are gnr still set to play rock n rio 4?

[dave-gnfnr2k]

This was pointed out at the gnr bar.
They are no longer listed as the confirmed acts.
HMMM

[RickDunsford]

hey i noticed that to. i''m the one that posted at the GNR Bar. I hope its not cancelled

[AdZ]

Where they ever on the list?

[Jizzo]

did you check the main site?

[GnFnRs2016]

Hmmm..... that can?t be good

[Hosen]

Like I have posted before, I've got my doubts if it is really going to happen. My most positive guess would be that GNR isn't on the confirmed list, because the GNR camp hasn't confirmed the gig (yet). Maybe they are waiting for a better moment for a "big announcement". On the other hand maybe Axl didn't know about it and it will be cancelled. I just don't have a fucking idea!

[AdZ]

"Of the bands already confirms pela collation from the Rock in River - Lisbon , the Xutos & Kicks , followed straight away by the Guns n? Rose bush AND Sting obteviveram finest placements.

from a news story posted on the 23rd on the RIR4 site"

[Walapino]

Today in the most respected peruvian newspaper a photo of Axl Rose appeared and beside it was the confirmation of his participation at RIR4 with Metallica and Slipknot and some other local bands... and to spice things up the newspaper said that 2004 was the year he would release CD, hope its all true  

[EM]

 

[GNRtruthseeker]

I plan on going.  I hope they are going to perform

[RnT]

GOD... PLESE NO... DONT DO THIS TO ME...  

WHY IS SO HARD TO BE A GUNS N ROSES FAN !??!

[davo]

hahahah i told you gun n roses are done  

i knew they wouldnt show up for RIO.

Support velvet revlolver they are the true guns n roses

fuck axl his old and cant sing anymore -

[raoxsle]

Guns N' Roses are still scheduled to play at Rock in Rio 4.

[Izzy]

I won't believe it till gnronline say so.....

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

Guns N' Roses are still scheduled to play at Rock in Rio 4.

they were scheduled to play in DC in 2002, in Philadeplhia too, and Madrid in 2001, and London in 2001 also, and in hungary, and in wathever ....

 
(but i think that this time it's gonna work.....i hope)

[John Daniels]

I believe it's quite a legit info, when it has been written in official RIR4 site.

[noonespecial]

GNR concert tickets equate to lottery tickets...nobody will know anything until the band appear or does not appear on stage...
Isn't that the risk you take being a GNR fan, get used to it...if you're disappointed you have no one to blame but yourself (for having an expectation in the first place)
....Hope all goes well for you all

[rocktar81]

but, rockstar81!? i though you were an anti new GNR? no offence, though

it's more complicated than that. I'm not anti-Axl at all so when I speak about the blues, I know this is a 100% axl style's song and I'm happy. It's not a question of talent at all, they are all very talented. This is more a question of image for me, you know it's not I don't like them but I think it's wrong to call them "guns n' roses" and sorry but I've a BIG problem with the gothic style of fink and the "strange" one of Buckethead. The rest of the band is OK.
So, I'm not "anti" new Guns n' Roses but well...It's difficult for me to accept the idea that they are "guns n' roses". They are not. But it doesn't mean they don't do good music.

[phaseONE]

One thing you people are forgetting,

These brazilians/portos are a bit infatuated with the " rock in rio " brand name, and as far as they are concerned " guns n roses" have always been at the previous shows so they may well have mistaken axls guns n roses as a " sure thing " to appear.

Dont get your hopes up people, axl has NO respect for the fans, or anybody else for that matter.

dont buy your rock in lisbon tickets, plane tickets unless you are actuallly taking a holiday in portugal, dont rely on axl, hes one big let down.

If axl had ANY respect at all he would have explained why he ended the american leg of the tour, and why he didnt show up at previous gigs.

Its been about a year now and still no explaination or press release as to why it was canned.

as of last year guns n roses " axl style " blew it big time and are dead in the water, they went down like the titanic never to set foot on stage again.

[CVBTank]

In my opinion Axl should not play this gig unless he is ready to release his album. These short lived buzzes just lead to more bad press and more shattered hopes.

