    The tour, which will kick off on the 20th of October in Jacksonville,
Florida, finds the band in top form having spent the summer in Europe
playing to 700,000 plus people over 32 shows in 18 countries, making it one
of the biggest tours of the year on the continent and in the UK. Concert
goers were not let down as Axl Rose and his band mates Dizzy Reed, Robin
Finck, Richard Fortus, Tommy Stinson, Chris Pitman, Brain and Ron
"Bumblefoot" Thal burned through classics such as "Welcome to the Jungle,"
"Paradise City," "Nightrain," "Mr. Brownstone," "November Rain" and "Sweet
Child O' Mine" as well as highlighting soon to be favourites from the
forthcoming "Chinese Democracy" album.
    Just this week, the Hollywood Reporter's concert review of KROQ's
Inland Invasion observed, "when headliner Guns N' Roses took the stage
everything old became new again -- and everything new on the bill, just
couldn't hold a candle in comparison ... the night belonged to Guns N'
Roses!"
    Axl Rose commented, "We had an amazing tour in Europe this summer and
last week's shows here in the US were great. It's been a long time getting
here but we look forward to coming to your town and having a lot of fun."
    Sebastian Bach who has been guesting with Guns N' Roses on "My
Michelle" will open the entire tour with the Special Guest slot going to a
number of great bands starting with Papa Roach for the dates through the
3rd of November. The shows have been planned to cater to a Guns N' Roses
rock n' roll party atmosphere with Sebastian hitting the stage every night
at 8 pm followed by the Special Guest at 9 pm and Guns N' Roses shortly
after 10 pm and lots of great music in between.
    Guns N' Roses are also delighted to announce that they have partnered
with Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLB.COM) to provide their fans
with premium ticketing opportunities and up to the minute information on
the tour and the band's other activities via gunsnroses.com which will be
