Guns N' Roses Guitarist Denies Tour Claims
Related Content
Guns N' Roses guitarist Richard Fortus has denied that he ever said the band will begin a world tour in March that will last for at least two years, reports Blabbermouth.net.
Fortus' original comments about GN'R hitting the road supposedly came as part of an interview with TheTelegraph.com to promote his appearance in St. Louis on Monday night (December 29) with Pale Divine, a locally popular act, of which he was a founding member, that has not played together for 17 years.
After the TheTelegraph.com article was published and Fortus' comments got picked up by a number of news outlets all around the world, including GuitarWorld.com, the guitarist issued the following statement:
"OK, it seems that I am being misquoted once again. I never said that GN'R would be playing St. Louis, nor did I say that we will be doing free shows or that we are starting a two-year tour in March! Selective hearing. Never said it."

Fortus might be eager to help Axl flog the ol' G&R name on the road for the next 2 years, but the quick retraction er, I mean, um.."misquote", might be due to Axl reading him the riot act. If Axl's already washed his hands of the product (since he's refused to do any publicity for it), the only way Ricky there is going to play G&R in front of anybody is if he does it on Rock Band or Guitar Hero. And even if he did it on Rock Band Axl would probably show up 2 hours late to announce he wasn't going to play :P

14 years to put out an album maybe 14 more to tour behind it. Axl is an idiot. Slash, Duff, Izzy, and Matt must have been peeing in their pant's after listening to Chinese Democracy from the laughter. Axl probley thinks he's still revelent after all these year's. If they do tour maybe they should open for Velvet Revolver now I would pay to see that!
