GUNS N' ROSES To Play Brazil In April?

January 30, 2007

According to an online posting by journalist Roger Lerina of the Brazilian newspaper Zero Hora, GUNS N' ROSES will perform at the 15,000-capacity Gigantinho stadium in Porto Alegre, Brazil in April. Coincidentally, VELVET REVOLVER — the band featuring three former GUNS N' ROSES members — is also scheduled to play South America in April, with AEROSMITH also on the bill for several of the dates. Naturally, there has been no confirmation yet from the GN'R yet regarding the rumored Brazilian show or any other possible 2007 appearances in connection with the band's long-delayed new album, "Chinese Democracy".

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported earlier in the month that GUNS N' ROSES frontman W. Axl Rose was laying down the "final" vocals for "Chinese Democracy" at a recording studio at the Palms hotel and casino in Las Vegas. Axl posted an open letter at the group's web site last month in which he set March 6 as a tentative release date for the disc, adding that the band had scrapped its January tour dates in order to finish work on the album.

A plan to release "Chinese Democracy" late last year fell apart due to what Rose described as "unnecessary and avoidable complications," which were partly responsible for the singer's split with manager Merck Mercuriadis.

Mercuriadis himself said in his own letter than when "Chinese Democracy" finally arrives, it will be "one of the best albums ever made."
