Here Today... Gone To Hell!

GN'R At Rock In Rio 
Written by Administrator     
Monday, 20 February 2006 
The organisers of Rock In Rio (Lisbon) have confirmed to us that Guns N'Roses will be headlining the event on 27th May 2006.

Confirmation is set to appear on their website in the next 24 hours.
 
 
source: Sp1at!

Ok. lets give them the 24 hours!!!

 : ok:

I truly believe we'll have a full announcement and an outlined Gnr battle plan on how Axl plans to rule the world once again by the end of the week. :hihi:

Damn.

guess europe is really the place to be

gnr takeover

Lets bring up the street teams Mysteron!!  : ok:

*IF* this is true, then I'm pretty sure this is *NOT* how management wanted this going down.  Then again, I don't think the leak timing was particularly grand for them either.  Chaos is most likely to ensue.

-darknemus

Don't get your hopes high. As I said in the other threads: Even if it's confirmed, that doesnt mean ANYthing. They could easily cancel before the shows. Like 2001. Fuck, they can even cancel WHILE on tour. Like 2002.

Its true, and yeah I dont think management wanted these festivals to announce first. Im pretty sure Axl wanted to hold some sort of press conference and announce everything then...

yeah, but it seams much more likely that this will go right, since the album is near, and all the GNR buzz lately

Now sp1at is saying that they're confirmed for "Rock IM Park" on May 27?

I have no clue what the hell Rock Im Park is.

-darknemus

True dhat.............

Well, we can't be sure, maybe they gave them the "ok" to announce it...

Besides, if they want, they can announce more things at a press conference or a press release.

Sp1at arn't the best source to believe in

mygnrforum is a piece of shit. they keep deleting topics about rir..

As if we didn't hear that logic before. Never got thad sad smile from friends, when you told them "Yeah, I know, but THIS time is different!" ?
For other people we sound like smokers that try to quit for the 37th time.

true. Im sure things are on track now!

Interesting week its gonna be! ?: ok:

Rock Im Park is the brother festival of Rock Am Ring. They can't have announce it for May 27, it's gotta be June 2-4.

Darknemus, this could only lead to good things. Something needed to light a fire under their ass. Just like when the U2 cd was stolen. It pushed up the release of the record. After all this time, I don't feel sorry for Axl or management. They made their stance as cold and insensitive to the fanbase. Now they got a mini French Revolution on their hands...except they hopefully won't lose their heads. It will be an option if a record isn't released before these shows. :hihi:

I'd wait until an official announcement on this. ?Remember, Merck reamed sp1at.com and said what they report is rubbish.

Sp1at.com probably saw these other festival dates confirmed and decided to THINK RIO was confirmed so it'd look like sp1at heard it first.

If these dates are being currently booked, that makes these leaks WAY too coincidental. How about riding the buzz from the leaks by announcing a summer festival tour.............

Big Springsteen is saying there'll be a release date for CD on the next few DAYS.

a Reminder
Rock In Rio Lisboa will be broadcasted here in Brazil by Tv Globo and his channels (like Multishow)
In Europe, there will be broadcasts in tv too (Portugal too, obvious  Grin)
And for the people around the world, it'll be broadcasted Online .

So, there will definately a Pro-shot video !

yeah, i truly belive u have right there... ?:hihi: but i dont blame the excitment.. someone have waited since 1994.. for a new tour, and album, including me :D

No he meant Rock In Rio. Guns are set to play RIR on May 27th.

Sorry, I'm 100% ignorant on this.  What's Big Springsteen?  I hope its not what Bruce refers to his appendage as.

-darknemus

No, no, and no.

It was not a leap of faith conclusion.  It was based off information garnered from a source.  It wasn't just pulled out of thin air.

Ali

It does. You can't easily cancel the same event twice in a row. Especially when it's an important one for you.

Me too, of course. To be honest, it's hard for me to NOT get my hopes high. :D
I just sit here and repeat "Dont get excited...don't get excited" like a mantra.

GOOD REASON-- THEY COME FROM SP1AT

I do hope they have an album out before all these festivals. Album, maybe singles, video, festivals, tour..... would be a lovely order!  :beer:

just a joke. bruce springsteen = ?the boss, and the guy that runs that place calls himself big boss.

No, this time Sp1at is right. : ok:

I will be there : ok: : ok: :beer: :drool:

i`m PRETTY confident  that all this fuckin wait is over "soon" ( :hihi:)

CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS NOW!!!

