Obviously, things didn't work out as expected. Why?
When did things started to go off the rails?
The TV doesn't show everything. They can't, they wouldn't show two cameras at the same time.
After reading a lot of the comments on GNR-Brasil today, it was possible to get to know facts that only people on the crowd noticed.
Which is very interesting.

First of all, the concert didn't start well.
Rock in Rio can't have concerts past 5AM, that's a prefecture order.
System Of A Down set was way longer than expected, and yes, the rain DID make things slower on the stage set up.
I saw Fernando running around with his umbrella. He even looked to me when I called him once, but didn't come talk to me.
Del James was also there running around like crazy. But no one had more problems than the LCD guy, the one who puts the LCD with the lyrics.
That guy probably went check each LCD about 5 times, covering it with plastic, setting up the wires, and everything.
And also a guy with a hat, I think it's the Tour Manager. Poor him, he ran a marathon.
Seriously, all the time Guns N' Roses was not on the stage yet there was someone there setting something up.
Cleaning ladies everywhere taking out water, and everything.
Many people left because of the rain. The rain was so heavy that a part of the City of Rock even collapsed.

I have a friend who works on the Rock in Rio crew, he said that because of the rain it was much harder to set the stage to Guns N' Roses.
Fucking rain...
I was all wet, and it was very cold. So I was wet, cold, thirsty, hungry, and tired. But I gave 100% the whole concert.
Then... Guns N' Roses time.
The General was the intro, I didn't know if they were gonna play it or not, but it was still an awesome intro.
And then Chinese Democracy intro.
So yeah, concert would have to be way shorter than expected.

Well, as we all saw, Axl started the concert on a very good mood.
Making jokes, noises and faces. Interacting with the crowd as always. He couldn't run around like other concerts, and in the end of the show he kept kicking the water and jumping on puddles, like if to discharge adrenaline.
The band didn't know what to play. Apart from pre-set song orders, like the first fours and the solos, they didn't know what to play and when to play.
I think we can all agree that the point where everything started to ruin for Rio, in terms of concert lenght and Axl mood was November Rain.
Many mistakes, and Axl got pissed with himself.

Well, I don't know when something happened, nor what happened, but something did happen apart from this. I saw Axl talking to Beta during one of the solos, he was like of explaining something, and was also angry and disapointed. He shrugged a few times while talking to Beta, like "I don't believe it" or "What can I do?"

And then Patience. The way the band started it made it hard for Axl to get in with the whistle. And then, more mistakes, and it was the end.
But, was it?

When Richard Fortus started the Paradise City intro (with mistakes), Axl threw his arms on the air and made an angry and disapointed face. Like if he was thinking "Are you kidding me? Going to end this now?!"

During many moments Axl could have kicked the bucket, thrown everything in the air and just leave. You could see he had an urge to fucking leave the piano on the November Rain outro. But he didn't.
There were some audio problems, but he was patient. Until he finally lost his patience and said "Yeah, I have no patience." Sounded ironic.

But what happened? Was Axl pissed because he had to start later then expected, and then make the setlist shorter? I was shocked when I found out about Axl being disapointed when Paradise City started.
Was Axl pissed because of his mistakes and the band's mistakes? Was he pissed because of Rock in Rio inability to make the stage dry?
I think it's a mix of all that, and a few more things that we don't know, and probably even won't.

An interesting fact though, is that Rock in Rio can't past 5AM, that's a Rio prefecture order. Maybe Medina (promoter) asked Axl to end the show? Notice how when November Rain starts, they just played songs that HAVE to be on a Guns N' Roses concert, classic hits. Notice how Axl made Knocking On Heaven's Door very long... His good humor was back during this song and he was enjoying being there again.

But then Patience, and Paradise City, with the interesting Axl reaction... "Are we really going to end?!"
Just after the Guns N' Roses concert finished, sun was in the sky. It past a little bit of 5 AM. Sure the rain and the System Of A Down longer set added minutes, maybe an hour for Guns N' Roses to come onstage.

The thing is, there was new stuff on the soundcheck yesterday, and if you didn't notice, The General intro was different, just before they cut it.
And we've all seen the setlist. There are new songs.

So although for me and many others it was the best start for the tour, and it may have been not the perfect start in other aspects, there's a long tour ahead. There are some awesome concerts this month, like on Buenos Aires, for more than 60,000 people, and Asunscion for more than 80,000. All GNR only. And I read something about Asunscion PRO-SHOT.

So yeah, it was not perfect, but whose fault is it? Should we blame it all in Axl? I'm not deffending him, I believe it's unacceptable that he is unable to sing his own song and that he gets pissed with it. But why was he disapointed with the concert ending? I mean, not even the weather help.

Just a few images to sum up...
