here's what he said:

I had a conversation with a big brazilian promoter last night in a Copacabana bar,and he said me 2 things..
There are three big sponsors almost confirming 4 big stadium concerts in Brazil.The concerts will be placed in Rio de Janeiro (Maracan? Stadium),S?o Paulo (Morumbi Stadium),Belo Horizonte (Mineir?o stadium) and Porto Alegre (Beira Rio Stadium).
The other thing is that the band will probably going to play in Argentina and Chile,but it's still not confirmed.
Good news for us south americans.

Maracana = 100.000 people.
Morumbi = 80.000 people.
Mineirao = like 90.000 people (not sure).
Beira Rio = like... 60.000+ people.

not sure about stadium capacity nowadays.  Voodoo can confirm that. :P

I am pretty sure that we will see GnR in latin america this year. And if is a stadium tour the more awesome it is! Let`s see; we had almost confirmed concerts already a couple of months ago :hihi:

Even I like the idea, it is pretty hard to believe that they can actually sell out these stadiums!??! However Brazil loves GnR!!

Beira Rio Stadium, Porto Alegre; capacity about 56000 + for football matches

Maracana Stadium, Rio de Janeiro; Botafogo; capacity about 100.000 for football matches (concerts up to 180.000!!!!!!!!!)

Maybe they are thinking CD is that good it will pack out the stadiums!

wow 180 000.. that would be really cool to see? :o the biggest show I've attended is Metallica @ Tallinn, Estonia last summer with 80 000 people and that was already amazing to experience  :) (btw I was in the second row :hihi:)

I wonder how good those seats will sell  ???

I don't know if a brazilian stadium tour would sell out, but I have no doubt that it will have a very good number of tickets sold.

But maybe it would sell out, depends of who are those 3 big sponsors the guy talked about...maybe Skol(beer), Terra(website) and Oi(Telephone company)? I don't know...

what`s up with CD??

Wow! If this is true then it is amazing.

It is amazing how GN'R are playing huge arenas in Australia and selling them out. Two shows at Acer Arena in Sydney! Some other unnamed band I know, that I went to see a couple of years back now couldn't sell out two nights at the old Hordern Pavillian building - 5000 capacity  : ok:

If CD comes out, i'm sure they'll come damn close to selling out... Thats IF they dot of course!

Wow, that "Morumbi" stadium looks awesome, lol, just kidding

I'm pretty sure the shows will sell out even if they are stadium shows, maybe not all of them but Rio and S?o Paulo are very likely to sell out

I dunno about the credibility in this one. Yeah, we all know we'll have a Brazilian tour at some point and that it will be in stadiums, nothing really new. But this guy forgot about the Amazonia gig, which I think it's something Axl really wanted to do.

Oi? I don't think so, this kind of shit has a lot more support from Tim or Claro.

He said he will tell us information about the tour WITH the album. :P

They'd better get some promotion going if they want to sell out those stadiums...

There's only one way to sell out all of those shows: a powerful single on the biggest radios, one that could instantly gather thousands and thousands of new fans. And maybe some good promo on tv too... ...if there will be a single rolling.

Nice, this is potentially great news.. i hope all of these shows get booked!

They should play Manaus in Brasil like the White Stripes did for that MTV special.

There is an opera house in the middle of the Amazon Jungle that was simply the coolest venue I have ever seen.


The Bogota shows were incredible in 1992, they should definitely go back.

for me you're talkin ballshit

you are not insider,you just talking stupid things

That would be awesome, Brazil has the biggest (''o mais grande do mundo''  :hihi: ) and most beautiful stadiums in the world. I would LOVE to attend to a GNR show at the Mineirao or the mythical Maracan?.

About Argentina, after attending to the Quilmes Rock Festival 2 weeks ago, I know FOR SURE that Guns N' Roses can (and will do it, if they choose that venue) sell out the River Plate Stadium (60.000). If the band drops a blockbuster rocking single BEFORE the southamerican leg of the tour, they should consider doing two dates.

Damn, I can imagine myself drinking several Caipirinhas in Rio, surrounded by beautiful female cariocas gunners, before attending the best show of my life  :drool: :drool: :beer: :beer:

can they fill these places?

let's hope that gnr come back to Bogota, maybe they will top Metallica's show back in the 99 with more that 180+ in Simon Bolivar Park

Caipirinhas, hot Girls, caipirinhas, Guns N' Roses and caipirinhas...it can't get any better than that! :beer:  :drool:


In Brazil yes, they can.

