Sat 29 May – Aerosmith - Cocked, Locked, Ready To Rock Tour

Originalmente publicado em http://stayschizo.wordpress.com/2010/06/03/aerosilva-em-sao-paulo-2010/

Abril de 2007. Eu, um pequeno jovem intusiasta do hard rock, saí de Curitiba para São Paulo e adentrei o estádio do Morumbi para aquele que seria meu primeiro show. E começaria em grande estilo: nada menos que o Aerosmith, a banda setentista que não darei o trabalho de aqui apresentar. E de “bônus”, abertura simplesmente com o Velvet Revolver, uma das melhores bandas da década passada, que estava prestes a lançar seu segundo álbum Libertad e tocou algumas de suas novas músicas.

Show lindo, com músicas que eu adoraria ouvir e que não haviam tocado nas últimas turnês (Falling In Love (Is Hard on The Knees), Janie’s Got A Gun). Ficou a confirmação que o Aerosmith era uma das melhores bandas do rock and roll e tive a felicidade de vê-los enquanto existem.

Passam-se três anos…

Mar 25 May – Cocked, Locked, Ready to Rock!

Las circunstancias para éste fueron más especiales que nunca. Teníamos la plata desde la primera preventa, perdimos el descuento del 20% por una amiga-contacto en Ticketmaster que nos falló hasta última hora, y no pudimos sino una semana antes concretar la compra de las 4 entradas, después de un fallido intento en Plaza Vespucio -culpa de Entel PCS y mi vieja, que justo ese día no pagó la cuenta- y al día siguiente en Cine Hoyts de la Reina, con la ayuda de una amiga pero caída de sistema de Ticketmaster incluido. No nos íbamos a dejar vencer por las circunstancias. El martes 25 íbamos a tener que estar en la U hasta tarde, pero aún así teníamos que llegar. Una ejecutiva de Entel me contactó poco antes para decirme que además por las molestias y un reclamo me regalaba una entrada doble, pero que debía retirarla el mismo martes a las 5. Se nos hizo imposible. Las perdimos, mal que mal ya teníamos nuestros tickets.

Jeu 20 mai – Aerosmith

El jueves 20 de mayo era la fecha asignada para Aerosmith en Colombia. Así que me dispuse a llegar a la zona del concierto con la máxima antelación que podía, un par de horas antes. La logística de entrada estuvo muy mala, y aparte de eso pensé que la entrada para mi localidad era por otro lugar, lo que hizo que tardara y me tocara caminar mucho más de lo presupuestado, se cerraron vías muy distantes al concierto, lo que llevó a que tardara más de media hora en llegar tan sólo a la entrada que me correspondía. De ahí en adelante todo fue ágil a pesar de los tres cordones de seguridad. Debido a la impuntualidad de las personas de esta ciudad, no había mucha gente aún, cuando ya estaba adentro. Así que busqué una buena perspectiva y a esperar.

Los teloneros salieron temprano, tipo 18:50 se llaman Las pirañas amazónicas, no los conocía nadie y ni siquiera están por aquí para poner el vínculo. No tocaban tan mal a mí parecer…

Wed 10 Jun – Aerosmith

It will apparently take more than a heavy downpour with lightning to derail the first stop on Aerosmith's world tour Wednesday night at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.

But the storm sure did slow things down.

After 3 Doors Down's opening set and the arrival increasingly ominous storm clouds, a disclaimer during intermission stated that fans could wait in their cars until the storm passed, then re-enter the show.

The concert resumed roughly an hour after its scheduled time and felt noticeably abbreviated once it finally did unfold.

But Boston's bad boys definitely delivered during the high-energy 90-minute show that had Verizon filled to near capacity, at least before the storm hit.

On a large bi-level set with many movable parts that at times resembled something out of "Transformers," singer Steven Tyler, guitarist Joe Perry, bassist Tom Hamilton, keyboardist Russ Irwin, and fill-in Bobby Schneck (a local resident), taking the place of ailing guitarist Brad Whitford…

I'm bored and can't sleep so I figured I may as well kill some time by doing this.

The next time you stand up in front of a group of people, you'll say: WALK THIS WAY
Comment: Hmmm, interesting! I'm sure I'd get a few strange looks and then maybe people would start singing along.

Your favorite thing to say when drunk is: Take On Me
Comment: When I'm really drunk I doubt I actually say much of anything other than that I'm not! ;)

Your message to the world: Proud
Comment: Wow.. this is perfect. On a whole other note this will make me think of Queer As Folk for all time, a show I'll always love for it's bravery, impact and overall message.

Your deepest secret: Erase/Rewind
Comment: Ha! Truth be told I really don't have any deep secrets but if I did it wouldn't be possible nor would I want that.

Your innermost desire: Black Suits Comin' (Nod Ya Head)
Comment: Uhh, no, I don't think so. Aliens aren't my thing :P

Somewhere in your wedding vows, you'll include:Relight My Fire
