JungleCat Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F26WU0P9Am I the only one hearing things? I don't think I've seen this info posted but I'm sure Axl says they're playing some shows before that but the North American tour kicks off around Oct. 24.

Stiff Competition Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 yeah he said they are playing shows before that as in the ones that we know of now. That is most liely your reason why they stopped announcing shows(not because of poor ticket sales). This isn't part of the official tour, it's just kind of a warm up thing to ease back into the arenas an us crowds, etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Why are they warming up one month before the tour? And its not like they don't know the songs, they've just done what? 40 shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice that they covered all of Europe, but American crowds need to see this band. Besides, this band is getting tighter and tighter with every performance. I for one am pumped.

tat2d1 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 i just hope they come to chicago (or somewhere closer to me) before the weather gets shitty. i absolutely HATE being on iced over roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one am pumped.I totally agree, and will be seeing them myself. I just don't get the fact that they start a tour with the dates we know, then take a whole month before doing more shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseDemocracy Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Maybe Axl wants to show American promoters that he can actually show up for shows. I think these shows are there for a purpose, not a warmup (who does like 8 warmups shows?) they are probably something to spurn US promotion, or get some US hype going before the actual tour kicks off, that, and to show US promoters (like ClearChannel, who books major arenas in the USA) that Axl isnt the same guy he was in 2002 when he bails on every other show.

busngabb Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 One would hope that inbetween the gigs announced to date and the 24th October, GNR will do something.Potentially release a radio single, something like that. They they will release the details of the shows starting October 24th, which will be under a specific name, i.e "Guns n' Roses - Chinese Democracy 06/07 World Tour".During this first American leg they play a few more songs from CD and it drops. They follow that with the South American leg of the world tour in January before moving to Australasia, Asia and finally Europe in time for summer!Ba-da-bing...(Am I being unrealistic here? Will the US dates end with no new information?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find it beyond amazing dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the US dates end with no new information?)I think you're about right. If Oct 24th is the day the tour starts, they are going to do it on the back of a new single. New single in mid October. Album in early or mid November. It fits. I can't believe they would kick off the offical tour and not have a new single. And if they do have a new single then the album has to follow weeks later.Just one question, where is Australasia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will really help hype the tour if these shows all go as planned. Can't wait for them to come to my area again even though I already saw them in New York.Tbizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
