April 1, 2017, 7 years ago
In a new interview with Honky Tonk, found below, Guns N' Roses guitarist Richard Fortus - who has been with the band since 2001 - discusses their Not In This Lifetime tour, which features the partial reunion of the original G'N'R line-up including Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan.
The Guns N’ Roses Not In This Lifetime Tour reached 353,000 fans over eight stadium shows in Australia and New Zealand in February, reports Christie Eliezer of Pollstar Pro.
Five GN'R albums returned to the official Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) charts as a result.
Paul Dainty, president and CEO of tour promoter TEG Dainty, said the tour exceeded expectations of crowd size and show quality. "Guns N' Roses has a huge fan base in Australia, but I would say it's now bigger than ever after this fabulous tour," Dainty remarked. "Every night the band delivered its trademark sound and performance. I can't speak highly enough of their professionalism and passion. We would love to see them back soon."
