Guns N’ Roses confirm Sydneyconcert

Wed 14th Jul, 2010 in Local News

Guns N’ Roses – well, Axl Rose and friends – will play a one-off East Coast concert after Sydney’s V8 Supercar race this December.

Rumours of a Guns N’ Roses show first surfaced in early June, but the notorious perfectionist Rose has now officially confirmed the visit.

According to the singer mixing V8 Supercar’s and Paradise City is a natural combination. “Fast cars and rock ‘n’ roll … To mix Guns with this massive Sydney event will be a blast. Some of our biggest fans are Aussies and we love coming down there.”

The show on Saturday 4th December will the band’s first Australian appearance since 2007 and the release of the infamously delayed Chinese Democracy album.

Tickets for the concert go on sale Monday 19th July.

" Also appearing alongside the action-packed V8 Supercar racing at this
year's Sydney Telstra 500 is the world's greatest skater, Tony Hawk. The
'master of skate' will showcase his signature moves during four
heart-stopping shows - two on Saturday and two on Sunday. "

Don't forget about the worlds greatest (and oldest) Skateboarder!

Dexter has 5 months to regrow the mullet so it should be a goer.

Well, presumably not RIGHT alongside the racing - that would be a little dangerous wouldnt it?

Spicy McHaggis

Spicy McHaggis said on the 14th Jul, 2010

You're from the shire, so its probably Tony Hawk that has got you wet right?

Apparently there is an East Coast exclusivity deal with the car race, so Rose must be getting paid a shitload for just the one show (i.e. more than the combines takings for Sydney Melb and Bris).

Adelaide and Perth shows on the cards as well.

apparently v8 supercars are paying them 1 million for the show. which is relativley cheap for them seeing they get around 184,000 people through the whole weekend, which would pull up around 4-5 million in ticket sales, so v8's are benefitting, if people show up for the gig....

yeah fair call, plus a concert day GA ticket would be around $60 or so which is way cheaper than the $100 or so you would pay for a separate Axl Rose Caberet Show.

A musical journey to an alternate dimension, a simpler time when Guns N’ Roses probably didn’t hate each other on an EP, put together by DJ 5agge mixing Axl Rose’s vocals from Chinese Democracy with cuts from Slash’s solo album and Velvet Revolver
