "greatest hits" in uscita a Marzo. GUNS N' ROSES saranno headliners in tutti i maggiori festival europei, compreso il Download in Inghilterra, Nova Rock in Austria, il Rock in Rio di Lisbona ed il fatto che abbiano deciso di esibirsi al Gods per il loro ritorno sulle scene ci rende particolarmente orgogliosi.

Arrivano inoltre le conferme ufficiali anche per KORN, DEFTONES e MOTORHEAD.

GODS OF METAL 2006 avrà una durata di 4 giorni, dal 1 al 4 Giugno. Si tratterà di un totale di 40 bands (10 al giorno).

Per ulteriori info, altre conferme (restano ancora 24 bands da confermare!!), la divisione nei vari giorni e gli altri headliners è ormai questione di ore.

Ecco la lista delle bands confermate al momento:

BENEDICTUM

CRUCIFIED BARBARA

The newsletter is in Italian because its from the Gods of Metal festival, taking place in Italy.

Basically it says GNR are playing there. Also says that there will be a GH II in March followed up by Chinese Democracy in May. It also says GNR are playing at Download.

Is it from the festival promoters?

Because if it is, why would they promote another festival..?

I didn't understand this letter... but the name of the topic is about Chinese Democracy in May so I'll just say to that...

March is a better time but I think May is a good time, just if it's in 2006 I'm happy...

my birthday is in May so that would be pretty good time