People just like to bitch and whine about Sp1at because a) They try and make rumors sound official by overemphasizing them and b) because they got a few actual scoops and comments from band members.

Really, sp1at isn't different from any other "my brother's best friend's mom told me that" rumor, and we chat about plenty of those.

Merck supposedly confirmed NovaRock to Madison at MyGNR, so additional festivals won't be surprising. What, they're gonna go to Europe, play one festival, and go home? You can count on a few shows if all this is legit.

Gaurantee this will be confirmed within 2 days...

 :beer:

Well, I heard back from Merck again.

I asked him how many other festivals the band has been booked to play and if a full-blown tour had been booked.

He would only say, "You will see more if we announce more."

So, it soundds like a lot of dates are being booked.

I'll add this to my first post.


from madison at mygnr.com



Not that I respect Madison because I don't but at least Merck didn't call mygnr.com rubbish even though it is BUT merck made it perfectly clear his feelings on and towards sp1at and what they report so I'll wait for an official announcement on RIO : ok:

If you want the avian bird flu as well... :hihi:

shoco i'm staying with you this summer

Does anyone recall the order of events in 2002 when Guns starting touring?  I believe they did Asia first, then Europe... then VMAs and U.S.  It all started unfolding very quickly.  Might be very insightful to review the history.

it`s gonna be aq hot summer this year :hihi:

 :peace:

http://gnronline.com/


 still a sad website.  It's just screaming "UPDATE ME MOTHERFUCKER " :no:

This is what I've been hoping for!!! It was the only headlining slot left. In fact, this was firstly meant to be the "metal day". I guess they changed their minds... ;D
Anyway, I'm from from Portugal and they ALWAYS make the headling announcements in the news at 8pm. So let's wait a few hours.
I'm portuguese, so I can give you an update as soon as I hear something there.
Let's cross our fingers so that this is true :peace:
Cheers

Well, I think they'll update the site as soon as they announce it, cause lots of people will want to know if it's true...

Tickets are going on sale tonight at 0:00, so it's logical that the announce the last headliner today. Let's wait and see

Remember...that's the label's site.

Not the bands.

I actually suspect that's one of the reasons all the news is breaking today...because RIR is going to announce tonight.

Organiser's have confirmed to sp1at that Guns N' Roses will be there.

@#$%Funker

After reading all the posts/news today, you can't help but feel that something is just building up....a bonafide, official statment announcing the release date of CD and summer concert tour.....holy crap, can you imagine??  No sleep tonight I guess haha.

Rock in Rio is huge. 8)
This is a fantastic news.

let's all sit round the campfire and sing patience.  :hihi:

lol dude, your more than welcome but i dont think theyl be coming to ireland

didnt axl say that he wouldnt tour again untill the album was done after rock in rio 4?

The organisers of Rock In Rio (Lisbon) have confirmed to us that Guns N'Roses will be headlining the event on 27th May 2006.

Confirmation is set to appear on their website in the next 24 hours

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=48596

They did nothing to confirm outside of what has been posted here all day.

According to a posting on Sp1at.com, the organizers of the Rock In Rio (Lisbon) festival have confirmed that GUNS N' ROSES will be headlining the event on May 27. Confirmation is set to appear on the Rock In Rio web site in the next 24 hours.

In other news, GUNS N' ROSES manager Merck Mecuriadis has reportedly confirmed to MyGNR.com that GN'R are indeed playing the Nova Rock festival in Austria on June 15-17. When asked what other dates GN'R are playing over the summer, Merck reportedly responded, "You will see more if we announce more."

Also on the GN'R-related front, www.GunsNRosesOnline.de is reporting that GUNS N' ROSES will play the Rock am Ring festival on June 3-6 in Nurburgring, Germany. Meanwhile, TheNewGuns.com is reporting that the band are confirmed for the Gods of Metal festival, set to take place June 3-4 in Italy.

Confirmed/rumored dates so far:

May 27 - Lisbon, POR @ Rock In Rio (Lisbon)
Jun. 3-4 - ITA @ Gods of Metal
Jun. 3-6 - Nurburgring, GER @ Rock an Ring
Jun. 15-17 - Pannonia Fields, AUT @ Nova Rock

In a rare interview conducted by Rolling Stone magazine on Jan. 13, GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose promised fans that the band will be back in 2006 with the long-awaited "Chinese Democracy" album.

"People will hear music this year," Rose said. "'Chinese Democracy' is a very complex record. I am trying to do something different. Some of the arrangements are kind of like QUEEN."

He also added he is working on 32 songs for the album and 26 are finished out of which 13 will feature on the final album. Some songs include "Better", "There was a Time" and "The Blues".

