Guns N' Roses To Visit Belgrade, Serbia? [confirmed by promoter on March 1]

[Chinese Monopoly]

http://www.alo.rs/ljudi/24393/Guns_N_Roses_u_Beogradu

"Bogata koncertna ponuda biće dodatno pojačana jer slavna američka grupa ?Guns N? Roses? ovog leta prvi put dolazi u Srbiju, saznajemo ekskluzivno u dobro obave?tenim muzičkim krugovima.


Naime, ukoliko neko od domaćih promotera bude bio spreman da iske?ira pola miliona dolara, koliko iznosi njihov honorar, rokeri predvođeni frontmenom Ekslom Rouzom u raspored gradova na svojoj svetskoj turneji uvrstiće i Beograd. Kao potencijalni datum pominje se 20. jun, a mesto predviđeno za rok spektakl je ?Beogradska arena?, dok bi dan kasnije svirali i u Zagrebu.
Mo?da će nekom zasmetati ?to u ekipi ?pi?tolja i ru?a? vi?e nije čuveni gitarista Sle?, ali oni koji su ih čuli ka?u da nisu izgubili muzičku ubojitost i o?trinu."

The translation was terrible, so I'll leave it to the Serbian members.


Edit by Will: changed the thread title to add promoter's confirmation. Please remember the band has not confirmed yet.

[axleire]

European tour looking good hopefuly them come to ireland or somewhere close.

[ppbebe]

[CheapJon]

the google translate was pretty funny, axl's name in serbian is ekslom

Rich concert offers will be further enhanced because the famous American band "Guns N 'Roses" this summer for the first time coming to Serbia, we learn exclusively in a well-informed music circles.


Namely, if one of the local promoters to be ready to iske?ira half a million dollars, how much is their fee, rockers, led by frontman Ekslom Rose in the schedule of cities on its world tour uvrstiće and Belgrade. As a potential date is mentioned on 20 June, provided a place for rock spectacle is the "Belgrade Arena", while a day later played in Zagreb.
Maybe someone will bother you in the team "guns and roses" is not a famous guitarist, SLES, but those who have heard them say they have not lost musical deadlines and sharpness. "

i like the "those who have heard them say they have not lost musical deadlines and sharpness" 

[ppbebe]

wow, have seen axl pink but ekslom rouzom?
i'd love to hear some recordings of the show, if true, with fans screaming "EKSLOM!" loud.

[peka80]

I'm from Serbia, and this is (for now) the best news I've heard this year! 
Can't wait for official confirmation and date.

Knowing that we have one of greatest music festival in Europe (EXIT Fest), I'm pretty sure that we are capable to bring
one of the biggest rock bands in the World!

Here's the link of Belgrade Arena, were the concert should be:

Well in Serbia in 19th centrury we had a reform of Serbian language with Vuk Karadzic as a leader.And they have a not "Talking as you are writing"

So in Serbia we said Axl like eveeywhere in the world,but we writing AXL like we said EKSL

[gnr-4-ever]

So the Zagreb rumor (which was started a few months earlier) might happen after all. 

They might even visit Kosovo after Belgrade. Wouldn't that be fun, eh? 

[ppbebe]

i don't get the funny  but i think its great that some countries are finally seeing the band for the first time.

[bolton]

kosovo is stupid and unsafe place...you can buy heroine in market there...on the other side, i really doubt gnr have more than 10 fans in kosovo

[peka80]

Here's another article from local newspaper:
http://www.danas.rs/danasrs/scena/guns_n_roses_u_areni.561.html?news_id=183966

It's in Serbian language, but for the rest of you, it says that negotiations are in progress, and it is likely that Belgrade we'll see GnR in June! 
And they'll announce the date pretty soon!

[DarkFairy]

They should do Kosovo  That would rock something serious

[peka80]

They should do Kosovo  That would rock something serious

Don't believe it would happen in near future, or any time at all!

So.. if they wanna see and hear GNR, they are welcome to come to Belgrade!

[bolton]

They should do Kosovo  That would rock something serious

Well Serbia is small country about 10 million people live there,and as we know Kosovo is Serbian provincy,so i don't see any reason for two shows in such a small country

[jarmo]

According to our books, it's an independent country. 

Not saying GN'R will play there, just saying be careful with your nationalistic/political posts on an international message board.

[peka80]

/jarmo

Well for us here, that's just not funny!

And I agree, board is not place for nationalistic/political posts! So, it's better not to involve Kosovo in future!
Time will tell who was right and wrong about that question!

[gnr-4-ever]

I am around 90% sure I'm gonna go to Belgrade if they confirm, the 10% is because of the "Croatians not very welcome in Serbia" problem. 

As for the Zagreb show - I'm 127% sure I'll be in front row. 

[slasherr]

I'd go to Poland, Czech, Serbia and maybe Croatia

[bolton]

I am around 90% sure I'm gonna go to Belgrade if they confirm, the 10% is because of the "Croatians not very welcome in Serbia" problem. 

As for the Zagreb show - I'm 127% sure I'll be in front row. 

Well you're  not rihjt...i live in Kragujevac,third city in Serbia,and for example croatian company which name "Koteks Osijek" build buildings here...Is this posibble in Croatia?

