RockStar Weekly is pleased to announce the second release in our Tour Edition Collection. This time out we’re looking at the 2009-2010 Guns N’ Roses Chinese Democracy Tour with a 60 page collection of set lists from the entire tour. The magazine is being printed and distributed by Hewlett-Packard Development Company production service MagCloud.
We saw some incredible set lists on this tour, including a 42-song outing in Tokyo, Japan which lasted 3 hours and 37 minutes. Let’s hope that show finds it’s way to official DVD/Blu-Ray release. In traditional GNR manner, the set list changes are frequent and the lengths of the shows range from 21 to 42 songs. The band also had fun performing several covers as full songs or instrumentals during the tour. The complete list of songs performed is below. This book also contains a great fan story from Elías Helgi, who went from Iceland to Canada to see GNR.
We hope you enjoy this collection of set lists from the 2009-2010 GNR tour dates – It’s the only collection of its kind available in printed matter and would be a great memento if you attended one of the shows.
As a bonus, RockStar Weekly will donate $1.00 from each magazine sold to Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal’s favourite charity – the Multiple Sclerosis Research Foundation.
Oh well here it is. Last day of the tour. I hope you guys had fun. Lets hope they come back as soon as possible. I won’t talk too much about the tour, I will send my taughts tomorrow. It was amazing, and will write something about it tomorrow.
SO here is for the last day of the tour

The Halifax Metro Centre was built in 1978 in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The building is next to the World Trade and Convention Centre, at the foot of Citadel Hill. It is the largest arena in Halifax. It originally featured a full ring of bright orange seats around the playing surface, which is known as the “lower bowl”. It also has an incomplete “upper bowl” on each side of the arena facing rink-side (court-side) with seats of the same colour. In the mid to late 1990s, there were numerous renovations to the arena, including the addition of forty-three SkyBoxes and eleven “Executive Suites”. The addition of the SkyBoxes has since partially obscured views for people sitting high up in the upper bowl. These boxes do not cut off views of the events, but more cut off views of the rest of the seating area. Before the 2002–03 ice hockey season, in preparation for the World Junior Ice Hockey Championship, a new scoreboard and “SilverVision” LED screens were added. The arena concourses feature photographs of the various events that have taken place at the Metro Centre, with one side featuring entertainment events and the other featuring sporting events (including professional wrestling). It currently has a seating capacity of 10,595 for ice hockey. The building is connected to the Downtown Halifax Link system.
The arena is built into the ground to compensate for the steep elevation of the land it occupies. One can see cars at street level, outside, while watching an event. It is sometimes referred to as the “MC”.
In recent years there has been some talk of a possible new, larger arena to be built sometime in the next few years. It would likely have a seating capacity of over 15,000 for hockey games.[citation needed] In December 2007, an Ozzy Osbourne concert sold out in nine minutes, setting a box office ticket record for the Metro Centre. In July 2008, the Metro Centre also set a record sell-out (25,000 tickets sold in forty minutes), for two back-to-back Elton John concerts held in late September 2008.
I am still amazed by Quebec city show. It was such cool fun. Do we like the greates band in the world or WHAT?????????
Tonight it is in Moncton, New Brunswick. Last 2 shows of the canadian tour. After this Canadian tour, it will be another ball game with big venues for the South American people. I think they deserve to have a cool fucking tour. And they will enjoy it a lot.
I wish I was there…..

