That sucks!
Although they're cool, can?t be compared to GNR.
Opinions... (Please don't come with Nirvana x GNR stuff again.)

"Foo Fighters on May 30th

The band assume the command of the World Stage filling the vacancy left by Guns n? Roses' cancellation.
Foo Fighters have been chosen to headline Rock in Rio Lisbon on May 30, 2004, filling the vacancy left by Guns n? Roses' cancellation. This enormously successful band, which also performed at the last edition of Rock in Rio, will be joined on the World Stage by Evanescence, Kings of Leon, Charlie Brown Jr e Xutos & Pontap?s.

Although Foo Fighters were on a well-deserved break, they jumped at the opportunity to play for their Portuguese fans. This will be their only European appearance for the summer of 2004, possibly for the remainder of the year, as the band prepares to return to the studio to record the follow-up to their worldwide multi-platinum multiple-Grammy-winning One by One."

Seriously? I was expecting something better...When I saw on RIRL site that "They will choose a band who is so good as or even better then GNR" I was expecting something like Van Halen or even Skid Row! Not this shit o' Foo Fighters...

I'd take the Foos over Van Halen or Skid Row any day. I'd take AC/DC over the Foos though.

Not like I'm going, anyway.

This years roster of performers seem very weak with GnR not performing anymore. I like the Foo Fighters and all but your right when you say there nothing like GnR. Undecided

I think THE perfect replacement was Velvet Revolver... but like Reinaldo said, Aerosmith would be great too. I'd like tpo see Iron Maiden there, but they saud here in Brazil they wouldn't play in a RIR that ins't in Brazil...  ok

That'll teach the organizers of RIR4 a lesson for booking GN'R to headline.

Or anybody else who thinks of doing so in the future.......

I hope the first single from CD (sounds pathetic even muttering those words) should be called.........

Piss, piss, pisssssssssing it all awaayyhhaaaaaaaayyyy

I agree with those who say Velvet Revolver would have been the perfect choice to replace Axl's band.  Not only would that have made all the GNR fans planning to attend happy (since there's more GNR in VR than there is "Guns N' Roses" these days), it would have been a huge slap in Axl's face.  And he needs a good slap in the face.

Foo Fighters replacing GNR is better than some Cock-Rock group like Van Halen or Skid Row replacing them.


One thing I don't get is: Why do people insult GNR for having only the Lead Singer and Keyboardist while Skid Row doesn't have the original singer (or bassist I believe).


People think of Axl more then they think of Slash when talking about GNR. The lead singer is always the thing that people notice more than anything.  They are always put highest in the mix.

P.S. Velvet Revolver would have been cool though.  beer LOL
