**Update – November 1st 2012 – Appetite for Democracy Begins & Las
Vegas Commissioner Calls Ad For GUNS N’ ROSES Concerts ‘Inappropriate’ !**
Last night saw Guns N’ Roses kick off their 12 date Las Vegas run at the Hard Rock Hotel. The show is part of their Appetite for Democracy residency that lasts until Nov. 24th and sees the band playing on an all new stage, covering hits from their entire back catalogue. The first set-list was much the same as fans have seen them play on their recent tours but promises have been made to shake things up from show to show. The next gig takes place tomorrow.
In other news, Las Vegas county commissioner Mary Beth Scow has deemed the advertisement for the show (based on the original Appetite for Destruction cover) Inappropriate. Fans of the movie Casiono will know what county commissioners are like and will understand. Everyone else, you should really watch it – De Niro bitches!
“I hadn’t seen the advertising before the media event,” she told the Sun. “It’s clearly inappropriate. Maybe it’s the risk of doing business with a rock band, but I guess we’ll have some remorse over this decision. It’s a lesson learned.”
The advertisements have been plastered all over Las Vegas, appearing on taxi cabs, walls, buses, billboards…etc, etc. To see some samples – click here.

Guns N’ Roses have confirmed a date at St. Jakobshalle, Basel for the 27th of June. The venue holds about 9,000 people and was made famous by inspiring Bob Dylan to begin his ‘Never ending tour’, which anyone that’s ever seen Bob Dylan will know is not necessarily a good thing.

**Update – February 13th2012 – Guns N’ Roses ‘Up Close and Personal’, 2 Dates In**
Guns N’ Roses are two dates into their ‘Up Close and Personal’ US tour. The band are playing seven American shows in much smaller venues than you’d normally see them in an effort to reconnect with fans and the band’s roots. So far the group have performed two of the three New York shows with the tour starting in Manhattan’s Roseland Ballroom before moving on to Terminal 5, which is located in Hell’s Kitchen. Both venues have an approx. capacity of 3,000. Next stop will be the show everyone’s been waiting for, a return to ‘The Ritz’ (1,500 capacity – awesome) where the band recorded their famous ‘Guns N’ Roses Live At The Ritz concert in 1988. The venue has since returned to its original name, Webster Hall but in honour of Gun’s return, they’re renaming it for one night.
So far the sets have been in the range of two hours and forty minutes with a selection of songs to please any fan (aside from ‘Chinese Democracy’ no longer appearing on the set – Boo urns!). With songs, solo’s and jams – the set features roughly 29 different moments. Standouts include ‘Estranged’, ‘Don’t Cry’, ‘Civil War’, ‘This I Love’, ‘Rocket Queen’ and ‘Better’. Full dates for the remaining shows can be seen below and on Guns N’ Roses official website – www.gunsnroses.com