Awesome : ok: How reliable is this though?

kool as fuckin hell !

this is the same way it happened 4 years ago,

for some reason guns chose the summer festivals in Europe rather than launching in the US.

metallica are confirmed for some of these dates aswell.

the one thing missing in 02 was new material that could be released. this time is looks like all systems go!

Rock on!!!!

It's being announced on portuguese news, which makes this AT LAST OFFICIAL : ok:

I hope this isn't like the last one, where they cancelled in 2004... : (

I wish I could see them

They announced it on the news??

What exactly did they say? Any words on the album as well?


/lastroots

What a glorious day to be a fan!  Once again, my workload suffers, and no, my boss is not concerned that the Nightrain is gearing up ;D

I'll be riding the nightrain for the whole day Gnr comes to my town. : ok:

Well to me, the big question now is:

Will gnr play mostly old material? or are we going to hear a lot of CD songs at these festivals??

I think Axl is going to play 7-8 new songs, along with some of the older material he never played on the last tour like Civil War, Yesterdays, Estranged, and god I am praying for Coma. :drool:

Nope, just the confirmation of their appearance. But there will be a report within 30minutes/one hour, so I will keep you updated
I'm SO FUCKIN' EXCITED about this!!! :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: ;D

Jesus H. Christ...I so want to go to this.  If anyone in the NYC area wants to take a trip to see Guns in rio, PM me...maybe if we get enough people we can organize a trip and get some group discount.  no joke.  Holy shit this is going to be legendary.

OH YES it will!!
and as I expected... Rock In Rio is the first date of the tour, the comeback show will be there again!! :beer:

by the way, people need to stop bashing sp1at. they've actually been sitting on this information for a few days and waiting for the festivals or sanctuary to announce it themselves.

but don't bash them, they've known about this for awhile...

Dudes, this means new songs.
No way is he still gonna play Appetite.

:Silenced Crowd:

"WAKE THE FUCK UP, TIME TO CALL THE IRSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

the wait is over : ok:

that is awesome..that gave me goosebumps! haha

hes gotta open with Jungle though...its just the perfect song to start a show

Wow, so many different things are happening, it's hard to keep up.

There you go ;)

CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS NOW!! :hihi:

could you translate the text? or anyone else?

how come you can't read that in english?  When you click the translation button it takes you to a page about STINK..Uh, I mean sting.

Wow things are moving fast.
Let CD release date be next.

The report I talked about was just shown on TV. It was basically the plain announcement.

They also said that the band promised to show up this time :rofl:

NO NEED!

Here is the English version!

http://rockinrio-lisboa.sapo.pt/artigo.html?id=644730&lang=en

injoy!

At what time? ?:hihi:

Nice.  Rio's confirmed, now.  What's the next big loop on this crazy roller coaster?

-darknemus

"It is expected that many international fans will travel to Lisbon to be there to hear the material on the new album ?Chinese Democracy? for the first time live."

Um, yeah....i REALLY hope I can vouch for this myself hahah.  I will represent the USA nicely I think :)

 :beer:

Jesus Christ , just a few hours ago I said the news was gunna start coming fast and furious , I didnt expect it all today though.  :o

it's on RIR's website! it's official. GN'R ARE BACK!

http://rockinrio-lisboa.sapo.pt/

At the risk of being off topic.....what does this mean for an album release date?  Is March still a possability?  Or will they tour and THEN release the album?  I feel like we are HOURS away from knowing all the answers!!!

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!

thinking the same here..... :peace:

Hours away is a lot better than Months / Years away as we've been in the past.  No disrespect, of course.  Its just this is the most activity we've seen in 3 years now.

-darknemus

Guns n ' Roses had been the band most requested for the users of the official site who, through email, had voted in this band

Congratulations to all of us!!!!!  : ok:

'Morley

how will the announcment come? should we turn on mtv , cnn? keep watching the sites? newswires? gnronline.com ?!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It will be everywhere, I'm sure.

Wouldn't surprise me if gunsnroses.com goes online at the same time, too.

-darknemus

Which means that you might have heard them from the record already...  ;)

i've been hitting that url for hours , nothing loads yet.

actually this is the only part that isn`t true :hihi:

why?

the leaked demos is what i think he meant

Guns n? Roses are coming to Rock in Rio-Lisboa!

Axl Roses? band will headline the 2nd day of the world?s biggest music event.

It?s confirmed: Guns n? Roses are coming to Rock in Rio-Lisboa to headline the 2nd day, May 27th. And with this confirmation, all World Stage headliners are now known.

