I love every version of GN'R, (and yes im not at the show tonight- blah bah blah) but surely enough is enough with the same old tired setlist and no aspirations of playing new music. The band members must be getting sick of playing the same set over and over and over and over and over for years apon years.

2-3 new songs were promised and the crazy Rio fans got NOTHING.
I am loosing a lot of respect for whatever Axl is trying to do with this band.


If he brings that tour back down to Australia with no new material, I wont be going.
And before anyone says im not "real" fan hinge whinge whinge -I have a  NEW GN'R tattoo.

But I am sure the fans had a wonderful time tonight at the show, and that's what matters right?

Could we take Brazil anthem as new song also?

GNR anno domini 2014 is a pure joke.

It was sold out

[sworrm]

Soooo , did he even say anything of interest ? Or just sing the same songs in the same order wearing the same clothes etc etc !!! Nice for Rio to see a legend I'm sure they had fun but c'mon ,,,, it's just a nostalgia act now isn't it ??
Real shame , I've defended them to the hilt over the years but what's the point in this ? Money ? Anyway good luck to them , if they ever release any new music I will be the first in line .

I don't think anyone would doubt that u are a huge GnR fan since U have a freakin GnR Tatoo! not to mention only a very small percentage of  GnR fans know about or read this fan forum- but I'm willing to bet  more than %90 or so of people who have seen GnR since 2006 with basically the identical lineup sans DJ since 2009 & mostly the same set list & pool of songs have not seen them multiple times-  I'm sure most of those people are thrilled to have the opportunity to see GnR in any form live & are blown away by how awesome they are live. I am part of the very hardcore fans that has seen them live 15x since 2006, IMO every show has been unique & pretty unpredictable- I always hope for Axl to be on fire & for the band to perform one of their 3-4 hour marathon shows. Truth be told, other than knowing almost for certain they will open with CD,Jungle, ISE,& Brownstone & R gonna end with Nightrain & PC as finale, I don't know until I see the show if Axl is gonna be great or" Fucking balls to the wall blazing" nor do I know if will B a short 2hr.  show for them or pull out all the stops & play 4 hrs. or if they will throw in songs like TWAT,Catcher IRS ,OTGM, civil War, Better, Shackler's, Sorry, ITW, MY M, U To L Her, Don't Cry etc. or numerous different covers that have not been automatic staples at shows. Then there R little nuances like whether Axl is gonna throw in "With Your ASS in the AIR!" During YCBM (almost a certain indicator he is on fire), so IMO there is plenty of variation for a hardcore fan as myself that does see multiple shows each tour. Whereas, most bands play note for note the exact same order of 90min- 2hr shows with every tour only rotating in a few new ones if they are touring to support an album. So i don't know why anyone would be surprised or disappointed if they are a fan.

 U are, of course entitled to feel however you want- I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in 

[rebelhipi]

we got three ''premieres''

Teenage Kicks
La Bella Vita
Abnormal


still some people complains.

Show was schedueled to start at 10PM. The boys hit the stage around 11:50PM...the crowd was already loosing its pacience as usual...a lot of booing in between background songs. However, when the band hit the stage everyone had a blast...crowd was very loud, Axl highlighted that at some point of the show! 
Even though promoters claimed all tickets were sold, the place was not packed. There was a lot of empty seats at the stands and I watched the show pretty close to the stage and rather comfortable i'd say. I estimate around 80% of the venue capacity was fulfilled...not lame but not packed. IMO this has a lot to do with the fact the the show was not on a weekend, people have to work the next day and Rio de Janeiro is a huge mess nowadays with a lot of construction and road blocks goin`on in preparation for the World Cup and the Olympic Games...people are taking many hours to move from one place to another. All of this contrubutes for low attendance IMO.

As for the concert, I wasnt really expecting any major surprises, it was ok for me! Glad they did Catcher, Estranged and Dont Cry...however i missed Civil War.
Rocket Queen was not played either!
Axl did not take off his jacket, glasses and hat at any moment despite the hot temperature in the venue...the guy must have lost some pounds!

Happy to hear the show went well and the crowd was happy.

But this actually is a bit shocking to me. It's the same presentation, same bunch of songs, in the same order, with the same solo spots/intros, as they've been touring now for 5 years. And this in the same country! They hit Brazil in 2010 and in 2011.

Maybe I'm just getting old. Had I gone to a show now in 2014 and had been served the same "presentation" as I saw (twice) in 2010, eh, I'd be bummed. And amazed. That goes for any artist or group.

Pretty much.

Its incredibly disappointing, but truthfully, not the least bit surprising.  Its very discouraging how uninterested this "band" seems to be in moving forward.
