AXL ROSE REALLY IS PLANNING MORE CANADIAN RIOTS
Monday, October 19th, 2009 at 1:00pm by Axl RosenbergSo not only is Rose and whatever four to sixty-two musicians he’s calling “Guns N’ Roses” these days really returning to wreak more havoc upon Canada, but it looks like one of the tour stops will be Montreal.
Anyone remember what happened the last time GN’R played Montreal?
The above news report is completely correct, of course. The rioting was caused by the injuries sustained by James Hatfield (NOT Hetfield), and not because after Hatfield sustained said injuries, Axl Rose failed to play a complete show. Sure sure.
Anyway, dates after the jump. Here Today… Gone to Hell, which is about as close to an official fan site as GN’R has these days, says the band currently consists of guitarists Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Dj Ashba, and Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, drummer Frank Ferrer, and keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman. Hey, some of those dudes have actually played on a Guns N’ Rose record!

If this comes to the U.S., my boner and I will both be attending.
If this comes to the U.S i will be attending with my cialis induced boner.
When this comes to Toronto, my boner may be attending, but I will not be…
Apparently General Motors Place (Vancouver) was contacted, but declined to allow Axl ‘n Roses to scheduled a gig. My source has proven reliable in the past, so I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of this information. I’m surprised the Montreal gig is set, but hey – ‘dem ‘dar crazy froggies are, well…crazy.
In somewhat related thoughts: Back in the day, Le’ Spectrum was a madhouse of metal mayhem. Who knows, it probably still is. I’ve not been there in many years.
Hey, don’t call us frogs, you beaver…
Q: What do you get when a beaver impregnates a frog?
A: a resident of Quebec!
AHHHHAHAHA! Yeah, I know. heh heh. But really – some of the best shows I have seen were in Montreal. Good times, man.
No Victoria or even Vancouver, but FOUR shows in Ontario? Bullshit, says I
Because people actually live in ON.
I wonder who the opening act for this one will be. Kinda tempted to see the Hamilton date
Man I would have liked to be there. My town, too
