Guns N Roses to Play Argentina:

 

 

The "new" GN'R, the same who played for 200,000 people in Rock in Rio 3, will be in Buenos Aires in november to play at the end of the second edition of the Buenos Aires Hot Festival, in the argentinian Polo Camp. The Buenos Aires population will have the chance of see by third time the band, that, one time, the ex president Carlos Menem called a "wicked" band (or "a villanous band!?).

 

Also it was announced that this year will be a 4 seasons cicle: Autumn Hot in april, Winter Hot in july, Spring Hot in september and the second edition of Buenos Aires Hot Festival, in november's second forthnight. National and foreign artists will play,but, until now, the only show confirmed is GN'R.

 

The guns that will come have only 1 thing in common with the ones that came before: Axl Rose, that now has a prominent belly and is notoriously more quieter than in another times. But he's still playing the misterious and playing the game of the hide-and-seek with the photographers. During the time he stayed in Rio de Janeiro he went out thehotel few times and only his fans could photograph him. He only went to the beach one day in the early morning with 3 guards.

 

Then, he came to Buenos Aires as an unknown and walked by the city: he ate meat and went out with the president of his fan club. But, although there was the chance that the band would play in the Buenos Aires Hot Festival, Axl prefeered to wait for the band to be "more triained". Also, it trascended that the band asked for a high price to play (in Río they were paid more than half a million dollars).

 

The new GN'R lineup is completed with Buckethead (guitar), Brian (drums), Tommy Stinson (bass), and Robin Finck (guitar). From the original lineup only survived the tecladist Dizzy Reed. Musically, things have changed a little, too. The Guns model 2001 flirt with tecno rock, although they "keep supporting" on a guitar structure. And the main songs are the old ones, like Welcome to the jungle, Nightrain and November Rain.

 

When they come to Buenos Aires -if the band's intention gets realised- Chinese Democracy will be in stores, it's their first album in 10 years, and will be out in june. In Río, the band playied new songs. One of the new songs, a rocker ballad, has the cd's name. Maybe to create some expectation and try to revive the mystic that GN'R had on it's glory days.
