Read this "press release carefully: It claims the band is in "top form" but the tour does not start until Oct. 20. So how in the hell do they know they will be in "top form" if they never played? Also, the article claims that concert goers "were not let down" by the set list? How were we not let down? We don't know what the set list is?!?!

In all seriousness, the G-n-R management is trying to hype what will likely be a B.S. tour by a half assed band that will play to half fillled arenas.

Dude, the press release is talking about the warm-up shows GN'R played earlier this month and also the European tour earlier this year. That's why they can say concert goers "were not let down," and also that the band are in "top form." From what I've seen, most of the European tour reviews have been positive, so I wouldn't call the press release B.S.

yeah, without Slash, there's no point. granted i'd go if Buckethead was still with them cause he's one of my favorite guitarists, but Axl is such an unstable bastard that he cant keep anybody around him for very long
