Here Today... Gone To Hell!

 Lenny Kravitz has just been confirmed; other acts soon to follow. I think we should all stay tuned.

by what do you mean "activity"

more touring, or dare I Say it

Chinese democracy starts now!!!!111111oneoneubaone!!

Chinese Democracy starts now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't we still speculate on this? At least he posted a link so we can see what bands are confirmed to play there. Or was there a thread about "Rock in Rio 2008" already (and I don't mean the rumour about GnR going to tour South America because it's a different thing)?


(*edit* Typo... I simply can't write.  :P ::) )

Repost....

Btw... there's any petition to get GN'R in RIR2008? :hihi:

i didn't any reason for gnr show there

Sorry to break it to you but RIR 2008 will take place in Madrid not in Lisbon. And yes, I heard Lenny Kravitz is confirmed.

Let's hope so...Axl said he loves playing Rock In Rio

I think most people knew that already...? ??? It was said on the other thread.

*edit* Or did I get something wrong, because the website still says Lisboa?!?
*edit # 2* I skipped most geography classes but isn't Lisboa in Portugal? At least Madrid is definitely in Spain...

BTW, why is the website only in Spanish, I thought RIR is kind of an international thing already?! The only word I can understand is "newsletter". And I don't want it if it's in Spanish too!

Rock in Rio 2008 will take place both in Lisbon (May 30 and 31, June 6, 7 and 8.) and Madrid (June 27 and 28, July 4, 5 and 6).

Rock in Rio Lisbon site : http://rockinrio-lisboa.sapo.pt/

Rock in Rio Madrid site : http://www.rockinriomadrid.terra.es/

Lenny Kravitz will be the headliner in Lisbon on May 30.

10 dates of three calender months,  that's a long fes.

Thaks for the info, I got it wrong. :)

Last time GNR was announced for RIR was the 20. Feb...

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1557

Just in case you guys are interested... Metallica has been confirmed to play in Lisbon and The Police in Madrid.  ::)

It'd be great if they play this show again...they showed it live last time and Axl came out with a bottle of whiskey for Jungle...lol.

I think it was Cristal actually..

That pretty much solidified Axl's position as "coolest mother on the planet".

Hope they'll play here as well! A new tour round Europa would be nice again  :beer:

If Gnr play RIR without a released album it would be a joke.

you could of said that about rir 2006,
they played rir 2001, and then again in 2006 , but no record between 5 years?
isnt that a joke then?

If I have a choice to see gnr live or not, I would choose to see them live...

oops sorry. i meant to say  "if gnr gnr play RIR again without a release"

^ :o
Most people would see RIR as a good thing in any case!

have gnr ever played rir WITH an album?

I think they should play RIR and announce the released date during the show. That'd be awesome.

In 1992 i think... to support UYI.

nope, jan 1991.

Nope, as Nightfall said, January of  1991, the album wasn't out yet.

I'm sure the organizers would love to see GN'R there considering the past.


Personally I have some nice memories of seeing GN'R for the first time on the 2006 tour in the warm Lisbon night.



/jarmo

me too, me too!  : ok: haha

Sooooooo, since last time they played RIR Lisbon, now it?s RIR Madrid?s turn!!! : ok:

( Cross fingers for that to happen   ;D )

Me three! Great times. It was the first time I ever saw Guns live. Will remember that forever. Best night of my life definitely.

So far...

If GNR dont play at RIR I dont see a Euro tour this summer...

Tokio Hotel as a headliner at RIR?! What a crock of shit... That will for sure bee the bubblegum teenibopper day...

It would be great if gn'r did rir again, last time was fuckin' awesome!!!!

great! :rofl:
I gather they granted that little german girls request. :beer:

'

that's it, the world needs CD more then i ever thought :o

WHo are Tokio Hotel?

a glam pop band. cute cute. :hihi:


haha in the other RIR thread there was a moving story about a girl who prays to see tokio hotel opening for GNR. :rofl:

I don?t think they are the headliners. They?re just the only band confirmed so far for that day...

Well, there's still some names to fill the 6th of June... let's hope magic will happen again! : ok:

No those are the headliners for each day. Shakira was added today and the current schedule is below. GNR is obviously a headlining name, so if they play, I'd expect them to play on the 27th and open the Madrid show.

A great night indeed!!! Two years ago at this time I was planning the trip.  Had basically 3 months to wait, that day came and went faster than fast, an experience I will never forget no doubt. :)

you guys notice the Axl silhouette?

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

That silouette is groovey!  ;)

Let the speculation begin.  Well, I guess it already has.

What will happen in 5 days (28/02)?

I can't speak spanish/portuguese (?) but I guess that's what they mean by that ad.

