Pale Divine to reunite in St. Louis

Former guitarist also hints at Guns N' Roses show here

December 26, 2008

But the coming year or two with another band will keep Fortus busy and traveling, as he has been a rhythm and sometime lead guitarist with Guns N' Roses.

GN'R fans will be opening up the gift of the long-awaited "Chinese Democracy" release today, and Fortus can be heard on some of the album's cuts.

A legendary story in the world of rock was birthed on July 2, 1991, when Axl Rose stormed off the stage at Riverport Amphitheater, ticked at a photog snapping pics of him in the audience. The fans there rioted, causing loads of damage to the then-new venue.

STL fans of GN'R since have known a chance of Rose's return to the Gateway City was seemingly impossible. In fact, Fortus and Rose have a little joke about it.

"There has been talk of us doing a Love tour, a tour of all the cities where there have been riots, and doing free shows," Fortus said in a recent telephone interview. "That might happen."

The guitar player would love to do a St. Louis date, so his parents don't have to drive to Chicago or Kansas City to see him on stage with Rose and Co. Regardless, he said, late March should bring the GN'R tour, which likely will last at least two years.

[ShePoutsHerBest]

That's what I'm talking about

[Chase the Ace]

Where did he say March?

EDIT: I see it now.


Hmm I guess I was safe to assume that that was where he was going in Feb.

[cuddergnr]

oh my lord!!!!

[Axlcrazy]

Don't want to get over excited without confirmation, But from everything We've been hearing it seems likely that the tour would start around then. Either way, I've started my tour fund!

[RickRoses]

Either way, I've started my tour fund!

"I will give Axl a second chance if he apologizes and puts on a free show"

I guess he may very well eat his own words soon. Bon Appetite.

[summerharvest]

in all honesty, i think by 'years' he means 'months'.
no joke.

It actually makes sense; they tour in support of Chi Dem and in the middle of the 2 year tour (same bat channel, same time next year) the second album drops, and the tour is then supports both albums, showcasing the new one.

  YES!!! The "Love Tour" starts in St. Louis and will end in PHILLY!! 

           With stops in Montreal and Vancouver, of course!

   I told people back in 2002, "What other band can inspire such loyalty turned utter disappointment/venomous outrage when a show gets canceled, especially when they didn't have a new album and haven't toured for YEARS?!?  ONLY Guns N' Fuckin' Roses."

     If they pull this off, it will be truly amazing. I want a 2nd row LOVE Tour ticket to replace my Dec. 2002 2nd Row RIOT ticket!!
