Guns N’ Roses Reunion Tour Slated For 2016
Legendary rock giants Guns N’ Roses are ”days away” from announcing a world reunion tour next year, Dish Nation is exclusively reporting.
Guitarist Slash has confirmed that he and lead singer Axl Rose have reconciled after almost a decade of arguments and now Los Angeles music insiders close to the band say they have tentatively agreed to perform together again in 2016.
It’s expected that they will headline several festivals across Europe and the United States before heading out on a staggered world tour that will coincide with their 30th anniversary.
“Slash and Axl have verbally agreed to get things together again and reform the original band. The live shows is where they can show the world what they had and also make the greatest earnings,” a music insider exclusively told Dish.
“Promoters are quietly working away to land opportunities. Details of the reunion are expected to leak out in the next few days. Everyone is expecting huge demand for tickets, but the boys are very humble and are not sure what to expect.”
Reports have recently come out saying that the band has been offered gigs in Australia, Sweden and Portugal — although reps for the band have refused to comment.
Last month a friend close to Slash confirmed that he and Axl are now talking again and a comeback tour is close to being revealed.
Marketing experts say that the American band are on course to coin in a whopping $100 million thanks to ticket sales, CD revenue, licensing and merchandising.
“I know that he and Axl talking again is a really good sign, because we all grew up loving Guns N’ Roses. I mean I am an LA kid and I remember when they were playing the Sunset Strip,” Slash’s close friend John Murdy told the UK’s Mirror.
“It is so cool to see these guys back when they have been around so long.”
Guns N’ Roses keyboard player Dizzy Reed recently hinted a band comeback is close, too.
“With GNR, timelines don’t really apply,” Dizzy told Loudwire.
“And that’s fine, things will come out when they’re ready and we’ll go on tour when we’re ready…”
Even Slash, who refused to speak with Axl, has painted the singer in a more positive light.
“There’s no animosity. Over time we all just got sick and tired of the black cloud,” Slash said in an interview with CBS.
“The biggest thing that happens when you have a break up that is less than harmonious, you build up a bad energy because of the distance. The bad feelings get exaggerated.”
It has been over two decades since Slash, Axl, Duff McKagan, Izzy Stradlin and drummer Matt Sorum all stood on stage together to perform on their “Use Your Illusion” tour.
It wrapped July 17, 1993 in Argentina, and since then Axl has only since brought Duff and Izzy onto the stage with his new Guns N’ Roses band. However, he refused to appear at the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Museum induction.
The band — which started in a Hollywood deli and were signed in 1986 — sold over 100 million albums worldwide.

Re: NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!
Please baby Jesus, this is ALL I want... Plus let me know now so I can plan a wedding... Cause I WILL NOT MARRY ON THE DAY OF A REUNITED GNR SHOW!!! Unless the wedding is at a show.. lol..
Re: NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!
Its happening exactly like I said it would. Bits of info would trickle out until the avalanche started to build. I would have preferred an announcement out of the blue but I'm perfectly fine with how its playing out. A monumental occurrence such as this gives the amateur hour Scooby Doo mystery garbage a free pass.
That crap is over anyways once a reunion is underway. A shindig this size will require real management. TB will just be used to cater to us forum nerds but with a reunion going full steam ahead its not even going to matter what "clues" they post. No one will care.

Re: NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!
My heart is racing right now. I know I sound pathetic, but I have been dreaming for this potential tour for 22 years... Every since the end of the Skin and Bones/UYI Tour... I was 13 maybe 14 and simply too young to go... But just barely... I will spend $10,000 if need be to make this show(s).... I will not miss this one..

Slash's Current tour ends on Nov. 27... Perfect timing to promote a Reunion Tour...
Re: NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!
I want the reunion to be announced just so certain people can see how a real musician can multitask. I already know they can but some seem unable to imagine it.
I never doubted your car wash story. I only wondered how much the guy really knew. He obviously knew a lot.