***UPDATED – 30/11/2010 – Guns N’ Roses: TO TOUR USA IN 2011? ***
Rumours are flying high that Guns N’ Roses will be touring the US in the spring of 2011 with the possibility of a new album (or remix album with a DVD) and…(yes, there’s more :)) some new material being played at the shows. Whether or not the new songs will be played at the bands December shows is unclear but rumours generally have some basis in the Guns business (trying our best not to shit a brick laughing at that last comment).
According to Guns N Roses News, a source, the same that leaked the lyrics to sorry a year before they were released has divulged the following information.
“From what I’ve heard through some of my band contacts, 2011 should be a very cool year for the fans. Axl really wants to get Chinese Democracy’s follow-up out there, they’d like to tour the US (unfortunately lawsuits may prevent them), and we may even get that remix CD album bundled with an official DVD release that they’re working on.
Also, don’t be surprised if you hear a previously unreleased song or 2 played live for the first time. From what I hear, Axl is wanting to test the waters. Keep your fingers crossed that it is either “Forgotten” or Atlas Shrugged”. Whatever it is, you can be sure that it will be sweeeeeeeet!”
So, if anything more comes about this, we should be in for a fun filled Guns N’ Roses 2011. It’s too soon and too little for breath holding but where there’s light..etc. When we hear more, we’ll tell ye!
***UPDATED – 22/10/2010 – Guns N’ Roses Announce Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates December Show***
No word on Israel yet (thank-god!) but Guns N’ Roses have announced a show in the United Arab Emirates capital, Abu Dhabi!. Penciled in for December 16th, the date follows Guns Australian shows earlier in the month. For a full list of confirmed 2010 dates, please see below.
Dec. 1st: Guns N’ Roses live in Townsville, QLD, Australia
Dec. 4th: Guns N’ Roses live in Sydney, NSW, Australia
Dec. 7th: Guns N’ Roses live in Adelaide, SA, Australia
Dec. 11th: Guns N’ Roses live in Perth, WA, Australia
Dec. 16th: Guns N’ Roses live in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
***UPDATED – 14/10/2010 – DUFF McKAGAN PLAYS WITH GUNS N’ ROSES IN LONDON*** Can barely believe it myself folks but original Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan got up on stage with the band tonight to play You Could Be Mine, Lies favourite Nice Boys, Knockin’ On Heavens Door (featuring Duff on Guitar) and Patience (featuring Duff on Tambourine) at the second sold out night in London’s O2 Arena.
Apparently Axl Rose announced “There Was This Guy At The End Of My Hallway Playing All This Loud Music & Shit. Who The Fuck? Oh! It’s Duff!”. So it seems Mr. McKagan was staying at the same hotel as Axl and the two decided on giving their UK fans a little treat.
This is mega for anyone underestimating the significance. It’s the first time since 93 that Duff and Axl have played together live and might signal an end to the bitterness and rivalry at last. No-ones calling for a reunion, but it would be nice if those guys could patch things up. They did great work together and should get along. Fair play to both Axl and Duff tonight and to Tommy and the rest of the guys for standing back and letting the crowd lap it up. Christ I’d give almost anything to have been there!
Duff ain’t the only X-guns to take the stage with the new line-up. Original guitarist Izzy Stradlin played several shows with Guns in 2006.

***UPDATED – 13/10/2010 – GUNS N’ ROSES Play London O2 Arena Tonight*** Tickets There wishes Guns the best of luck tonight when they return to the UK for the first time since the whole Reading / Leeds thing. This side of Europe mistreated rock royalty in August and early September, so hopefully things will go smoothly on this leg of the tour and the UK will get to see the band in full blazing glory.
***UPDATED – 10/10/2010 – GUNS N’ ROSES to perform in Israel?***According to YNetNews, Guns N’ Roses are likely to play 2 shows in Israel this December.
The dates are slated to take place on the 18th and 19th. No city, venue or official confirmation has been announced as of yet but rumours seem to be king for this tour and Guns are stopping at every port in the sea (aside from the one over yonder). These shows follow the Australian ones taking place in Early December.
On a personal note, Tickets There isn’t delighted to see Guns break the boycott of Israel that many others have signed up to but then again, they’re musicians, not politicians. Hopefully the nukes won’t drop on The Knesset until after Guns finish up their show.
***UPDATED – 04/09/2010 – GUNS N’ ROSES ROME SHOW UNDER-WAY*** Several Twitters, forums and Mr. Del James have confirmed Guns are on-stage in Rome!!!!

