BIG NEWS: GN'R CONFIRMED IN LISBON - ROCK IN RIO 4, MAY 30 TH 2004

[John Daniels]

I hope this is true but don't expect that this has some kind of connection with the CD release.

You mean, that this time. They will do the mistake again touring WITHOUT an album to promote?

No way. No way.

I?d say bingo for us fans!

I hope that this is warm up gig and will be followed with tour/album release, but this could also just be a easy gig to cash some money, you know..I think the album will be out then when Geffen/interscope mess will be settled.

[The New Fiona Apple]

Holy Shit, Holy Shit, Holy Shit  

.I cannot believe this.


This time I mean it, Chinese Democracy starts right fucking now.

[The New Fiona Apple]

im excited as fuck about this but to damper everyone's mood, just cause they are playin a rock in rio doesnt mean we will get the album

remember rock in rio 3? the aborted tour? hopefully though this is the beginning

can u order the rock in rio thing on pay perview?

on my boot of it it was on pay per view? anyone have a clue?

It was Simulcasted on AOL, so there ya go.

I wonder what Dizzy is gonna think when he sees this. Booker Floyd and Jarmo as well.

[Mutherfunker]

Couldn't draw flies to shit eh? Very articulate.

Aside from the fact that they sold out MSG and did alright at other venues with very little promotion, a 9 year absence, and no new album which ain't too bad, what the hell make you think this is made up as it's on the official Rock in Rio Lisbon site?

I don't know whats more pathetic.... the fact that someone made this story up, or the fact that you all are buying it, hook, line, and sinker.

What a bunch of idiots.

However, if it is true, I give Axl credit. He is a big deal in Brazil.... he will do good numbers there.... It beats barely being able to draw flies on shit here in America.

dude , this is true!!

portuguese tv channels announce it aswell.

its NOT  fake this time

i guess you ar the pathetic one!
Lisboa is in Portugal, not in Brasil. you know? Europe? this big piece of land between India and the Atlantic Ocean?

and who can be scheptical about an official news report, that's on the official rock in rio site, that's been broadcasted all over the news of the major tv station in portugal that's also one of the sponsors of that festival?
grow up, bitch!

Boston was full, so was Chicago, and so was Philly. I believe the Labatt Center show was as well. They averaged 8666 for the Us tour-16 shows. Not great obviously but they still are not a club band and are bigger than a theatre band. Once the album comes out I believe they will be more successful. Simple as that.

[MCT]

You're almost funny there Robocop.................

[grabaraxl]

I apologize. I am not a geography major. I could give a shit less were Lisboa is. It could be up Rosie O'Donnells ass for all I care... and the sad thing is, all you morons would still go.

well, i guess her ass his bigger than Portugal anyway, so apologies accepted.

Vancouver was completely sold out as well.

One thing that I don't get is that Axl can't play for over 20,000 people in Vancouver, yet could play at the even less than half empty  Tacoma Dome (Probably  thanks to the National News reporting about the Vancouver Riot and making people nervous to go) rather sub-par.

[noonespecial]

...wait a minute folks, someone better tell Axl, or this will end up like the European tour...you know, the one he had no idea about..anyone got his cell number...he'll need a couple of months just to get his head together for this one

I'm happy for those who are totally excited by this news...get it where you  can.

I think that logic would indicate that the album will not only be out by May 30, 2003, but that it will have been out long enough for peopel to have absorbed it fully.  By that I mean that at least we should have a single, a video, a controversy of some kind and a few tv interviews with the band prior to this concert.  There would be just no reason to play the old setlist anymore, and they won't play all new songs to a crowd that hasn't had a chance to listen to the new material and develop an appreciation for it.

Disclaimer:  Of course this is logic and GNR has never followed logic.

I am optomistic about this.

Disclaimer:  I was optomostic about the 2001 tour.

Untill gn'r say something or show up on stage i cant get my hopes up. But the longer it goes without this being disproved the more excited i get.

[Brufri]

I knew it!!

Two days ago i saw an interview with Roberto Medina from a Portuguese channel, regarding Rock N Rio In Lisboa. Asked about some of the possible acts for the festival he was very carefull just saying that some big surprises were coming!!

I just wish Rock n Rio was well...in Rio! So i could see them one more time. God i cant believe it has been almost 3 years since their last gig here.

[jarmo]

I wonder what Dizzy is gonna think when he sees this. Booker Floyd and Jarmo as well.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[billsguy]

Well they already played all the "new" songs at the last rock in rio, so i think the promoters would not allow them to come back unless they promised something different.  How many bands play the same festival with the same songs?    As soon as gnronline puts something up (probably around the new year) i'll be even happier.  I know all the rio sites are official, but from experience, if it hits gnronline, its OFFICIAL.  Have fun over in Spain!
