| Notes: First show of the Chinese Democracy World Tour and it's in China! As The band came on late, maybe 90 minutes after the opening band. Before GN'R played Chinese Democracy, Axl told a little anecdote why the new album is called "Chinese Democracy". He said it was because he saw a photo taken in Hong Kong, which he's using as the new album cover. Then he showed it on the video screens. It was a black and white picture of a bicycle with a basket, and in the wall behind it, someone had grafittied "guns n roses". During Paradise City there were pictures of Hong Kong on the video screen. Opening act: Fake? Poster (Thanks Eric) | |
