According to
GnrDaily.com,
GUNS N' ROSES are among the rumored artists that will perform at the
Live Earth series of concerts which will be staged at various locations around the world on July 7. The event will be hosted by
Al Gore.
Hamburg Magazin and
Radio Hamburg are reporting that
GUNS N' ROSES will play at the German location of
Live Earth, which will take place at the AOL Arena in Hamburg. Other artists that are scheduled to perform in Hamburg include
SHAKIRA and
PINK.
As previously reported, a studio mix of another new
GUNS N' ROSES song,
"There Was a Time", was leaked on Sunday, May 6, making it the fourth new
GN'R track in two days to be released via the Internet (
"The Blues",
"Chinese Democracy" and
"I.R.S." were leaked two days earlier).
"There Was a Time" (also known as
"T.W.A.T.") was played live only twice — at the first New York City warm-up show on May 12, 2006 and Madrid, Spain on May 25, 2006 — and was mentioned as one of
GN'R singer
Axl Rose's favorites in an interview he gave to
Rolling Stone magazine in January 2006. All tracks are rumored to be set for inclusion on
GUNS N' ROSES' upcoming album
"Chinese Democracy". (NOTE: Please **DO NOT** post links to these audio files in the comments section or you will be permanently banned)
"Chinese Democracy" is the first
GUNS N' ROSES album since the 1993 covers collection
"The Spaghetti Incident". In the ensuing decade, the group has lost every original member besides singer
Axl Rose and burned through a reported $13 million in recording expenses.
Longtime
GUNS N' ROSES associate
Del James revealed in a February 2007 online posting that
"Chinese Democracy" was in the "mixing" stage.
GUNS N' ROSES has announced that the band's 2007 world tour will begin on June 2 in Monterrey, Mexico. Launch dates in South Africa and Japan were bumped due to a wrist injury sustained by bassist
Tommy Stinson.
GUNS N' ROSES has been sued by a New Jersey-based production company for unpaid fees, according to
TMZ.com. The gossip site acquired a copy of the recently filed lawsuit, in which
Starlift Logistics alleges that it was hired to provide transportation and touring services for
GN'R's 2006 U.S. tour. The firm claims that
GUNS frontman
W. Axl Rose and other associates owe
Starlift more than $107,000 for services rendered.
The
GUNS N' ROSES camp has not responded publicly to the lawsuit.
