Just a couple of things

More dates are apparently in the pipeline, but it is unlikely that there will be any more announcements before Xmas (although it is not impossible)

Also, gnr have no control over their website at the moment, so unless Geffen update it, there will be no updates on it for a while

That's not negative that's right fucking on. It's gutsy to book this band, they really don't have the best track record. I know there will probably be someone who'll sponsor a tour tour, but to be honest, I don't know why. Even though I think CC tried some sneaky shit, but for a band that is so closely associated with riots, and fans thinking its an excuse to do so, if I was a GM of a venue I sure as hell would think twice before letting them play in my arena. But perhaps this will get people to pay attention to see what the blow up will be, and they might see, or get reports of a great show. smoking

OK, I don't entirely disagree with you, but I would like to clarify some things:

1) Look at the TOTAL number of shows GnR has done (both old and new) and looks at the TOTAL number of no shows and "riots".  To be fair, what's that number turn out to be...about 1% to 2% of their shows? (And you can't count the ENTIRE aborted last leg of the '02 tour...since CC cancelled that. You can only count Vancouver and Philly).

2) Honestly, the venue's might be nervous BUT they wouldn't refuse to book the show. They recognize the revenue a GnR show brings in. What they would PROBABLY do is require either the band or the promoter to do 2 things. 1) Take out an additional rider to cover lost revenue in the event of some sort of riot and 2) Require the band to take out either additional insurance that would supercede the venues.  The venues insurance company COULD refuse to cover the event and, in that case, again, they could hold the show and require that the band provide their OWN insurance policy to cover the venue.

Let us hope there are no sporting events on May 30th that may get Axl's attention.

That leads to the question: Why don't they create a temporary site on their own, till they get gnronline.com back? Every geek-kid can create a site in a minute. It even doesn't need to look good (although that would be a bonus), because it would just have to be the temporary information base for the fans. Besides, Robin's page looks good - so the problem can't be the lack of technical skill.

Sad. Sad

Dont forget to e-mail them about their negativity... ok

MTV.com isn't exactly a site dedicated to GN'R.

Besides, they were just stating facts. They weren't telling people how stupid they are for believing in Axl.

Someone should just buy the official site from Geffen, someone like Axl and hand it over to someone who knows what he's doing.

I have mixed feelings about this. First of all and most importantly, GNR is still together - despite last months rumors and shit - this is a very valuable information ( I was starting to believe everybody in the band was quitting quietly- Robin Fink back with NIN, Buckethead album release, Dizzy playing solo in LA, Brain back and forth with Les and Buckethead...) It is fucking great having GNR on tour again ( or at least playing one gig), Axl will get out of his cave for a while and have some exposure. I will definitely go (I live next door) and enjoy the show like I did the other three GNR shows I've been into.

However, everytime there's a GNR related press release, it seems the waiting is almost over ( to be later disappointed). We've been through this before. Vegas ( twice), Rock in Rio 2001, VMA's, chaotic World Tour 2002 and the list goes on. Every single time a tour is announced we get our hopes up but in the long run, nothing happens ( as far as the new album is concerned)

Quite franky, I'm not gonna get way to exited about anything else until the album is finally out ( or to its default, there's an official announcement on the release date). GNR shows are very special, but even GNR needs to recicle. There's no point in doing shows if you don't have new songs to test live. Not even the Stones do that ( and they haven't release a decent album in almost 20 years!)

In conclussion, it is great that GNR will headline Rock in Rio. I'll go to the show,  but I won't get my hopes up until I see the album.... ok

- Cool, PLEASE let's have some US dates in 2004...I have the feeling that now since I live in the US they will tour Europe and when I'll get back there they will tour the US... Lips Sealed

- Fair enough, but one could wonder why a band would have no control over its own official website, and why as someone suggested it, they don't create their own proper website (because nothing is set in stone yet...? hmmm)

Well that's great Mysteron, but here's the real question are we going to get Chinese Democracy out of this, or is it just another cock tease?

I would say that it is extremely likely

Only that I am saying this based on assumption. I was told a while ago that gnr wouldn't tour again until they were certain that an album was going to be released, so I am just assuming that this is still the case

Well.. I guess this is the case. They will not tell everybody "hey, we will be back" so much time before if they wouldn't have plans to release the CD.  ok

The show will be broadcasted on portuguese tv SIC Radical (a part of the SIC TV network) which has an agreement or some sort of deal with Globo. It has had this deal for lots of years so Globo might get the exclusive in Brazil
Yeah but Multishow is a Globo Cable channel. The only show broadcasted by Globo TV in RIR3 was GN'R, and that's because it was here, in Brasil. All the other shows was just showed in samples and small edited VT's.
I'll try to find how it will be here, I'll try tomorrow (yes, journalism sucks, I have to work at Sundays).
Louren?o, I don't want to be a prick but what about that Medina and Axl story? I remember you said that was almost impossible to GNR be at RIR-Lisboa. I even asked you about this in pm's...
And, another question: will you put the RIR4 bootleg on line?


Abra?os,

I might go if i finally get off my ass and get myself a passport sorted out.

Good news though, ive become very pessimistic over the past few months but this at least looks like a glimmer of hope.

Im still unsure as to the nature of it all though, theres still no confirmation from the band.....is there?
