Re: Gnr To play adelaide, perth and townsville?
The exclusive arangement theory for the V8s makes a lot of sense....I bet that is the reason.
I'm just trying to work out if i can afford to go to sydney then adeliade....would be a 3000 km drive lol.
I wonder how the solo show with korn will compare to the v8s show, almost wish i'd known of the adeliade show first....
Re: Gnr To play adelaide, perth and townsville?
MONKEY! Your so lucky man! You have seen slash in top form and now you have to choose if your going to one or 2 GnR shows! I can only hope that they will play the U.S. and hit Atlanta GA and/or Birmingham AL both about 4 hr drive one way for me. And its not likely to happen.
Hit both and bring us back some reviews and pics!

Re: Gnr To play adelaide, perth and townsville?
Yeah I know, it's been the luckiest year gig wise for me, I've seen so many of my favourite bands in one year!
I really do want to go both, but it would cost me a shit-ton, cos tickets are like $150, and that's if I go alone, $300 if I pony up for a GF or something, then petrol for 3000km, plus a couple of nights on the road....really badly wanna do it but I'm going to have to have a serious look at my bank balance cos I've just blown way too much cash this year I just outright may not have the funds. Doh.
But I'm going to go to at least sydney cos I already have tix for that, so even if I sleep in the car it's going to happen! It's so awesome to have had the exposure to bands we've had here this year. And i'm pretty excited to see GNR with the current line up.
Re: Gnr To play adelaide, perth and townsville?
have they provided actual dates for these yet?
Re: Gnr To play adelaide, perth and townsville?
I got my ticket for Perth yesterday. There was a presale for Motorplex Members (which apparently somehow I am, I went drag racing there once so maybe that was how) so I got an email and bought my ticket yesterday.
Although December is a long way off in GNR time - anything could happen before then...

Re: Gnr To play adelaide, perth and townsville?
I have picked up presale tix for Adeliade 
Going to either go on my 3000km roadtrip, from Melb to Sydney for the V8 show, then Sydney to Adeliade for the Korn/GNR gig then back home.
But if i can't afford to spend that many days on the road I may have to resell one of the dates and just drive to one of the cities. The choice will then be - do i go to Sydney or Adelidade.
I was thinking about what Aussie wrote in the other thread about the V8s, and I tend to agree, will be a venue filled with a lot of non-gnr fans, and perhpas even non-music fans, who will have been drunk since lunch. Not to mention i'd assume it will have a pretty strict schedule. Lot of potential for trouble.....i'd assume the adeliade gig would be better - like with GNR and Korn in their own show I'd assume they'll have more felxibility to come late etc.
Re: Gnr To play adelaide, perth and townsville?
Well - I did suggest that when the Aussie dates were announced the selection of the venue for the Perth concert, plus the Sydney one with the V8 Supercars had the potential to attract trouble...

A LOCAL council is demanding specialist gang crime police and extra security to patrol Perth's Guns N' Roses concert in December, which will be held at the same venue as last Sunday's bikie shooting.
The call from Town of Kwinana comes a week after 20 bikies from three outlaw motorcycle gangs - the Finks, Coffin Cheaters and Club Deroes - clashed at the Kwinana Motorplex in front of children and families at the Harley Street Bike Drags.
Three Finks were wounded in the violent confrontation, including one man who reportedly had three fingers severed and another with a gunshot wound to a leg. Several Coffin Cheaters bikies also turned up at hospitals asking for treatment after the incident, police said.
The Guns N' Roses concert will be held at theMotorplex on December 11.
Yesterday Kwinana Mayor Carol Adams said council officers would be instructed to liaise with the event manager to ensure bolstered security and screening measures were in place at the concert.
She also wanted thorough searches of people entering the venue. "I think it would be prudent for police to maintain a presence in light of what has happened," Ms Adams said.
"I can only anticipate that Guns N' Roses would attract a wide range of people, but they may well be a band that also attracts a lot of bikies.
"We would certainly be asking for extra security just to ensure that, if people are attending the event for reasons other than wanting to enjoy a good band, then steps would need to be in place to ensure they are turned away from the venue.
"I will be asking our council to liaise with the event manager and the local police to seek a reassurance that an incident of this nature doesn't happen again, predominantly through upgraded security.
"(Kwinana Motorplex) have been very responsible managers and I would like to think that (last Sunday's episode) was an unfortunate one-off."
Police this week raided 20 outlaw motorcycle gang properties from Geraldton to Mandurah as part of their investigation into the brawl.
Several bikies were arrested and charged with firearms and drug offences, but police said charges were yet to be laid over the Motorplex clash.
Det-Insp Paul McMurtrie, from the Gang Crime Squad, said officers would assess intelligence and make a decision about any police presence at the Guns N' Roses gig closer to the date.
"Certainly, if you look at concerts held previously, like AC/DC, we did have a presence there because of the high number of outlaw motorcycle gang members, but that all depends on our intelligence prior to the event," he said.
Det-Insp McMurtrie said police were continuing their investigation into the Kwinana Motorplex brawl.
Guns N' Roses promoter Andrew McManus could not be contacted for comment yesterday.