*edit*

Oh, I think they will start to sell tickets on 28/02.

The tickets will be available.  :)

^LOL you beat me to it. I was using an online dictionary.  ;D

How long have this silhouette been up? If its just came up, i guess it could mean something... :-\

this would be sweet of course.... could be the start of something big!!

I don't think it's been there for more than a couple of days...? At least not on the main page.

They could be using it because it's not "really" a picture of Axl and it just looks cool.  (But did they really think we wouldn't recognize him?  :P )

Sounds bad ass to better its no where near the US of A lmao but still good news!!!

I really hope Axl's gonna' be performing at this gig!!!  :yes:

If he does show up, I bet he plays a couple of new songs we haven't heard yet!!!  :rant:

Considering all the rumours as of late, it would be frigging awesome to hear some new stuff from these guys!!!  :drool:

Not sure if we'll see Guns in action again until there's a release date and/or plan of action given to the public.  I'm more sure that we won't hear any NEW songs performed live until then.

It'd be great to see Guns out on the road period. But like Faldor said, I'm skeptical whether or not that'll happen without an album. The idea seems to be getting it out and then touring in direct support, but I could be wrong. Some Activity > Little Activity.

I don't want to tear anybody's expectations down, but I have an "insider" at the organization and she told me that she hasn't heard anything regarding GN'R.
This doesn't mean it's not possible, as some of these negotiations are held in big secrecy and sometimes only one or two people know what's really going on.
She just told me that they are holding up a BIG BIG name for the night of 28th of February (the night before the start of the selling).
Oh and I remember you that two years ago, GN'R were announced at the last night before the start of selling of the tickets, so we can only hope...

Cant see it happening TBH


like the other fellas said on here,

Only when Axl gives us a release date / plan of action
will they then tour again...

I seriously doubt it,

the Big name is probably some shit like Fergie or crap like that

(could it be Led Zep?  :rofl: be good twas ...)

Its obvious that silouette is of Axl Rose. Why would they have that on their site if their not hinting at the fact Guns will perform or Axl will be making some sort of appearence? At this point its a strong possibility they will be there. Oh, btw, they have toured on and off for the past 7 years without an album release date. I of course hope the album is soon but I can easily see them touring again without the release date being known to the public.  :smoking:

Even if the silhouette is him, if you look at the Historical part of the site under '06, Guns N' Roses name is first on the little flash. They could just be using his silhouette because they were one of 2006's biggest performers.

Ya but why advertise a past performer if the performer is not performing? I do understand nothings been confirmed and this is all speculation on my part, but i think having that up gives a hint at what will come not what has happened. :smoking:

their just using past performers to advertise the concert ,
its called marketing, Its been done heaps before...

Im sure we would hear first from guns n ross/axl if they were touring, before we would hear or see a "silhouette of axl"
announcing gnr playing....

Its all just speculation, and I bet this time next week, gnr wont be announced for playing at rir

Yeah I agree they COULD tour again without an album.  They've done it before, so it certainly could happen again.  I'd like to think this time around would be different and they'd get the album out before they do so, but it is a possibility.  I don't however think they would play any NEW songs if they did in fact perform.  We've heard enough of the album that has no release date in sight already, in my opinion.  I'd like SOME of the songs to be mysteries when the album eventually does come out.

Actually, if memory serves me correctly, most RIR shows have confirmed GNR's appearance well before any official word from Axl/band/management.  I know this especially to be the case for RIR in 2001.  It's been the festival's head organizers that have let the public know of Guns playing the show well before Axl made mention of it.  In fact, this is the case for many tour dates from 2006/2007.  We often saw dates announced for the first 10-15 shows before any official word from the band.  This is how it has usually be done in the past, which leads me to think that this is how it will be done in the future.

Cheers,

Andrew

As soon as his silhouette comes in, the word EU VOU flashes over it. Here's a commercial from the last time they were to play at rio, at the end Axl says EU VOU. The silhouette of him and the words over it might just be a marketing concept taken from this commercial and nothing more. Marketing techniques.

god axl looks so different their....

in theory GNR should be put before tokio hotel for June 28 slot like Shakira before Jamiroquai.  :P

seriously, when there's a show we always hear from the promoter first. lets wait and see.

That's interesting because Shakira, Jamiroquai and Sting already played at the 2006 edition in Lisbon and this time they'll play in Madrid. That could lead to think that GNR would play in Madrid, not in Lisbon.

They now have the same pic on both sites, Madrid and Lisbon! Doesn't look good.. :-\

People will read anything into anything.......

agree : ok: : ok: : ok:

Maybe. Nevertheless GNR and RIR go together since 1991.

