Title: Rumour: Guns Down Under
Post by: Dead N' Bloated on May 17, 2006, 10:18:34 PM
A friend of mine heard last night on 105.3 newfm, that Guns N' Roses are coming out here in late this year. I flipped when he told me. Has anyone heard a rumour of GN'R hittin Australia anytime soon?

 That would be absolutely awesome if they do. Sitting here in OZ watching everyone getting tickets to shows, going to gigs and all that. I just wished I was still overeseas.
I won't hold my breath though about them coming anytime soon

Fuck yeah, I hope that's true!

The last GN'R tour we had here was back in 1993, so come on Axl, bring your rocking new band with you down under! :beer:

I'm in Sydney so If they do come to OZ I'll be laughing. I would consider a trip to japan if they didn't come here. Although I would be a little bit tentative about handing over the cash after spending a shit load travelling to Portugal for RIR4 and having them pull out on me !

GNR fan from Sydney here

Fuck yeah i can't help but feel a little bit sad and left aside just like every other GNR fan..don't get me wrong I love to read the updates and reviews and I am very happy for everyone who gets to experience the band live..but Australia :(

I hope they will come. It's been too long. I was too god damn young last time they came out. I would have been 7 or 8

Guns N Roses at Big Day Out?

Now that would be interesting..

Then again I'd prefer their own headlining gigs though


Title: Re: Guns Down Under
Post by: Gordi on May 17, 2006, 11:19:15 PM
Gunner fan from perth here.
Doubt they'll come here to be honest but I'd love it. I think they'd suit the Big Day Out really. Often we have huge acts that are highly anticpated Metallica, The Stooges, The White Stripes and it would be fitting to include Guns if they come here. And also that way they'd be able to get to every city.

What are us Aussies doing posting anyway right now? Its the middle of the day. Are you guys at work?

The reason Im on is because I quit my job a couple of weeks ago to focus more on university so Ive got a hell of a lot more free time.

Gunner from Sydney here. Wow all you guys coming out of the wood work!

I also heard on Triple M last week that they have had word from promotors that something is coming.

However if they were to come here, I would assume it would be after some Japanese/Asia dates.


Title: Re: Guns Down Under
Post by: Tomorrows on May 18, 2006, 12:13:00 AM
Itll probably be a bit closer to Sydney this time as well seeing as we now have Telstra Stadium.

I personally hope they play Aussie Stadium since its easier for me to get to.

Itll be huge if they come!


Title: Re: Guns Down Under
Post by: badapple81 on May 18, 2006, 12:19:07 AM
I'm not so sure Guns could fill the stadiums, I could be wrong.

My guess would be the Sydney Superdome or Entertainment Centre.

I think I'm more surprised that Triple M even reports stuff like that, rather than the news itself...

Yea - youre probably right. I think my sense of GnR size gets skewed because Im here a lot. A small venue show would kick ass and be worth every bit.

When i read the subject title i nearly fell off my chair, even if its false its cool to hear a rumor of em' comin' downunder! : ok: :hihi:

93'.....i was 10 n' i remember PEPSI had a comp, when you finish your can, if you see the title 'GNR' on the bottom of the can you scored a free ticket, ..........man, i bought hundreds of those fuckers :hihi: :hihi:
ive met heaps of people who went to that concert n' have all got a story to tell :hihi:

My cousin hitchhiked down from Briz holdin' a sign sayin' GN'R!! : ok: : ok:

NO SHIT, when GNR tour im travellin' n' hopefully catch em' at all stops n' hopefully meet some of you guys :beer: :beer: :beer:

Hmmm... I thought that was a promo competition with Coca-Cola, not Pepsi.
I remember you had to collect bottle caps and you could bid for different prizes - a Gibson guitar, signed leather jacket, brand new Ute with GN'R logos on it, and a couple of other GN'R related things.

Maybe it was a Pepsi promo in QLD, because here in Sydney it was most definitely a Coca-Cola competition. I think I still have some old stickers from it lying around somewhere. Their Eastern Creek gig in 1993 was sponsored by Coke too.

Coca Cola had a massive promotion where you could win a car or a guitar signed by Slash. I remember the ad on TV went like "win a mean set of Axl's or a guitar slashed by Slash" or something similar!

Coke also had a promotion on their cans.

7-11 had a promotion where you take so many vouchers in and get an Axl bandanna!

Triple M had these cool GN'R black car stickers.. Im remember I had so many back in the day all over my school folders and stuff? :hihi:

I went to that concert and to me it was the coolest thing ever. I do remember a bunch of stuff on the news the next day - like girls saying they were forced to urinate while peeople watched due to lack of facilities, and like people complaining about bottles of water at insane prices. I cant speak about the toilet issue - but i rememebr at the time thinking like - duh - of course prices are gunna be maxed - its no different to going to the royal melboure show or some other public event - u dont expect cheap food.

