Crackers Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 AOL are covering RIR very well as we all know. Today they have got a picture of AXL in the news slides.Guns N' Roses Axl Rose is the star of the first Saturday night line-upAOL Rock in RioHow it all startedThe largest festival in the world has only taken place four times, 1985, 1991 and 2001 and 2004. This year AOL Music brings you online live footage of the festival, as well as exclusive performances and backstage gossip.The first Rock in Rio festival lasted 10 days, with 90 hours of music. Over 1.38 million people watched acts including AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Queen and Rod Stewart.Back in 1985 the stage was headlined by George Michael, Happy Mondays, INXS, A-Ha, Faith No More and New Kids on the Block – as well as three acts which appear again in 2006 – Santana and Guns n’ Roses.By 1991, the festival was broadcast live to 55 countries, and was watched by an incredible 580 million people.2001 saw Britney Spears, Beck, Foo Fighters, Oasis, Red Hot Chili Peppers, REM and Sting take to the stage for Rock in Rio III. By then the festival had become a huge charity event - For a Better World - with some of the proceeds being given to Viva Rio Organization and other vocational education projects, led by organisations like UNESCO.By 2004 the festival had relocated to Lisbon, Portugal, and included performances by Sir Paul McCartney and Sting.Still in Lisbon, this year's Rock in Rio is five nights, across two weekends and will feature performances from some of the biggest names in rock and pop. Highlights will include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Roger Waters, Jamiroquai, Shakira, Anastacia, Sting and a re-united Guns n’ Roses.If you can't make it to Lisbon, don't worry; you can still enjoy the concert live and for free, with AOL Music. And if you miss the concert, come back over the next few weeks to watch each individual performance and highlights from all the acts, as well as exclusive backstage interviews, gossip and footage.http://www.aol.co.uk/rio/about/Now i know RIR have said this before on their site, but not quite as direct.

Crackers Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 I have a dumb question. I have dialup but was considering getting high speed for the concert. Is there any way dialup would work.It be very low quality, very choppy and wouldn't be worth the hassle. High-speed is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
