How does a band anoucing dates for Janurary mean they have a good chance of playing a festival 8 MONTHS later

[beLIEveR]

Heck, even if GnR are announced for Reading and Leeds, I'd still only consider the chances of them actually playing as "a possibility".

Well Canada is a long way from England

I can't see them booking them for Reading/Leeds. When they played Leeds in 02 they hadn't played in this country for about 10 years and even casual observers would be intrigued by what the new line up and material would be like.

Now the album has been released and alot of people have seen them play the excitement and interest over the band is quite low.

I'd still have them over Green Day anytime.

It's as much Guns N Roses as Ian Brown is The Stone Roses...

[Budweiser]

Old GnR yes, new GnR no..

[Sparticus]

no thanks. i'm not even arsed it's axl & friends, more a case that they are a liability, and liabilities shouldn't be considered when the festival is going to cost two ton next year. Have seen a lot of the 80's metal "legends", only metallica and faith no more proved that they weren't past it and still had something to offer the music world.

plz no!

I'd like to see Slash's new band with Dave Grohl more.

I read that Slash also asked Grohl to drum on the tour - knowing how much Grohl loves drumming I suspect he'll agree. although I can't find a link to anything to back this up - maybe I dreamt it?

The band will then embark on a South American tour between March 10 and April 10, 2010 (exact dates to be determined).
