DevO Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 From here: http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/generalarticlesynopsfullart.aspx?csid1=137&csid2=844&fid1=41907Gun N’ Roses Announce Canadian Tour 10/19/2009 By Brock ThiessenBy the looks of things, Gun N’ Roses will finally come out of hiding and mark their return to the public sphere with a Canadian tour. According to Ticketmaster’s listings and a press release from promoters Live Nation, Axl Rose and co. will be playing a string of dates north of the border come January, including stops in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg. The tour is apparently being dubbed the “Chinese Democracy World Tour,†though so far the North American dates appear to be limited to Canada. The live dates would mark Guns N’ Roses’ first in North America in support of their infamous Chinese Democracy album, and would follow a mini-tour in Asia later this year . In typical G N’ R fashion, the band have yet to confirm the dates on their website. Nevertheless, all signs point to this tour being official, with tickets going on sale later this week. Guns N’ Roses Canadian tour dates, as confirmed by Live Nation: 1/13 Winnipeg, MB - MTS Centre1/16 Calgary, AB - Pengrowth Saddledome 1/17 Edmonton, AB - Rexall Place1/19 Saskatoon, SK - Credit Union Centre1/20 Regina, SK - Brandt Centre1/24 Hamilton, ON - January 241/25 London, ON - John Labatt Centre1/27 Montreal, PQ - Bell Centre
1/28 Toronto, ON - Air Canada Centre1/31 Ottawa, ON - Scotiabank Place
2/1 Quebec City, QC - Colisee Pepsi
2/3 Moncton, NB - Moncton Coliseum
2/4 Halifax, NS - Metro Centre________________________________________Finally a return to the Hammer! My first concert ever was GNR at Copps in 1994 I believe.. Maybe 93. Brian May Band opened. Awesome show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I kinda want to go! don't tell anyone though - GnR are so uncool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) I'd love to go to this if Axl could guarantee the band would start on time. Last time they played Ottawa, Axl was still in TO as of about 10:30 PM. That's enough to make me swear off this band's live performances.

Tenenbaum Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 What kind of cross-continental tour of Canada excludes Vancouver?kind of bummed I won't be able to witness Axl's latest gong-show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Tenenbaum - it couldn't be any better than the Guess Who in 2002 could it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yep, Vancouver is conspicuously absent from the list. Could be because of the riot when they pulled a no-show there in 2002? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenenbaum Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Jaydog: to this day I still hold that Guess Who concert close to my heart. What a fluke (floor seats) and good time that was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I too would like to see Axl's latest gong show (I kinda liked some of the songs off of Chinese democracy to be honest) but like Ollie, I'll be pissed if he pulls a no show. On the other hand, I might be slightly flattered. Hmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ersh Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 from cp24...The band -- which now includes Axl Rose, Frank Ferrer, Tommy Stinson, Richard Fortus, Ron (Bumblefoot) Thal, Dizzy Reed, Chris Pitman and Dj Ashba -- is scheduled to begin rehearsals in Los Angeles shortly, according to a release from Live Nation. I'd be reeeeal surpised if they/Axl fills any of those rooms. Chinese Demorcracy couldn't have been any more of a flop (although I like it), and I think Axl has successfully convinced the world that he's a complete idiot.Maybe I'm just jealous because I won't be here to see any of those shows...

Pablo Sanchez Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Grade 7 me will hate 30-something me if I miss this when it's 5 minutes from home.Saw this circus last time they toured and honestly, grade 7 you is better left unscathed by the total destruction of whatever was awesome about GNR. Honestly... so fucking bad. I mean Axl can still sing, and he is entertaining, but seriously... the band is a really, really bad parody of what was one of the greatest rock bands ever.

peipunk Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I mean Axl can still sing, Axl could sing?!?!?!? I remember a story my buddy John Parker told me one time after he heard GnR open for Iron Maiden in Moncton. He said Axl's voice was soooooo bad live that he said to himself "well there's one band thats going NOWHERE". This was right about the time Appetite was being released.

Burnt Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 the band is a really, really bad parody of what was one of the greatest rock bands ever.I'll agree about that. This is not GNR, this is an Axl solo project. My GNR contains Slash, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, Izzy Stradlin and Axl.Personally I tried to listen to Chinese Democracy twice but couldn't even get all the way through either time.
