invited by Guns N’ Roses

The group began touring the United States in promotion of the album, but in November was invited by Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose to perform in Vancouver as the opening warm-up act for the Chinese Democracy Tour , just three days before it was due to begin. Speaking about the news, Margera revealed that CKY had to cancel two of their own shows in California in order to travel to the Guns N’ Roses concert, but admitted that he was “psyched because that’s probably the biggest tour of [the] year”. However, due to a delayed flight blamed on “mechanical troubles”, Rose failed to arrive to Vancouver in time and the show had to be cancelled, inciting riots started by audience members. It was later announced that CKY would return to perform on the remainder of the United States leg of the tour, which was scheduled to run until January 2003. It was ultimately cancelled almost a month early.
