Guns N' Roses To Perform In India?

Wednesday • September 9,  2010   8:54:59 AM

According to The Asian Age, Guns N’ Roses are playing in India. Pinch yourself, because this isn’t a dream! After decades of speculation and rumours about coming to India, the American rock band will perform in Bengaluru on November 7 at the Palace Grounds.

Confirming this news, Raj Sinha, director of Rhapsody Inc., the company that is organising the concert said, "Yes, it is true that we are bringing Guns N’ Roses to India. As of now I can tell you that the Bengaluru concert has been confirmed. We’re still in talks with people in Mumbai and Delhi, so let’s hope that works out. However, there is a good chance we can take the band to Shillong as well. The band was supposed to have played there on September 19, but for some reason it didn’t work out."

Dubbed as Axl and Friends, the band has seen major transformation over the years and the only founding member to be a part of the current lineup is vocalist Axl Rose. While other famous members like Slash, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan left the band citing various differences, Axl remained. The band finally released the album Chinese Democracy with newer members in 2008. The album was in the making for around 15 years and was much awaited, though it received a timid response.

"I can confirm that Axl Rose and Dizzy Reed will be there. DJ Ashba, their latest entrant, will be there. There will also be a person called Troy and two other members," said Sinha. Rhapsody Inc. is a venture of Chromosome Production Pvt. Ltd, a company that has organised concerts of musicians like A.R. Rahman and Jagjit Singh. This is the company’s first international venture. Let’s hope for all our sakes, this one really works out.

Apparently Axl is having Ravi Shankar playing the solo from Estranged as the grand finale. As he takes his bow at the end of the show he will grab his mike and scream 'Thank you, come a-fuckin'-gain!'

Lars isn't holding anything up with our video. Our message board comments were meant casually, in fun and amongst friends.

Unfortunately someone with Roadrunner and or Blabbermouth may have taken things a bit out of context and made them into a bit more than they are in reality. Our apologies to anyone who may have been confused. We hope to have our video out shortly.

Thank you.

If this is true, then the "Troy" mentioned may be Troy Patrick Farrell. He's a hard rock drummer who is very well known in the LA area and is friends with Dizzy. Here is a short write up about him:


"Troy Patrick Farrell is fast becoming one of the most sought after drummers in music. I think it is safe to say that 2006, is shaping up to one of the busiest working years for the talented L.A. musician. Troy Patrick Farrell will be heading out on the road with Hookers N' Blow for a two week tour that begins in New Orleans. The trek of HNB tour will take the LA Rockers to New England, and on September 9 in California.

Troy Patrick Farrell has a Rock and Roll resume that would make any 80's musician proud. His special unique drumming style has captured the attention of some of the top names from the 80's genre.

I recently caught up with Mr Roll and Roll- Troy Patrick Farrell. In this Exclusive interview for Glam-Metal.Com. Troy discusses the upcoming HNB Tour, working with Jani Lane, Mike Tramp's White Lion.



Hi Troy, First of all Happy Belated Birthday! How are you? I hear that the ultimate party band from LA, Hookers N'Blow will be embarking on a two week tour soon. The tour kicks off in Los Angeles at The Cat Club on Aug 19. Dizzy Reed of GNR will be performing with HNB. Tell me about the upcoming HNB Tour and what the fans can expect to see this time around. Who will be touring line-up of HNB this time around?
Hey!..thx for checking in and for the Birthday wish.. We managed to squeeze the most out of Dizzy’s time off from GNR to do some dates. We’re hitting some areas we’ve never hit, and making a return to some old friends as well. We’re starting off the run at the Cat Club on the Strip in Hollywood and Richard Fortus, GNR’s guitarist and friend of HNB will be joining us. Expect to hear some old fav’s, a couple of new ones and maybe a Dizzy Reed solo song here or there. For the rest of the run, we have Quiet Riot’s Alex Grossi,Scotty Griffin, Dizzy Reed of Guns N- Roses as well as Chad MacDonald of Jani Lane’s current band."

Only Troy that I know of that i can associate with Axl and Dizzy. But if this is true, what does this say about the new G N' R? Could this be a whole new revamped band. Could the other two guys be Duff and Izzy? Could there be a big announcement coming? Or is this all just more bs? Stay tuned.


9/9/2009 | 9:31:42 PM by Slane92

I think that "Troy" might be something lost in translation, or else the cast of High School Musical are gonna open for Guns in India..... ;-)

Lets hope there is some substance in these reports, It would be great.

I got nothing to ad to language like that except this is nothing more than trying to create a riot again.

We had a ball here, can someone in charge please jump in before it all starts again?
This is purely playing on the man instead of playing on the ball.
We're here to discuss GNR, not to bring each other down.

9/10/2009 | 2:06:13 PM by J

Beddy beddy beddy much my sorriness I am having for you. Dizzy? Axl? I am beddy beddy confusing. Oh well. I beddy much being my bad dudes.

9/11/2009 | 5:23:53 PM by vimal

Cool if GNR is coming to India, but I am sure it’s not going to happen in India at least. And if it happens I am sure they as well as we will have a great time there. But I don’t think if they turn up to India they will come to stage to perform. The band has so much of bad attitude that ones there was no towel backstage so axl dint go to stag. One of the another Sean where in download the bassist Tommy Stinson of the band was un happy with crowd because which he Stinson threw his bass, accidentally hitting one of the cameramen, and left the stage in middle of the song and walk off. Later he came back asked apologized to the crowd. This happened Download 2006. And because of the the procure from festival promoters he came back.

now tell me who will take this kind of risk.

And its not guns n' roses coming to india its AXL and friends.

9/11/2009 | 5:33:03 PM by SWOC

"And its not guns n' roses coming to india its AXL and friends".

Why did you compare GnR to Slash & Friends upcoming album, ha? I have to told ya, that I like it... haha

9/14/2009 | 5:09:17 AM by Brandon

You really do make me laugh gnr4ever! You jumped on this story as being gospel way too quick. Too bad you did all that smack talking. You eating your words yet, buddy?

And someone named Troy is in the band? Please, please, please tell me it is Cowboy Troy from Gone Country, or Nashville Superstar, or whatever friggin reality show he was on! That would be really awesome!!!!!! : )
