I thought you had seen shows there before. Not sure yet whether I will get there that early. In Europe I got to the venue 1 - 2 hours before and always got to front or second row.

Trust me, I know enough Bon Jovi to think his band, his songs or his lineup are all pretty awful. I bet you only know the cheesy ballads and the sing along rock anthems.

Yes and they're not very good. The only good thing I can picture about this band is Desmond Child and Richie Sambora. The rest is garbage.

Yeah, so it's kinda ignorant saying that their songs are 'pretty awful' when you don't know most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's great and got a kick ass band. Sorry I was posting from mobile. Slash posted the image on Facebook, I meant to link to his post.

Derick Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 @PatrickS77 @ChristmasFnatic I would tell you guys not to go too early for the line. I've been to several shows there, including festivals, and I suggest you rest as much as possible. There the pit (in the SP Trip case, there´s no Pit in RIR) is not like in Europe or US, it is much bigger, with a lot more people and, as you may have already seen through videos, there they jump during almost the whole show, especially those who stay close to the stage. The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to arrive at the venue by 6 or 7p.m. And during the last show before the GNR you begin to mix with the audience always with the goal of moving towards the stage. Jump and dance with them and, little by little, move towards the stage. If you go too early, you risk getting tired or need to go out for a drink or go to the bathroom (things that happen to almost everyone who arrive too early). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got there shortly before GNR started. Jumped somewhere into 10th row during Jungle and then 3rd row during Nightrain. While others stood there since 10 in the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristmasFnatic Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Thanks for the advice @Derick! @PatrickS77 its great! Quite cold now, didnt expect it especially since I was expecting a similar weather as my country. Tropical and all. I ran/jog at Copacobana around 7pm. Was really afraid for my phone but nothing happened and saw a lot of people. Just be careful as they say. Sooo many pretty girls. Lol. But everything seems more expensive than normal. Its really a great experience especially when you are going from a totally different culture/language. And when I tell people I dont speak Portuguese, they seem interested to talk more. Lol.
