So, I was there at the show last night and had a wonderful time but I gotta ask... what the fuck is Axl talking about?

So I'm in the shower at the gig after r Sao Paulo show n' when I touch the faucet I get a jolt of electricity!! Wtf!! Time 2 get the fuck out da water!! Anyway! After a bunch of meds, about 2 1/2+ hrs of warmups, r show n' another hour of warmdowns we'll b headin' into Rio for r show there. This was hard comin' as all anyone bsides the band thinks about is the money. Who gives a fuck about the fans, how it sounds or if it fucks up the rest of the tour?! I don't perform for ANYONE in this industry n' no matter how nice, funny or what spin they put on things they're seemingly n' unfortunately all the same. We had a good show here in Sao Paulo n' a bunch of opportunists w/out my knowledge or consent did their best to make it about them b4 hand instead of the fans or there wouldn't have been shit in the Post but hey we got past 'em enough to do r gig. What's really crazy is these same types have the unmitigated gall to feel they're the ones who were taken advantage of!! Fuck the bourgeoisie!! Of course that's not to say there weren't plenty in attendance the other nite who like us got duped as well but the others well... It's not for them or their kind (or stalkers or press agents etc.) It's for u. Thank you Sao Paulo!! Peace, Axl-

Thanks for posting.

I guess people got dissapointed but it was a responsable decision..

[Moonlight J]

Wait a minute

Doesn't play a private show for the people who have money
and then he gets shocked in the shower

Think those two things are connected? 

You be careful my friend.

Don't give me that, a little paranoia will keep you alive. 

SECURITY, on your toes!

Now you've got ME paranoid for the guy!
Thank goodness SA mafia don't control the weather, or I'd be wondering about the stage too!

[cineater]

What else can we add to the "what else is going to fuck with us" list?

earthquakes
stadium where the noise is trying to bring the neighbor's houses down
electricity in the shower
torrential rains
and always, the assholes who threw something at Axl

The stage collapsed in Rio. Latest update I received was that no one was injured, the gear survived. No discussion yet on if a make-up show will be possible, we'll need to give it time for the business folks to work all that out. At the hotel, spending some time with a great group of GNR fans... http://www.twitpic.com/18nebl Thousands of people made a big effort to be at the show tonight, I wish there was something I could do for you all.

Why, why, WHY did you have to ask that?

I hereby request that cineater never again be allowed to ask "What else can we add to the "what else is going to fuck with us" list?"

RIO UPDATE: They're now saying the venue actually experienced a minor tornado. Either that or regional Global media blowing usual hot air.

Stay off the ocean and oil tankers and we won't be adding any more to that list--lol

But the bigger question on this tour is,

with our Mr. Reed all dressed up is he or isn't he wearing.................?

You two crack me up! I just wonder if the other people here get us. Don't get us wrong people, we are very upset too. We need some good Karma here. boy  I hope they can pull off a show today!

[Ulises]

There weren't problems in Asia. There weren't problems in Canada.

So much problems in South America.

Clearly, we don't have luck.

I wonder what kind of natural phenomenon would affect Argentina in March 22nd 

[cineater]

They are having a population explosion.

It must have been the longest, most terrifying time for the band waiting on word that their friends and co-workers were all accounted for and safe and okay.  That had to be a horrible helpless feeling.

Thank God everyone will be okay.

Nice Italian dinner with the band tonight, came back and hung with GNR fans outside the hotel. http://www.twitpic.com/18vjdj One had an acoustic guitar so I gave 'em their own acoustic show outside the hotel for 2 hours, everyone singin' and havin' fun. Felt good to be making music, hopefully we'll be able to come back to Rio and give it another shot. Love to you all, hope to see you soon as possible.

ron's a motherfucking legend

[suntorytime]

2 fucking hours of street gig! Lucky fans there.

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

Its amazing what a polar opposite personality Ron has compared to Bucket.  Ron is really one of the best things thats happened to this band, making them much more accessible then they otherwise would be.

[veritas55]

Ron is all class.
What a genuinely nice guy.

I miss Buckethead's playing, however (I happen to think Buckethead is a musical genius).  But I think Ron really relishes this gig and shows appreciation and happiness for his position.  He deserves it, and the fans benefit from it.
