Re: Guns N' Roses tour to continue through 2017(and beyond)
Some site mentioning GN'R concerts for Prague and Vienna in 2017 for trips from the Ukraine. Dates to be announced soon
There's a strange addition that there might be some focus on the Use Your Illusion albums for the tour (unless I am reading it wrong). Odd.

If I should hazard a guess... They've so far had around 9 AFD songs (out of 12) in heavy rotation. They may wish to cater the European crowds by shaking things up with more sprawling songs like Locomotive, Pretty Tied Up and Breakdown. Less about the hard rock nostalgia and more about their further musical development. Would also be more fun for them.
Wanted to ask you about tour routing and longevity.
They're getting back on the road fast next year. The Japanese tour leg is starting on Jan 21st, followed by Oceania through the first three weeks of Feb. Canada might also be a possibility before the summer, should they want to keep busy.
The European tour leg would be likely to be built around festival appearances like Download. Past tours suggest a timeframe from late May to late July. After that, it seems to be pretty open season; they've toured all their usual haunts. One would imagine the sheer scale of the tour restricts them somewhat, they can hardly do one-offs with that production without a huge overhead.
Perhaps an optimal solution would be to have the tour pave way for an album for Christmas 2017. They could get back on the road early into the following year and do it all over again.

I am completely ignorant of the logistics/revenue behind it, but could that be a time to do an "intimate" series of smaller shows to mark the AFD 30th?

Gotta be honest, if Download is the only UK date I might just head over to Dublin for the inevitable Ireland show...

All we have so far is the Download date which is 9-11 June. I would imagine there will be about 20ish dates around this date. I cannot see the band stretching too far beyond that in one stint. If we can get one other date, it might give a ballpark time frame. Download was announced last October, so that could be a clue as to when dates will be announced.
With regard to recordings etc.. I know nothing.
Re: Guns N' Roses tour to continue through 2017(and beyond)
again, I hold no hope for new music unless Slash and Duff work on Axl's existing vault. It really only needs to be Slash as he will be the big selling point. Where is the time going to be to do this? Divorces, AC/DC tours, huge shows across the world. It is simply money making time boys. New music won't make any money no matter who plays on it so it gets put last.
I guess it is best to enjoy what we have.

This article is linking GN'R to San Siro and Rock in Roma for 2017, (I think)

20ish dates would roughly translate to 50-60 day itinerary. That's pretty much in line with what they'd done in the past. I agree that it's doubtful they'll overstep their mark. They want to make money instead of spending it.
I am completely ignorant of the logistics/revenue behind it, but could that be a time to do an "intimate" series of smaller shows to mark the AFD 30th?
They currently have, what, 20 trucks? A club tour to commemorate AFD (with Izzy and Adler) would be a hoot. Slash would prolly love to do it. But that would be a decisively different animal from the epic NITL tour.

Axl wants his stuff from the CD sessions to come out, eventually. He's said so himself and he's still mighty proud of the work done.
It really only needs to be Slash as he will be the big selling point. Where is the time going to be to do this?
Depending when they want to release things, really. Slash can come up with solid things relatively quickly. His stuff can be done in a week or two. it's Axl who might take forever in combing the guitar parts.
They could amalgamate Slash to a number of CD2 songs in the space of a month, if they wanted to.
New music won't make any money no matter who plays on it so it gets put last.
Quite so. Which is why I got into thinking, when would this tour come to an end? At that point, it's a judgment call for Guns - either retire all pretensions and collect the pensions, or forge ahead, with a new album excusing them for another tour in 2018.
