Fans unveil a massive banner for the band

GnR played a WILDLY successful show in Brasilia, greeted by a huge, high energy crowd. The crowd sang EVERY WORD to the new songs in unison and the band itself was visibly surprised, especially Bumblefoot and DJ Ashba. From the moment they opened the set with ‘Chinese Democracy’, the crowd jumped and sang every note, for almost 2 hours and 30 minutes. Dj Ashba in particular fed off of the energy: he stagedived THREE TIMES.

In the middle of the concert, a group of 70 people unraveled a giant banner with the band’s new logo painted on it. As the banner took shape, the band tried to play at the same time they stared at it in awe. It was right before Axl’s center walkway and even he could not hide his shock.

People of all ages were there, including MANY people who were not even born when ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ was released; none of them cared about who ever was in the band before. DJ seemed to be the fan favorite band member (apart from Axl) in this lineup.

Axl looked very thin and in great shape. Another fun fact: as he played ‘The Wall’ at the piano before ‘November Rain’, he changed the lyrics to ‘on and on you’re just..another bitch on my balls’.

Judging by the response the new material and the band are having on the SA tour so far, a reunion seems to be more and more unnecessary.
