During the course of this tour, [[Izzy Stradlin]] and [[Sebastian Bach]] made frequent guest appearances. The European dates played to over 700,000 people during 32 shows in 18 countries.

The band brought [[You're Crazy]], [[Used to Love Her]] and Down On The Farm for some dates. [[Better (Guns N' Roses song)|Better]], I.R.S. and There Was a Time made their live-debut reinforcing rumors about a [[Chinese Democracy]] release in 2006.
