rock in rio 2006 - axl's return?

[bazgnr]

Thing is, it's his return on the BIG STAGE.? Little ol' Hammerstein as a warm-up doesn't quite count.

It might not count, but I'm still gonna do my damnest to make that show, warm-up or not...

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

oh, most definitely, you gotta go for it

oh it counts alright.its only GNR PLAYIN IN FUKIN NEW-YORK.doesnt count my arse.

just because the RIR crowd is gonna be bigger.which show will bring the first headlines to the daily papers accross the world???yes NEW-YORK so that to me is a return!

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

like i said,they will RETURN to the headlines when they play their first show (NEW YORK) wether its infront of 20 poeple or 200,000 poeple 

[speed_stone]

stop being so damn self-righteous, shut the fuck up and be happy they are even playing. good day.

[ROSE22]

his performances were pretty intense vocal wise but you are right on. he seemed very subdued or dare i say uninterested between songs. i guess i'm used to seeing axl wide eyed and using his tongue like a razor to get his point across when he felt the need to talk.

[fridayfan13]

if axl want to come ner me to do a couple small show, ill be there. im going to do everything i can to be there for the 17th. the way i see it, it may very well be filmed also, so thats a plus. and, most everyone there is going to be a hardcore gnr fan.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

Being NY, he can give the best performance of his life, yet they'll still tear him bit by bit and call him a botox-faced gat ass ? Seriously, it's big but that's why he's playing warm-up shows at a small theatre.? If it was bigger he would be playing at Giants Stadium...

yeah,i see where your coming from but by the time of the rio show,GNR will already be all over the papers.either kings of new-york or not.it doesnt matter anyway,as long as it all goes down well

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

Yep, good point.? That's pretty cool, I think it will help hype-up Rio, and maybe help with pay-per-view sales here in the states.? It will be in the papers and in the news, so I guess it will be good in the long run.? Quick question...does Merck plan tours and dates?

id say axl did all the planning but i could be wrong.look what happened last time a GNR manager planned a tour 

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

he got AXlED!!!

well and truly AXLED .im thinking maybe merck finds the venues then clears it with axl for a go ahead.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

I'm glad they communicate important information like that between the two!

it does come in handy in a buisness  .

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

Yeah, just a wee bit! ? I wonder if Axl is going to stay in NY for another month ? I hope at least he jets out here to Los Angeles to rehearse a little bit with the guys.? And I wonder when he will get to Lisbon.?

hell probebly get to lisbon around christmas  .no seriously,hes got 10 days after the new-york shows so i hope he gets to portugal for at least a couple of days before the show so he can chill out and maybe hell be in a really good mood and give out more info.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

That sounds good.  He can rest up and enjoy his time, take in the sights and recover from the jet lag, assuming he gets it.  And maybe practice some more and do a soundcheck.  Wait, they wouldn't be able to soundcheck would they?  They have bands playing on the stage continously.

[jameslofton29]

You a psychic, james? Three out of four debuted this year, with quite possibly first ever live performances of them to be had in RIR5.

Axl debuting new material at Rio( Catcher in the Rye, This I Love,full version of IRS, TWAT) would sustain alot of people, maybe for a few more years.

Why did you ever doubt me? 

[mikegiuliana]

nyc is axl's return now.. I wonder if he'll speak to the crowd about anything.. Hopefully something about CD, will kurt loder be there he'll be like in a week and a half we'll be hitting europe, then america whenever and hopefully tonight this is our new single ______

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

____ and the crowd goes wild!

[younggunner]
