Guns tour in the works???

[Ali]

There are Axl fans... Fans of Axl.

There are GNR fans... Fans of the entire BAND.

Wow, explaining that just shows how confusing my post really were. Sorry about that.

But doesn't being a fan of GN'R, the entire band, also then encompass being a fan of Axl Rose?

I have to say that seems strange to me.  You have to be a fan of Lars Ulrich in some capacity, at least as a drummer/musician, in order to be fan of Metallica because he is such an integral part of Metallica.  Axl Rose was and is such a huge part of Guns N' Roses, because of his stage presence, the unique sound of his voice, and his songwriting.  To not appreciate those things means not appreciating all that has and continues to make Guns N' Roses so great.

i thought the plan was to tour when the album droped? or was that a rumor too?

[gunns1]

well at this point in time,

Me like alot of people would rather gnr not tour just for a few months, if it means they can concentrate all their efforts in releasing
chinese democracy.

I mean
Its actually Better for the band to tour under a new album..
I mean, the album is promotion itself for the tour, and judging by how alot of shows ecspecially in america in 06 werent even nearly sold out,
which means their obviously not spending enough money on marketing/promotion, or the big obvious, they havnet dropped cd

I mean, from a business point its dumb as a brick to tour without a new album,
but once again, gnr does decide to do things their way, which might be why we have no album...

I mean, I just hope this isnt like 06, 07, 2 years imo that were wasted opportunities to release the album,
how would everyone feel if we dont get the album this year, and all we get is a few short tours?
can we all say GROUND HOG DAY

I agree. I can't stand to see Vince Neil's face let alone hear what he has to say about anything, but I love Motley Crue, and IMO to love them means that I have to at least respect him as an artist. I absolutely love his voice.
Simplified: I hate the man but I love the voice. Weird huh?

As I'm sure the band want the album out even more than we do, I think it'd be nice for the fans to give them a little credit and acknowledge that they're hardly likely to do anything that'd cause an unintentional delay at this stage.  That said and bearing in mind all the various mobile communication tools available today, I can't see that being on tour would put a spanner in the works anyway, given that the recording is completed.

I mean, from a business point its dumb as a brick to tour without a new album,

Oh come on, you've got to give him some credit on this one; Axl isn't some wet behind the ears newcomer to the music business and although I don't believe money to be his main motivational force, he's got a living to earn as we all have.  Fair enough, the profit may not be as large as it would be if an album was out but have you considered the fact that maybe there were additional reasons, besides purely financial ones, behind his decision to tour?  I'm not claiming to have any special knowledge but I can think of several other factors that could well have had some bearing on his decision.

And, guess what, regardless of whether you or I consider it a sound decision,

a) it's not our money that's being spent, and

b) it's really none of our business how he conducts his financial affairs or lives his life.

I mean, I just hope this isnt like 06, 07, 2 years imo that were wasted opportunities to release the album,

I don't agree with your 'wasted opportunities' comment because the album wasn't ready for release then - and for all I know, there may still be business stuff to sort out now.

How would I feel if I don't get the album this year but do get some live shows?  I'd be delighted that I get to see my favourite band play live again and happy to wait until all the creases are ironed out before I get to hold the album in my hands.

Fair enough, But if the album wasnt ready to come out in 06 then why did axl keep confirming that it was going to come out that year,
anyways  thats in the past now, and Ill be glad if they tour this year,
but all im saying is,
Each year should be better then the last, and to me, 06 was better then 07, so I hope it only goes up from there 

[November_Rain]

Maybe he thought it was coming that year and that?s why he said it. I mean, he is not stupid and he knows this kind of things produce a backlash so, I don?t think he just said it to make us happy and give us false hopes but because he was sure it was going to be that year. And maybe things didn?t go as they were planned and it all fucked up for whatever reason.

By the way, good post Cyllan

[ppbebe]

why did axl keep confirming that it was going to come out that year,

because he thought it was. things don't always go according to plan. read axl letter.

07 was even better than 06. the band ripened each show. the new songs sounds stronger.
they completed the album. and we got the baz album with 3 songs featuring axl

Yeah... I agree... 2006 and 2007 were great years comparing to those before... now we can just wonder... what will 2008 bring us? More touring? An album? More changing in the bandmembers? New release dates? Any press conference? Who knows! Let?s just wait and see. 

[rockNroses]

So what is it?

Tour in 2008 or not?

Only Axl and a few other people know.

As someone who has been a fan of GNR since the very beginning, I would love to see a constant never ending tour, regardless of the setlist. (Axl, I would pay to hear you sing the alphabet, no joke. )I have listened to the "old" songs every day since I was 13, and they are such a huge part of my life that hearing them live is more amazing than you can imagine...it brings me back to a time and a feeling that you can't understand unless you lived it.  So CD or no CD, I will continue to buy tickets to hear the songs of my youth until the day I'm dead...quite honestly, I would be severly disappointed if any GNR show didn't give me Axl and the snake dance of WTTJ!

Well said, I can relate to those feelings, I lived it also, a little older than you, but I was on the same boat.  By the way Welcome to the board!!!

[ppbebe]

apparently the rest are also bs and they are not planning to tour at the moment, nay?

Guns N? Roses are going to tour in Poland, also that there are going to announce it very soon.

[November_Rain]

According to Mysteron there?s no tour planned. He said it in Mygnr.