My advice is for everybody not to bring their hopes up. Let's wait for the "BIG NAME".
When my insider told me about Bon Jovi f.ex., it wasn't regarded as "big".
All I know is that the organization is keeping this name very secret...

Oh, sorry, but my biggest wish for the "big name" is Led Zeppelin  ;D

I think this would be a really cool way to announce the album's release.

Surprised the rumour hasn't been shot down yet... :o

I still don't think it's right to advertise this year's show with a picture of an artist that has been performing there in the past. That's what the history section is there for!  >:( Yeah, it's called advertising and they do things like that all the time, but they could have picked someone who's going to play there this year. They've had plenty of time to make that flash movie after the performers have been announced.

Guns N' Roses will not be at Rock in Rio this year

Sorry.

I'm totally shocked!!!
Tokio Hotel is a headliner at Rock in Rio Madrid!!

Well Hoping for GNR!!
I don't know,when was it 2006 sure that GNR will perform in the same year?

K saw on page 2
"Last time GNR was announced for RIR was the 20. Feb..."
If GNR will play it should be announced soon!

WHERE'S THE ALBUM?????!!!!!   :rant:  :crying:  :hihi:

Thanks for letting us know.

Well, thanks for the update. But im a little bit disappointed... :P

Proof? Source?

Believe me, he is telling the truth. No need for at source.

The band are sorting out stuff with the record label. Once that is done, lots of cool things will then happen

The organiser(s)

Wait and see what happens. History is always the best source for facts

Well, maybe this is good news. CD before tour...

Thanks for the news Mysteron, we appreciate it even if it is bittersweet. Is the record label stuff the same old or has any progress been made?

This is a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I would have LOVED to see them play RIR again. I could have even had the chance to go there this time, since I know a guy (a friend's bf) whose family lives in Spain and they visit them all the time.

But sorting things out with the label is way more important than playing one gig.  :yes:

OT. Just my thoughts... if history is the best source for facts like Mysteron said, this I guess is what happened with UYI...

They negotiated with the label in September 1990 about the format (how many albums etc). The label wanted to change something in June (?) 1991 and the release was delayed because of that (and supposedly because the band wanted to tour instead of negotiating). They stated that the albums were done in June 1991. They played songs from the albums on tour. UYI were finally released in September 1991.

Correct me if I'm wrong.  ???

I hope the negotiations are going smoothly this time.

Mysteron,
Thanks for keeping us updated where you can.
I understand you may not be in a position to discuss what the band are exactly sorting out;
But can you give us any sort of time-frame (to the best of your ability) before 'things start to happen' in coordination with the label?

and with afd? obviously  old history is not my best subject.  :-[

Lets keep our fingers crossed that everything goes nicely for GNR.  :peace:

^

I think the only ones who know how the negotiations are going and how long they will take, are the band and the label...  :-\

Yeah, I understand. Just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask..

Too bad... Now crossing the fingers for Zeppelin... 8)

It would ge nice to see GNR open for Bon Jovi. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

I really hope both of those things happen soon then!

Thanks for the update, Mysteron.   : ok:   Your first sentence is very reassuring and the second, well, it just makes me go all tingly thinking about what treats are in store once the album is released.  Anticipation running at an all time high now...  :D

Lets hope for the discussions to go smoothly and quickly then let the promotion start.   :beer:

His source is only his username. That's all you gotta know.

We're down to stuff?  That's cool.

Kind of like that word stuff--lol.

Nice to hear everybody is working hard and it's just a matter of sorting and not fighting.

You know I just had a thought about what Mysteron said and wanted to come back and comment;

I do not mean to be one of those people who "reads too much" into one or two sentences, and I apologize if thats how I come across but I sincerely don't mean to..

But when Mysteron says that "the band" are sorting stuff out, I couldn't help but consider that this does mean, as stated, that the whole band, and not just Axl, are in discussion with the label, meaning that this could lead to possible forthcoming promo / marketing / interviews etc? Anyway, wishful thinking. Sorry.

I think that stuff goes with the Bunch of cool stuff Mysty was talking about.

Yeah, I just thought that classifying the release of the album as a "cool thing to happen" is a bit of an understatement haha

I love you.

Mysteron has to be someone from the band or a very close friend. Del James ? Dizzy Reed ? Perhaps only Axl knows  ;)

Atleast his messages aren't pointless speculation... Like my posts.

Gn'R not play this year. Linkin Park its confirmed today to play in the last day.
http://rockinrio-lisboa.sapo.pt/

Mysteron...will you ever let us in on your secret identity? Perhaps we'll find you in the liner notes of CD ;)

thanks for the clarification, Mr Mysteron.

I was hoping they'd play RIR this year, but I guess they still have to iron out some details.   Doesn't look like we will hear or see much until they work everything out.
