GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE "CHINESE DEMOCRACY" NORTH AMERICAN TOUR AND STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP WITH MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ADVANCED MEDIA
Hot on the heels of their sell out shows last week in Las Vegas, San Francisco and KROQ's Inland Invasion in Los Angeles Guns N' Roses announce the first leg of their "Chinese Democracy" North American Tour.

The tour which will kick off on the 20th of October in Jacksonville, Florida finds the band in top form having spent the summer in Europe playing to 700,000 plus people over 32 shows in 18 countries, making it one of the biggest tours of the year on the continent and in the UK. Concert goers were not let down as Axl Rose and his band mates Dizzy Reed, Robin Finck, Richard Fortus, Tommy Stinson, Chris Pitman, Brain and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal burned through classics such as "Welcome to the Jungle," "Paradise City," "Nightrain," "Mr. Brownstone," "November Rain" and "Sweet Child O' Mine" as well as highlighting soon to be favourites from the forthcoming "Chinese Democracy" album.

Just this week, the Hollywood Reporter's concert review of KROQ's Inland Invasion observed, "when headliner Guns N' Roses took the stage everything old became new again - and everything new on the bill, just couldn't hold a candle in comparison... the night belonged to Guns N' Roses!"

Axl Rose commented, "We had an amazing tour in Europe this summer and last week’s shows here in the US were great. It's been a long time getting here but we look forward to coming to your town and having a lot of fun."

Sebastian Bach who has been guesting with Guns N' Roses on "My Michelle" will open the entire tour with the Special Guest slot going to a number of great bands starting with Papa Roach for the dates through the 3rd of November. The shows have been planned to cater to a Guns N' Roses rock n' roll party atmosphere with Sebastian hitting the stage every night at 8 pm followed by the Special Guest at 9 pm and Guns N' Roses shortly after 10 pm and lots of great music in between.

Guns N' Roses are also delighted to announce that they have partnered with Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLB.COM) to provide their fans with premium ticketing opportunities and up to the minute information on the tour and the band's other activities via gunsnroses.com which will be launched as of tomorrow.

Hm. It'll be interesting to see if Chinese Democracy's any good. And it'll also be interesting to see if it does indeed come out on one of those Tuesdays.

Cause last I heard it was coming out around 5 months ago. :p

First leg? Wasn't the tour 3 years ago called Chinese Democracy?

[hulahulk]

The Nov. 6 show in Maine ought to read "Cumberland", as in the county. Cumberland County Civic Center.

Damn, I'll be on MAUI then. Shucks.

[kmeyers]

This "tour schedule" is probably as accurate and popular as my imitation Jackass tour..."let me hurt you, 2006," I have lots of footage of that.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Mmmm I enjoy the " Ripping " as usual. Yep...I welcome it. People thought Axl would no show the overseas dates this summer. He managed to do it all.

I want Guns n Roses to prove people wrong. To spite them. I welcome the album and hope the Tour goes well. This way G'n'R can continue its rise. :)

[Fish Sauce]

Oh no, I'm hoping for the best for the album. Cause it has a chance to be damn good.

There was going to be some sort of Guns N' Roses concert here a while ago, actually. It had the original members like Tracii Guns etc. I can't remember exactly who was supposed to be in it though. Didn't buy tickets cause there was no Axl, no Slash and from what I remember no Izzy or Duff. I believe Adler may have been the drummer.

The show got cancelled in the end. I think due to lack of sales.

I wish Gun's n Roses would prove everybody wrong too...problem is, this isn't Gun's n Roses, it's Axl's n Roses.

I wish Gun's n Roses would prove everybody wrong too...problem is, this isn't Gun's n Roses, it's Axl's n Roses.

And that would be checkmate.

That sounds like Adler's Appetite.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Wierdly the Spanish press seem to really love Adler's Appetite.

Its an old straw man though. " Its not Guns n Roses " even though Axl won the court battle twice now. And has Dizzy Reed remaining as a band member. Also Izzy Stradlin has done shows with this new band.