The Axl Rose led band is responding to the thousands of fans who asked the band to come through the official site of the event.

This promises to be another memorable day for all who will come to the Bela Vista Park and more in specific for all those who have been waiting for the day that Guns would come.

Guns n? Roses was the most requested band by the official site users, amongst all bands, by all fans, whether Portuguese or international. It is expected that many international fans will travel to Lisbon to be there to hear the material on the new album ?Chinese Democracy? for the first time live.

In an interview with the American magazine Rolling Stone in January of this year, Axl Rose confirmed that this long awaited Guns n? Roses album was ?very complex? and that it would be a surprise for all the fans.

Axl followed that by saying that he was ?trying something different? and that certain arrangements would be very different from what the fans were expecting and probably closer to the sound of Queen. ?Better?, ?There Was A Time? and ?The Blues? are some of the titles of in total 26 new songs.

In 2001, the new version of Guns n? Roses performed at the third edition of Rock in Rio. More than 200.000 fans witnessed the return of Guns n? Roses, after 7 years away from the stage.

Axl Rose introduced the new band during a show of more than two hours, which was considered to be the best of the entire event. Today, 5 years later, the show of Guns n? Roses at the City of Rock promises to be a historic one, both for Rock in Rio and for Portugal.

no i meant chinese democracy, madagascar and the blues :peace:

They were the most requested band.. that has to be down to all of us!!! :peace: : ok:

Now I think we should all calm down (me specially :hihi:) and wait for the BIG announcement that seems to be just a few hours/days away.

We've all come such a long way to get here... Now that the moment is coming, I can only say that IT FEELS FUCKIN' GOOD! 8) 8) 8)

 :beer: :beer: :beer:

you sick maniacs did it.. ;D

Did you guys realise that???

"The most requested band for the users of the official site ???"

THIS is GREAT!!!!

'Morley

I was one of them ;D

oh, i think you misunderstood me...I wasn't complaining at all...i am just INCREDIBLY EXCITED!  My girlfriend works for an airline company and they get MASSIVE discounts for international flights.....Lisbon...HERE I COME :)

http://rockinrio-lisboa.sapo.pt/artigo.html?id=644722&lang=pt

Congratulations to everyone who stuck with the band and made this possible!! :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... step out of the way Weiland...

... the King's coming through...

 :smoking:

We know.

I'm glad I requested them :)

God Bless Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses.  2006 is the year !!  :peace:

Now it?s official

http://rockinrio-lisboa.sapo.pt/artigo.html?id=644722&lang=pt

how exciting. so its gonna be broadcasted?..

how do I get tickets? FUCK I HOPTE THERE IS A U.S TOUR

I would assume so - which means we have to find people that are going to record it.

I requested them about 30 times  ;D ;D ;D

I Feel ya

I'll be there, but I'll record it as well from portuguese TV.

they are BACK !

Let's have a beer on all of us  :beer:

this is so great!
after all these years of pain!
now guns n roses is back!

I'll drink to that  :beer:

Won't they just webcast it like RIR3? That would be one exciting night...

Official confirmation from RIR Lisbon:

http://rockinrio-lisboa.sapo.pt/artigo.html?id=644722&lang=pt

The news explains that GNR will introduce Chinese Democracy to the world, and it was the most requested band to play at the festival.
It also afirms that Axl stated that CD will be out in the middle of March*. Do they make confusion with all these information on the net or does uncle Axl told them something we officially still don?t know??? Time will tell.

*For some reason this part is not present in the english version of these same news.

Portugal rocks  8)

Be great if they open up with "14 years" :)

"14 years of silence, its been 14 years of PPAAAIIINNNN"

 :o

Umm... what..?

I can't wait to get these bootlegs :D :P

Sorry, I edited to include the link to the official news.

... but the Rock In Rio site is about as official as it gets...

... if it said "Axl states mid-March", then...gulp...mid-March it is.

Damn straight!

YYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I Live in Lisbon! I?m so fucking happy! I will bring my banner 3m long saying welcome back!

GUNS N ROSES ARE BACK!!!

what`s going on with cd to be released in march? ???

Oh Yeah Baby!!!! This is great and a huge show for Guns!!!!

Ok so does anyone know if this will be available on pay-per view or on a webcast steam??
Maybe we all should hound our cable or satellite operators and beg them to offer this on pay per view??

I'd give my right arm to be able to say that right now.

