  1. I'm sharing it in a while on Direct Connect in the GNR hub (hub.newgnr.com), see www.newgnr.com for explanations about that hub (Can I do that?). The file is called: 00 Coma (Soundcheck) (Rock In Rio II) Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (1-23-91).mpg

  2. Hey Natalie92, it's funny, I actually have a vid of that second pic in your "Axl Gallery" (maybe you do too) but anyway, Axl is rehearsing Coma (!!!!!!! get the hint Axl !!!!!!!) and somebody is laughing or whatever and he gets quite upset......Axlwise......

    So he's actually not that happy in that pic!

  3. paralelism! enlighten!

    Actually I do like to inform you.

    A: "Not much interest in the European shit" was obviously stated towards the forummembers outside of Europe since hardly anyone from those whereabouts (except for one guy, thank you) responded. Not that my little tale was so great, it was more a fact that hardly anyone viewed it and seemed to be more interested in Tommy Hillfiger.

    B: I did not "bitch" about the amount of people showing up, I bitched about the fact that I was worried few people would show up, there is a big difference there. Now you came with some good info that I missed for some reason and proved my worries were not justified. Thanks again.

    C: How the hell can you call a nostalgic nerd that goes to the arena 4 days before the concert and who writes too much about it, "someone spreading negative stuff and bitching and all"?? I really think you missed my point or read the whole thing with a negative bias from the point I said that the nice woman pronounced GNR funny. I know how you Spanish always get very upset when someone makes fun of your language skills, I'm sorry, easy jokes, won't do it again and yes your English is more than fine.

    D: Enjoy the show

  4. Maiki, I'm your biggest fan! About the English: You might write it, you might speak it, but you just don't seem to understand it......how about three months Sacramento this year? And oh yeah, swear more in your next post, makes you look more mature! Cool that it's sold out though, thanks for the info mate!

  5. Hi guys,

    For what's it worth: I took some shots of the stage so you kinda have an idea.

    Can't wait for tomorrow!!!!

    It's an open arena, lot's of people working, some security around, wouldn't let me in though. I made the pics over the fence (pathetic, I know). Hopefully it gives you guys some idea.

    Cheers,

  6. Hi guys (back on the board after 6 years....),

    Just wanted to share this with you. I had a job interview yesterday near Parque Juan Carlos I which has the Auditorio Juan Carlos I in it. So after the interview I thought "let's check it out". Then I found out that the park was damn huge and I couldn't find the Auditorio (auditorium I guess in English). I went to an information desk and asked if they was going to be a Guns N' Roses show in this place in a few days. The guy told me "we don't know, they are thinking of changing it to Getafe (crappy city close to Madrid)" and that's when I thought "oh fuck, here we go again....."

    It's not the first time I'll buy a ticket (2002 Guns in Gelredome Holland...) for GNR and something happens and they don't show up. Well I guess we all have had our experiences with Axl and his old & new friends.

    So I thought, what the hell, let's check it out anyway. So the guy told me where to go (long walk, damn it) and eventually I found the Auditorio and appoaching it I could already here some hammering and stuff! The place looks great!!! Three days before the concert and there were already about 25 persons working on the stage, even some amps were visible (covered in plastic). I thought "this must be for something else" but some security guards told me with a wonderful Spanish accent that is was definitely for "Gans ent Ruses".

    The stage looks huge! Very high. It's an open air arena, I think the first time they play out in the open since Rock in Rio in 2001. I'm looking forward to it so much! It's been 13 years since I saw Axl set things off. Anyway, sorry for all this useless crap, I'm just excited. I only think that there might be very few people showing up since I have litterarely seen 2 pieces of paper on some random walls in Madrid saying Guns was playing and the guy telling me about moving the concert, no one knows...but what the hell, maybe I'll get my own private Hammersteinlike concert. Sorry I didn't bring a camera.

    I must have looked quite stupid with a suit and tie on and all but it was worth it. Just 2 more nights....

    See ya,

    Base

    ps. For those who care: The interview went well, haha!