I also rememebr the drama with the bus system to take people from the venue back to the city. Me and my mate waited for hours...but hell that just added to the atmosphere in a way.....

Awesome show....hope they come back!!!

Good work, thanks for your effort mate

Great to see there are still the loyal Axl / GNR fans no matter what has happened in the past

I look forward perhaps to seeing some of you guys and sharing the experience when GNR return

And hopefully they play a modest venue so we can try to meet them out the back hey ;)

I do remember a bunch of stuff on the news the next day - like girls saying they were forced to urinate while peeople watched due to lack of facilities, and like people complaining about bottles of water at insane prices. I cant speak about the toilet issue - but i rememebr at the time thinking like - duh - of course prices are gunna be maxed - its no different to going to the royal melboure show or some other public event - u dont expect cheap food.

I also rememebr the drama with the bus system to take people from the venue back to the city. Me and my mate waited for hours...but hell that just added to the atmosphere in a way.....

Awesome show....hope they come back!!!

Was the venue far out from the city?

In Sydney they had the show at the fucking Eastern Creek raceway which is ages away from the CBD.

Yeah, but only 10 minutes down the road for all us westy's! : ok:

Another Aussie fan from Melbourne.

Like just about everyone else I was 7 when they toured in 93! What a shame.

But I'm gonna see them twice in England this year!  ;D

Hope the rumours of them coming down are true!

Don't think it would be Big Day Out related though as the Chilli's are supposed to be headlining it this time.

Post by: badapple81 on May 19, 2006, 06:34:17 AM
Nothing good to report I'm afraid. Frontier Touring would most likely bring them here and I emailed them, they said there are no plans to bring them here. It's worth while noting that quite some time before VR was announced, they were quite forthcoming with their response and openly admitted that I should keep checking back any time now. And before that they hinted that there were plans. So when they say nothing is planned, I believe it.

Yeah its a fair way - but I guess its all in where you live in Melbourne. It was miles for me - but I'd do it again in a second!! LOL. I just tried to get the exact location for you - and discovered the venue still talks about the GNR show on their website - pretty cool for 13 years ago LOL

Yea, Im sure it was. Maybe I should give Triple J a call ... one moment.

Fuck, they dont have an inquiries number. I registered an account and posted a thread about it on their Song Q+A board (http://www2b.abc.net.au/tmb/Client/MessageList.aspx?b=3&t=1&te=False) (thread should appear soon).

Title: Re: Rumour: Guns Down Under
Post by: Dont Cry on May 26, 2006, 08:52:24 AM
This is my first post on the board, I'm from Sydney and was about 8 when GNR came to Aus in 1993...I didn't get to see the show.

I was vaguely aware of their existance due to the enormity of Teminator 2...me and my brother loved you could be mine when we were little and used to rock out to it when it came on video hits or some crap like that :)

An Australian GNR tour is exactly what this country needs at the moment. They need to show all these "huge bands" like nickelback how the big boys do it.

Personally I think a reunion tour would break box office/crowd records and be great but realistically I dont see it happening. The current lineup is great and more importantly...tight.

Everyone around the world now has the GNR hunger as they are actually playing shows again, so lap it up you lucky Euro pricks !!!     ;D

Hey guy's been checking this site daily for the past two years or there abouts and never bothered registering. Just find it funny reading about topics some people come up with. Anyway good to see alot of younger fans remembering the Eastern Creek and Calder shows back in 93.
I'm a touch older and actually saw them on their first tour here in 88 in Melbourne and then in 93 at Calder.
I have no doubt Guns will once again tour here maybe not this year but hopefully within the next 2 years. Rock On

Anyway - what do i see out the corner of my eye - but a Big fucking GNR logo - the one with the two guns pointing either side. I nearly crashed the car - and i'm all like "YES ITS HAPPENING" - then i soon realised that it was just an add for the local GNR coverband's next gig. I guess i should have realised straight away cos its not the new logo - but you know we live in hope!!

(Incidently the band i'm talking about kick some serious ass - so i'd recomment going to anyone in melb!)

No its "appetite for destruction - the GNR show". I'll post the link to it if that wont upset the rules or anything

http://www.smotheronline.com/welcome.htm

they are full on wicked - the guy who plays slash is my guitar teacher and he really makes and effort to render the parts note for note like the cd...very cool....

They also do the dress up thing, which i agree is a bit wacky, but then it seems to be the standard thing in tribute bands.