It says something like : in the same RS interview, in january, Axl stated the record would be out in march, and  that "it was  going to be more complex....bla bla bla" 

Seems like confusion to me

I?m also from lisbon  ;D and im going to be there without ANY FREAKIN DOUBT : ok: : ok: : ok: :peace:

In fact, after a second read... there are a lot of misinformation there: They say Axl stated that to RS, and we know he didn't. In other link they say the current formation has Josh Freeze and Dave Navarro... in other words, the guy who made that text doesn?t know a thing about GNR, and got a decade-dated information... sad but true... whatever, what does really matter is that Guns will be there and CD will come out this year!!!!

oh goodie! it feels good to live in Lisbon right now!!!!!
i just wonder who'll be on Lead Guitar...

"Who's headlining RIR V?"

"Some fat dude, with cornrows and jerseys..."

"They got a rapper to headline, what the fuck?!?!?"

"No dude, Axl Rose is back!"


That is a very likely conversation.

Yeah, from people who hate the band or Axl.

This is just fantastic news, Hannahat, I live in Brooklyn,pm  me...lol!!!!!!!!! I so wantr to fuckn to to this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

THIS IS AWESOME NEWS!!!!!

I've been checking the site each day to see when GN'R are listed and I check this morning and there is an awesome pic of Axl on the main screen!!!

Man, if ever there was a time that I hated Australia it would be now. Why am I stuck on this big, middle of no where, island????

Why can't it be in July!?! WHY???

I guess I'll just have to wait until the world tour...

Hey I'm in Australia too! It fucking sucks that it is so far away! I wanna go!

I live in Lisbon too ;D 8)

btw, you are ALL welcomed here for a big Gunsfest!!! :peace:

Yeah, and the saddest thing is that I'm actually going to Europe in July, so I'll miss them by a few weeks. And there is no way I can go any earlier. How annoying.

Where in Australia?  I was there last year and would rather be there then in NYC :)

Fantastic news : ok:

Me and some friends are heading for Lisbon!! Hope to cya there!!  : ok:

i'm going too!

we should have a gunners meeting like last time...!

Just in case some dont believe it :

QUOTE(madison @ Feb 20 2006, 07:30 PM)

Yes, he's (Merck) now confirmed RIR.

Yeah, I really needed madison's confirmation to believe it... RIR's official site wasn't enough...  ::)

why are you bitter/sarcastic about that post? i'm glad merck confirmed it. if you don't remember, gnr has supposedly been "booked" to do tours through europe without management or axl even knowing... so i think it's important that merck acknowlged it.

i thought mods here didn't encourage bashing of other forums...


sheesh... some people...

Tickets are now on sale:

http://rockinrio-lisboa.sapo.pt/bilheteira.html?lang=en

OH nooooow I believe... ?:hihi:

 Wow. This is amazing. I'm almost speechless. He's finally decided to get back in the ring. I read somewhere in this thread someone said this is broadcast on the net. Is that really true?

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=24984.0

Fuck yeah folks. Awesome. GNR

Sorry for asking such a dumb question. I just woke up awhile ago and this was the first thread I went to.

Your going to!? Great! SHould meat  up! Hope the plane tickits isnt too expencive! :D

Well that makes me feel a little better....

I'm confused though, are they playing in the May or the June dates? and, like, *why* are there two seperate dates for RiR in different months...??

its over 2 weekends, end of may, and begining weekend of june : ok:

LOL thanks. I porbably could have figured that out if I had actually looked at a calendar. Ahem.

check other threads before posting

did you go last time? i met some gunners at the hard rock, which one was you?

i had a ticket, but didn't go since gn'r didn't go..., but i heard about the meeting and it sounded awsome! time to start a gunners meeting thread!

Go to the GNR On Tour section of the board.  You can discuss upcoming shows and plans to meet there.     :)

i'm going to buy my ticket right now :)
and a gunner reunion could take place at the hard rock cafe the day before! and on the next day we'll storm towards the first row!
fuck yeah! "it's all happening"!!!!!

This is gonna be some summer folks ......rir followed by the return to slane castle in august ....nothing surer .

Hey vincenzo looks like we have 2 bigs gigs to look forward to.

See you all in slane with a bit of luck.

Fuck, so many great things in the Gnr world in such a few days !! Think I'm gonna have a heart attack :beer:

This time it's all taking place. This is the year folks. GNR is back.

Funny how they used Rock In Rio 2 in 1991 as a sort of comeback show, then in 2001 with Rock In Rio III, and now in 2006 with Rock In Rio V.
Well if he goes back into hiding after this, we will know what festival will bring him back again.

