Guns N' Roses Stage Design Revealed For Canadian Tour

Axl Rose From diagrams surfacing on various ticket and venue sites, it appears elusive rockers Guns N' Roses will use a fairly deep stage with three catwalks when the band brings its Chinese Democracy World Tour to Canada in early 2010. The three extrusions coming from the main stage are becoming a bit more common with major tours - so much so, that Iron Maiden have nicknamed the catwalks "Ego Ramps." There is no indication that this stage design will be used in Asia.

The Chinese Democracy tour has featured legs in 2001, 2002, 2006 and 2007. The 2001 tour featured three U.S. dates and a Brazilian one, while the 2002 tour included Asian, North American and a few European dates. The band did not tour again until May 2006, when it toured North America again and performed a major tour of Europe. The band's latest tour, in 2007, went across Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Mexico. The only major concert market the band have not been to in any significant way is South America (with the exception of the single Brazilian show). Their first show after the release of the Chinese Democracy album (Nov 23, 2008) seems to be on Dec 11, 2009 in Taiwan. They have at this time scheduled four shows in Asia (one in Taiwan, one in South Korea and two in Japan) and thirteen in Canada.
