I hope Britain stays the fuck out of it, our country is so broke and military so reduced and overrun we have no business wasting any more of our resources on these thankless and fruitless conflicts.

lol - Aye theres no shortage of tacky tatoos in this country, its increased 100 fold in the last 10 years.
What makes it worse is the Scottish custom to whip their tops off the second the sun makes an appearance from behind our usual cloud cover

What makes it all even more farcical is how the band is backstage primed and ready to go at showtime, and Axl is still back in his hotel room getting a footrub, shoulder massage and hair straightened by the Lebeis clan - and sometimes not in the same country!

I was talking to a writer from rock music station recently and on the subject of the GNR late appearance fine clause at Rock In Rio he said

"Bands have to take into account that fans have paid money for a ticket and that transport at the end of a show may be limited. In my opinion Axl has lost sight of the fans, and treating them in the way he does is disrespectful. There will only be one winner, and it won't be him when the fans stop going to his shows."

If GNR are revisiting the same territories next year, I wonder how well a UK tour would sell. They are lucky the tickets for the UK tour were sold long before the shitstorm of Reading, Leeds and Dublin cause GNR's already iffy reputation was battered from pillar to post in the aftermath.

Its a reputable source, and Tom Russell doesnt bullshit, he's too old and long in the beard for such nonsense.
My take on it is, Richard was talking to a proud Scotsman about the possibility of playing in one of Scotlands legendary rock venues in January, and he was just going along with the enthusiasm saying "yeah man I hope so."

My point for posting it was it dont look much like there is any other touring plans apart from these South American shows.

Dont know what to say, its shocking. Thoughts go out to those affected.