Also, is GNR the first band to play RIR 3 times?

not yet.

Funny how axl has to be in court like a week before RIR in that case vs duff & slash. There will be some real good rants at the show if he loses the case, Itll still be real fresh in his mind.

he would have if he showed up in 2004, now i'm not sure anymore.

1991, 2001, 2006 is pretty unique to me/

That would be some gig to see  :drool:

i just got my ticket! and i bought one for adler's appetite 2 this week, apparently he got another cover band to play with lol. that should be fun!

I'll be there!!!

Axl please don't diapointet me,because I live in Serbia,so i have to pay a Viza to go in country of EU

It's a shame that I don't have money to go to Portugal and see them...but I have family im Portugal, maybe I can go! :hihi:

If Rock in RIO was still in RIO, I'd go! But the important is that GUNS N' ROSES WILL PERFORM THIS FUCKING YEAR!!!!!!!

Sting will do that too. 2001, 2004, 2006

I live in lisbon too :beer: if i ever love this city
I almost had a heart attack this morning, one day without seing the board or listened to the news (had a real horrible day), so tday washing my teth, the tv was on the maine news channel and i heard paradise city :o, so i run to the kitchen and there it was Guns n roses is confirmed RIR and the tickets go on sale today, almost swaload my toothbrush ;D .
Reward comes to those who wait, 27 May first row i'll be there

I live near Lisbon and also gonna be there !! I couldn?t be there back in 92 but now I can?t miss it... :D

Only 2 months and    ;)  :smoking: 27 May is comming !!!

just though i'd let you guys know the darkness are also playing in RIR.
sorry if this thread belongs elsewhere....
but i think it's amazing to see them with gn'r... 2 great rock n roll bands!
i'd expect another band to complete the line up next month or so. in 2004 they added an international band per day to the bill in may or april... so they should do the same this year. : ok:

Sweet i love the darkness there awsom i want there new CD so bad... this probs should be in In the jungle  : ok:

Cool!!! The Darkness kick some serious ass!!!

May 27th looks like a really great day! The Darkness, Pitty(brazilian band, really good!!!) and GUNS N' ROSES!!!

It's a shame that it's not gonna be broadcast to brazil  :'(

where did u get that info man?

damn meanbone u bet me to it ;D

the information is on the official site for rock in rio  : ok: (at least in the portuguese version )

thxx ill definitly check that out

it's amazing : ok:

GNR should tour with the Darkness, I mean this is a ROCK band, I have nothing against A7x or Bullet for my Valentine, but they are too Metal for a GNR Gig. GNR is not Metal, it's Rock. The audience is pretty different. Bands like The Darkness, The Subways or Jet would be more appropriate to open for GNR.

i would say A7X would be perfect dont u sound the similarities between the vocals of A7X and GNR

BTW sick lineup for Rock i rio .. i wish i could go  :'(

PW, remember, Pitty is the name of an artist that has a band but it's not the name of the band itself. Anyway, Pitty and her band are pretty good and will kick ass!!!

The Darkness spit on the grave of any rock n' roll band.

They are SHIT. Their music is mocking rock music and their music actually is cheesy as shit.

WHy do u say that i find there music sound (classic) i like them their not normal but who is these days

Yeah, I know that Pitty is her name, but if you buy the cd it won't be labeled as "Pitty and Band", is Just like Sebastian Bach, the band only has his name because people knows his name! Is the same with Pitty...

no, not at all really.  AX7 sounds more like sevendust (vocally that is).

well was that before or after the lead was vocally damaged im talking about after : ok:

PW, your arguments justify what I'm saying: the same thing happens to Rita Lee, Morrissey ?and even Lionel Richie ( :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:). Legaly and comercialy, they are the artists, it's their names, and they have a band to do live shows and studio recordings with them.
If Pitty fires the band, her next album will still be a "Pitty" album... in this case, legally and comercialy doesn't matter who the band members are.
BTW, we are totally off topic, if you want to debate more things about it let's do it via PM, ok!?
Abra??o!!

--------------------

"Pitty" pode at? ser o que ela e os outros integrantes consideram uma banda, mas para a gravadora, para o mundo jur?dico e pro p?blico em geral Pitty ? ela e s?.

Yes, I'm not denying that the band is Pitty plus a bunch of hired musicians, it is, just like Guns N' Roses!!!

But the thing is: even though the band is based in one person, all the things regarding the band itself(like writings) are done based on the band's opinion, not just in one person's opinion!