[littleredcorvette]

The MAIN Lisboa site still carries the stories about their confirmation.

Does anyone know HOW or WHEN we can get tickets and all that business??

[DemocracyRose]

Maybe Axl cant get C.D done in time for the RIR4!!! No, seriously i believe we will see Axl runing around on stage in the new year....  

[just_one]

BIG UPDATE NEWS!!!!!!

GNR has been confirmed also on the main page , on that menu with pics of all confirmed bands

[coolbuddy]

well they are going to Rio unlessAxl starts playing his nintendo games while the crowd waits and starts rioting

[Chief]

yes they are according to this:

http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=2058313

[EM]

Confirmed by organizers, the Rock in Rio performance is Spears' only currently scheduled international booking, but will likely be part of a bigger itinerary. As previously reported, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Sting, Alejandro Sanz and Slipknot are among the other acts slated to perform during the massive May 29-30 and June 3-6 event at the Bela Vista Parque in Lisbon.

 that's what it says at http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=2058313

[oralsex]

I said I think you know where you live...
hey guys, I am planning to head to Rock in Rio @ Lisbon 2004; I am a big fan of Guns and Roses, as I grew up with them. I am 27 and when I was 16 I went to their concert back in 1993 in Modena, Italy. Great Show.
By the way I know how Axl could cancel a show in a second so I wonder why any official confirmation is on the official site? I'd hate being stuck in the crowd for evanescene or whatelse...So could someone update me about this matter?
Thanks

[just_one]

this is BS

their name is still on the main page (portuguese , english and spanish one!!)

[Cristina]

On monday or tuesday Medina was on tv talking about the children's program RIR funds, and he mentioned Guns N' Roses (it was the second name he mentioned, after Sting, I think)

That was on the news - Telejornal RTP1 (channel)

[MeanBone]

***** Tem muita gente enviando email preocupada com a sa?da do Buckethead guitarrista do Guns n?Roses? Eu n?o tenho a menor preocupa??o com isso, pois sei que no showbiz ? assim, sai um entra outro? O movimento da vida ? assim, ningu?m ? insubstitu?vel, afinal quem bota a cara para a cr?tica ? o Axl? *****

http://rockinriolisboa.blogs.sapo.pt/

to sum it up, they say they've been gettin lots of emails with people concerned about buckethead leaving the band, but Rock In Rio isn't worried at all with his departure since no one is irreplaceable and that's just how life is.

apparently that doesn't affect their presencie since nothing was mentioned that could possible forsee a change in plans. BH is Gone, but The Show Must Go on!

i guess that puts to rest whatever the hell MTV brasil was saying.

[kockstar99]

Who gives a shit if hes there or not... the band doesnt revolve around buckethead.... at least RIR said something about it....thanks for posting that...

[rocktar81]

well...maybe buckeathead departure is a good thing after all? Ok he was very good technically, lots of skills, but he brang a very, very bad image to the band.
I hope RICHARD FORTUS is going to have a more important part in the band. This guy could be a huge Star in the future. Richard has a huge potencial.

[Death Cube K]

Richard has a huge potencial.

Yes, he's got so much potential because he can move like a rock star on stage.

RIP GN'R



Edit: Changed subject. /jarmo

[loretian]

Ah, did you read the contents of the news article
a) it's a rumor
and b) the rumor's already been posted here.

Besides, anyone concerned with Gn'R appearing at RIR4 should read the "Rock in Rio 4 talks about BH's Departure" thread.

[Dont Try Me]

that's not confirmed you dick...... a rumour.....

[Eazy E]

It's a RUMOUR, change your fuckin title.

[darknemus]

The topic of this thread is a misnomer, at best - a lie at worst.  

Rockview did nothing but copy the mygnrforum post about the Brazllian MTV VJ who said the Rio promoters were looking for alternatives to GNR.  Even if the VJ DID say that - and it IS true.. the Rio promoters could just be trying to cover their bases.

I'd suggest you at LEAST change the title of this thread to even Rockview.net's title, with the appropriate question marks, since no one knows for sure what's going on right now.

