Rock in Rio Lisbon

This picture is taken from the RIR official website...




it basicly says

I came to RIR, GN'R Didn't...


well, in other news RIR 5 will be held in Lisbon in 2006, maybe by then GN'R will have something to promote other than a best of, and may be invited to play here... again

You know, if someone said back in 2001 that GNR would be still to release an album in 2004, I'd said to fuck off. Now it's not safe to say that in 2006 we'll have CD for sure...  
BTW, great pic, lol.

Somehow I don't think Gn'R will be invited to play Rock In Rio again.  Even if Axl was to release an album and tour for a year beforehand, the liability would just be too much, considering how much planning, promotion, and money goes into such a huge event as RIR.  

Axl really blew it this time.  He can blame Buckethead all he wants, but that happened well over a month before the concert date.  With the rest of the band familiar with the material, a month is plenty of time to find at least a temporary guitarist who could fill in for that one show. (realize that in 2002, Robin took well over half the leads and solos in the set anyways)  It wouldn't have to have been a full time member, but with all the musical connections in the new band surely a temporary replacement could've been found.  Axl could've come on with this guy and the rest of the band and in one of his little speeches be like "this is _____, he worked his ass off the last four weeks so we could be here."  

But...it wasn't to be.  I think there were other reasons for the RIR cancellation besides Buckethead, but we'll never know.  In any case, I seriously doubt they will ever play RIR again.

sad but true.

Can't really say and don't really know but ain't Axl and Roberto Medina (guy behind RIR) suppose to be great friends or something...?

Nwo WHY THE FUCK will RIR 5 be in Lisbon again?? I mean, this one sucked big time. Portugal often receives big shows and stuff like that... Here in Brazil we get to see a big show just once in a while! Thats why 200 000 go to these kind of festivals here. Its dumb and unfair to make RIR in Lisbon again

agreed... and Paul Tobias could have played if he were asked to play..... if Axl wanted to be there he could have been ....  shit i could have played the rythym for the setlists that hes been using ...  

Bottom line is if he wanted to be there he could have been ... him and Buckethead screwed RIR .. the event originizers.. the people who bought tickets to see GnR..

This cancellation did it for me... I dont give a fuck if CD ever comes out or not anymore... too many dissapointments with not even a single or an interview or even a decent website have made this Life long fan a very bitter fan and totally aloof to the CD project....

haha not to mention the greatest day of my life (link below) made me realize how artists should treat thier fans... Sixx and Gunns even hooked me up with a tattoo..

would Axl Rose? no way.. he wont even talk to his fans... 6 months ago i would have never said anything bad about Axl Rose.... Today i cant think of anything to say about him other than "hes a good singer and great front man"  other than that he seems like a piece of shit to me..  and im sure the RIR promoters dont appreceate being screwed anymore than the fans do....
