Resurgent rockers Guns N' Roses [ tickets ] are slowly unveiling an itinerary that's blanketing the West, with three more cities added to the band's schedule in recent days.

The latest confirmed dates for frontman Axl Rose and his group are set for Sept. 29 in Bakersfield, CA, Sept. 30 in Reno, NV, and Oct. 5 in San Diego. Tickets for all three shows, as well as recently announced gigs in Fresno and Sacramento, CA, are scheduled to go on sale Saturday (8/26).

GN'R is now scheuded to visit seven cities--all in California or Nevada--during September and October. More dates are expected.

The most recent major US tour by GN'R took place in 2002. That troubled outing was cut short with more than a dozen shows remaining on its schedule after frontman Axl Rose failed to show up for two gigs. The band recently wrapped up a European trek.

Rose is the only remaining original member of GN'R. The group is currently rounded out by keyboardist Dizzy Reed, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboardist Chris Pitman, drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia, and guitarists Robin Finck, Richard Fortus and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal.

GN'R has been working the road in advance of its supposedly soon-to-be-released album, "Chinese Democracy." The disc, which has been in the pipeline for about a decade, and the release of which has been delayed repeatedly over the years, will be the group's first collection of original material since the early '90s. No specific release date has been announced.