Croatin and other people will be welcome in Serbia

[peka80]

As for the Zagreb show - I'm 127% sure I'll be in front row. 

I can agree that there can be a little bit of worry for your safety in Serbia, but as much as ours in Croatia!
I worked in EXIT Festival for past 4 years, and I can say that we have a lot of visitors from Croatia, and they are welcome as much as any other nation.

If in some way, GNR concert do not take place in Belgrade, I'm pretty sure that I'll come to Zagreb, and I'm planning to visit some other happenings in your country too. 

[draguns]

I'm thinking about flying to my parents' homeland -Serbia and Croatia- to see the band if they perform there. However, not sure if I would be safe given the fact that I am an American.  Although I do have  a Serbian name.

I guarantee you, that Serbia is very hospitable country and we are known for that! 
I know that we had bad reputation in 90's, and all wars that had been fought in Balkans, but today, it's a hole different story.
We really love visitors from other countries, and trying to be as much pleasant as we can! 

So, feel welcome to come and visit your parents homeland, 'cause it's gonna be cool party with Axl and crew!

that is IF GnR play there

Serbia is a safe place for everyone..Serbians are like brothers to us, Greeks..
I hope GnR will play there, cause if they are in the area, they are probably hit Greece too 

And, Jarmo , if you can do something about this : please tell Axl NOT to come in Greece in 19th of June cause i m getting married that date!

[Marko0190]

You are all welcome in Belgrade. And Albanians from our southern province!

[bolton]

Everybody welcomes in Belgrade,open city!!!

Ok Jarmo, but trust me man...these guys in Belgrade are pretty serious...

[Will]

The band only confirmed 2 dates in Europe: http://www.facebook.com/gunsnroses?v=app_2344061033&vm=all&s=10&hash=8668e61d574791c7b2bb49d4a5cedcfe

I don't think they'd come in Europe only for 2 concerts, but of course we'll see soon enough.

[peka80]

As you all read in thread for concert in Zagreb, today we got news that it also might be delayed in Belgrade as well!
So, we have to wait end of this week to hear some new information! Hope it'll be positive! 

[Lucky]

hate it when this sort of thing happens.
I hope someone gets his ass whipped for getting our hopes up.

[bolton]

Well I asked Belgrade Arena for Zagreb cancelation and Belgrade stuff and got this answer:
Postovani,

 

Hvala na poslatom mejlu i interesovanju.

Culi smo da je odkazan koncert u Zagrebu, posto radimo sa istim menadzmentom cekamo potvrdu koncerta GnR u Beogradu i dalje smernice oko istog.

Predlazemo da i dalje ostanete na nasem sajtu i o svemu se blagovremeno informisete.

Srdacan pozdrav,

ARENA BEOGRAD


"WE herad about Zagreb cancelation,so we worked with same menagment,and we are waiting confirmation for gnr show in belgrade and other instruction about it.You will get information as soon as it is posibble"

[Will]

If it was on their site, I think they already had confirmation from the band. Maybe they thought it was ok, even though the band didn't confirm 100%. I don't know. The band didn't really communicate about any European date yet.

[bolton]

well today we have another confirmation about guns n roses show,this time in article about billy idol show in Belgrade.They said that billy idol show will be in "Usce"-open arena because for 21 they planning gnr show in Belgrade arena,and as general menager said "There are no time for two big shows in Belgrade Arena.21 we have guns n roses show in Arena,so we have to move billy Idol show on "Usce""

http://www.blic.rs/Zabava/Vesti/183726/Bili-Ajdol-nastupa-na-Uscu--21-juna

[Lady Ashba]

So we'll have to choose between Billy Idol and GnR!?!?!?! OMG what's one to do?

[bolton]

Ahem, it was obviously a joke

[Classic Case]

My friend already have the tickets for this show, I will ask her for some pictures of it.

[peka80]

It still says that it will be announced in future.

Someone sang: "Just a little patience..." 

[peka80]

Unfortunately 



It's official site of Belgrade Arena, where's supposed to be concert on 22th June.
It says that it's canceled!

[Six Strings]

Now this is fucked up!

[bolton]

There is no news about cancelation now on this site

[peka80]

There is no news about cancelation now on this site

Well, I think that they don't want to be any news about G'n'R concert on their site! 
No official explanation, nothing.

More fucked up! 

[svdv22]

This concert was never confirmed by guns n' roses / this site in the first place. So why should they 'give an official explanation'?

[peka80]

This concert was never confirmed by guns n' roses / this site in the first place. So why should they 'give an official explanation'?

Billy Idol's concert was removed from Arena to Usce, because of G'n'R.
Why would they do that if there wasn't for G'n'R!?
And that was official state from Arena's organizer!

And now we have cancellation! 
Wouldn't you like an explanation for that?!

You got pictures and a Health and Safety guy saying the stage ain't safe and if that ain't an explanation I don't know what is....
The band were there and somebody screwed up-shit happens and the offer of a next day show was turned down, as regrettable as it is, the whole world don't stop to make sure a gig goes on. Rough I know, but that's life...

I'm not saying that I'm right or not! It's just that we have various information about the show. Someone saying the show is canceled, someone the show is still on etc. So, it would be nice of them to explain what's going on! 22th Jun is not that far!