Well, I'm from Brazil. Despite the 4 mentioned Brazilian stadiums capacity, the reality of a great concert in Brazil is far from a 100.000 people for a pay concert. We can work with 40.000 or 50.000 in Rio and S?o Paulo. No more than that, picking by the last big concerts Brazil has held. Like Roger Waters: about 40.000, and Aerosmith with the same number.

Of course GNR is big in Brazil, but only if they added a free concert, like, at Copacabana Beach, then we would easily have a 400.000 crowd. And even for that 40.000 crowd, the album must got out 1st, Brazilian media is ruled by fucking radio singles. :-\

do you mean the most beautiful stadiums in the world? im not saying they dont, but england,germany and japan have some pretty amazing stadiums , do you think brazil could have a world cup now  and compete with those stadiums?

did rollingstone show on copakabana was free

Yeah, definitely. Maybe the majority of the european stadiums are more modern and safer than brazilians, but I will pick all my life to attend a show at the Maracana, Morumbi or Mineirao, instead attending a show in, for example, stadiums like Old Trafford, Stade De France or that big stadium in Munich.

About a World Cup, I dont know. I think brazil is lacking lots of things needed for a World Cup, but not the stadiums...

Yes, it was! All these concerts in the Copacabana beach are free. Maybe we'll have an Elton John free concert this year! :)

I hope these shows happen. hey are some big stadiums. That would be great if they sell them all out. Keep touring all summer and hit the states this fall again with the cd.  : ok:

I don't trust somebody called "Gallagher" Rose, 4 stadium and 350.000 peolpe  :o, ...

Perhaps that user is the HBK 's twin brother  :rofl:

well, backstreet boys had 100.000 people at their concert. Sandy & Junior, around 90.000. both in maracana. they're pop, i know, but Gn'R have a lot of fans in brazil. really, a lot. the problems are ticket prices... aerosmith = R$ 160 (around U$ 80) and R$ 200 (around U$ 100), right? Where did aerosmith play? I forgot, lol. Gn'R has much more fans in brazil than aerosmith... muuuuuuch more. some Gn'R fans went there to see VR, true, but with Gn'R a lot of other fans would go there. By a lot I do mean 60.000 people... lol. we could have 100.000 people easily, if promoter knows how to promote a Guns N' Roses show. Oh, yeah, not to forget ticket prices.

lol!  :rofl:
they'll eventually come to brazil. dunno if they'll do a stadium tour, but they'll come for sure. And those shows can sell-out pretty fast, if promoters know how to promote lol. And if ticket prices aren't that expensive...

but seriously, with a single and a huge promotion, like they did with Rolling Stones, they could play @ copacabana beach. and we're talking about a minimum of 400/500.000 people. Minimum...

wuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaajajajajajAJjajA?

Rocker_GNR poor man and his FAILURE in Chile, I understand it. Thanks for info Bruno pOEYS.

400/500 people minimun?.....

Really you believe this?, man, I think that number is too exaggerated...

Ops,
Extra, Hot News!!

Guns n' Roses will play in the Amazon jungle in front of 200.000 monkeys, 300.000 Anacondas, y 250.000 Parrots...  :rofl:

this is a true news...

you're an ass man grow up
btw back to the topic, let's hope that GNR will tour in Brazil, I think that's the best place for them bc many ppl love GNR and support the band

no, this number is not exaggerated.

and i thought this place was a GnR board.. silly me :-*

GN'R hasn't played a proper tour in South America since 1992-1993.

I don't think it would be totally impossible to at least play one or a few stadium shows there.





/jarmo

as long as they are in maracana... they could play a soccer game... they are only 2 players short
:D

13 players short actually. :P


a great achievement for all mankind. Even snow white couldn't attract that many.


Plus as far as I can see, Brazilians know how to enjoy themselves the best.

Guns n' roses (the name) is too devaluated here in South America. why?, the answer is evident

Axl lost his credibility long time ago. by that I am so pessimist about that exeggerated number

Anyway, if Axl will come here, I'll be in the show to enjoy his music as usual...

