Last month, when I found out that some of my favorite artists had gathered for a tour and would play at a festival in the city of São Luís do Maranhão in northeast of Brazil and other Latin American capitals, I decided to see them in Buenos Aires , Argentina Argentina
In my decision I considered two factors: 1) Buenos Aires is closer to Rio de Janeiro than São Luís do Maranhão, and therefore, travel costs end up being smaller. 2) Their concert in São Luís would be at a festival, and possibly would be shorter.
Well, I never felt so happy with a decision in my life! Unfortunately, due to serious problems with the event organizers in Maranhão, the festival was canceled and if I had gone over there, beyond the considerable expenses of traveling, I would have lost one memorable show.
It was absolutely wonderful to see at the same stage: Gene Simmons, Joe Elliot, Sebastian Bach, Glenn Hughes, Duff McKagan, Billy Duff, Steve Stevens, Matt Sorum, Gilby Clark, Mike Inez and Ed Roland. It was great to hear some all time classics interpreted by some of my biggest idols, like Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta (Sebastian Bach), Deep Purple’s Highway Star and Burn (Glenn Hughes), Guns’n’Roses’ Welcome to the jungle (Sebastian Bach) and Kiss’ I love it loud (with Gene himself), among others.
Again, another great night thanks to Rock'n'Roll.

No mês passado, quando soube
que alguns dos meus artistas favoritos haviam se reunido para uma turnê e que
tocariam em um festival na cidade de São Luís do Maranhão, no Nordeste do
Brasil e em outras capitais da América Latina, decidi vê-los em Buenos Aires,
na Argentina. Essa seria uma boa oportunidade de visitar a Argentina, um país
do qual sempre gostei e de ver um bom show.
Na minha decisão, levei em
conta dois fatores: 1) Buenos Aires é mais perto do Rio de Janeiro do que São
Luís do Maranhão e, por conseguinte, os custos de viagem acabam sendo menores.
2) O show deles em São Luís seria em um festival e, talvez por isso, fosse mais
curto.
O fato é que nunca me senti
tão feliz com uma decisão na minha vida! Lamentavelmente, devido a problemas
sérios com a organização do evento no Maranhão, ele foi cancelado e se tivesse
ido pra lá, além dos gastos consideráveis de viagem, eu teria perdido um show
no mínimo memorável.
Foi absolutamente maravilhoso
ver no mesmo palco: Gene Simmons, Joe Elliot, Sebastian Bach, Glenn Hughes,
Duff McKagan, Billy Duff, Steve Stevens, Matt Sorum, Gilby Clark, Mike Inez e
Ed Roland. E foi sensacional ver alguns clássicos do Rock de todos os tempos
serem interpretados por alguns dos meus maiores ídolos, como Whole Lotta Love
do Led Zeppelin (Sebastian Bach), Highway Star e Burn do Deep Purple (Glenn
Hughes), Welcome to the jungle do Guns (Sebastian Bach) ou I love it loud do
Kiss (com o próprio Gene), dentre outras.
Mais uma vez, outra grande
noite graças ao Rock’n’Roll.
