Well, if it was GN'R's decision, how come the Mexican and Japanese shows aren't advertised as the Chinese Democracy World Tour?

Wouldn't it make sense to use the same name for all shows?

How come it's only the Australian ones (which are promoted by the same company)?

Who the fuck knows really... Huh hihi

But I doubt everyone who bought tickets to the "CD World Tour" in Australia are following what Mexico and Japan are being advertised as to compare.

I might contact the promoter in Australia to find out what we're really gonna be getting when the band hits our shores in a few weeks.

Which comes back to my original comment "I hope that don't plan to bring that set list Down Under". Because it is The Chinese Democracy World Tour as promoted in Australia.. Thats the fact. Don't argue what its called or who made up the name. We live here and we know how the promotion has been sold.

So I hope they play more than 2-3 CD songs.

The band isn't doing the promotion either.

I suspect they'll play the same kind of show the rest of the world saw in 2006. More or less.

Complaining about a setlist in those places is like if a movie gets released after some time in your place but since you already saw it on a shitty cam version on internet, you want to watch a movie with new scenes.

I mean, get some time and make a pool outside the arena. Ask how much are there for GNR for the first time and how much complain about the setlist after the show.

Of course I would love to get more new songs (even old UYI songs) on setlist, but as I never saw this band live, I would have a blast anyways with the same old setlist for sure. As a lot of people who never saw them here in my country.

My only hope is that they at least include CD in the setlist seeing as Australia is being promoted as the "CD World tour". I have no other complaints about the set seeing as I haven't seen this band live ever. I have no doubt the shows will kick ass regardless.

Well considering this is from the bands own site.

"The 2007 Chinese Democracy Tour got off to a blistering start with two sold-out concerts in Monterrey and Guadalajara, Mexico."

I would say the are promoting it as the CD tour.

It's not.

Ok fuck it.? I am wrong.? Axl you piece of shit how dare you play the songs that people already know.? I hate singing along to sweet child of mine.? Your setlist should have been.? 1 Chinese democracy 2 Silkworms 3 Rhiad 4 Maddy 5 The Blues 6 Prostitute 7 Sorry 8 The Blues 9 The General 10 Twat 11 Better 12 Irs.? Encore My World.? Now that would have torn the lid off the place.?

I don't expect anything really, but Jarmo sure was adamant that it wasn't the "Chinese Democracy World tour" and the band's website says it pretty clearly.

Does it really matter what the tour is promoted as? If you dont like the setlist dont go. If you dont like it being called "Chinese Democracy World Tour" dont go. If you don't like the way Jarmo runs this place dont come back...

There seems to be a lot of negative energy amongst GNR fans lately... who are we blaming this week? Axl? Beta? Del? Jarmo? Hoarders? Leakers?

This has been really emotional and exhausting for lots of people on the board.  Its like a real life soap opera.  It is really compelling to be on this board.