Dream One Little Dream.

HBK *

Dream what?, I said some lie?

let's see.

Is Guns n' roses's name devaluated in South america?, or here in Chile? - Did Axl rose lose his credibility?

tell me, where is the lie or something oneiric ?

Man, I am Axl's fan too, but that don't disable me to speak with the truth.

Bye compatriot   :beer:

man U should go to a Letterman show and say all that bullshit, maybe ask to Borat to invite you to his show!!!
and GNR devaluated? wtf are u talkin about? do u live in a parrot jungle or what?
news claims to themselves that GNR are kick all asses around the world (including Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Mexico), and their next stop will be South America and it won't by any exception, they will sell out all the fourthcoming gigs around Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina and Brazil

As long as GN'R is staying active I'm fine...but they NEED to come to the states in the fall!

and who you are...?, ahhhh you are the man who have a New GNR forum anti Slash/Duff or Velvet Revolver, at least you are just a few where there are more Moderators than users ?:hihi: :hihi:

Clown, Shut your mouth and breake your bumble

go back your pigpen

I hope Axl come here soon and let's enjoy his fuckin great music ? :beer:

Personally I prefer GNR perform in Bogot? in a smaller place, just like "Palacio de los Deportes". I prefer that tickets being expensive but have the possibility of seeing them very close.

Me too, something like Ritz 88' right....

Yes, in Bogot? we deserve something like Rits 88 or having our own Hammerstein Ballroom.

I'm sure the Porto Alegre and Manaus gig would be sold out, or close to it. It's a huge country, don't think as if it's only Rio and SP.

Same? What are you talkin' about? Aerosmith had 65.000. And the promotion was quite poor for a gig like that. Keep in mind that GNR is far more popular than Waters or Aerosmith here, as far as I know.

I didn't get it if you're talkin about 400 or 40k.

Anyways, I don't think a Copacabana gig would be a good idea. GN'R is not that pop, they would be too hard for the casual fans who only knows NR and SCOM. Also, it would be really bad for the fans - I prefer to pay in a Rio gig than to have to take the risk to go to this free concert there.

nah, the acoustic there is pretty chop!!!

btw Rocker, you're already reported, and chill up and grow up man!!!!!!!! send kudos to your boyfriend (VS)!!!! :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

VS is ''in the jungle'', he's gonna die!  :hihi:

Same? What are you talkin' about? Aerosmith had 65.000. And the promotion was quite poor for a gig like that. Keep in mind that GNR is far more popular than Waters or Aerosmith here, as far as I know.

Well, by the news I read, on globo.com, terra and whiplash, they were saying that Aerosmith gig didn't sell out., I heard numbers going from 40k to 50k... I think that Pink Floyd is far popular than GNR in Brazil, and by accepting that Roger is Pink Floyd... ::)

I didn't get it if you're talkin about 400 or 40k.

Anyways, I don't think a Copacabana gig would be a good idea. GN'R is not that pop, they would be too hard for the casual fans who only knows NR and SCOM. Also, it would be really bad for the fans - I prefer to pay in a Rio gig than to have to take the risk to go to this free concert there.

On that point you're totally right, going to a Copacabana free concert is very risky! :hihi: I think people go to a free concert just to get out, they don't care about who's playing, Rolling Stones is an example...

About the numbers: 400.000= four hundred thousand, 40.000=forty thousand

From globo.com:

"Com 65 mil ingressos colocados ? venda, mais de 60 mil entradas haviam sido vendidas."

I don't think so. Pink Floyd is an older band. You don't hear them much on the radio. Also, it's not as popular with the non-fans. There's still a lot of people who reminds of GNR on TV, radio and everywhere.

Hum.. I guess I know the numbers. ::)

Nevermind.

Yeah, I think it's difficult to get to a conclusion, we would have to know the album sales of Pink Floyd and GNR, and that's impossible in Brazil...

That number stuff was a joke! :)

not even in your dreams. just impossible.
GN'R is much more popular than Pink Floyd. really... a lot more.

I agree...but besides any more real news on the stadium tour in Brasil?

No news yet and I dunno how this is "almost confirmed", unfortunately. :(

we will see it,if it is true

i really doubt that gnr will play in stadiums before new cd
