Title: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: Mustapha on February 10, 2006, 07:09:25 PM Hi there! I'm from Portugal, this is my first post, but I'm a daily reader of the forum. This where I check almost everyday for Guns' news ;)
I'm posting here today to let you know that it was released today the name of the band that will headline the rock day at Rock In Rio Lisbon 2006 and it was NOT Guns N' Roses as we all expected... I'm terribly disappointed with this, I was one of many people that bought the ticket for the 2004 edition, thinking that they was doing his comeback show. But I guess that after what happened, the organization didn't want to risk the band again, maybe afraid another change of mind... Anyway, there are 5 days at RIR and we only know two headlines, so I guess there's still a (tiny) hope. Sorry for the news, I couldn't be more disappointed than you are... Cheers Edit: Changed subject. /jarmo Title: Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers released officially as headline for "rock day" at RIR Post by: badapple81 on February 10, 2006, 07:13:30 PM I've been checking out the RIR site each day to see if GN'R would be listed and I'm really disappointed to see they haven't been. I mean they could still be listed but I can't see GN'R doing anything else but headlining.. just wouldn't be normal!

Title: Re: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: Chief on February 10, 2006, 07:43:47 PM yea i think if they happen to be playing and work things out, they will headline one of the days for sure!

It means that RIR has one day per music style. For example, in 2004, Metallica headlined the metal day, Britney headlined the pop day, Foo Fighters (in replacement of GNR) headlined the havy rock day, Sting headlined the soft rock day and so on... The thing is, I don't think that there's even the little chance of GNR playing there not being headliners. Title: Re: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: Christos AG on February 10, 2006, 07:55:51 PM There are still lots of chances for them to play there...
I don't think Axl will pass this...

I remember the thread about some guy mastering some "new" material of GNR ( someone posted the picture here ) and the guy wrote something like: "Guns N Roses - Unrelesed - Universal - Metal" MAYBE the new songs are more "rock n roll" and Guns could headline the Metal Day... and those rumors about Guns in Ozzfest just make more credible this couse Ozzfest is more Metal than all these festivals Title: Re: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: Axl4Prez2004 on February 10, 2006, 08:06:30 PM Honestly, why does GNR have to "head-line" at RIR? ?Talk about a guy and a band that could seriously up-stage a headliner! ?Axl and company would do fine as headliners, non-headliners, or just by making a cameo surprise appearance, who knows...but yeah, of course we'd all like to see them be the main attraction. ? :beer:

I don't see it happening. Axl going there to support Red Hot or Mettalica? No chance... Title: Re: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: nesquick on February 10, 2006, 08:36:15 PM Headlining the "rock day" or the "metal day" is not important. What is important is headlining, and playing. It's to be there just one night. Anyway, I don't think GN'R will headline the "metal day" simply because it's not a metal band. But as soon as they play at Rio, I'll be happy.
Playing at Rock in Rio is a HUGE opportunity...I mean....this is the biggest festival in the world. Title: Re: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: badapple81 on February 10, 2006, 11:55:06 PM Would you guys just be happy to see GN'R perform or would you rather them not perform and perform at another festival if it meant being openers not headliners?
They can still headline another day.

They can still headline another day. yeah! its early in the year, and most summerfestivals dont give out theyr Big Bands before spring... Im happy with any GNR activity! even just a statement.. Title: Re: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: WARose on February 13, 2006, 03:55:29 PM are there any "non musical style" days at rio? and is there an official site?
Title: Re: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: Voodoochild on February 13, 2006, 04:29:09 PM are there any "non musical style" days at rio? and is there an official site? Yeah: http://rockinrio-lisboa.sapo.pt/ (there's an english version there)And I can't see any mention to a specific day being for only one musical style. Title: Re: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: mikegiuliana on February 13, 2006, 04:32:29 PM There are still lots of chances for them to play there... I don't think Axl will pass this... well if he does pass it up then all that "i can't play my favorite show because of BH" stuff was just BS Title: Re: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: jmapelian on February 13, 2006, 04:35:07 PM ^^ don't think you can say that...it was relatively short notice that fuckhead, I mean buckethead quit

Title: Re: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: erose on February 13, 2006, 04:47:24 PM too bad.. although i'm not convinced gn'r won't apear... if 06 is the year for CD then rir is must for axl i think, afterall, it's pretty much the biggest event in the world isn't it?

If 06 is the year then how can he not include the show?

Title: Re: GN'R not headlining "rock day" at RIR Post by: DemocracyRose on February 13, 2006, 06:01:47 PM GNR could play RIR as a single event...

If 06 is the year then how can he not include the show? so you don't think Axl has any plans of a tour, hence the quote from the RS interview?
