Guns N’ Roses to perform in India? What a tour!
Update: Now it looks like the band’s set to hit Taiwan and Japan, too, and sometime in December. Someone took this snapshot of the random ticketing center, which can be accessed here. Take it with a bag of salt, folks. Don’t go booking those flights just yet.
If you believe some Asian newspaper, then Axl Rose and the Hired Guns (also known in some circles as Guns N’ Roses) will descend upon India — Bengaluru, to be exact.
“Yes, it is true that we are bringing Guns N’ Roses to India,” says Raj Sinha, director of Rhapsody Inc., of the unlikely news. “As of now, I can tell you that the Bengaluru concert has been confirmed. We’re still in talks with people in Mumbai and Delhi, so let’s hope that works out. However, there is a good chance we can take the band to Shillong as well.”
Sinha’s Rhapsody Inc. is not the Rhapsody we’re quite familiar with (yet never use), but instead, a part of Chromosome Production Pvt. Ltd, which in the past has organized concerts by musicians like A.R. Rahman and Jagjit Singh. In a classic case of “shoulda done your research,” it seems as if Sinha and Rhapsody Inc. seem overall pleased with the decision, as if a.) Axl Rose commits to anything other than being non-existent, and b.) people actually want a tour with the current line up (y’know, the one with that rude and crude DJ Ashba?). Though, maybe it’s different in India.
If you recall, the long awaited, 14 million dollar masterpiece Chinese Democracy finally hit streets last November. Lucky for you, most — if not all — copies are still readily available at your local Best Buy, so hurry up while supplies last!

Misinformed, sickeningly smug and more than a little ignorant.>>>
I’ll take sickeningly smug; after all, I’m tired of the band at this point. But, misinformed and ignorant? How?
Oh, and I didn’t see your comments Mark. Thanks!
Ugh. Misinformed, sickeningly smug and more than a little ignorant. What, no spots open at perezhilton?
Actually just to clarify, I try to read the article without looking at the author so it does not skew my view. However, i will be more careful now so i can just boycott YOUR “writings” or just stop coming to the site.
As far as Johnny J, that was a nice little jab but it will not help your poor “journalism” skills.
Thanks for listening
I think u suck
I laugh, Tej. That’s too funny.
You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about son, but the Hired Guns made me lol.
Oh, what a shame, mark. You mean, you couldn’t tell it was my article from, I dunno, my name right above? Oh well. I’ll miss your comments. They make my day.
Say hi to Johnny J for me.
“The Michael Roffman commentary Page”
As I was reading the article I could TELL it was your article and stopped immediatley as i am SO sick of your snotty opinions in everything you write. Here’s to hoping you get a job in on the editorial page…
i think i just need to stop coming to COS which is unfortunate since i enjoy mostly everything else about the site.
I know, that’s why I gave it four stars. I think CoS is still itching around 3 stars, right? Shucks. Maybe someday…
Chinese Democracy, while horrendous, is still infinitely better than the drivel you put out day after day.