The Moncton Coliseum (French: Colisée de Moncton) is a sports arena/trade show facility located in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. The Coliseum’s capacity is 7,200 (6,554 seated) for hockey. The adjoining Moncton Agrena complex constitutes the largest trade show facility in Atlantic Canada.
It is currently home to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League‘s Moncton Wildcats. It was the former home of the American Hockey League‘s New Brunswick Hawks (Chicago Blackhawks farm team, 1978-82), Alpines (Edmonton Oilers, 1982-84), Moncton Golden Flames (Calgary Flames, 1984-87) and Moncton Hawks (Winnipeg Jets, 1987-94).
The arena has hosted several large events such as the 2006 Memorial Cup, the CIS University Cup in 2007 and 2008 and the 2009 Ford World Men’s Curling Championship. NHL pre-season hockey games are routinely held at the facility every year. The New York Islanders pre-season hockey camp is at the facility. The Coliseum has hosted many concerts over the years, including Rod Stewart, Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Dylan David Bowie and Metallica to name a few. Elton John performed to a sold out crowd at the Coliseum in 2008.
What a fucking great show in quebec city. I was sitting down a bit more in front of the stage, so I could really feel the new stage. The pyros, the screens, the ramps, everthing is so perfect. I saw many shows of many bands in my life, but that tour tops it all. And you want to go see another band after this. Who is gonna top that tour? Welll…GnR.. themselves!
And what a set list. Was very happy to hear Rocket Queen again. Is that a great song or what? And a great thing to hear a lot of Chinese Democracy songs being played. Not that the old tunes are not good, but the songs of Chinese Democracy fits so good on this tour.
People of Moncton, be prepared to get your ass kicked seriously!
Can’t wait to see them again.
SET LIST:
Like I said on the last post, THIS WILL BE AN AMAZING NIGHT. I CAN FEEL IT!
So for those of you who don’t know the Bell centre, here it is. Let’s rock it tonight. I WILL BE THERE. My complete review tomorrow night, or right after the show, if I am not too tired….
SET LIST:
The Bell Centre is located in Downtown Montreal, on the corner of the avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal and De la Montagne street. It is easily accessible by public transportation, linked to both Lucien L’Allier and Bonaventure metro stations, as well as to the Greater Montreal commuter train network, Agence métropolitaine de transport. It is also connected to the underground city. The Bell Centre is well located due to its very close proximity to a vast array bars and restaurants.
The building covers an area of 1.568 hectares (15,680 square metres, 168,778 sq. ft). It is located in downtown Montreal and is across the street from the 1250 René-Lévesque skyscraper and next door to Windsor station. It has a seating capacity of 21,273, making it the largest National Hockey League (NHL) arena. It also holds four restaurants, the most popular being La Cage aux Sports, which is one of the largest sports restaurants/bars in Montreal.[3]
Capacities of the Centre are:
The public address announcer for the Canadiens’ games is Michel Lacroix, while Charles Prévost-Linton sings the national anthems.
A new Daktronics scoreboard was installed prior of the 2008-2009 season. The new scoreboard is the biggest in the NHL.
The Bell Centre is arranged in a three-tier layout: The lower 100 section, commonly referred to as “the reds” since these seats are painted red, the 300 section rows AA-FF, also known as the white section, the middle part between the whites and the blue section is known as the grey section, also the 300 section, rows A-D and lastly, the 400 section is the blue section consisting of rows A-D.
The 200 section is known as Club Desjardins is between two levels of private and corporate boxes. However, tickets are sold for this section at a higher price than for seats closer to ice level because free food and non-alcoholic drinks are provided.
The ends of the 400 section are further divided into two more groups. At one end is the Molson Ex Zone, known to be the loudest section in the arena, and is commonly where chants begin. At the opposite end is the Family Zone, featuring lower ticket prices for children.
The grandstands rise very sharply, meaning that everyone has a great view, even if a tall spectator happens to be sitting in front of you.
The interior of the Bell Centre is themed heavily by the Montreal Canadiens. Team photographs from every season can be found throughout, as well as bronze busts of famous players.
Inside the Bell Centre before a hockey game.
The final two games of the three-game 1996 World Cup of Hockey championship series were held at the Bell Centre (the USA won both games, defeating Canada in the series 2–1). The Bell Centre was also host to two pool games in the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. The Bell Centre was the host of the 2009 NHL All-Star Game and hosted the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
The Bell Centre has also held several WWE events, including the 1997 Survivor Series, where the infamous Montreal Screwjob took place, as well as other pay-per-views including 2003 No Way Out. The arena hosted Breaking Point on September 13, 2009.
The Bell Centre was the venue of the first UFC event (UFC 83) to take place in Canada on April 19, 2008. The show was headlined by a rematch between Welterweight champion Matt Serra and Montreal native Georges St-Pierre. The tickets available to the public sold out in under one minute, and the event set the all time UFC attendance record. The Bell Centre was also host to UFC 97 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on April 18, 2009 where the pound for pound king and Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva defended his belt against fellow Brazilian Thales Leites in a lackluster performance which was won by Anderson Silva via unanimous decision.
The Bell Centre is also the primary concert venue for major performances. Most shows put on by big acts visit the arena unless they require more room than is available in a hockey rink-sized facility; in which case the Olympic Stadium is used, or less frequently, Parc Jean-Drapeau.
Concerts by Celine Dion for August 15 and 16, 2008 were sold out within six minutes. The next day, Dion’s management added two more concert dates on August 18 and 20, 2008. A further seven dates were added bringing the total to 11 shows and 246,000 spectators. She set a record in the history of Canadian concerts when all eleven shows sold out within an hour. By her eleventh concert she would have played the Bell Centre 31 times since 1996 [4]. The Montreal concerts grossed just over $30 million, making it one of the biggest concert events held at any arena in the world.
Montreal Canadiens home games have been consistently sold out since January 2004[5]. Additionally, the Canadiens have among the top attendance figures in the NHL. For the 2008-2009 season, the Habs had the second highest attendance, second only to the Chicago Blackhawks.[5]

