\u00c9 assim que Noel Gallagher escrevia no seu blog durante a turn\u00ea sul-americana. Ok, a Am\u00e9rica do Sul \u00e9 outro planeta mesmo para europeus e norte-americanos, nenhuma novidade.<\/p>\n
Mas dia 12, segunda-feira, ele estava de muito mau humor e declarou o seguinte: “What a mad day! I just woke up at 11:45. A.M.! That in itself is mental. I haven’t slept that long since 1998 – Paris, I think it was. It’s FUCKIN’ PISSING DOWN WITH RAIN and it’s pitch black – maybe not black, but very, very grey. Curitiba was great. The gig was anyway. Dunno what we’re trying to prove by playing places like that, and here in Porto Alegre for that matter. Why not just do 2 big, fuck off gigs in Rio and Sao Paolo?? If everyone in Argentina is willing to travel to Buenos Aires to be part of one of the greatest nights of all time (I’m not kidding, you should’ve been there!) Then I don’t see what the difference is in Brazil. It’s the kids who lose out, if you ask me. Someone throwing up a make-shift stage in some car park can never compare with the noise and colour of a stadium. Still, the gigs themselves are great. Could be better though. Anyway, ‘nuff of that. What’s happening with you? As I said, am currently in Porto Alegre. Waiting to soundcheck. In the rain. Looking forward to going home tomorrow”.<\/p>\n
Estava puto de ter que fazer shows em Curitiba e Porto Alegre, achando que S\u00e3o Paulo e Rio bastavam. A compara\u00e7\u00e3o com Buenos Aires foi infeliz, basta ver o tamanho de cada pa\u00eds. Mas o problema \u00e9 s\u00e9rio. Tirando o eix\u00e3o, onde os shows s\u00e3o realmente, em boa parte das vezes, bem organizados,\u00a0os produtores precisam tomar cuidado para n\u00e3o fazer espet\u00e1culos em qualquer “estacionamento”, como bem disse Noel. Ruim para o p\u00fablico, ruim para bandas deste tamanho.<\/p>\n
Por isso, talvez, o resmung\u00e3o quisesse tanto ir embora. N\u00e3o pela chuva, nem pelo cansa\u00e7o. Ele estava mesmo \u00e9 muito longe de casa.<\/p>\n

S\u00f3 que no dia seguinte, na ter\u00e7a-feira, ap\u00f3s o show em Porto Alegre, o discurso mudou.<\/p>\n
“Ahem. I take back all I said yesterday. About bring the mountain to Mohammed (are we still allowed to say that? I recall an incident with a teddy bear recently), so to speak. Last night’s gig was incredible. I say gig, I’m not sure I heard any of it, but the night was amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Even The Shroud had a banner in the crowd. It was a cardboard cut-out of his hairy little head. Underneath was the legend, “JESUS”. Simple. Beautiful. (…)\u00a0All packed and ready to leave. I speak directly to you people of South America. You have been truly amazing. It’s been a privilege to play for you. The memories of this little tour will live with me for a long time. Mucho gracias and obrigado. Hasta luego”.<\/p>\n
Nada como um bom show e o artista se empolga.<\/p>\n
Obrigado.<\/p>\n
E at\u00e9 logo, mas acredito que infelizmente n\u00e3o para quem \u00e9 de fora de S\u00e3o Paulo e Rio.<\/p>\n
