I dont understand why they even bother with specific dates. We all know the tour is going to be severely delayed, and I wouldnt even be surprised if it was cancelled.

GN'R postpones start of tour, Stinson injured
By GunsNRoses.com

Tommy Stinson is recovering from a sprained hand after an accidental fall.Guns N' Roses have announced that they are postponing the start of their world tour, which was due to start in Japan.

The Japanese concerts are being rescheduled. Guns N' Roses will be able to make their two scheduled performances headlining the MyCoke festivals in South Africa at the end of the month.

"I feel so bad right now," explains bassist Tommy Stinson. "I accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. I put my hand down to break my fall and heard a loud 'pop.' The next morning my hand looked like a balloon. I went to see my doctor, and while the good news is that it's not broken, the bad is news is it's severely sprained and I may have done some ligament damage. We had our last rehearsal a few days ago and shipped the gear to Japan and then this happened. I feel horrible.

"I'd like to apologize to our Japanese fans that were looking forward to seeing us and know that we will we see you all soon. Again, we'd like to sincerely thank our fans worldwide for their patience and support."

Fans can expect to hear GN'R classics such as "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, including "Madagascar," "IRS," and "Better."

I already know this will be just another one of GNR's flake-fests.

This tour will NEVER happen, lets face it. Once it gets near to the June start date, Axl is going to have a problem with something and it's going to be cancelled.

GUNS N' ROSES KICKS OFF TOUR WITH BACK-TO-BACK SELLOUTS IN MEXICO
By GunsNRoses.com


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

From the opening notes of "Welcome To The Jungle" to the final encore "Paradise City," Guns N' Roses had the rabid crowd going wild all night long.
Spontaneous chants of "Guns N' Roses ... Guns N' Roses" and "Axl, Axl, Axl" were deafening. Among the many highlights was Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal's guitar solo that saw the six-string maestro incorporate several traditional Mexican songs.

Guns N' Roses will be appearing this Tuesday night in Mexico City before another sellout crowd of over 21,000 fans.

The following day, GN'R travels to Australia for a series of shows in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

GUNS N' ROSES CONQUERS MEXICO, TOUR HEADS DOWN UNDER
By GunsNRoses.com

Guns N' Roses' performance at the Sports Palace in Mexico City on Tuesday night was non-stop high energy, the way rock n' roll was meant to be played. Over 21,000 screaming fans never lost their energy during the more-than-two-hour set and often sang so loud that they drowned out the band on stage.

Even after the final encore was over and the house lights went up, the crowd was still cheering for more. Mexico City was the final show in Mexico before GN'R flies overseas to Australia.

The first show in Australia takes place on Sunday, June 10, at the Burswood Dome in Perth.

OPENING NIGHT IN AUSTRALIA A MAJOR SUCCESS
By Doug Miller/GunsNRoses.com

Over 15,000 fans packed a sold-out Burswood Dome in Perth to see the first show of Guns N' Roses' 2007 run through Australia. Aussie fans showed their vocal appreciation of the massive production with deafening cheers and signs thanking the band for visiting Perth.

Axl shared a tale of an all-night tequila marathon in Mexico that brought laughter and cheers from the fans. Also bringing laughter and cheers was a cameo by Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys, who sang "Liquor and Whores" with GN'R. Openers Rose Tattoo and Sebastian Bach both performed stellar sets that went over incredibly well with the crowd.

The next stop on the Aussie tour is this Wednesday night at the Adelaide Entertainment Center.

Autographed Roses and Pistols Logo Baseball Jersey

Guns N' Roses fans, get ready to bid on several one-of-a-kind, exclusive autographed items through eBay and help a family get their lives back together. Here's bassist Tommy Stinson with the details...

ATTENTION GN'R FANS!!!!!!

I'm reaching out to you because I'm helping out with a benefit show (www.krugeraid.com] that was in Waseca, Minn., on June 9 at the Waseca Fairgrounds. It was a day-long event of music, food and family activities. On February 3, 2007, my sister-in-law, Hilary Kruger, and her family were devastated in a horrible act of violence when a stranger broke into their home and murdered her husband, Tracy, and Alec, one of her two young sons.

Hilary is still in critical condition as I write this. We are trying to raise money to get her and her son, Zak, back on their feet, as they have a long and very difficult road ahead of them. Here's a link to the story: https://www.startribune.com/467/story/978914.html

Golden Smog and Soul Asylum, as well as some very special guests, DJs, etc., played this show. If I wasn't currently on tour with GN'R, I would have played on this bill. A lot of my close friends performed, and I personally would like to thank you all. I am also helping to coordinate a couple of eBay auctions.

