Guns N’ Roses To Co-Headline With Van Halen? Posted: 06 Mar 2009 08:12 AM PST I haven’t wanted to talk about this because it’s just been pure speculations and rumors, but there has been a lot of words flying around about Guns N’ Roses doing full blown stadium tour. What’s the big deal about that? Well, everyone is wondering how the hell Axl plans on filling those seats. They don’t believe that Guns N Roses has the pull they once did, even with the release of Chinese Democracy. You really do have to wonder if it’s possible for them to fill stadium seats and sell tickets. While there is no doubt that they will sell a  significant amount of tickets, it’s just hard to think of them filling stadiums by themselves with a support act. So, if this rumor has any truth to it, this is a genius plan and will surely put asses in every seat of every stadium they plan on hitting with this supposed tour. Van Halen and Guns N Roses Co-Headline together. Van Halen is already going to fill the seats, so if I was Eddie Van Halen or their management, I would tell Guns N’ Roses (Axl) that they can go on before Van Halen. Alternating nights I would not do if I were Eddie and the crew. Van Halen has been around a lot longer than G N’ R and has been just as big, if not bigger throughout their career. With a 15 year hiatus, Axl should tuck his ego away and just go on before Van Halen, because Van Halen is going to truly sell the tickets and Guns N’ Roses is only going to help out a little. It’s just kind of another incentive to go. I honestly think this is a great Idea for Axl. Story resource: GNRDAILY.Com Image: Newscom Tags: axl rose, Guns N Roses stadium tour, Van Halen Share This

Nickelback Announce New Summer Tour Dates Posted: 06 Mar 2009 05:51 AM PST Nickelback has announced tour dates for an upcoming tour in support of their latest release, Dark Horse. Darks Horse has sold over 1.5 millions copies in the United States since it’s November 18th release, even though it got a lot of negative reviews and some have called it the worse album of 2008. Honestly, I haven’t heard it yet and I probably won’t bother for the simple fact that I’m tired of Nickelback and the whole craze around them. They are like the Pearl Jam of the new millennium in the sense that everyone is trying to sound like them, like everyone was trying to sound like Pearl Jam in the 90’s. Here are the summer tour dates. July 10 Darien Lake, NY Darien Lake Performing Arts Center July 11 Camden, NJ Susquehanna Bank Pavilion July 14 Scranton, PA Toyota Pavilion July 15 Wantagh, NY Nikon at Jones Beach Theater July 17 Hershey, PA Hershey Park Stadium & Star Pavilion July 18 Pittsburgh, PA Post-Gazette Pavilion July 21 Holmdel, NJ PNC Bank Arts Center July 22 Saratoga Springs, NY Saratoga Performing Arts Center July 24 Boston, MA Comcast Center July 25 Hartford, CT Meadows Music Theater July 28 Virginia Beach, VA Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheater July 29 Bristow, VA Nissan Pavilion July 31 Charlotte, NC Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre Charlotte Aug 01 Raleigh, NC Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek Aug 12 Clarkson, MI DTE Energy Music Theatre Aug 14 Cuyahoga Falls, OH Blossom Music Center Aug 15 Indianapolis, IN Verizon Wireless Music Center Indianapolis Aug 17 Birmingham, AL Verizon Wireless Music Center Birmingham Aug 19 Cincinnati, OH Riverbend Music Center Aug 21 Tinley Park, IL First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre Aug 22 Maryland Heights, MO Verizon Wireless Amphitheater St. Louis Aug 25 Englewood, CO Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre Aug 26 Salt Lake City, UT USANA Amphitheatre Aug 28 Ridgefield, WA Amphitheater at Clark County Aug 29 George, WA The Gorge Amphitheatre Aug 31 Marysville, CA Sleep Train Amphitheatre Sept 01 Mountain View, CA Shoreline Amphitheatre at Mountain View Sept 03 Irvine, CA Verizon Wireless Amphitheater Sept 05 San Diego, CA Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre Sept 09 Albuquerque, NM Journal Pavilion Image: Amazon.com   Tags: Dark Horse, nickelback, Tour dates Share This
