GN'R in Brazil in May?

[WARose]

Those are NOT the people I was referencing.

In fact, I was saying how the non-hardcore fans will be more than pleased to watch the same 2006 setlist. The only ones who will complain are the board people - at least, some of them.

Yeah. The casual fan who attends one show on the tour would be extremely happy with that show.

It's people who read setlists and who have issues with it.


I remember how "weird" it was being at the first ever GN'R show I saw and they played a lot of Use Your Illusion tracks.

It was before the Internet so even less people in the audience had heard the new tracks than today. I don't think too many of the people who attend the shows actually download bootlegs to get to know the new GN'R songs. So basically GN'R played about 3-5 new "unknown" songs at the shows in 2006.

Yeah, I agree.

My only concern is that many, many people (even non-GN'R fans) are aware of Chinese Democracy, and after their comeback last year making headlines in major publications like Rolling Stone, people may be skeptical of seeing another "Chinese Democracy Tour" with no album.

A couple months back I thought the album would be out in April, but I don't think that's going to happen now. Hopefully May or June.

i think may is not possible anymore....  june at the earliest

Just to keep the flame burning, in Zero Hora, biggest newspaper here in Porto Alegre, here I live, Guns N' Roses made the cover today, with the "How is the Guns N' Roses concert going to be" and very positive reviews from US Tour 2006 and a interview with some fans that attended shows in last year's tour.

They, in fact, think it's really great that the band plays mainly established songs and a few unknown ones, from upcoming Chin Dem, stating that to the casual fans, it's a need to see, don't die without seeing it.

It basically fits perfectly with what Jarmo has said about it being mostly about the casual fans being really pleased with the setlist...

Just to let you all know, Guns is really getting a LOT of media down here...

[Voodoochild]

The talk is that we'll get news in two weeks.

But BBF recently said in his board that we should believe ONLY if comes from the band. True, but I'm still hoping...

Cool

For the people in Brazil, this is all new since they haven't had any shows thus far, so I don't see the set list being an issue.

Not that I wouldn't like  to see more stuff played from the bootleg leecher's point of view but still, I'm hoping the bitching isn't too serious on these shows.

No, it's not confirmed yet. The newgnr.com posted this, but I dunno their source and I guess it's not confirmed indeed.

And what the hell this has to do with this Brazilian news?

[Big Gun]

If they start playing a Chinese Democracy tour without an album to support again, they're going to be a laughing stock. I hope it's out before this date.

I'm sure there are enough people and interest here (and also in Japan and South Africa) to attend to the same setlist as 2006. The problem will be the people on boards and critics on media.

i dont get it why is new gnr going to Brasil for the second time? what are they promoting?

oh i got it now... the 20th anniversary of AFD.

it costs a lot of money to keep this not so new gnr band going.?

They played in USA several times since 2001. UK had Leeds, Docklands and the 2006 shows.

Stop bitching. You don't even know if they are gonna promote a single or the album with a solid release date.

i can understand your excitement and that you're looking forward in enjoying a night out with new gnr. the point that i was trying to get across was that how come new gnr cancelled the shows in Cali to finish the album, and here we are with no finished album they go on tour again!
japan tour dates are only a month away so i really doubt a single will be out before then.

First, they played several shows in Cali, so it's not like they didn't come close to that place last year. Second, the time frame wouldn't be right - they couldn't have gigs in January because they needed the THAT time to finish the recordings. Different situations.

They wanted some time to finish the record. They could have played somewhere in february and march too, but didn't. Why do you think they planned those dates starting in April? Just because it's a random month?

Of course this world tour has a different meaning and they thought it would be more needed than the canceled shows. As much as a lot of people disagree with this, they want to show this new band to the world with those gigs before releasing the album.

japan tour dates are only a month away so i really doubt a single will be out before then.

If they will indeed start doing the tour on April 14th, I guess the mix stage would be finished by then, or very close to it. So, why not a single? As far as I know, the single could come out next week with no problem at all.

I don't know nothing, but I think they will release the single on tour and, in late June, when they will be back at US, they will release the album. Of course, if all goes well.

a video confirmation about the tour in Brazil (they got all the info we already know, with no dates confirmed for s?o paulo, rio and manaus, but they?re saying that it?s CONFIRMED that GNR will play here, that?s all over the music media around here in Brazil )

something tells me that gnr is not the band that releases albums in june; they are more the late summer / fall band. and guess that axl likes to stick to this tradition... hope i'm not right this time

More Info:

This is wrong. They played officially for 200.000 people here. Hell, by that time, they were talking about 180k...

[FilipeMB]

I have news about this...
the tour is confirmed for May 2007. Just wait from official releases from tour promoters (who will be CIE or Niemeyer) and/or band

I work for a tour promotion company and one coworker told me this today.
As it is not we that are going to promote this, i dont see problems publishing this info.
may. the same dates opiniao's website and manaus's newspapers wwre saying.
and [OFFTOPIC], for whoever cares, RHCP is confirmed for Sep 2007 in Brz. We tried to promote this one but it is hard to compete with the REALLY big guys.

He said only about Porto Alegre one. But it is not "intelligent" to promote only one show (even 2) in a 20,000 arena with a ticket ~ US$ 20 (our "meia entrada"). It only generates as gross potential (the maximium revenue you can have) US$ 400,000, which I guess is less then they will expend in this as GNR crew must not be a small one (30+ ppl in the traveling party for outside-us shows. it's a long shot, it must be more than this as Axl is a really a big star almost everywhere.) so there is a lot of visa works to, air tickets to pay (int'l, nt'l), ground transportation, fees (which you know we have a lot here in Brz).
I guess it will be Sao Paulo, Rio, Porto Alegre and Manuas (as it is reported that Axl wants to play there though we dont have sources on that). Curitiba is not likely for  a band of the size of Guns n' Roses. I dont think they would drew enough to pay promoters costs there playing in Porto Alegre for 15,000+ ppl.

[Voodoochild]

The Manaus newspaper talked about Bras?lia and Rio de Janeiro dates too.

But the ticket price doesn't look real to me, as the Aero + VR gig is R$160 on the floor. Better wait for the real announcement in a couple of weeks..

I dont think Brasilia is true... too many shows for a country, you know what I mean? It's not commom for a band of the size of GnR to play, like, 5-6 shows only one country...
what was the tkt price showed there?