The auctions feature a Robin Finck Les Paul guitar that was used in concert, and hockey and baseball jerseys signed by ALL the current band members of GN'R. All proceeds go directly to Hilary.

I'm extremely grateful to my bandmates for their help and support. I would be very appreciative of your support as well. Thanks for listening. It means a lot to me and my family.

Thanks
T.S.

These are the items available on eBay:


GN'R Autographed Robin Finck Gibson Les Paul Guitar
Three GN'R Autographed Star Logo Hockey Jerseys, all separately autographed (sizes M, M, L)
One GN'R Autographed Asian Logo Baseball Jersey (size L)
One GN'R Autographed Roses and Pistols Logo Baseball Jersey (size L)
 
'Nice Boys' Don't Play Rock N' Roll

The Guns N' Roses 2007 trek through Australia ended on a very high note with two sold-out shows in Sydney at the Acer Arena this past weekend.

Over 10,000 fans attended each concert, and as an added bonus, at each show GN'R performed the Rose Tattoo classic "Nice Boys (Don't Play Rock N' Roll)" with none other than Angry Anderson.

With Axl and Angry trading off verses and singing the choruses together, it was truly a magical jam with scorching sonic energy coming off the stage -- the proverbial icing on the cake for an amazing series of concerts. To celebrate, GN'R threw an after-party at a Sydney night club called Ruby Rabbit that did not end until long after the sun came up.

The next stop on the tour is Auckland, New Zealand, with two shows -- Friday, June 29, and Saturday, June 30 -- at the Vector Arena. Guns N' Roses have one last performance Down Under on July 3 in Christchurch, New Zealand, before heading to Japan.
 
CHARITY AUCTION A GREAT SUCCESS
By Tommy Stinson

This is a brief message from Tommy Stinson to all the GN'R fans ...

I'd like to thank all the GN'R fans out there for making the eBay charity auction a huge success. The guitar and jerseys made over $13,000!!!!!!

My family is forever grateful to you all for the love and support you have given. The money made from the auction will go a long way in helping Hilary and Zack put their lives back together.

Thanks again. See you soon.

Guns N' Roses (and a typhoon) hit Japan
By Doug Miller/GunsNRoses.com

GN'R take Japan by storm

Over 17,000 fans braved a typhoon and packed into the Makuhari Messe Hall in Chiba City to witness the first concert by Guns N' Roses in Japan in five years.

From the opening strains of "Welcome to the Jungle" until the last explosion of the final encore, "Paradise City," GN'R had the sold-out crowd screaming for more. So Axl gave them what they wanted. After the sweat-drenched band had taken its final bow and was walking to the dressing room, Axl called a spontaneous audible. Axl and guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal went back to the stage and did a rare duet of "Don't Cry." Despite the nasty weather, the two-hour set was a smashing success.

Japanese fans of the band have been waiting with patience and anticipation for Guns N' Roses to return to Japan for the concert dates that had been postponed earlier this year because of an injury suffered by bassist Tommy Stinson.

There is another concert scheduled for the Makuhari Messe on Sunday night. The tour then moves to Nagoya on Tuesday, July 17, for a show at Nippon Gaishi Hall, Wednesday at Budokan Hall in Toyko, and the final show is set for Saturday, July 21, at the Osaka-Jo Hall in Osaka.

GN'R tour of Japan rolls on
By Doug Miller/GunsNRoses.com

"It's been pretty intense," says guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal
Neither a typhoon nor an earthquake that measured 6.2 on the Richter scale can stop the momentum of Guns N' Roses' 2007 tour of Japan.

With two successful concerts at the Makuhari Messe Hall in Chiba City under their belts, the tour moves on to Nagoya this Tuesday, July 17, for a show at Nippon Gaishi Hall, and then Wednesday at Budokan Hall in Toyko. The final show is set for Saturday, July 21, at the Osaka-Jo Hall in Osaka.

"Ah, man, I can't begin to put into words what a ****** ' high it's been since we got here," reflects guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal. The whole energy of Japan, I just love it. A lot of memorable moments in these shows, a lot of love goin' back and forth, ya know? It's been pretty intense. We can't thank the fans enough for it and we hope that the next three concerts are as awesome as the first two were."
