BW&BK; caught up with Danko Jones on October 20th in Nuremberg, Germany during the band's ongoing European headline tour. An excerpt from the story is available below:

It’s fair to say that some of the current buzz surrounding Danko Jones is owed to GUNS N' ROSES. What was supposed to be a short Canadian leg of the Chinese Democracy tour at the beginning of the year became repeated invites from the G’N’R camp to do on-and-off support shows over the course of 2010.

“The beginning of the whole machine moving was the Guns N’ Roses tour across Canada in January 2010. Ever since then we’ve been out. We had four or five weeks off around February, but since then it’s been pretty much non-stop. They’ve taken us to 10 countries, places we never would have gotten to otherwise. They actually offered us a spot on their current tour but we had this one booked already. It’s a really great gig because we get treated really well by the crew and the band.”
“Those Eastern European shows Guns N’ Roses did, we were supposed to do the whole tour, so it’s really too bad we couldn’t do that tour and this one,” Danko continues. “It’s a little disappointing for me. We’ve proven ourselves when there were certain situations that arose where we had to deliver. Sometimes we had to extend our set or whatever. Sometimes as an opening band you get sidelined, and some bands complain, but we’re pretty grounded and we’re well aware of how it goes. We’re just glad to be out on the road, and I think the Guns people really appreciated that. We gained their respect, and when you do that with an entity like Guns N’ Roses you get treated really well. That makes life really easy and it was cool. We have absolutely no complaints.”
“The only complaint I have is that we’re not playing with them tonight (laughs). Touring with them has definitely helped us in terms of raising the profile of our band.”
