xBrownstonex Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) Guns n’ Roses are coming to Rock in Rio-Lisboa!Axl Roses’ band will headline the 2nd day of the world’s biggest music event. It’s confirmed: Guns n’ Roses are coming to Rock in Rio-Lisboa to headline the 2nd day, May 27th. And with this confirmation, all World Stage headliners are now known. The Axl Rose led band is responding to the thousands of fans who asked the band to come through the official site of the event. This promises to be another memorable day for all who will come to the Bela Vista Park and more in specific for all those who have been waiting for the day that Guns would come. Guns n’ Roses was the most requested band by the official site users, amongst all bands, by all fans, whether Portuguese or international. It is expected that many international fans will travel to Lisbon to be there to hear the material on the new album ‘Chinese Democracy’ for the first time live. In an interview with the American magazine Rolling Stone in January of this year, Axl Rose confirmed that this long awaited Guns n’ Roses album was ‘very complex’ and that it would be a surprise for all the fans. Axl followed that by saying that he was ‘trying something different’ and that certain arrangements would be very different from what the fans were expecting and probably closer to the sound of Queen. ‘Better’, ‘There Was A Time’ and ‘The Blues’ are some of the titles of in total 26 new songs.In 2001, the new version of Guns n’ Roses performed at the third edition of Rock in Rio. More than 200.000 fans witnessed the return of Guns n’ Roses, after 7 years away from the stage. Axl Rose introduced the new band during a show of more than two hours, which was considered to be the best of the entire event. Today, 5 years later, the show of Guns n’ Roses at the City of Rock promises to be a historic one, both for Rock in Rio and for Portugal. By: Paulo M.

But...If I were an organizer for RIR, I wouldn't touch Gn'R with a 10ft pole!whyhere's why:LISBON, Portugal - (BUSINESS WIRE) - March 30, 2004 - Guns N' Roses will not be performing as scheduled at Rock In Rio - Lisbon. The band has been put in an untenable position by guitarist Buckethead and his untimely departure. During his tenure with the band Buckethead has been inconsistent and erratic in both his behavior and commitment - despite being under contract - creating uncertainty and confusion and making it virtually impossible to move forward with recording, rehearsals and live plans with confidence. His transient lifestyle has made it impossible for even his closest friends to have nearly any form of communication with him whatsoever. Last time I talked to Bucket, he called to tell me he had bought a bootleg DVD off EBay and how proud he was to be in Guns and how impressed he was with everyone's performance. Then, in February we got word from Brain that Bucket had called him and said he was back in Guns!? Apparently, according to Bucket he had been "Gone" but had turned himself around and was really excited to do Rio-Lisbon and a European tour. Somewhere in the following month things changed once again. According to those who have actually spoken with Buckethead it appears his plans were to secure a recording contract with Sanctuary Records which I encouraged my management to make available to him, quit GN'R and to use his involvement in the upcoming Guns release to immediately promote his individual efforts...Nice guy! There is not a member of this camp that is not hurt, upset and ultimately disappointed by this event, and more to the point - if not this individual, certainly this individual's choices. Regardless of anyone's opinions of me and what I may or may not deserve, clearly the fans, individuals in this band, management, crew and our support group do not deserve this type of treatment. We as a whole, definitely feel that we afforded Bucket every accommodation perhaps so much so that it may be that we or more precisely, I may have done Guns a disservice and unintentionally allowed Guns to be put in this position. On behalf of Guns N' Roses and myself I apologize to the fans who planned to see us at Rock In Rio - Lisbon. The festival and its tradition mean a lot to me personally and I sincerely do not enjoy being robbed by one of our own of the opportunity to be the first artist to play it for the third time. I would also like to express my gratitude to those who chose to embrace Buckethead's role in Guns and support our new line up. We greatly appreciate Bucket's contributions and remain open to "discussions" as there are obviously several issues to resolve. In the meantime rather than dwelling on the negative, Guns will be moving forward and surprisingly (without giving away any details) this unfortunate set of circumstances may have given us the opportunity to take our recording that one extra step further. Regardless we hope to announce a release date within the next few months. Sincerely, W. Axl Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...If I were an organizer for RIR, I wouldn't touch Gn'R with a 10ft pole!whyuh, because last time Gn'R was confirmed to play at RIR, they backed out a couple of months before the actual show. Sure, you can blame Buckethead for that, but if I'm investing a few million dollars into a show like this, I wouldn't risk my money on such an unreliable band. I don't care how good the band is, if they're likely to not turn up, I'm going to take a huge loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
