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.

Cool with it all except for where they called this band the "band that made history".

Hopefully a world tour!

Last time the band went to Chile in 1992 it almost ended thanks to someone throwing something on the stage.

[jamillos]

Yeah, especially during Civil War, Axl was quite pissed off back then. You can dwnld whole the show.

Besides the awesome VR (We haz Splash, Muff MCGayman and Fatt Scrotum!!!!!) we're playing for half filled venues on their tour. Talk about failure.

Calm down kid, not everyone is going to share the same opinion as you, even on a GNR/Axl's Band forum.
I'm not hating, I got the expensive tickets to their concert back in 07 (gotta love getting the presale ones), I got my two copies of Chinese Democracy, merchandise, bootlegs etc but I'm just being realistic, like it or not.

An arena is one thing, a stadium is around triple the capacity, so its not as easy to sell out.
Plus with the reviews that Chinese Democracy got and people starting to realise its not quite "Guns N Roses" anymore, I can't really see them filling a stadium up, an arena, yes, easily but not a stadium unless they have another major band (that hasn't become a joke) playing as well, not Rose Tattoo, Bullet For My Valentine, Sebastian Bach (even though he is good) etc, Aerosmith, Metallica type.

for starters it isn't Axl's Band. Its Guns N' Roses the clue is that its on all the posters on the album on the website. Just cause that faggot slash isnt there anymore don't stop it being GnR. Lets face it most stuff he has done that wasn't in GnR sucks compared to how good CD is. CD wouldn't be anywhere as good as it is if Slash was still there GnR would still be stuck playing 80's music or that skater sounding crap he puts out these days.

Also GnR could fill stadiums no band could fill every stadium on a tour its just not possible.
Reviews dont mean thats the opinion shared by everyone who has heard CD everyone I know who has heard it loves it.

To some people it is, to some people it isn't, I'm in the 'isn't' category.

I'd say it would be equal, haven't heard the Snakepit albums but his stuff with VR was good (don't overreact people, I know a lot of you can't help it though)

That stuff from the 80s is what put this band on the map, it would sound a hell of a lot better than the industrial 'listen to how fast I can play' stuff on CD, like I said, I still liked the album but since its Axl's Bands first album, I suppose it would be my favourite by them.

Good point, obviously but the album wasn't exactly well recieved by most fans which IMO will dent their so called stadium tour.
If they promote it the way they promoted Chinese Democracy then another failed project might be heading their way.
