#31 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR tour dates in Canada? » 816 weeks ago
I kind of think this is a big F.U. to the label and the Best Buy deal. Anyone else think Axl was pissed off about that whole debacle and went into hiding until he was good and ready to do stuff on his own terms? I mean, we don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but I'm sure there's a lot of red tape and legal crap that's prevented them from touring until now.

what they should do in Alberta is play at the Enmax Centrium in Red Deer. It can hold about 9000 people for a concert and it looks just like a big time arena but a mini version. Would sooth Axl's ego cause he'd still be playing to a sell out in an arena. It'd draw people from Calgary and Edmonton. Motley Crue played RedDeer a few years ago and it knocked the shit outta the shows in Calgary and Edmonton. Tragically Hip play there and Bryan Adams has also played there. Keith Urban too. No reason Axl and his band couldn't play there.
Yeah but who wants to go to Red Deer really? 
I'll go to the show at the 'dome (can't believe my first ever GNR show is going to be in dumpy Calgary). Pretty pumped about it actually. I'm sure the corporate biggies won't complain here like they did in 06... the show is a Saturday night after all. Bono, if you make it down for the show, we'll have to grab a few brews beforehand. 
Any news on the pre-sale? Are the forums doing one or anything? I know Live Nation is having one, but I think you have to pay to get access to that. Anyone think it'll be a challenge to get GA tickets if I don't get the pre-sale?
I still think I'm more excited for the Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers concert at Jack Singer this weekend though.

Q104 in Halifax is indeed (as previously rumored) making a major announcement about Guns N' Roses at 7:20 AM on Monday morning.

Stay tuned. I guess.
And in case anyone wonders it's been confirmed that it's regarding GN'R.
I have to be at work at 5am Eastern tomorrow. Anyone have any clue what time this announcement is happening in the Eastern time zone?
6:20.
I don't see it on the Q104 website. It is on the C103 website...

The show is rumored to be at the Bell Centre (formerly known as the Molson Centre), in Montreal, Quebec, on January 27.
Tickets are rumored to go on sale October 24 (Metal Sludge).
I think there's more than one, but the date makes sense, Habs are out of town that night.
Metalsludge is metalsludge though. My thinking is that the only logic they used to get that date is that George Gillett (owner of GEG) used to own the Canadiens and had a share in the Bell Centre. I
still think they're doing an Eastern Canadian tour. What's really interesting is that Motley Crue is rumoured out there as well, so we'll see if they end up going together.

Q104 in Halifax is reporting they'll be announcing a concert Monday morning. Speculation on their board is that it's GNR. http://www.q104forums.com/viewtopic.php … rt=10#p354
C103 in Moncton has also picked up the rumour: http://www.c103.com/concerts.asp?id=10
I'm thinking it's going to be a tour of the Maritimes.

Just as an FYI, that banner is available in English.... check this link:

GEG... if I'm not mistaken, that's the same site that announced the shows in 2006. It's a legitimate site. That's where I bought my Dylan tickets a few years ago. It's a promoter for eastern Canada (Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia, and some Newfoundland shows). Actually, it's a group owned by former Montreal Canadiens American owner George Gillett.
In any event, if there's a show in Calgary, I guess I'm obligated to go.

I've never lived in either place, but if you like winter sports, they've got the olympics in February. That and lots and lots of drugs.
