Little I don't agree with, but he loose some of those Illusion things and keep some Chinese stuff there in return. We don't need Sympathy for the devil at all...just do This I Love or or something...whatever..just keep 2-3 Chinese.
Re: Guns N'Roses to play Rock in Rio
That's a GREAT shot of Axl on the front page.
Good for the Brazilian fans... even if I did kind of snap at them for being fanboys, for whatever reason.
I have my Axlisms too
Just an FYI, that GREAT pic of Axl was apparently taken by Jarmo. At least that's my understanding for Fernando thanking Jarmo for allowing them to use the picture. I know people love to dump on Jarmo and ask what the hell he does. Well, he took that picture, among many other great ones on the last tour. So that's something. Just giving credit where credit is due.
Re: Guns N'Roses to play Rock in Rio
They really need to do more from the UYI's when they tour again. And it would be good if they rotated songs in and out of the set from night to night. Like they could do one cover and switch between Live and Let Die, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Sympathy for the Devil, Down On The Farm, or Since I Don't Have You. Civil War, Don't Cry, November Rain, and Estranged should be played at every show, and then another one or two of the other UYI tracks should be played every night.
And limit the AFD songs to Jungle, It' So Easy, Paradise City and Sweet Child Of Mine and then maybe rotate one or two of the other songs in every night.
Plus four or five from CD - there weren't any clear hits so they can change them around ever night. And two or three new tracks, too!