***UPDATED – 29/08/2010 – GUNS N’ ROSES: AXL CONFIRMS LEEDS APPEARANCE *** Good news Leeds fans, Axl Rose has updated his twitter account to confirm the band will be playing Leeds tonight and they’re in negotiations to ensure that fans attending the show get their moneys worth.
He has also stated that fans deserve an apology from the Reading organizers, or to not mis-quote the legend “from those responsible” for ‘this nonsense’ (the way the last show was cut short). See both tweets below,
“We r in constant talks to ensure the fans attending Leeds get what they paid for w/out undue bureaucratic interference. We thank you for your understanding. Peace!! ”
“In regard to Reading we feel at the very least the fans deserve an apology from those responsible for the nonsense. We’d also like to thank the fans for being so great, singing along n’ not tearing the place apart!!”
These updates will come as a sense of relief to the thousands of fans at Leeds today hoping to see Guns N’ Roses close the festival tonight.
***UPDATED – 28/08/2010 – GUNS N’ ROSES: LEEDS FESTIVAL APPEARANCE STILL GOING AHEAD DESPITE AXL’s SPEECH ***Photo Taken From BBC.co.UK!
Well folks, if the word of NME and the Reading/Leeds organizers is anything to go by, Guns N’ Roses will still play their headlining slot tomorrow.
So far, none of the band has commented on Axl’s speech at last nights Reading show but Guitarist DJ Ashba has posted a twitter message branding the organizer, Melvin Benn a “money grubbing prick” and rightly pointed out that Melvin knows guns n roses show and if he wasn’t prepared to take them as they come, he shouldn’t have booked them.
We’ll post an update as soon as we hear it.
***UPDATED – 28/08/2010 – GUNS N’ ROSES: LEEDS FESTIVAL APPEARANCE CANCELLED?*** Photo Taken From BBC.co.UK!
Not many reports about this so far, but Tickets There was just watching a video of Axl speaking to the crowd at Reading last night after the bands sound had been cut by festival organizers and Axl clearly says (0.21 seconds in)
“…so unfortunately due to tonight, WE WILL NOT BE AT LEEDS”
This was followed by the crowd chanting ‘Fuck You Reading‘. No-one from Leeds, Reading or Guns N’ Roses has commented on Axl’s speech so far leaving things very much up in the air for tomorrows headlining appearance. Watch the video below.
Good news for fans around Europe, Axl Rose has updated his twitter account for the first time in three months to announce,
‘Bkstage at Reading. Tour’s ON! Our apologies 4 any inconvenience. Peace!‘
He has also removed the previous hacked comment about the tour cancellation.
***UPDATED – 28/08/2010 – GUNS N’ ROSES: READING FESTIVAL ENDS***
Well folks – I’m sorry. Went for after work pint…ended up as cocktails, pints and shots and low n behold, a full blown session but, I was watching GN’R updates the whole time and finally it’s 100% official – Guns N’ Fucking Roses are in Europe!!!!
Tonight,the Guns played Reading and in typical, Rock ‘N’ Roll fashion, they turned up late, giving a two finger salute to the so called ‘11.30pm’ curfew bullshit. Axl and co played until 00:00 and the pulled was literally pulled. Not liking this, the band did a sit in with the crowd chanting ‘Let Them Play‘ when finally, drummer Frank Ferrer led the crowd into a massive sing along for Paradise City with Axl-The Legend-Rose signing vocals through a megaphone!
There were reports that due to the band arriving an hour late on stage (an hour, BIG FUCKING DEAL!!), the crowd turned pretty hostile but in all fairness, people are sacks and half the audience is an NME crowd out for blood. Pass no heed and look at the positive notes. The Reading audience wouldn’t know rock N Rill if it jumped up and beat the living hell out of them!
No riots, no cancellation, no no-shows, Guns N’ Roses played, time for Reading to appreciate that. Their set was as follows,
Chinese Democracy’
‘Welcome To The Jungle’
‘It’s So Easy’
‘Mr. Brownstone’
‘Sorry’
‘Richard Fortus Guitar Solo’
‘Live And Let Die’
‘This I Love’
‘Rocket Queen’
‘Dizzy Reed Piano Solo’
‘Street Of Dreams’
‘You Could Be Mine’
‘DJ Ashba Guitar Solo’
‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’
‘Instrumental Jam’
‘Axl Rose Piano Solo’
‘November Rain’
‘Night Train’

