Estava tudo preparado para o show secreto e intimista do Guns n' Roses no clube Disco, quinta à noite, em SP.

Palquinho montado com bateria, teclado e percussão; setlist com 17 músicas (com "Paradise City" encerrando); vários fãs verdadeiros da banda no local (Marcos Mion, Ana Beatriz Barros, Daniella Cicarelli, Isabelli Fontana etc.); produtores do grupo à espera.

Aí, por volta da 0h30, alguém diz: "O Axl vai deixar o hotel [Hyatt] à 1h".

À 1h, outro alguém avisa: "O Axl vai deixar o hotel às 2h".

Aí às 2h30 surge o rumor: Axl estaria com dor de garganta e teria sido levado a um hospital. Pouco depois, os equipamentos começam a ser desmontados.

Lá dentro, brigas. Endinheirados revoltados se socando; uma modelo tentando bater na outra com uma garrafa de champanhe... Do lado de fora, mais confusão, correria, xingamentos. Uma equipe do Pânico foi agredida; dois seguranças da casa pularam uma cerca e foram atrás de um rapaz.

Segundo o próprio Marcos Mion, um dos sócios da casa, outro dos donos da Disco, Marcos Maria, brigou com os seguranças da banda, que estavam levando os instrumentos que o clube havia locado. Que beleza.

E assim foi o "show secreto" do Guns na Disco.

E o setlist do "não-show", capturado pela Fernanda Ezabella, que apurou várias das coisas que rolaram ontem:

It ended in confusion, the secret show that the Guns N 'Roses would do in the club Disco in Sao Paulo, on the evening of Thursday, 11. The group came to build the structure of the stage - the acoustic setting, with estimates of 17 songs to the repertoire - and do a soundcheck in the afternoon, but decided not to at the last minute. What should be just a disappointment ended in brawls.

Despite having been known as a "secret" show, the location and date of the event had been publicized in advance by the newspaper Folha de S. Paul. Many of the guests did not have struggled to hide the information, publishing them in various social networks like Facebook and Twitter. At the club, journalists from newspapers, magazines, websites and TV circulated by the environment, invited by the owners (informally, not professionally, according to the press) and the band.

Around 2:20, the U.S. team the band began to dismantle the equipment and boxed it - peacefully, without tumult. Unsatisfied, the owners of local professionals and confronted one of the tools just damaged in the melee, which included verbal abuse and many beatings. According to Twitter the presenter Marcos Mion, a principal at the Disco, Mark was the manager Maria, another member of the house, who started the physical conflict. "You are out and about! @ C marcosm pissed the Securities q Axl started to take the tools he lets people qa and punched them!" Wrote in microblog Mion, during the run. When leaving the house, he stopped to talk to the press.

On Twitter, both as Maria Mion said the lead singer had abused the drug and therefore would not have appeared, but the band's representatives have denied that the use of drugs is unrelated to the incident.

Outside the fight that involved the owner of the Disco and the team of the band, the confusions disrupted the night there. A struggle began in one of the toilets, followed by a conflict between two denizens - who even shot glasses and even a bottle of champagne on each other.

According to Mark Campos, a partner in Disco and organizer of the festival on Thursday, the house had an estimated loss of $ 60 mil. "I called [agent] to 1 of Axl and said, I do not need you. You are decadent, I m not." During the interview, people who were in the manager insisted that the show had been canceled because the singer had been hospitalized due to an overdose, the very fact that Campos denied. "They're making this up just to burn the guy, do not know anything."

Outside, a program team Pânico na TV taping a report with the comedians and Eduardo Sterblitch Carioca (the Freddie Mercury Silver) when he was approached by a frequenter of the house, changed, exchanged punches with cameras and illuminators. The boy ran away and was not identified. The advice of the TV network said it would not comment, but the program director, Alan Rapp, wrote about what happened on Twitter. "The Carioca called me at dawn, around 4 of matina, telling the club plummet from Mion. Our team also picked up!"

Among the guests who were waiting for the show of Guns N 'Roses at the Disco were Pitty, Daniela Cicarelli, Junior, members of the NX Zero, Sepultura and Home Capital, among others.

Through the office of his business, Guns N 'Roses denied rumors that the rest of the Brazilian tour - which also has shows scheduled for Sao Paulo (March 13th), Rio (14) and Porto Alegre (16) -- have been canceled.

Yep, Axl forget he's 48 and partying all the time is tiresome. It's possible but only if you haven't a rock show to do and can sleep for a long time.

Gunner22 who was at the gig in Belo Horizonte wrote this:

To be honest, the gig was so awesome that I didn't even realised the set had been short. After the show I was like "Wait? did they play better? I don't think so." So.. only after the show I realized how short it was. I don't know if that was the reason, but Axl said he was hungover, and said that he didn't get any sleep the night before, he said he got there in Belo Horizonte 4 am and the band was hanging at the bar so he didn't sleep and we should blame his hangover on the Caipirinhas 

I wrote some time ago if he ever wanna make it to Europe he better slow down, he's ruining his voice. Furthermore I think this is again Axl Rose who doesn't care about his fans. I would have been pissed if I had to travel far and pay a lot off money to see that band. That guy never grows up..........

Edited after reading the piece by NewGNRnOldGNR: so he can do a secret gig with his soar throat but not a decent set list for the fans? And there's uproar again? Right!

[rds.06]

The translation isnt that great. So the secret gig was called off due to a Axl having a sore throat, which might explain the shorter set at the last show?

...so rock and roll

[mickey.rourke]

even if short setlist i would have loved this the most

[sweetbreakdown]

1) Axl doesn't have anything related to his throat
2) Fuck the reason why the show was cancelled - the good thing is that the owner of the club, a guy named Marcos Mion, was a VJ for MTV Brazil for some years n' from day one to his last day he always made himself clear of how he hates Axl n' GN'R. So it ended up bein' a good n' nice kick in his ass even if it wasn't the real reason the show was cancelled!

GN'R I SAO PAULO! TODAY IS THE DAY!

YEAH!

[smoothie illusion]

this made the news here. I guess there was an intense riot?

[chopper rose]

AN A-list crowd of Brazilian billionaires and supermodels rioted after waiting hours for Guns N' Roses to perform, and then learning Axl Rose and his band wouldn't play.

The exclusive concert - due to be held in a Sao Paulo club and hosted by Ana Beatriz Barros and fellow lingerie models - got out of hand about 3am Friday (local time), the New York Post reports.

"The audience got angry and started to mount the stage, and fight and destroy everything," a source told The Post.

"It was wild. There were fights everywhere, on the dance floor, in the bathrooms, outside the club. Crazy. I guess the free drinks didn't help."

Guns N' Roses were to play three private show in South America at venues designed to hold about 150 people.


Rose is the only remaining member left from the band when its popularity peaked during a decade spanning the 1980s and 1990s.

The other members were either ousted or quit. Even though its 2008 album Chinese Democracy, its first release in 17 years, was a major flop, the band remains a strong concert draw.

[Adriana Galore]

A-list billionaires and models?      Looks like cheap Z-list nouveau riche to me!  Though Ana Beatriz Barros is a well known model.

I copied gunner22 piece (sorry gunner but this is the internet!!) and he was there when Axl did a shorter set and "blamed a sore throat". What's new with our Axl? 

[Peaches]

He's always singing so harsh. I assume he feels like he has a sore throat from a cold all the time with the way he's singing.

[bloodyhell81]

if you watch the vids from the concert its bloody obvious that hes got a sore throat. he did well peforming the way he did on the night. well done axl