Yes, Pitty owns the band and she can do whatever she wants to do, but if the whole band has their opinion taken seriously and, most important, if those opinion's are actually used on their records, shows or whatever, it's not just about one person anymore, it's a BAND! But a band with the name of the owner, that's all!

It's not like Roberto Carlos or Britney Spears, who has their bands but they are, in fact, hired musicians with no opinion in the music making!

Agree, in fact it's a band, legally and comercially speaking it's not.

Yes, legally and comercially it isn't, but musically it is!

Man, yet another reason why I shouldn't live in Australia!! Though I am seeing the Darkness in April, but it would be way cooler to see them and Guns N Roses straight after.....Goddamn.

And what about me? I live in Rio de Janeiro!!! This stupid festival should be HERE for god's sake!!!  :'(

The Darkness AND Guns N' Roses in one night?

Damn, that will be a night to remember...  :beer:

I've seen the Darkness in NYC, got their first album signed by all 4 of them. Amazing band.

The Darkness and GnR, THATS DUCKIN TITTIES!!

I hope they tour together in North America. I'd much rather have that then AX7 or NIN.

for those will go to the show, enjoy Pitty.

it's a good rock brazilian singer...

 :peace:

I guess November Rain will take a whole new meaning now...

"So never mind THE DARKNESS... because we still can find the way"


 :hihi:

Unfortunately, The Darkness second album didn't reach the expectations. I don't mean sales-wise, it's not as good.

I saw them live in Dec. '04. Not bad, there are ok. It was a fun show. I remember reading a thread here a year and a half ago about the similarities between GNR and The Darkness (and the possibility of a join tour). Funny how some things do come true.

I think that their albums grow on you.

And you have to listen to their music really loud cause it's basically music for partying....

Anyway, I saw Guns in 2002, Darkness in 2004 and I'll see Guns and Darkness in 2006.

What's next?

Guns (re-united), Darkness and Led Zeppelin (re-united with Bonham's son) in 2008?  ;D

Christos, you are a lucky guy, enjoy the gigs and don't forget the reviews  :peace:
You'll have a great summer  8)

That's the same has saying that Kentucky Fried Chicken should exist only in Kentucky...

Rock In Rio is a trademark like Coca Cola. Medina said that bringing foreign bands to Brazil is much more expensive than bringing them to Europe.

Well, you'll get at least 2 reviews from me. Lisbon and Madrid.

I got a ticket for Paris and if all goes well, a third review will be posted...  : ok:

Haha, loves it I do!  :rofl:

I like The Darkness.  I'm glad they're hitting Lisbon, that's going to be an awesome show, anyway.  Especially that GNR will be there.  I hope it's televised in Canada!

PW, rumor has it that next year will be our time (RIR will be back here - hopefully with GNR).

Gun N`Roses RIR broadcast for Brasil, M?xico e Argentina
TNT Chanel
Check iT

 :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

interpretor please

I can't translate, but here's the gist:

TNT (it's a Turner network) is going to be broadcasting RIR in Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina (not the US, apparently).

They don't mention GnR...and usually their broadcast of concerts consists of an edited down version.  Not always, but usually.

It'll be a free broadcast.

"Os concertos de TNT tamb?m incluem alguns dos mais importantes festivais e eventos internacionais de m?sica, como Rock in Rio e Fashion Rocks."

"The TNT concerts also include some of the most important festivals and international events of music, as Rock in Rio and Fashion Rocks. "

well thats upsetting as im in the UK

It's written TNT used to transmit big concerts  like RIR, not sayinh that will do that this year.

And THAT'S why I said I couldn't translate. :)  My spanish, especially the tenses, is rustier than a junkyard truck.

I think Dellorto may be right...the tense on that may be past tense.

so will brasil,mexico and argentina be the only countrys where you can watch rir?

Unknown, as of yet.

The partnership that has the broadcast rights consists of XM, aol, and some other players.  XM and AOL certainly have the capacity to do a broadband webcast of the event (for a fee, probably) or to put it up live on XM, exlcusively, with highlights to follow on aolmusic.  But none of that has been announced yet....and considering how little time is left until the show...I'd think they'd want to announce their plans soon.

oh come on they have to let everyone in the world see this show its going to fucking kill. so many good band will be there and its Guns first major show!

Viva Mexico !!! ?;D

Since I live in Mexico, I'll be really glad to tape it and distribute it for all of you guys!.....