***UPDATED – 27/08/2010 – GUNS N’ ROSES: More Australian Shows Announced?***
Well, rumour seems to be fact rather than fiction these days in the Guns N’ Roses camp so an announcment from AMP – Andrew McManus Productions that GN’R are set to play two extra dates in Australia with KoRn as special guests may come true.
In a posting on AMP Presents Official Website, they’ve announced Guns and KoRn will play shows in Townsville (December 1st) and Adelaide (December 7th). Tickets go on sale September 7th.
These shows will happen around Guns already confirmed show at the Sydney 500 V8 Supercars street race on December 4th. No official confirmation has come from Official Facebook Page but we’ll let ye know when it does.
***UPDATED – 25/08/2010 – GUNS N’ ROSES: 2nd London Date Official*** Yep it’s true, Guns N’ Roses have confirmed a second date at London’s O2 Arena on October 14th on their Official Facebook Page. Sebastian Bach of Skid Row is set to support the band on all October UK dates.
The band are currently in the UK preparing for their European tour which kicks off at the Reading Festival this Friday. Twitter updates from several band members have confirmed their safe arrival and pre-tour tour activities starting. To follow the guys, check out a list we made on Twitter that follows most of the main GN’R players,
By the looks of things, CD.com also have word there’ll be another date announced for Oct.29th, although there’s no country mentioned. Also, HTGTH have just posted on Twitter that Sebastian Bach will support GN’R on their October UK Tour. This would tie in with a recent re-tweet on SB’s Twitter.
***UPDATED – 19/08/2010 – GUNS N’ ROSES TOUR STILL ON***
Well folks, looks like every things A-ok! Guns N’ Roses guitarist Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal has confirmed on his Facebook Page that the band are leaving for the U.K. on Monday.
“Leaving for the UK on Monday, for the GNR TOUR. NOT quitting GNR, don’t listen
to any trolls and dweebs pretending they have a clue.”
Once we hear they’ve arrived, we’ll let you know!
***UPDATED – 16/08/2010 – (Even More official) AXL ROSE TWITTER ACCOUNT WAS HACKED***
More reports are flooding in that this whole thing is the result of some prick arse hacker. Official sources are still contacting the world to confirm this was a hack but no-ones updated the official GN’R Facebook or websites yet and no band members have commented. Some of the sources that have confirmed this was a hack are as follows,
***UPDATED – 16/08/2010 – (Almost official) AXL ROSE TWITTER ACCOUNT WAS HACKED***
News that will come as a relief to thousands, it appears Official sources are desperatly trying to contact all press and booking agents to inform them the scheduled Guns N’ Roses dates are not cancelled and Axl Roses Twitter account has been hacked.
***UPDATED – 16/08/2010 – ALL GUNS N’ ROSES TOUR DATES CANCELLED?***
According to Axl Rose’s Twitter Account – “All upcoming Guns N’ Roses dates are officially cancelled”.
Is this true? Tickets There is hoping not. All other entries were made via IPhone and this one has been made via MobileWeb so with any luck it’s a hacker (bastard if it is).No official announcment has come from MCD or the Guns N’ Roses camp so stay tunned for updates as we have them.
TT has fingers crossed left right andf centre that this is a hack. Belfast and Dublin were so close :(.

** UPDATED -04/ 04 / 2010 **
The owner of Slane Castle in Ireland has confirmed there will be No Slane Festival in 2010 as they were unable to secure an appropriate headliner. This means the guessing game continues for a Guns N’ Roses show in Ireland in 2010. A date in the RDS or O2 Arena now seems likely for either June or August.

** Original Post **
I’m sure we’re all very familiar with the long history Guns N’ Roses have of bogus announcements. Well, this might be another one for the pile but word on the net is Guns N’ Roses will tour in 2010. Not only that but a string of Asian and Canadian dates have already been announced.
A few weeks ago, four concerts were announced in Taipei, Seoul, Osaka and Tokyo. Without any official confirmation it seemed these shows, like the Indian ones reported earlier this year were bullshit. Now, thirteen more dates have been announced starting in January 2010 and ending in early February with many, many more expected to be announced in the coming weeks and throughout 2010.
Axl Rose, the only remaining member of the original Guns line-up, has taken some serious flogging over the last few years but Tickets There hopes the band make the comeback his loyal fans all hope they do. If he doesn’t??? Changes nothing. Axl Roses is a fucking legend. Deal with it, Boi!!

The line-up will perform six shows in total before GN’R head off to shows in Malaysia, Abu Dhabi and North America.