The John Labatt Centre is a sports-entertainment centre in London, Ontario, Canada — the largest such centre in southwestern Ontario.
The John Labatt Centre, usually referred to as the “JLC”, opened on October 11, 2002. It is named after John Labatt, founder of the Labatt brewery in London. Labatt still has a large brewery in London to the present day, although its head office was moved to Toronto in the early 1990s.
The JLC was built, in part, to be the new downtown home of London’s Ontario Hockey League team, the London Knights, replacing the 40-year-old London Ice House in the south end of the city, near Highway 401.
Another amazing show tonight!…Here is the place, and here will be the set list. Tonight I will post something else!

So here we are. Tomorrow will be in Saskatoon in Credit Union Centre. Here is a little history of that place. I have a surprise for you tonight. Not really a surprise, cause maybe you read it before, but a cool article that Jarmo posted on his site (www.heretodaygonetohell.com) and I taught I would share with you. So come back later, I will post it.
So here is for the history of the Credit Union Centre (thanks to wikipedia)
Credit Union Centre, formerly known as Saskatchewan Place or SaskPlace, is an arena located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Situated near the city’s northern entrance, the facility opened in February, 1988 with a seating capacity of around 7,800. It was expanded to 11,330 for the World Junior Hockey Championships in 1991. It currently can seat around 15,000 for hockey games and 13,000 for concerts.[1] It is the home venue of the Saskatoon Blades hockey team.
It has free parking on site with parking space for 4,000 cars on its property. For most publicly attended events, transit service is offered from downtown. For high attendance events extra transit links are offered from shopping centres and other locations.
The Credit Union Centre has hosted performances by many leading acts and has been the site of numerous national and international events. In 2005, it was the site of the main concert celebrating Saskatchewan‘s 100th anniversary as a province of Canada. The performance was attended by Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada and the Duke of Edinburgh.

When the arena opened on November 10, 1974, it was known as Northlands Coliseum to house the World Hockey Association Oilers, named after the nonprofit organization that still owns the arena today. Then it became the Edmonton Coliseum in 1994, and Skyreach Centre in 1998, before it changed to its current name during the middle of the 2003–04 NHL season when its naming rights were purchased by the Rexall medicine company, a subsidiary of Katz Group Canada.
The arena was used to host games in the 1981 and 1984 Canada Cup hockey tournaments, including Game 2 of the 1984 finals between Canada and Sweden. In the 1995 World Junior Championships, which were held in various cities and towns throughout Alberta, Edmonton Coliseum was the site of several games, including Canada’s 6–3 victory over Finland on New Year’s Day.
The venue was the site of several Commonwealth Games sports in 1978, and part of Universiade (the World University Games) in 1983. It also hosted the World Wrestling Entertainment 2004 Backlash pay per view. Annual events include the Canadian Finals Rodeo and the Christian Conference, YC Alberta.
Before the 2007/08 season started, the Oilers dressing room was renovated for $3.5 million. The state-of-art room is now wider with a new medical room, lounge, bar, video room, weight room as well as other new facilities. Just after the entrance to the dressing room is a cubicle with 5 replica Stanley Cups in it that has all the names of the past Oilers who won cups with the team. Next to the 5 replicas is an empty space symbolizing that there is always room for another.[2]
The official capacity for hockey is currently 16,839, which is slightly less than the 17,100 the arena held before the 2001–02 NHL season. Some media sources[who?] still quote the old capacity even though the Oilers have never announced an attendance above 16,839 since the most recent changes. When it opened, the capacity was slightly more than 15,200, but it was increased to 17,353 after the Oilers joined the NHL by adding an extra tier of seating on the side opposite the pressbox. This was increased to 17,503 in 1984. The arena underwent an extensive renovation in 1994 in which the seating capacity was reduced to make way for fifty-two luxury suites. Fifteen more suites were added in 2001.
