Okay, my favorite band came to Brazil for the first time aiming to make a mini-tour with 3 concerts: one in Curitiba, Sao Paulo and one in or in Rio de Janeiro. Rolls and more rolls open sale of tickets in Sao Paulo before the date stated by the the phone.
Results: Monday, official opening of the tickets and they exhausted in about hours.
Good news: New show added to the previous day, Wednesday 08/10 (the first show would be 09/10). With two nearly sold out show, the tickets of the opening Vivo Rio and Curitiba Master Hall (not necessarily know in what order), both exhausted in a matter of days.
What was true then: the band's participation in the program Faustão, Sunday 05/10 days before the show at the Masters Hall of Curitiba.
Arrival of children: 04/10, 5:15 am. Several fans had spent the night at the airport of Congonhas to wait for the boys personally. Already more than 7:30 in the morning and nothing of them, taking account of the disappointment their hearts when they are informed that the band followed by a landing corridor "exhaust" to prevent turmoil. Once in the van, hysterical and frenzied fans trying to climb up and enter the front of the vehicle. Poor reception in boys? Some lucky to have had contacts to use the corridor to escape and were fortunate to take some pictures with the boys.
Hilton Hotel, more hysteria. The reception at the same time it was warm, it was sore and embarrassing. Okay cry to see their idols, but do we need to both push-push? The issue was resolved, the staff who had been in the hotel was divided into groups of 10 people and the kids were a little "meet & Greet." Again, lucky managed photos with them.
Participation in the program live "Domingão of Faustão" and a playback that caught by surprise. Nothing against it, but at least if they had left the microphone on, was more "real." Leaving at the studios of Rede Globo in São Paulo and fly to Curitiba. Did the big show, hysteria, crying, and many stories to tell.
The kids were really surprised that we, fans, knew all the songs and help them sing. They were deaf to that!
Anyway, back to São Paulo, more fans, but this time more aggressive. The boys would participate in a program MTV Live Domain. Out of the van, several fans wanting to catch them and some even managed a tuft of hair from Daniel Jones and his open shirt. Now for all:
Anybody here think that it needed lower all? I do not. That was the greatest lack of respect and consideration that a fan could show to his idol. It was not good for the image of Brazil, was not good for anyone. Many fans asked nor excuses for what had done. And I say: Who did the asking APOLOGIES TO BURR! Why was not around who had nothing to do with it!
The band held back until early and I wonder: what worth it? Hurt our idols, literally, just with our image and show the wild. The band could very well have gone without at least doing the shows and then what would happen? Multirão you do a kill or beat the girl who did it with Danny? No. You know why? We have no courage to do this, I speak from experience! Everyone can run the back, scold, judge be expected ... but face to face with the person who did this, you can not!
They were, for many relief and happiness of all. Did the shows in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. I was in Sao Paulo, the knowledge of far and I was very happy to be able to see them so close and yet so far from me. But worth it. All the money spent, all the waiting. You see the result of their efforts when they expect something for a long time.
How many pro myspace messages I sent them? Numerous. How they answered me? None. But one thing I know: in one way or another, I helped bring them here. No matter that I have not received the minimum account through an answer, what is important is to have hope and believe that they have read and have a bit of me.
The only thing I have to say in conclusion what I said above is: Thanks for every person who cried, sang, sent message, the knowledge closely. I'm sure that only the good memories are with them at that time. Do not forget: a band is nothing without his fans!
Where they arrived, they to us, each of us, the prestige, purchase, encourages ... so, give them strength to continue growing and improving their work.
Ends with the strong words of the song "The Last Song":
"... It's time to say: 'We thank you all"
