Guns N’ Roses leader, Axl Rose arrives at Rio one day before the opening show in Brasília, the capital of Brazil.

Axl Rose Arrives at Rio for the South American Tour

Discretely, the singer and leader of Guns N’ Roses, Axl Roses arrived at the International Airport Tom Jobim on the morning this Saturday, the 6th. Pushing his own luggage car followed by a few security men and friends, Axl walked across the lobby with a serious face. From there he went to the Sheraton Hotel in São Conrado, a southern neighborhood in Rio, where he will stay overnight to then, head to Brasília on a private jet for the first concert of the South American Tour, on Sunday the 7th.

Guns N’ Roses last show in Brazil was in 2001, when they played in Rock in Rio 3. This time, the band will do 5 shows across the country, starting with Brasília on the 7th then Belo Horizonte, on the 10th; São Paulo on the 13th, Rio on the 14th and closes the Brazillian leg of the tour in Porto Alegre on the 16th, where gunsnrosesfans.com will be for the coverage of the gig.

GN'R South America Tour

The Chinese Democracy South America Tour starts tomorrow in Brasilia - Brazil. Here’s the complete list of confirmed gigs. Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Porto Alegre are already sold out, most of the other venues have only a few tickets left, so if you want to be part of this, you better hurry!

Santiago(Chile) location is still uncertain due to the earthquake that destroyed part of the ‘Club Hipico‘ where Guns N’ Roses were supposed to play at.

Well played, Axl. Well played.

New York Post gossip column, Page Six, reports that Axl Rose and Scarlett Johansson sure are spending a lot of time in the same places. The aging rocker and sultry actress were spotted at an after-hours spot in NoHo a week ago Wednesday, the Box on Thursday, and the Boom Boom Room on Sunday until 3 a.m. On Tuesday of this week, after the curtain of “A View From the Bridge,” Johansson was seen playing pingpong with Rose at SPiN.

“They were laughing the whole time,” says a spy.

“They looked like they were having fun.” The Guns N’ Roses frontman later turned up solo at celebrity haunt Avenue. A different source said, “He swaggered in wearing jeans and an unbuttoned T-shirt, showing off his chest, and wearing lots of bracelets and rings. He had a pingpong paddle in his hand . . . He was in a good mood drinking vodka . . . He even danced on the table for a while.” Johansson’s new husband, Ryan Reynolds, is in New Orleans filming “Green Lantern.”

Axl Rose is back on war against the press and the internet, the man CLEARLY doesn’t care for/like the 140 characters limit on twitter.

Guns n' Roses in Nyc

Flashbulbs popped, tequila flowed and a cool crowd including Russell Simmons, Dita Von Teese, Mickey Rourke, Adrian Grenier, Chloë Sevigny, Strokes‘ Fabrizio Moretti and other assorted models and musicians let loose last night at swanky Nur Khan’s Rose Bar in New York’s Gramercy Park Hotel, where Guns N’ Roses played a secret, invite-only show.

The surreal soirée was GN’R’s second unannounced New York Fashion Week appearance in the past few days. (Thursday they played the John Varvatos store, former site of CBGBs).

Hitting the stage after 1:30AM with ‘You’re Crazy,’ notorious frontman Axl Rose and his new GN’R musicians bedazzled the small, jam-packed room with an hour-and-a-half of classics, as well as newer material from ‘Chinese Democracy.’
Songs like ‘Welcome to the Jungle,’ ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,’ ‘Mr. Brownstone,’ ‘Patience,’ and ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ jetted us into a rock ‘n’ roll fantasy, where booze is the fountain of youth, cigarettes are good for you, and sex is the engine of everything. (It was a good place to be for a night.)

Guns N Roses frontman tours in support of long-gestating album

Axl Rose is that rarest of rock and roll luminaries. Where others sprint to the finish line, pumping out disc after disc (lest they disappoint their fans), the legendary frontman of Guns n’ Roses prefers to saunter. But, 15 years after starting work on Chinese Democracy – the band’s sixth studio album, formally released in 2008 – Rose is touring the world to both acclaim and clamour. He brings his signature sound to the Moncton Coliseum February 3.

As for what took him so long, the normally media-wary Rose told Billboard Magazine, “There aren’t too many issues of the hundreds [we ran into] that happened as quickly as anyone would have preferred, from building my studio [to] finding the right players. All that aside, it’s the right record and I couldn’t ask for more in that regard. The art comes first. It dictates if not the course [then] the destination.”

Fair warning: this is not exactly the Guns n’ Roses of old. In fact, Rose is the only original member to survive the turbulent shake-ups that saw such prominent figures as Slash and Izzy Stradlin take their embittered leave. The band’s current incarnation features Dizzy Reed on piano, Tommy Stinson on bass, Chris Pitman on keyboards, and Richard Fortus on rhythm guitar. Add to that Frank Ferrer on drums, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, and DJ Ashba on lead guitar.
