Re: Guns N' Roses To Play Chile?
Axl and the new Guns N' Roses coming closer to Chile.
The negotiations to bring GN'R to Chile in 2009 are firm.
The problem? The availability of the National Stage.
Chilean fans of 1990s Californian Rock will have the opportunity to see a band that made history: Guns N' Roses.
A local promoter is almost finished with negotiations to bring to the group to Chile.
According to a source near the production of the event, the contract is ready and the concert already has a date: Axl Rose and company would appear in Chile this September.
GN'R would visit within the framework of a world-wide tour in support of its new album Chinese Democracy.
But one detail is missong. This is nothing less than the lack of an agreed venue for the Mega-band.
Everything depends on if the promoter is able to rent the National Stage, which has closed its doors to concerts in favor of sport events.
The decision has forced the promoters of massive concerts, to establish meetings with government authorities so that the Stadium can be used. If not, we are afraid that Chile will leave the circuit of big concerts.
Yesterday, nevertheless, there was at least a meeting between the two parties.
Promoter Francisco Goñi met with the undersecretary of Sports, Jaime Pizarro, and with the head of cabinet Minister Carolina Tohá.
"We felt listened to," Goñi said of the meeting when coming out, and without going into detail regarding the content of the discussion, said that "we are keeping the talks private."
Goñi is looking for flexibility regarding the use of the Coliseum, with the purpose of allowing the Jonas Brothers concert to move from the Athletic Track to the Stadium or, at least, that the door is open so that future events can be realised there.
There is serious negotiations to bring to Chile U2, AC/DC, Coldplay and Britney Spears.
"When we get an answer we'll let you know" , Goñi said regarding a possible definitive decision by the authorities, that are now analyzing the arguments presented and displayed by the promoters to determine if they can authorize the use of the National Stadium for concerts.
Until now the sport leaders have been the main impediment of using the stage for concerts, arguing that the turf could be ruined by a concert.
Nevertheless, promoters are trying to assure sports leaders that has not happened at recent events and that, when damages have taken place, they have cooperated with the authorities.

Axl y el nuevo Guns N’Roses cada vez más cerca de Chile
Las negociaciones para traer a la renovada banda norteamericana estarían prácticamente resueltas para tocar en 2009. ¿El problema? La disponibilidad del Estadio Nacional.
SANTIAGO.- Los fanáticos del rock californiano de los 90’ tendrán la oportunidad de ver en Chile a una banda que hizo historia: Guns N’Roses.
Ello gracias a que las negociaciones para traer al grupo, resucitada por su histórico líder, Axl Rose, estaría prácticamente cerradas con una productora local.
Según una fuente cercana a la producción del evento, el contrato está listo y ya se tiene fecha tentativa para el recital: Axl Rose y compañía se presentaría en el mes de septiembre en nuestro país.
El grupo del disco "Apetite for destruction", visitaría el país en el marco de una gira mundial que contempla la presentación de su nuevo album "Chinese democracy".
Pero algo podría echar abajo la visita del grupo. Esto es nada menos que la falta de un recinto acorde para la megabanda. Todo depende de si la productora consigue arrendar el Estadio Nacional, que ha cerrado las puertas a conciertos a favor de eventos deportivos.
¿Chile sin recitales de alta convocatoria?
Tal decisión ha llevado a las productoras de recitales masivos, a entablar reuniones con autoridades de gobierno para que el recinto de Ñuñoa sea cedido. De no conseguirlo, se teme que Chile salga del circuito de recitales de alta convocatoria.
Ayer, sin embargo, hubo al menos un acercamiento entre las partes, tras la reunión que el director de la productora T4F, Francisco Goñi, sostuvo con el subsecretario de Deportes, Jaime Pizarro, y con el jefe de gabinete de la ministra Carolina Tohá.
"Nos sentimos escuchados", dijo Goñi a la salida del encuentro, y sin ahondar mayormente en el contenido de la discusión, que "queda en el ámbito de lo privado", aseguró.
Goñi buscaba flexibilizar la postura de Chiledeportes en torno al uso del coliseo ñuñoíno, con el fin de permitir que la actuación del trío Jonas Brothers se traslade desde la Pista Atlética a ese recinto o, por lo menos, que la puerta quede abierta para que venideros eventos puedan realizarse allí. Hay serias negociaciones para traer a Chile U2, AC/DC, Coldplay y Britney Spears.
"Cuando llegue una respuesta todos se van a enterar", dijo Goñi sobre un eventual pronunciamiento definitivo de las autoridades, que ahora estarían analizando los argumentos presentados por las productoras para determinar de forma definitiva si autorizan el uso del Nacional para la realización de conciertos.
Hasta ahora los dirigentes deportivos han sido los principales impulsores de que el estadio no se facilite a espectáculos, argumentando que el césped queda en mal estado, posteriormente. Sin embargo, productores aseguran que eso no ha ocurrido en los últimos eventos y que, cuando se han producido daños, han respondido de acuerdo con lo planteado por la autoridad.

Re: Guns N' Roses To Play Chile?
In before the bitching...
Which is actual bitching itself......or were you intentionally aiming for irony?
Since the date is headed towards fall, it makes me a bit more inclined to believe it might happen. I know these types of things have been mentioned before and nothing came of it, but since something is being planned, then various shows have to start popping up, even if they haven't signed on yet.
Hitting South America is actually a smart and strategic move.
Re: Guns N' Roses To Play Chile?
cool if it happens, hasn't there been chile rumors already?
Yeah, but that original site posted that story yesterday.
Re: Guns N' Roses To Play Chile?
September sounds likely to me for any dates, I've thought for a while any shows would be happening over autumn and winter (by the shire reckoning).
I always thought South America was due some shows since they were left out in 06/07, and Axl did say he would be back with a whole bunch of new songs - well now he has!

If they have an ounce of sanity, they'll start the tour in SA. Huge sold-out shows are guaranteed and it'd give them a chance to market themself for Europe and Asia/Australia, and in the end they might can book some shows in the US.