-darknemus

[jarmo]

GNR Cancel Lisbon?  
 
www.gnrstrip.com

It was said by a brazilian MTV VJ this night..Roberto Medina was trying to find another artist to replace GNR in the festival,but it's not confirmed..it's just a rumour,let's wait some days for real news

See the question mark in their headline?

Funny how it seems like the organizers aren't worried at all if you believe what was posted in another thread.

[Captain P?l]

Richard has a huge potencial.

Yes, he's got so much potential because he can move like a rock star on stage.
 

he has a Huge potencial? i though we hated Huge...
huge... huge.. huuuuuuuugeeeee... hugg?. hug?... word lost all meaning now...

[MeanBone]

the source is MTV Brasil, wich is a Rumour, based on god knows what, and the RIR site has made it clear that BH's departure won't affect their appearence. so unless there's real eveidence from the band saying they won't play there this is nothing but a lie. i think the topic should be locked

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Don`t quote rumors as fact, you`ll just piss a lot of people off by doing that.

[grog mug]

Too many rumors for me.  Is anything positive ever going to come out of Guns N' Roses?

[darknemus]

Oh, and my Portuguese may be for crap, but that MTV Brazil article refers to Bucket's departure, yes.. but it also SPECIFICALLY says that GNR are confirmed for RIR at the end of May.

-darknemus

[Falcon]

Richard has a huge potencial.

Yes, he's got so much potential because he can move like a rock star on stage.
 

 

And don't forget, his presence within GNR represents everything a rock tar should personify..... :

[rocktar81]

Normally it should have been rockstar81 but I made a mistake when I registered.

what ru guys talkin about GNR is still confirmed for rio

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

If someone of you didn't notice this thread was started back in December. So I don't think this thread has anything about Guns N' Roses not playing because of BH not a member anymore.

[Fuckin' Gunner]

1. As brazilian, I can say without any doubt that MTV Brasil just don't know nothing about GN'R or about not pop bands.

2. The MTV link that guy posted just talk about Buchethead departure (a translation from MTV.com)

[SLCPUNK]

I think they'll be there with BH.  

[badapple81]

You're not the only one dude!  

I still wont believe anything that says "his manager said" and doesnt have any specific quotes.

[Death Cube K]

Right, well right now Im a tad more convinvced that Bucket will be there, because we would have been given a word from the GNR management if Bucket was out.

He's just trying to push forward some action from Axl, coz he do got a contract.

It's a usuall thing that happens. Bucket has left before to suddenly appear again.

Im not buying it just yet.

[Lucky]

They probably will play rir!!!
As the reports say, buckethead left the band months ago, and RIR has been anounced recently so Axl probably scheudled it with a backup in mind.
Also there is still Paul Huge that can fill in the void.

I didn't want to start a thread about this but it would be nice if someone could comment on my observation.

[Skeba]

Also there is still Paul Huge that can fill in the void.

God I hope not.

[madagas]

Falcon, you are a funny fucker sometimes.

[John Daniels]

there are stong rumours about GNR cancelling the the RIR4 show.

some (140 post) poster said at mygnr forum:


"It was said by a brazilian MTV VJ this night..Roberto Medina was trying to find another artist to replace GNR in the festival,but it's not confirmed..it's just a rumour,let's wait some days for real news"

well..mygnr forum is full of gossips so don't take this too seriously.

[Fuckin' Gunner]

You're not the only one dude!  

I still wont believe anything that says "his manager said" and doesnt have any specific quotes.

So you both are not the only ones...  

[grog mug]

After you click Guns N' Roses world stage May 30th if gives you a story on GN'R.  Where did they come up with GN'R sponsoring a child for the event.  I mean something is obviously going on with Axl being there or this wouldn't be stated.  I'm sure he's going to play RIR4 GN'R's name is all over Lisbon and this website.  We just need some fucking confirmation!

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

bucket is going to tour with particle, right?  particle are sheduled to play the summercamp 2004, which is on the 29th may. so if bucket will play there, i think there's no chance he will appear at rir4

[DemocracyRose]

Bucket`s out..... Period... Lets move on....
