Too bad it's not true as it would create a much better atmosphere if there is less than 7000 fans in an arena. What's the capacity at The Palace?
23,000 for end-stage concerts.
Jesus Christ that turn out sucks if true. Fuck that's terrible for a city like Detroit.
Is it the economy possibly? Or just a lack of interest?
Probably a little of both but leaning more towards lack of interest. Foo Fighters practically sold out the arena when I saw them there in September on a weekday. I wanted to go tonight but end of the semester projects, two jobs and the fact that the Palace is quite a hike if you live south of Detroit kept me from going this time around...

Lack of interest is my guess. In a 23 000 seat venue they would've done right by moving the stage set up to mid court. As much as the world hates Nickelback they'd have sold that out I bet. Just tells ya how little the the States cares about this version of Gn'R. Or maybe a better way to put it is this just shows how far under the radar this Gn'R flys. Theres' really nothing for the public to grab onto. I's nto the originla and CD didn't sett he world on fire so....
What have the average crowd sizes been on this tour?
As well recieved as the tour has been from those in attendence they serioulsy need to get this tour in the books and hit the fucking studio for real.

Palace Concert goers were sent an email that said:
During its first U.S. tour in five years, Guns N' Roses will perform an intimate small theatre configuration show at The Palace tomorrow evening.
If the Palace follows other venue protocol, this means the stage was moved from the end stage to the midcourt position. In addition, one of the Bar members has texted back that the upper levels were curtained off.
So I beg to differ with Russ.

Well see it depends. That's not exactly true.
Some cities have seen HUGE turnouts. South American-enthusized, 90% capacity type crowds.
Depends on the area. Florida gave GN'R 2009-11 a big warm welcome for the tour. I remember Dallas & Chicago also having equally as big and happy crowds.
Then here comes some of these smaller shows. At this point I think it's obvious that cancellation the other day was due to lack of ticket sales, now Detroit has a small turnout.
I think certain region areas have lots of interest. Others not so much. Weekend shows seem to do ALOT better.
Just depends
I do agree a new album/new single is NEEDED NOW!!!!
