Concert in Rio 14 maart afgelast! Updates + filmpje!
Afgelopen nacht is het concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazilie afgelast omdat het podium gedeeltelijk ingestort was door storm en regen.
In eerste instantie leek het erop dat er leden van de GN'R- en plaatselijke crew gewond zouden zijn, maar gelukkig viel dat later nogal mee.
Onderstaande statements werden geplaatst:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!!
ATTENTION: The March 14th Guns N' Roses show in Rio De Janeiro at Apoteose Stadium has been officially canceled for this evening due to the stage collapsing because of heavy rains. Stay tuned for more info and possible rescheduling information as we receive it.
There is a possibility the show may be rescheduled for tomorrow night March 15th or at a later date. There fortunately are no fatalities but there are injuries from both our camp and Rio crews the extent of which is not known at present. The Rio Fire Dept is evacuating crews out of the venue to avoid further injuries with the heavy rains and winds. Details are just coming in. Also a truck w/part of The Sebastian Bach Band's gear has rolled on the trip from Sao Paulo to Rio what is our understanding several times and we are awaiting details on the safety of the driver at this time. Thank you for your understanding and please be safe out there. Thank you. Axl Rose-
Del James: - The stage in Rio collapsed due to a massive thunder storm. Doors to the stadium had not yet opened to the public so no fans were inside when the stage collapsed. The band was not at the venue when this occurred The earliest reports lead us to to believe that there may have been casualties and serious injuries. Th...ankfully that was not the case. Everyone in the GNR crew are shaken up but doing fine. We will keep everyone posted as more information comes in but the most important thing is that everyone, GNR as well as local crew and stage hands, are alive and well.
RIO UPDATE: All injuries appear to be minor. There were originally radio reports of a fatality which has fortunately turned out to be false. Initial reports are that our staging is for the most part ok but a more accurate assessment is being made. No word yet on if the show will be moved to tomorrow the 15th or another night. Reportedly Baz's truck driver is ok as well. Thank you again for your understanding.

RIO UPDATE: They're now saying the venue actually experienced a minor tornado. Either that or regional Global media blowing usual hot air.
J/k !! Love, El Gordo!!
Bumblefoot:
The stage collapsed in Rio. Latest update I received was that no one was injured, the gear survived. No discussion yet on if a make-up show will be possible, we'll need to give it time for the business folks to work all that out. At the hotel, spending some time with a great group of GNR fans... http://www.twitpic.com/18nebl Thousands of people made a big effort to be at the show tonight, I wish there was something I could do for you all.
Bedankt: gnrjanus, @pestaartje, Bushka en Bobby Jarzombek.

"Fuck!! The NY shows were insane!! Love the free form laid back vibe n' both were completely different from r view. The fans were AMAZING!! John (Varvatos) was really great! And to keep CBGB's rockin'?! Badass!! Goin' into Rose Bar was rough on some. Lotta best left memories from the old hotel. The gig helped w/some o' those. Felt really good on stage. (We actually 'LIKE' playing together n' I absolutely agree some things should b a lot less complicated than others made them in the past that's why we're together n' other's by their own accord ain't here.) We all had a great time, it was a madhouse!! Thanks to everyone who came out n' those who helped put 'em 2gether. Good to have a short break n' gear up 4 South America. I LOVE NY!!
"On another note GUNS is now managed by Doc McGhee n' we're off to a fun start. Big welcomes! It's nice to have the support!!"