 8)

yeah!!!!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

im from argentina!!!!!! =D !!!!!

but really i dont think they are going to broadcast rir live, i think they are going to make an especial with the highlights of the shows

I hope someone broadcast the complete Guns show, and not only the highlights  :)

Hi, I`m Brazilian
I saw a  commercial in TNT (cable tv) about the concert and after it a look for a site with information about it to post you.
Just it.


OBS : I think that info about broadcast should have a topic, but oK... :peace: :peace: :peace:
             only a suggestion

My god! perhaps I forgot to speak/read portuguese...the text was in the past!!! why transmmit  only to those countries and not to around the world?

pilferk: in Brazil we spaeak portuguese!!! ;D

Heh, and that explains, even more, just how rusty my SPANISH is.  I couldn't tell the difference....but using my rudimentary spanish skills seemed to be able to get the gist.  It does explain why so much of it looked unfamiliar to me, though.  I think I did pretty good, considering. :)  High School Spanish was 15+ years ago, after all...and I never took Portuguese.

Rede Globo will problably show the GNR show, last RIR they showed live just the GNR show... this time wont be different IMO

TNT will NOT broadcast the RIR live here in Brasil.

http://tntla.turner.com/br/specials/tnt_concert/rockinrio/index.jsp

They will broadcast only in August and we don't even know if its gonna be the full show or just some edited shit. Also, they said it's exclusive here, so one could think the gig will not be broadcasted live at all here.

I don't know if TNT will broadcast RIR live to Argentina or Mexico, because Brasil has a different contract. It's very possible, tho.

Rede Globo will NOT broadcast anything live too. Last time GN'R performed, RIR was actually in Rio. The RIR4 was already in Portugal and they just showed some shitty clips. Remember, Globo can't put Guns N' Roses on tv at 8pm here because they had the soaps, news and shit like that.

yeah, you're right, but what I know is that Roberto Medina had a contract with Rede Globo to show some headliners live or a edit show from some big artists... maybe that

Hey get Beta on stage now !!!  : ok:

International TV coverage of Rock in Rio-Lisboa

The success of the 2004 broadcast has resulted in interest from many new international TV channels. Without any doubt, there will be tremendous excitement in Lisbon's City of Rock in 2006 as the world's biggest international music stars are scheduled to perform at Rock in Rio Lisboa, the world's largest and most prestigious music event. The concert will again be televised around the globe and those who are not able to make the trip to the City of Rock on May 26th, 27th or June 2nd, 3rd and 4th, will be able to follow the event on TV, albeit in most countries at a later date.

The 2004 event was not only broadcast around the planet, TV hosts and their crews from more than 10 countries came to Lisbon to shoot their own additional material and interviews. These included: RTL Holland (which broadcast more than 4 hours to their Dutch viewers), TV4 Sweden, DRTV Denmark and DBB Indonesia, to name but a few. And the most popular music program on TVE Spain, "Musica Uno" included special segments about Rock in Rio?Lisboa in several of its Saturday broadcasts; before, during and after the event.

The success of the 2004 broadcast has resulted in interest from many new international TV channels and quite a few have already scheduled Rock in Rio-Lisboa in their 2006 line-up. But only Portugal will see the entire event live. In most of the rest of the world one-hour Specials of each day will be broadcast, while some countries will air a one- or two-hour overall highlight show.

A broadcast schedule for each of the main markets around the world will be posted on this site as it becomes available in the months leading up to the event.

For all information about the international TV broadcast rights, please contact Karen Riddell at rockinrio@comcast.net.

I'm praying for a US broadcast...

i second that !

Please broadcast in England! Mike

Yeah me to we need to know soon so I can get sign up for who's showing it.

Will it be broadcasted live on the net as well? Audio or video?

-Eirik

Oh man I hope that RTL does that again  :beer:

Is there someone planning to record that from HDTV? :yes:

I know it will air in our TV in Portugal but yes it would be damn cool if you could see it as well... and i?m sure ppl will then share it... I will be there and try to take some pictures lol, I just hope Axl, as he did once, don?t jump on me and smack my camera lol :rofl:sorry! ;D

Most likely AOLMusic will have the show up either live, or shortly after.

They recently did a concert through Network Live with Jack Johnson and frieds live from the Kakua Music Festival.? The press reports seemed to indicate this was a "test run" leading up to Network Live's plans for RIR.? So I'd expect something similar for RIR.

There's been speculation that AOLMusic MIGHT have RIR as more premium content (ie: charging a fee for access) but they haven't announced anything yet.

I'd expect, if they're going to do that, we would see an announcement over the next week or two.

Anyway, this is where you'll find info, I'd think, if/when anything is announced:
