According to Brazilian newspaper Folha, some formation of Guns n' Roses will perform live in the South American country later this year. To quote the paper, "As bandas Red Hot Chili Peppers e Guns N' Roses vireo para o Brasil neste ano." We're assuming that means Anthony Keidis and Co. will play Brazil too. Exact dates and locations for the supposed Gn'R shows have not been announced. The Folha report comes more than four months after they printed a story in which one concert promoter said there were "good chances" Axl Rose would play there in the third quarter of '08. The Brazilian tour plans are just the latest round of rumors surrounding Gn'R. The past month has seen Chinese Democracy supposedly being completed and handed off to the record companies, Rose on the verge of starring in a reality TV show, Gn'R signing with a top management team and Rose thanking Dr. Pepper for their support.

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
