Six shows confirmed so far including the historic return to The Ritz (now Webster Hall), 24 years after the filming of their heralded "Live At The Ritz" ? the MTV concert continues to be one of the most sought after trades in bootleg circles. For the Webster Hall date, GN'R will celebrate their return by reclaiming the venue as The Ritz with signage and the name appearing on the marquee. The New York takeover in February marks the first time the band will appear at Roseland and Terminal 5, beginning on February 10, 2012. Full list of dates below.

GUNS N' ROSES last month completed its first U.S. tour since 2006.

In addition to sole original member Axl Rose, the current lineup of GUNS N' ROSES includes guitarists Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, Richard Fortus and DJ Ashba, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman and drummer Frank Ferrer.

"Chinese Democracy", the 2008 album released by the current edition of GUNS N' ROSES after a 15-year wait, was officially certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 3, 2009 for shipments in the United States in excess of one million copies. The long-in-the-making, 14-song CD finally arrived 17 years after the last full-length collections of original GUNS material, "Use Your Illusion I" and "II", were released, and nine years after the non-album track "Oh My God" surfaced on the soundtrack of the movie "End Of Days".

"Chinese Democracy" was made available exclusively through Best Buy."

cool! So there it is! Monday`s news! =)

[Bodhi]

awesome news!!!  Fingers crossed to being able to get into the Webster Hall show, or really any show for that matter.  These are going to be hot tickets!

[sandman]

FUCK. YES!!!! 

i've listened to that Ritz concert a thousand times over the years.

"bout 5 or 6 years i ago, i hitch-hiked here. ended up stuck out, in the middle of this place. climbed up out onto the freeway, and this little old black man comes up to me and my friend with our backpacks and about 10 bucks between us, and he goes 'YOU KNOW WHERE  YOU ARE? YOU'RE IN THE JUNGLE BABY. YOU'RE GONNA DIE!' that's a true story, that ain't no lie. so WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, RITZ!!!"

[ereeper]

I will be trying for Chicago.  This will be great if I can see the band here and the HOF in 2012.

[ForeverGNR]

How do I get tickets through the pre-sale?

[johnreed3344]

in.love.with.this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[russtcb]

Damn. Chicago but no Detroit, although the announcement says "six dates so far..." so maybe there's a chance for Detroit after Chicago?

[Bandita]

Excellent!!!

[ereeper]

The Fox in Detroit is vacant from Feb. 13 to Feb. 23.  I wonder if they could squeeze one in there.  An official announcement from the band should clear all that up.

[babydolls]

awesome news!!!!!!!    that's the best start to a Monday in a long time!
(sadly I cant go to NYC thanks to workcommitments    - but tour dates popping up all over this side    I'll get to a show somewhere soon this year
Good luck everyone trying to get tickets!

[GnR-NOW]

I cant believe they are going to finally play Atlantic City and I cant go !!!!!!!!!!! I will at least be at the Fillmore in MD 

....Check that I might be able to go to the AC Show !!!!!

[FabioFrehley]

So, 2012 tour seems to be the end of the CD tour maybe ?

[Tyson]

How do we get presale tickets???

The Fillmore is empty around the same time. I'm hoping something pops up for us.

[richwoman]

So, 2012 tour seems to be the end of the CD tour maybe ?

I`m hoping it`s the beginning of something new  Also  i`m thinking the web site will be launched in the next few days so fans can buy the tickets from it

Any active of this band is good for me. But i'm hoping in these theatre shows gn'r will play some new songs. And maybe Axl keeps up in the set for the European Tour. And reading that what i can understand is the tickets will be on sale at the site also

[banachkevin]

sounds great just wish i had a passport

[WAR41]

I am going to try and go to all 3 NYC shows.  Possibly the AC show as well

[BKinNYC]

OK, two other people asked this, and no one answered:

How do we get presale tickets?
