rock in rio

[Fabricio]

well, i watched some of rock in rio shows on cable tv and i was really impressed by the marvelous guns n`roses show. Yes, the guy is impressive on stage, the songs seemed marvelous and the guy was very kind to the brazilian public... i thought i became a little bit crazy but all our better journalists said the same. I don`t know exactly why, but even the most exigeant journalist loved guns n` roses show.

rem came to brazil to. Well, have you ever perceived how much michael stype sings like morrissey? take a look he tries to make all moz movements on stage..

the band that the critics love nowadays (queens of stone age) had a guy who entered naked on stage and then was arrested... oh decadence without elegance...

britney spears is a beautiful girl and dances very well... but the brazilian femal singer sandy (she sang in rock in rio too) is much better than her!

oasis did a good show but really seemed bored.

and iron maiden is an awful band, with awful songs, with an awful voccalist... i really don`t understand why so many brazilian guys like them!

and it was good to see rock in rio in the most important page of nme site. Brazil is the world rock capital for some days...

I was way into Queen for quite a long time of my life, and although their music doesn't speak to me anymore I still get those shivers down the spine when I watch their performance in Rio from 86 or so..... I guess it takes a Freddy Mercury on cocaine to really rock half a million people.

NME said she was booed because of the American flags that were displayed, and the crowd chanted Bra-zil Bra-zil!

Maybe it was her lack of singing ability that was booed instead.

Queen: band with Freddie Mercury singing Bohemian Rhapsody

Queens of the Stone Age: very recent band of harder edge/indie guitar/ stuff I can't describe that well because I havent heard a lot of, but is making a lot of critics top albums of 2000 sort of dealie.

yes, Queen really did an astonishing show in Rock in Rio in 1986... it seems it was their bigger public ever.

it seems the crowd really didn`t enjoy her show that much - anyway, she is really cute

Wasn't their highest audience turn-out at Live Aid?

My cousin dragged me to one of their shows a few months ago. Though the singer was quite a looker, I just couldn't get into it; plus it was a week-night and I got sleepy, so I went downstairs into the "lounge" and had a bit of a nap.

I've NEVER "napped" at a concert before.

I love Queen! Freddie was a wonderful performer!

[Mimi]

> I love Queen! Freddie was a wonderful performer!

True - ok I'm chillin'.... It was him that made me want to be a singer in the first place. "Spread your wings" is still one of my favourite tunes ever.

hehe... i don`t know really!

i heard what i said somewhere... but you know i`m not into queen that much, you see?

i heard just one songs of them, "feel good hit of the summer" that i got in napster. I liked it but... am i too conservative or it`s a bad sign that the "best" song of 2000 has lyrics with just names of drugs? this is a sign of the end of this world?

Yeah, that was a fairly uninspired song, in my humblest of opinions.

no, love... it was not "just" her lack of singing ability. Those flags were REALLY offensive. ...and by the way, she didn't even sing... she just shaked her mouth. Once again, the american culture has such a power, that it is able to destroy everything in front... It's sad to say, but "the american way of life" is the main joke around this world. Am I offensive? Sorry, but those flags are too.

what`s happened with the critics? I like one that chosed "there`s a light that never goes out" to hear before the millenium had finished, and "feel good hit of the summer" to hear for first in the new millenium... How can someone compare these two songs without feeling this world is ending? It`s *too much* decadence for my taste.
