Touring rumours

“With one important caveat being that unlike most musicians that are “hired” by a band, Slash & Duff aren’t being paid a flat salary, they’re being a percentage, which is far more lucrative.

I don’t think it’s publicly known when their contracts expire (I’ve heard end of next year, no idea if that’s true), but hopefully everyone is having a good time and enjoying the incredible money and wants to continue this for years to come.”

Guns N’ Roses have announced a 2017 tour across Europe and North America

The dates are due to take place throughout May, June, July, August and September next year. Tickets go on sale in Canada and Europe on December 9, and on December 10 in the US.

Last week the reactivated lineup featuring Axl Rose, Duff McKagan and Slash hinted that something big was on the cards when Guns N’ Roses posters appeared across Europe and North America – now it’s confirmed that they’ll play across those territories.

Finally. It almost seemed like the forum was gonna die a slow death...

Told we had to stay on plane last night in Sydney; 'airport security' wanted to do a check. We waited. It was Angus Young is an orange vest!

AC/DC guitarist Angus Young is rumored to be making a guest appearance with GUNS N' ROSES at their shows in Sydney, Australia Friday and Saturday night.

GUNS N' ROSES bassist Duff McKagan tweeted earlier today that Angus greeted him and his bandmates when they arrived in Sydney. In addition, Fernando Lebeis, who is part of GN'R's management team, posted a photo on Instragam of a nice flower arrangement with a "Welcome to Sydney!" card signed by Angus and the guitarist's wife Ellen. "I have missed these two, Angus and Ella. AC/DC Family," Lebeis wrote.

Further fueling the speculation of a Young-GUNS N' ROSES jam is the revelation that fans who attended GUNS N' ROSES' Brisbane show earlier this week told the Australian GN'R fan page Guns Over Oz that the band played some AC/DC songs during its Brisbane soundcheck

While Adler has made occasional guest appearances onstage with the band during the tour, Stradlin has not appeared with the band. According to former Guns N’ Roses manager Alan Niven however, this was not supposed to be the case.
Appearing on the Appetite for Distortion podcast, Niven said "He [Stradlin] did get as far as flying out and doing a soundcheck, and then he left after the soundcheck, he didn't want to have anything to do with it."

According to Niven, the soundcheck with Stradlin took place last year, "Somewhere out in the Midwest." "Obviously had it gone well and everybody had been happy, and there had been a little bit of brotherhood, I’m sure he would have stayed with it," Niven continued, "But something must have really upset him, because he left after the soundcheck, and never turned up for another one or an appearance. I would think right now he is probably a little pissed off.”
