GUNS N' ROSES: More New AXL ROSE Photos Posted Online

February 22, 2006

Two more brand-new photos of GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose — both taken last Thursday (Feb. 16) at the JFK airport in New York City — have surfaced online. Check them out: Photo#1, Photo#2.

GUNS N' ROSES have lined up a number of European festival appearances this summer in what will mark their first live performances since 2002, when the group's ill-fated "Chinese Democracy" trek was scrapped due to Rose's "shenanigans, including his penchant for swaggering onstage hours late, the occasional riot, and sluggish ticket sales mainly due to the fact that they had no album to promote," according to E! Online.

GUNS N' ROSES' European tour is now shaping up as follows:

May 27 - Lisbon, POR @ Rock In Rio (Lisbon)
Jun. 3-4 - ITA @ Gods of Metal
Jun. 3-6 - Nurburgring, GER @ Rock am Ring
Jun. 09 – Dublin, IRE @ RDS Arena
Jun. 9-11 - Donington, UK @ Download
Jun. 15-17 - Pannonia Fields, AUT @ Nova Rock

In a rare interview conducted by Rolling Stone magazine on Jan. 13, GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose promised fans that the band will be back in 2006 with the long-awaited "Chinese Democracy" album.

"People will hear music this year," Rose said. "'Chinese Democracy' is a very complex record. I am trying to do something different. Some of the arrangements are kind of like QUEEN."

He also added he is working on 32 songs for the album and 26 are finished out of which 13 will feature on the final album. Some songs include "Better", "There was a Time" and "The Blues".

GUNS N' ROSES' "Greatest Hits" collection, which was originally issued in March of 2004, sold 16,000 copies in the United States last week alone, bringing the total number of copies sold since its release to 2.77 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Rose, along with Slash and ex-bassist Duff McKagan, tried to block the release of "Greatest Hits" with a lawsuit, claiming that the record label had assembled the CD without their input. The band's label, Geffen Records, insisted that it was forced to put out a greatest hits album since Axl Rose had failed to deliver the long-delayed new GUNS album, "Chinese Democracy".
