Axl Demands Withdrawal of All Quotes Regarding Sydney 500
According to Australia's rock station Triple M, Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has demanded the withdrawal of all his quotes used on the official press release that was sent around the country announcing the band's upcoming appearance at this year's Sydney 500 V8 Supercars street race.
Guns N' Roses will make its second trip to Australia since 1993 when it performs a one-off gig on Saturday, December 4, at ANZ Stadium, following the weekend's first event around the Olympic Park circuit.
"To mix Guns with this massive Sydney event will be a blast," Rose was quoted as saying in the original press release.
"We will be in Europe just before we head to Sydney so it will be great to come out and chill around Australia for a while, spend a bit of time getting around and soaking up the relaxed Aussie vibe.
"When we came back in 2007 it had been about 14 years between tours in Australia and we had a complete ball.
"Bring on Sydney and the V8 Supercars. Hopefully I can get a ride in one of those big beasts while I'm there."
According to The Daily Telegraph, it's believed V8 Supercars officials are paying Guns N' Roses more than AUD $1 million (around USD $886,000) to perform the solitary gig, included in the AUD $91 price (around USD $80) of Saturday's admission.
Tickets go on sale from Monday, July 19.

That would be some awesome footage seeing Axl rip down the track and I really hope someone catches some footage and shares it with those who can't be there. Man, what an adrenalin rush that would be !

I wonder if Sebastian Bach will be sitting on Axl's lap again?

This has got to be the worst tour in history. Worse than 2002 and 2006/07.
Is Axl capable of a coherent, organized tour without cancellations and no-shows?
I suppose the small turn-out in Canada has taught him that his version of GNR doesn't sell.
Axl should look at AC/DC's Black Ice tour. It lasted 21 months. Every show was a sellout out or 95% capacity. The album sold ten times more than CD worldwide. They cancelled two shows when their 63 year old singer needed surgery for ulcers.
New Guns are a joke.
