Only in the GN'R fan world are two consecutive tours with half-full arenas, cancelled shows, and slashed ticket prices spun into a "success".

Why don't we ask PASnow what he thinks about the success of GNR's U.S. tours in the last 10 years...

I just went back through the 2002 and 2006 tours in the US. In hindsight, I will admit they were not a "success". The 2002 tour was cut short due to the Philly fiasco and even then, their numbers were skewed by very successful Canadian shows. In 2006, too many cancelled gigs. There were multiple individual shows that did very well, but they were sprinkled in with multiple shows that underperformed expectations (even my expectations).

So, I am going to look forward as stated and hope they at least try to do it right this time in the States....not Canada, not Mexico, the good ol' US of A.

Jesus are they ever gonna play the states?

Why play to half empty stadiums? 

Though it would be WONDERFUL to get a Chinese Democracy tour in the states.... since it would be the first CD tour with CD being out in the states. 

Also because only an act of God could stop me from seeing them this time, which is just about what happened last time.

Precious time...

Half-empty stadiums... try half-empty arenas.

The Florida Marlins and Washington Nationals can draw more attendence in a stadium than Axl.
