[maz]

I was just talking with a friend that bought presale tickets to see Pink in Sydney. She said that she is a member of Pinks website, and she was offered presale tickets that way. Try joining the G'N'R site, I am going to try this. Hope this helps, keep you posted.

Just thought I'd report that there are yet MORE rumours going around the Internet about Guns cancelling the Australian shows but they are NOT true, yet again.

Here's the latest:


Guns 'n' Roses Tour For Australia Still Going Ahead
by Paul Cashmere - April 21 2007


New reports overnight that the Australian leg of the Guns 'n' Roses has been indefinitely postponed are incorrect according to promoter Paul Dainty.


Dainty has once again confirmed to Undercover News that reports emanating out of South Africa last night that the Australia and New Zealand Guns 'n' Roses shows have been postponed following yesterday's decision by the band to pull out of South Africa have not been confirmed.

"I spoke with them last night and they did not tell me that," Dainty told Undercover.

Earlier, Japanese dates were postponed after bass player Tommy Stinson fell down a flight of stairs. Guns 'n' Roses postponed their Japanese dates because of the injury and yesterday also put South Africa on hold.

The South African shows were to take place in Johannesburg and Cape Town on April 27 and May 1st. "The South Africa dates are next week," Dainty said. "The Australian dates are still months away".

Guns 'n' Roses are due to start their Australia tour on June 10 in Perth.

Tickets are still scheduled to go on sale at 9am this Thursday April 26.

Sunday 10 June – PERTH - Burswood Dome
Wednesday 13 June – ADELAIDE - Entertainment Centre
Friday 15 June – MELBOURNE - Rod Laver Arena
Wednesday 20 June – BRISBANE - Entertainment Centre
Saturday 23 June – SYDNEY - Acer Arena

thanks for the update gemini..
wow - they pulled out of africa too..

did they pull out of Brazil as well?

[treen]

Here's hoping and praying that the gigs in Oz still go ahead. I also have tix to Melbourne, Sydney and Brissy and I am soooo excited. I have never been to a Melbourne gig before and I've heard that you guys are great metal fans down there. I can't wait. ;D

Perhaps, if GN'R don't play, then maybe Sebastian can headline with Rose Tattoo? Sounds good to me! How about it Baz???

P.S. Sorry Maz, I didn't explain myself too well....I'm the short-ass that was there with her sister and we stayed at the hotel a few doors down from Sebastian's room. Anyway, I'm sure to run into you somewhere along the way. Have fun if I don't. :D

Here's the latest I've found, Kat, about what Guns are saying about their tour now. No mention on Brazil though. I'm posting it here because I thought others might be interested too. I do feel sorry for the guys after reading what Robin Finck has to say at the end of this.

This is from Blabbermouth:

GUNS N' ROSES havee announced that their 2007 World Tour will begin on June 2 in Monterrey Mexico. The tour had been delayed due to an injury to bassist Tommy Stinson's left wrist. Fortunately, the sprain is healing nicely and soon the band will be ready to rock like only they can.

June will see GN'R perform three concerts in Mexico before heading to Australia and New Zealand. It's been fifteen years since GN'R last performed in Mexico, Australia, or New Zealand and the anticipation is beyond belief. July has GN'R traveling to Japan for a series of rescheduled concerts. Fans attending can expect to hear GN'R classics like "Welcome To the Jungle", "November Rain", "Patience" and "Sweet Child O' Mine" along with blistering new songs from the band's forthcoming "Chinese Democracy" album like "Madagascar", "IRS" and "Better".

GUNS N' ROSES tour dates:

June 02 - Monterrey Mexico Arena Monterrey
June 03 - Guadalajara Mexico VFG Arena
June 05 - Mexico City Mexico City Sports Palace
June 10 - Perth Australia Burswood
June 13 - Adelaide Australia Adelaide Entertainment Centre
June 15 - Melbourne Australia Rod Laver Arena
June 20 - Brisbane Australia Brisbane Entertainment Centre
June 23 - Sydney Australia Acer Arena
June 29 - Auckland New Zealand Vector Arena
July 14 - Tokyo Japan Makuhari Messe
July 15 - Tokyo Japan Makuhari Messe
July 17 - Tokyo Japan Budokan Hall
July 18 - Nagoya Japan Rainbow Hall
July 21 - Osaka Japan Osaka Jo-Hall

More dates will be announced.

2006 saw GUNS N' ROSES perform over 70 concerts all over the world to rave reviews. With the release of the highly anticipated and long-awaited "Chinese Democracy" album imminent, 2007 promises to be the time that GUNS N' ROSES reclaim their throne as the world's most dangerous band. Lead vocalist W. Axl Rose, guitarists Robin Finck, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboard players Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman, and drummer Frank Ferrer are a rock n' roll spectacular that have to be experienced to be believed.

In other news, Robin Finck has posted an open letter on his official web site regarding the band's cancelled shows and its postponed tour:

"I'm writing now in the wake of the recently postponed and cancelled GNR commitments in Japan and in South Africa," he wrote. "I guess I'm writing because I too am disappointed, have a conscience, a website, and I am not on the Bullet Train to Osaka this evening.

"I purely want to share with those whom were avid for seeing GNR at these concerts that I too was looking forward to seeing you all. The band was primed and pumped, production packed and shipped. Then, much to our distress, unforeseen circumstance walked in, dropped its surly case and announced with certainty, 'I'm here!' What can we do.

"I have received innumerable emails from real people who where hooking up with friends or family, flying to faraway cities, booking hotels or friends' couches, docking the USS Kitty Hawk, and otherwise scheduling their time and enthusiasm around these events. In short, these peeps wuz straight stung adrenalized and lettin' me square have it! I too was psyched about the shows, planning to meet friends and family, watch the cherry blossom blossom etc. It is my wish that your bounce forward from here be one of a willful arc and opportunity. Believe me, I'm swallowing that very pill by your side."


Hopefully that'll be the end of all those nasty rumours about them cancelling Australia.

I have to say it though, I can't get over the fact that both Tommy Stinson and Bobby have BOTH damaged their wrists! What are the odds!?! Actually another friend of mine, who is also a muso, damaged his wrist a week ago too!! No guitar playing for him for a while either. It makes me wonder what the **** is going on!

[Katkick]

Thanks for the current update gemini!
I'll have to figure out where in the world I saw Brazil later.. <shrug>


must be spring fever getting to the guys.. lol
'be careful out there guys!!'

[geminiblue]

There's a second show on sale in Melbourne too. A friend of mine already has tickets. I'm so proud to be an Aussie sometimes.

Edit: I just found another update saying there will be no more dates added in Australia. Here it is -

GUNS N'ROSES SELL OUT AUSTRALIA:

April 25, 2007

The Australian leg of the Guns n' Roses world tour got off to a great start this morning when shows in Sydney and Melbourne sold out within 30 minutes.

A second show for Melbourne has now been put on sale for Saturday June 16 and a second Sydney show will happened at Acer Arena on June 24. These are the final shows for Australia.

Despite a false start to the world tour following an accident by band member Tommy Stinson, the Aussie fans opened their wallets as a sign of the faith that the show will go on.

Promoter Paul Dainty told Undercover that he expects Brisbane and Adelaide to sell-out today but there will be no more shows.

Dainty also reports there will be no issues with Tommy Stinson by the time the tour is due in Australia. "I've had a medical certificate from the doctor. He will be fine," Paul tells Undercover News. "There was a concern at one stage but he will definitely be okay by the time the Australian tour rolls around".

"It is all systems go," he says. "Stand by for an awesome tour".
