Guns N’ Roses are touring the U.S. this fall starting on October 28th. All of the dates are not listed yet, but for now, the tour goes through the South and Midwest. It has been three years since the long awaited new Guns N’ Roses album Chinese Democracy was released. I doubt anyone is still listening to that album, but I’m sure classic GNR is still played a lot, making this concert semi-relevant. But there is absolutely no chance of Slash appearing on this tour (although that would be amazing, his solo album and tour were great) because of the feud between Axl and Slash. It is sad since they ended on such a bad note, but whatever, Slash was successful independently. I’m not going to even post a link to buy Chinese Democracy because for me, looking back at the album now, only like three songs were memorable. Well, only three songs were kept on my iTunes. Um back to the tour
According to the group, they played 61 concerts in more than 30 countries last year, performing to a total of more than 1 million fans across South America, Canada, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
GNR’s current lineup consists of Rose, bassist Tommy Stinson (of the Replacements), drummer Frank Ferrer (of Psychedelic Furs offshoot Love Spit Love), keyboardist Chris Pitman, and three guitarists: DJ Ashba, Richard Fortus, and Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal.
