Guns N’ Roses will be heading out on a six date tour to small clubs in New York, Chicago, Maryland, and New Jersey as the band prepares to be inducted into the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame in April.

Unfortunately, the Guns N’ Roses tour will only include one original member, Axl Rose.

Rose will, however, join his old bandmates in April when the original lineup is inducted into the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, but the band hasn’t decided if they’ll get back together to play one last time.

Drummer Steven Adler told Rolling Stone last month that he’d like to organize a reunion tour, or at the very least, play one farewell concert. Adler said:

“I personally just want to finish what I started with those jack-offs. We started off something, let’s end the career playing together, at least once. I’d love to do a whole tour of the world. I personally – and I know that Slash and Duff feel the same way – we owe it to the fans to do a tour around the world. We haven’t performed for over 20 years and they’ve stuck by us and believe in us.”

Rose said that he would consider playing with Slash and bassist Duff Mckagan, but he doesn’t see himself playing again with  Izzy Stradlin or Adler. Rose said:

“I’ve got mixed emotions about what the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame actually really is, but at the same time, there’s a lot of people the fans that it just means something to them, and they’re happy. So I don’t want to take that away from them… The only thing that would make it would be Duff and Slash, really… It’s nothing against Izzy and it’s nothing against Steven, or anything like that. Steven may want it, but these guys I’m working with right now, they work really hard and it’s hard work. I’ve toured with the other guys and I’ve also seen what they’ve done since, and I just know the difficulties. So it’s not really even a full reunion.”

Guns N’ Roses Announce Mini-Tour is a post from: The Inquisitr

Jam reports how the frontman screamed obscenities down his microphone at the fan, before signalling to security to throw the guy out. Though it’s unknown what angered Rose so much, the punter’s behavior was said to be unruly, and he was carted out of the venue after Rose had finished yelling the following at him:

“Out, motherf**ker! Out! Get the f**k out! Yeah, you! See ya, you dumb motherf**ker.”

It’s hard to take sides in this with so little knowledge about the incident, but I will say I’ve wanted plenty of concert jerks thrown out in my time (the types that leap all over everybody else while something like ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ is being played). Whether this guy deserved it I obviously couldn’t say, but what a galling way to be thrown out of your favorite band’s gig! I’m guessing those posters are coming down from the bedroom wall of this dude as we speak.

Guns N’ Roses haven’t always had a completely harmonious relationship with fans. In October, the band showed up two hours late to their headlining set at Brazil’s ‘Rock in Rio’ festival. The festival organizer accused the band of disrespecting their fans.

That led to the group releasing a statement saying they’d “never seek to intentionally disrespect anyone, especially their fans”.

Has anything similar ever happened at a gig you attended?

Axl Rose Has Fan Thrown out of Guns N’ Roses Gig is a post from: The Inquisitr

Mark your calendars: Sunday’s the day to cash in on Dr. Pepper’s long-standing challenge to Axl Rose.

The soft drink maker had said back in March that it’d give a free can of Dr. Pepper to “everyone in America” if Rose’s Chinese Democracy album actually came out in 2008. The album — currently available for free streaming at MySpace Music — officially comes out Sunday.

So that means Sunday, you can grab your free can and celebrate. Dr. Pepper says it’ll post coupons for free 20-ounce sodas on its Web site for 24 hours starting at 12:01 a.m. Sunday. The coupons will be good until the end of next February.

“We never thought this day would come,” Dr. Pepper execs said in a statement. “But now that it’s here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper’s on us.”

Carbonated refreshment aside, though, does Chinese Democracy live up to its 14-year hype? The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times both have interesting reviews that sum the effort quite well. Slash, however, is thus far staying silent.
