The response to our last show at Madison Square Garden was nothing short of amazing.I've spent the last couple of months here in New York. I’ve had a great time, met a lot of great people and the band and I are excited that we get to play New York City and play for the friends - both old and new - that we’ve made before we head to Europe."The band are playing a mixture of headline Festival appearances including Rock In Rio in Portugal, Download at the UK’s famed Castle Donington, Rock Am Ring in Germany, Gods Of Metal in Italy, Novarock in Austria, Graspop in Belgium, Roskilde in Denmark, and A Heavy Day In The Park in Holland as well as their own headlining indoor shows in Madrid, Budapest, Prague, Warsaw, Paris, Zurich, Stockholm, Oslo, and Helsinki, most of which have been instant sellouts.Following their strongest ticket sales for the event ever Download promoter Stuart Galbraith of Live Nation enthused, "The comeback of GN’R into the UK live market place has been quite phenomenal. GN’R along with Metallica and Tool will be headlining the biggest Download festival ever at Donington that for the first time in its history will sell out and in addition will also play to a sell out audience at Download Dublin – it’s been a very long wait but it’s certainly been worth it - GN’R are back!"Guns N’ Roses have sold over 65,000 tickets in Stockholm, Oslo and Helsinki in just a couple of hours. Promoter Thomas Johannson of Live Nation commented, "Guns N’ Roses, the cornerstones of Rock, will forever and ever do sell outs.New York promoter Randi Henner at Live Nation commented, "GN’R is as hot a ticket in NYC as anything I have seen in recent memory.

Howard2k Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 appearently others felt so... Welcome to the Internet. Just go about believing everything you read on a forum and get over it. And I noticed that even though you still protest the need for the link and obviously think that it's impossible for people to make stuff up, you still included the link.

The madrid show was moved forward i think I´ve just found out!!I don´t know who´s the idiot who decided to change the date, but thanks to this idiot now I´ve lost my first and probably the only opportunity to se MY IDOLS live! Now I can´t go if the gig is may 25! I had it all planed and now it´s all gone.I´m furious! I knew it was impossible, one of my dreams come true? how naive I´ve been Edited May 5, 2006 by November_rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissen Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 same band, new members. deal with it.a reunion would be cool, but not fair to the new guys.Who gives a fuck about the new guys? They're just hired and in for the money (didn't Brain say something like that?)Who thinks a second about fairness when you could see Axl and Slash together on stage!!

axlskAmpf Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 (edited) Not to change the subject intentionally, but on the NY tickets front, look at this.http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?c...kets&category0=In looking at the "buy now" aren't these prices, particularly these floor tix,http://cgi.ebay.com/Guns-and-Roses-Tickets...1QQcmdZViewItemincredibly cheap? I thought the floor seats went for more naturally? Are these shows sold out? I hear 3 minutes yet see availabilty, thoughts?
