Japanese Dates Are Looking More Legit Now

Universal Music Japan has confirmed the 2 Guns N' Roses dates in Japan (December 16 at the Osaka Dome and December 18 at the Tokyo Dome).

These will be Guns' first shows since the release of Chinese Democracy last November.

The last time Guns N' Roses performed live was on July 21, 2007 in Osaka.



Hayashi International Promotions (HIP) has set-up an English-language website to promote the pair of shows.

Other rumored dates include December 11 in Taiwan, and a stop in South Korea.

Brooks Brothers Herald (BBH) lists the Taiwan date on its website, but only the Japanese dates have been confirmed by the band's record company.


A rumored date in India has been confirmed as false.

"Troy" Shoots Down India Rumors

via Blabbermouth

White Lion drummer Troy Patrick Farrell has shot down reports that Guns N'Roses will perform in India in November. He says in a statement, "The dates in India were to be with Dizzy Reed, Eric Dover and myself as well as Gilby Clarke's bassist Muddy Stardust. Those dates moved to October (NOT NOVEMBER and not in the city of Bengaluru) and Dizzy Reed CANNOT and WILL NOT be in India for any event as far as I am aware of. At least not any event involving me. (Kids, don't try to read into that, but I simply don't speak for GN'R in any way, shape or form)."

He adds, "This rumor is the result of an overzealous promoter that mixed up information. I have spoken my direct contacts in India to confirm that they in no way shape or form alluded to the fact that Axl or any version of GN'R would perform in India.

Irving Azoff is their manager and all GN'R-related events go through him, not me.

I don't know who Rhapsody Inc. is, nor do I know or have ever been in contact directly with Chromosome Production Pvt. Ltd.

I love GN'R rumors as much as the next one, just not one that can somehow through a few degrees of separation involve me.

If all goes as planned, I will be in India on September 30 and October 3 and the lineup will be confirmed when it comes from my mouth, no one else's.

If Guns is playing in India at any time, I have nothing to do with it in any degree.

I will now go back to my life of 'who the fuck is Troy?'"

The Asian Age: GN'R to Perform in India

Guns N’ Roses are playing in India. Pinch yourself, because this isn’t a dream! After decades of speculation and rumours about coming to India, the American rock band will perform in Bengaluru on November 7 at the Palace Grounds.

Confirming this news, Raj Sinha, director of Rhapsody Inc, the company that is organising the concert said, "Yes, it is true that we are bringing Guns N’ Roses to India. As of now I can tell you that the Bengaluru concert has been confirmed. We’re still in talks with people in Mumbai and Delhi, so let’s hope that works out. However, there is a good chance we can take the band to Shillong as well.

The band was supposed to have played there on September 19, but for some reason it didn’t work out."

Dubbed as Axl and Friends, the band has seen major transformation over the years and the only founding member to be a part of the current lineup is vocalist Axl Rose.

While other famous members like Slash, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan left the band citing various differences, Axl remained. The band finally released the album Chinese Democracy with newer members in 2008. The album was in the making for around 15 years and was much awaited, though it received a timid response.

"I can confirm that Axl Rose and Dizzy Reed will be there. DJ Ashba, their latest entrant, will be there. There will also be a person called Troy and two other members," said Sinha.

Rhapsody Inc. is a venture of Chromosome Production Pvt Ltd, a company that has organised concerts of musicians like AR Rahman and Jagjit Singh. This is the company’s first international venture. Let’s hope for all our sakes, this one really works out.
