Chinese Democracy Tour adalah tur keliling dunia oleh Band hard rock Guns N Roses untuk mempromosikan album yang lama tertunda  Chinese Democracy.

Tur dimulai pada tahun 2001. Tahun itu band ini memainkan tiga tanggal di AS dan satu di Brasil, sedangkan 2002 tur mereka termasuk Asia, Amerika Utara dan Eropa beberapa tanggal. Band ini tidak tur lagi sampai Mei 2006, ketika tur Amerika Utara lagi dan melakukan tur besar dari Eropa.

Pada bulan yang sama kelompok bermain Korea Selatan untuk pertama kalinya, serta dua tanggal di Jepang. Sejak 2010 Tur tersebut dilanjutkan dengan konser di Amerika Utara, Amerika Selatan / Amerika Tengah, Eropa dan Australia. Pada akhir 2010, seluruh tur telah menarik penonton total sekitar 4.000.000 orang. Tur sepuluh tahun datang ke dekat pada hari terakhir 2011, dengan acara Malam Tahun Baru di Las Vegas.

 Sejarah Anggota Band 
Sebagian besar band tetap stabil sepanjang tur: sang vokalis Axl Rose, keyboardist dan backing vokalis Dizzy Reed, bassis dan backing vokalis Tommy Stinson, dan keyboardist, programmer dan vokalis dukungan Chris Pitman. Perubahan lineup utama adalah dalam bentuk gitaris ritem (Paul Tobias dari 2001 hingga 2002, Richard Fortus dari tahun 2002 sampai sekarang), gitaris utama pendamping Finck (Buckethead dari 2001 sampai 2004, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal dari tahun 2006 sampai sekarang) dan drumer ( Bryan "Brain" Mantia dari tahun 2001 hingga 2006 Frank Ferrer dari tahun 2006 sampai sekarang). Tur 2006/2007 lineup-Rose, Reed, Stinson, Pitman, Finck, Fortus, Thal dan Ferrer-tetap untuk menyelesaikan album, dirilis pada tahun 2008. Finck bergabung Nine Inch Nails pada tahun 2008, dan digantikan oleh mantan gitaris Sixx: AM DJ Ashba pada tahun 2009.

 Latar Belakang 
Setelah Tour Use Your Illusion, yang berlangsung selama lebih dari dua tahun dan mengunjungi 27 negara, dan merilis album sampul "The Spaghetti Incident?" pada bulan November 1993,band ini mulai menulis materi baru. Hubungan antara anggota band mulai memburuk, bagaimanapun, dan masa depan Guns N 'Roses diragukan. Sebagai anggota mengalihkan fokus mereka sendiri sisi-proyek ketegangan mulai tumbuh.

Gilby Clarke adalah yang pertama untuk meninggalkan band, dilaporkan karena dipecat pada bulan Juni 1994. Pada tanggal 30 Oktober 1996 diumumkan bahwa gitaris Slash telah resmi meninggalkan band, setelah tidak terlibat sejak tahun 1995 karena hubungan yang buruk dengan vokalis Axl Rose . Drummer Matt Sorum dipecat dari band setelah argumen dengan gitaris Paul Tobias, dan Duff McKagan menjadi anggota asli terakhir yang meninggalkan pada tahun 1997. Dengan hanya satu yang tersisa anggota asli, Axl Rose, dan satu anggota lainnya dari lineup "Use Your Illusion", Dizzy Reed, Guns N 'Roses mulai mencari musisi baru, sedangkan mantan anggota dilanjutkan dengan solo karier mereka masing-masing dan band, dengan Slash, McKagan,dan Sorum kemudian membentuk Velvet Revolver dengan vokalis Stone Temple Pilots, Scott Weiland pada tahun 2003

Robin Finck menjadi gitaris band ini pada tahun 1997, diikuti segera tahun depan oleh drummer Josh Freese dan bassis Tommy Stinson. Finck meninggalkan band pada tahun 1999 untuk bergabung kembali ke band lamanya Nine Inch Nails sebelum band ini merekam dan merilis lagu baru pertama mereka dalam enam tahun dalam bentuk "Oh My God" . Sejumlah perubahan Band terjadi pada tahun 2000, termasuk kepergian Freese, mempekerjakan Buckethead (gitaris) dan drummer Bryan "Brain" Mantia,dan kembalinya Robin Finck . Seiring dengan perubahan ini datang kabar bahwa Guns N 'Roses berencana tur di musim panas tahun 2001, dan akan bermain di festival Rock in Rio pada bulan Januari.

