gnr=axl Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 GN'R Have Fun In Rio Written by sp/atSunday, 28 May 2006 Merck Mercuriadis has checked in with us again to update us on Guns' tour.He says Axl and co. had fun yesterday in Lisbon, despite there being a few problems. He tells us;"Overall it was an amazing night and an amazing crowd but we had problems with the band's monitor desk blowing up and there were many times that they could not hear. Axl had a muscle spasm probably caused by the slippery stage wings that slowed him down and gave him a lot of pain and he is working with a specialist in Milan to get through it. It was a really fun show and could have been worse all things considered and we're lucky we didn't cock it up any worse than we did."Roll on Hungary!

sphere79 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) "Overall it was an amazing night and an amazing crowd but we had problems with the band's monitor desk blowing up and there were many times that they could not hear.I told my wife during some of the earlier songs "listen how Brain and the band are off a bit". You could tell there were monitor problems. Especially at festivals like Rio if the band can't hear it's usually a disaster, they did good all things considered.

bangit Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) I was there, the show was great, axl was great, he moved like a 20 year old during out to get me etc.... he was great. If there were any major problems they certainly werent noticable at the show. The sound was great. They did cock up beginin of patience and paradice city, but not badly. 2 mistakes in a 2 hour 15 min set, thats pretty fuckin good if you ask me.

bunbury_hmr Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Maybe someone knows this ........ Does Viagra give you Spasm attacks?Axl shacks up with a Model for the night and the next one he has spasm problems? Hmmm. I guess for his b-day you guys should send him some Kamasutra and Yoga books for the guy. He needs a new picker up in order to work his moves?
