Re: Fernando's link to leaks? And the craziness that is gnr
Keith Richards fell off a palm tree and the very last two shows of the original itinerary to be canceled were the ones which Guns were supposed to open. Two very last. Serious case of bad luck.
Tommy Stinson fell off some stairs and the Japanese dates in '07 were postponed and the South African ones canceled altogether. The only funny thing was that there was already a blank spot in the Guns itinerary between ZA (early May) and Mexico (early June).
Of course, the official word is the one to go by. Right...?
Re: Fernando's link to leaks? And the craziness that is gnr
There are no conspiracy theories or "agendas". The Jagger interview was a few years before that 2006 implosion(sic, where are you?), and it wasn't talking trash. Only in the GNR forum world can someone mentioning a GNR reunion in a sentence be perceived as trash talking. Regardless of whether or not Richards fell out of a tree or Bill Cosby snuck into his bed and gave him a dutch oven leading to the cancelation. The show didn't happen.
Also, no one ever said that a reunion would hinge on opening for the Stones.
By the way, I was the second gunman on the grassy knoll.....
Welcome to the forum Mr. Divney. 
As you can see, we are all insane in our own unique way. I mention Jagger bringing up a reunion when he was probably being asked about any potential openers, and apparently that means I think the moon is made of cheese.
edit: I just googled 'Mick Jagger interview gnr" hoping to strike gold immediately, and it brought this thread up on page 2. Funny shit.

Keith falling out that tree was big news in the UK and his recovery was mentioned in the press regularly, this wasnt some sweep under the carpet and forget about it stunt.
Re: Fernando's link to leaks? And the craziness that is gnr
Wasn't the Tommy thing to do with his his sister or cousin thing being murdered and he didn't want it aired out so they used that story as a cover instead?
Think it was reported the GNR gear was on it's way to SA as well when it was cancelled.
Re: Fernando's link to leaks? And the craziness that is gnr
Whoever brought up Richards' crash-landing as a non-event? I didn't.
Yeah, Guns still toured in 2007 despite Tommy's wrist. But there were never shows announced for May. If the tour would've went on as planned, they would've done the Japanese and ZA shows in April and then basically sat on their asses for a month. There were many rumors of a South American leg in May, but the word from promoters was that it kept falling apart. Funny, when you think about it.
Tommy missed the February 07 show (or rather, a two-song appearance) due to the unfortunate deaths in the family. And it was most certainly aired out, because I remember Guns auctioning autographed shirts and merch in support for Tommy's family members and being very plain about their reasons.
And if the GNR gear was already sent to ZA during the cancellation, their road crew should've been fired already.