 Pertunjukkan pemanasan 

Acara pemanasan pertama untuk tur mendatang Eropa diumumkan pada bulan Desember 2000 sebagai kinerja Hari Tahun Baru di House of Blues di Las Vegas . Hal ini juga dikabarkan bahwa Chinese Democracy ditunggu-tunggu Cina akan akan dirilis pada bulan Juni 2001, dimana European Tour dijadwalkan akan promosi Guns N 'Roses -. kemudian terdiri dari vokalis Axl Rose, gitaris utama Buckethead dan Robin Finck, gitaris Paul Tobias (yang bergabung pada tahun 1994 untuk menggantikan Gilby Clarke), bassis Tommy Stinson, drummer Brain dan keyboardists Dizzy Reed (masih dengan band sejak bergabung pada tahun 1990) dan Chris Pitman (yang bergabung antara tahun 1998 dan 2000) - menyelesaikan kinerja pertama band dalam tujuh tahun, yang dipuji sebagai "kemenangan kembali "oleh majalah musik Rolling Stones. Band tampil beberapa lagu baru, termasuk" Oh My God "(dirilis sebagai single pada tahun 1999)," The Riad N' Bedouins "," Chinese Democracy "," Street of Dreams "(semua kemudian dirilis pada Chinese Democracy) dan " Silkworms "(yang masih belum pernah dirilis pada 2012), termasuk sebagian besar lagu-lagu asli dan 'klasik' seperti" Welcome to the Jungle "," Paradise City "," November Rain "dan" You Could Be Mine ". The Las Vegas show diikuti dua minggu kemudian oleh kinerja di Rock in Rio di Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Kinerja menampilkan daftar set yang sama, yang juga termasuk debut live lagu baru "Madagascar".MTV memuji kinerja sebagai "batu penjuru dari malam ketiga festival [...]", meringkas sebagai "sebuah pertunjukan yang menarik."

 2001 European Tour 
Axl bersama formasi baru GNR sering muncul di publik dan muncul di MTV pada tahun 2002 menyanyikan gabungan lagu Welcome to The Jungle, Madagascar dan Paradise City. Konser Chinese Democracy World Tour telah dimulai dari 1 Januari 2001 dan sampai sekarang masing terus berlangsung (setidaknya ini akan memecahkan rekor sebagai tour terlama di dunia??), banyak personel yang silih berganti dalam formasi Chinese Democracy ini.

Axl sesumbar bahwa sedang merampungkan album barunya, dan akan diluncurkan. Formasi anggota baru, kemudian bocor ke publik, seperti gitaris Robin Finck,shredder bertopeng Buckethead, dan anggota lama GN'R era Use Your Illusion, Dizzy Reed, begitupula lagu baru yang dinyayikan melalui live yang mulai digelar tahun itu pula walupun harus berbagi panggung dengan band lain, seperti Linkin Park,Avenged Sevenfold dan Hoobastank.

Tahun 2001, New Gn’R manggung di Rock in Rio III. Luar biasa, antusias penonton seakan menghilangkan ada atau tidaknya Gn’R baru. Penonton menikmatinya. Sepanjang tahun 2001-2002, New Gn’R melakukan tour, baik itu di AS ataupun Eropa, baik yang sukses maupun yang dilengkapi dengan kerusuhan karena konser tidak jadi. Lagi-lagi Axl berulah, disalah satu konsernya di AS, ternyata Axl memilih nonton basket di kamar hotel daripada berada diatas penggung live performance.

# *First show of the Chinese Democracy World Tour and it's in China. As the band came on late, maybe 90 minutes after the opening band.**First Japanese show of the tour in front of 30,000 people. One of GN'R's fog machines was mounted way up high in the lights blew up right before showtime, showering the stage with slippery fog oil. GN'R ended up being 40 min late, while tech guys used just about every towel in the stadium to make the stage safe.***In a surprise appearance, the band played a set consisting of "Welcome to the Jungle", "Madagascar", and "Paradise City". The performance was meant to be kept a secret, but some New York radio outlets announced the performance earlier in the day.

 2004 Rock in Rio Lisbon 
Setelah tur 2002 dibatalkan band ini masuk ke hiatus sampai mereka dijadwalkan untuk bermain di Rock in Rio Lisboa pada 1 Mei 2004. Namun gitaris Buckethead meninggalkan band pada bulan Maret 2004 dan penampilan mereka dibatalkan dan Axl Rose membuat pernyataan berikut:

"Band ini telah dimasukkan ke dalam posisi yang tidak bisa dipertahankan oleh gitaris Buckethead dan keberangkatan sebelum waktunya. Atas nama Guns N 'Roses dan diri saya meminta maaf kepada para fans yang berencana untuk melihat kami di Rock In Rio - Lisbon. Festival dan tradisi berarti banyak bagi saya secara pribadi dan saya sangat tidak menikmati dirampok oleh salah satu dari kita sendiri kesempatan untuk menjadi artis pertama yang bermain untuk ketiga kalinya. Saya juga ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada mereka yang memilih untuk merangkul peran Buckethead dalam GNR dan mendukung baris baru kami sampai. Kami sangat menghargai kontribusi Bucket dan tetap terbuka untuk 'diskusi' karena ada masalah jelas beberapa untuk menyelesaikan. Sementara itu daripada berkutat pada hal yang negatif, Guns akan bergerak maju dan mengejutkan (tanpa memberikan rincian apapun) ini set disayangkan keadaan mungkin telah memberikan kita kesempatan untuk mengambil rekaman kami bahwa salah satu langkah ekstra lebih lanjut. Terlepas kami berharap untuk mengumumkan tanggal rilis dalam beberapa bulan ke depan."

Buckethead meninggalkan GNR, menurut manajernya, karena alasan GNR dalam ketidakmampuan untuk menyelesaikan album atau tur.
