Idiot woman ? Well I doubt it as she's playing with gnr and you aren't and the lads seem to like her in the band, so idiot woman I don't think so.

Seriously stop embarrasing yourself on here with your nonsence.

All he did was call you out on a post which screamed blatant sexism

Now get that idiot woman playing the keys off the stage and twill be grand.

I mean, god forbid a female musician dare make a living playing keys and providing backing vocals in a partly reunited Guns N' Roses in 2016.

I've just read on Blabbermouth that there's a lack of sales. Might just be one of those things like location which is what they're saying but maybe more promotion would help?I can't see a new tune being released until after this tour. Also I wonder if Duff/Slash will play one of their solo tunes from time to time. I like Tommy Stinson's tune 'Motivation'.

I read that Blabbermouth article and to honest I don't think it knows what it's trying to say. It says there are poor sales but then says 17 out of the 25 dates are sold out or almost sold out and that the tour will achieve 90% capacity which is pretty good.

OK, the KC gig had a low turnout but the other one they mention (Chicago) was the second night there and was in a f*&king NFL stadium!

Great for Adler. He needs it more than any of the others.
Just reading Duff's autobiography now too. Crazy stuff

Duff's book is easily the best.. Also for those who have Snapchat, the band launched their own one recently..

One of the best rock biographies I've read. It was so depressing when he was talking about his alcohol and drug abuse, the way he described it you could almost feel it.

Izzy seems to have been a right dirt bag as a teen. Lucky he was as talented as he is or he would be doing a long stretch in jail at the moment (or dead) .

Has anyone read Duff's other book, How To Be A Man: (and other Illusions)

Apologies if this has already been posted, but there's a great interview from Brain's time in Guns. Around 1 hour 10 in to it.

Europe late spring/summer 2017 I'm guessing

They will hardly do a Euro tour in December??? I'd accept if an Irish date was included lol

I think there doing Asia/Oceania Jan/Feb 2017

Who knows what happens after the South American gigs, probably go on hiatus til the new year, Slash probably regroups Myles & The Conspirators to do album #3..

They'll probably be in demand for festival season, and Download Festival usually reveal the first headliner in October/November.

Much like previous years with GN'R, it's wait and see.

gnfnrhead

I'd bet on a summer tour for Europe. Download and Rock Am Ring are both typically in June so I bet they'll be getting nice offers to do both. A quick look on Wikipedia has dozens of rock festivals with a lot of them in June or July all across Europe. Would be pretty dumb of them not to wait until the Summer at this stage.

Saw them last night in Toronto - I had never seen Axl's guns n roses or Velvet Revolver, never seen any of them live.

My god! It was the most amazing thing I think I have ever seen. Forked out $500 for the pit so was right there at the front. It actually took me about 3 songs before I started to take stuff in, I was just so sort of star struck I guess gawking at them.

Axl's voice was just mind-blowing, band were excellent as I expected and then the pyrotechnics added another layer to it.

Sort of depressed today because any gigs I go to from now on will be compared to this. I didn't even leave to the bar or bathroom once - I just did not want to miss 1 second of the action.