Anyway sorry for the SPAM - but they do rock!!

I did pretty much exactly the same thing last week!
I was walking to the 'G for the Socceroos game last thursday night, walked under the train bridge on punt rd and there was that massive poster! The logo was so huge I thought it had to be! Nearly fell on to the road but it was an ad for that cover band as you say.

Was pretty damned funny. Oh well I get to see 'em in a bit over a week anyway.

 :drool:

Thanks for the heads up mysteron? : ok:, any idea if you will be able to help us out with pre-sales down here?

Wait until nearer the time when dates are announced.

If you think we need to do a presale then I'm sure we can work something out.

Hi All,

Chris from Melbourne here. Am more a Bumblefoot fan than Guns fan, but his joining has lead me to checking some of the stuff out again, and even though I didn't really get it the first time round, I'm starting to this time. Had to sign up when I saw Mysteron's post today (been watching this thread for a while).

Anyway, sorry to ask what is probably the most retarded newbie question, but can I ask how ya know of this Mysteron? Everyone seems to take it as an almost confirmation - just wondering what the connection with the band is if any?

Sorry to ask, I've just been hoping to meet Ron for years now as I look up to him a lot. Will be a happy camper if that were to happen next year!!

THANKS and talk to ya's soon!!

He has proven himself reliable time after time, so don't worry about that.

Unless plans change in the GN'R world, it looks like they'll be playing in Australia in 2007.

OK - THANKS for the clarification Jarmo :)

Not meaning to doubt Mysteron, so no disrespect there, just don't wanna get my hopes up too much.

Afterall - I've been waiting for a Paul McCartney concert to be rescheduled since 2002 :P

But if this DOES happen, I'll prolly do Melb and Syd :)

Post by: Megaguns on June 17, 2006, 07:26:51 AM
will they play somewhere like eastern creek again? or are they nowhere near as big anymore, I just hope they dont play the entertainment centre, That place sux. Id like to see them do maybe 2 shows at the metro or uni roundhouse.


Title: Re: Rumour: Guns Down Under

I'd love a Metro or Big Top show. Somewhere small and personal....mmhmm....


Title: Re: Rumour: Guns Down Under
Post by: R.A.W. on June 17, 2006, 07:43:22 AM
I would much prefer to see them in a smaller venue than another big stadium gig like the Eastern Creek & Calder Park were played.
They seem to suit the smaller venues better now days and it is a bit more up close and personal for the audience aswell. Hammerstein was the perfect venue for them so Rod Laver in Melbourne would be awesome...

If Gn'R play any dates in Canada before the end of this year, I think Toronto is the most definate place they would in fact play here.

There's only so many big cities that bands will play here in Canada, with Toronto, Montreal, London, and Ottawa usually being them : ok:

haha fellow ontarian you're gonna piss off the rest of canada...you forgot vancouver, calgary, possibly winnipeg & montreal :rofl:

I'd suspect late fall for canadain dates....i hope? they play toronto just in time for the release of CD so we are among the first to get the mostly new setlist :beer:

Haha, you really think they'd play Vancouver after what happened in '02? :hihi:....plus it rains there all the time :-*

Calgary is absolutely beautiful though...imagine an outdoor Guns' show there... :drool:

The Canadian dates were very close to the beginning of the '02 tour last time, so I guess we can only hope to be as lucky this time : ok:

Title: Re: Rumour: Guns Down Under
Post by: kyrie on July 10, 2006, 05:42:58 PM
Possible Canadian Dates (based on size/location):

Vancouver (probably not due to past riot)
Victoria (possible, it's a University town)
Edmonton
Calgary
Regina (rock is still king on the plains)
Winnipeg
London (2002 gig sold out, university town population 200,000, arena held about 10,000).
Toronto (about 15,000-16,000 at the show in 2002)
Ottawa
Montreal (probably not due to past riot)
Quebec City (good alternative?)
Halifax (if they want to do an east-coast show)

I'd so love to see GNR tour around here. And if there's a US tour, a Toronto show is almost a given considered it was one of their better-selling shows in 2002 and Axl seems to like it there.

So yeah, if you're visiting from .au there's a chance to see them if they tour.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for taking the time to write to me.  I appologize for the lengthy
delay in responding to your email.  I've been trying to catch up on my
website emails while I'm on this tour.  Not that easy though, i'm still
only at May and I've only got 2 more weeks left on the tour! We are
trying to book some shows in Australia now.  Hopefully we will be there
at some point in the next 6 months!  I'm psyched.  i love Australia.
can't wait to dive the great barrier reef!
hope to see you soon and thanks for your support.
