Guns N' Roses Announce NYC Dates, European Tour
Quanah Humphreys reports:
After Guns N' Roses' spectacular resurrection and flame-out in 2002, just about everyone wrote off the prospect of ever seeing Axl Rose and GN'R 2.0 perform live again.
Smart money says to keep your fingers crossed, but Guns N' Roses have announced two May dates at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom, as well as a summer European tour. Though notoriously temperamental (which is a polite way of saying "I wouldn't trust him with my kittens") Axl Rose scheduling a tour just might just mean it's time to bust out the oversized hockey jerseys and skrink-wrapped biker shorts.
Set lists are expected to pull from the GN'R back catalog as well as Chinese Democracy, the mythical-as-a-unicorn follow-up to 1993's The Spaghetti Incident?. 32 songs have allegedly been recorded for that album, a taste of which Rose has suggested may appear on...the soundtrack to The Da Vinci Code movie. Tom Hanks with a mullet, Axl Rose with dreadlocks--makes sense.
A few tracks from the multi-million dollar project were leaked in February, which could potentially be seen as Rose testing the waters before wading into the world at large. Post-It for Axl: If people are still writing about you and your goof-tacular foibles at this point, it means, yes, we are still clamoring for, or at least morbidly curious about, new GN'R material. So quit with the shut-in shtick and get to the stadium-rocking. Sheesh.
