Here Today... Gone To Hell!

What's the chances of this happening..? Not something I want but hey you never know..  Who is axl friendly with that he went to the tour launch party? he doesn't seem like the typre to just go out to these types of events otherwise tons of pics would be around

I wouldn't mind Korn they got some headbanger stuff written...good charlotte, that's another story...

Not Korn, please not Korn. I don't want to be surrounded by metal-heads at a GN'R show because Axl chooses a nu-metal or a heavy-metal band to open. I want a Rock show, not a heavy metal one.
I wouldn't mind if it was Good Charlotte. But a ROCK band like Jet or The Darkness, or the White Stripes, or The Strokes, The Killers or Oasis (the ultimate dream) would be perfect.

Korn is not heavy metal, it's even no metal at all.

I agree. It seems like he's up to something. As you and I have both stated before, you just dont go from being in a cave to a surge of activity overnight, or for no reason. I'm not saying it means we're getting CD either, although its possible.. Maybe Korn was doing something in the studio, and Axl was involved. Or he's going to join them on stage in the near future. Several different possibilities. Something's in the air, but we just dont know what it is yet. As far as one of these bands opening for GNR, it really doesnt matter to me. But if Axl wants new fans and a younger crowd, he's gonna have to let some newer band open for him. Regardless of whether we like it or not. : ok:

I still stand by my instincts and think if any new band was goin to open for GNR it would be Avenged Sevenfold. I been reading tons of articles and all they do is always praise Axl and GNR. Even in one of those new picks M Shadows the lead singer is right next to him , along with guys from Good Charlotte.

To me a band like Korn opening for new gnr is stupid simply because they can sell out the shows without gnr then you have to hang with dicks who like korn as well.. I rather him use a good rock band that is lesser known so the arena is filled with mostly gnr fans,..

I hope this is a step in the right direction.. WHy he went could have just been for a night out, interest in the band a favor or just getting his feet wet again in public..

There were more bands at that thing than Good charlotte and korn, He may want puddle of mud to open. Who fukin knows? All i know is that they are the two band that photos were taken of him with. Im sure he talked to more ppl than just the two bands.

Papa Roach was also at the party and Axl seems to like those guys, since in RIR3 he asked to put this band to play in the same night (it would be Blink 182, I guess, but Axl said he would only play if Papa Roach was there instead).

I dunno if this band would open for Gn'R, but I think its not far from the CKY kind of sound... Or am I wrong? I don't remember too well...

Axl likes Weezer too, but I don't really think it would be a nice move. I love Weezer, but it's not the same audience at all.

Amen to that! : ok:

Good Charlotte make terrible pop music.

Avenged 7Fold would make a great opening act.

Highly under-rated, and a tour with Axl and his gang should give them the exposure they deserve.

Add to that the fact they wear GN'R shirts in photoshoots and hail Guns as big influences on them, it could be a match made in heaven. :peace:

Oasis and GNR? Never a chance in hell. Oasis would bore the GNR crowd silly, and they wouldn't even agree to not headlining.

agree with you....Audioslave would be perfect to open for GNR : ok:

Good Charlotte makes Bubble Gum music.  No Chance in hell.

If the another story happened, I'd go late as usual. :hihi:


I'd say "outside" to "fat". IMO he'd prefer fresh bands to do that.

yes Audioslave is a good band. Chris Cornell is an awesome singer. I like a lot their last single.

CKY again plus another band starting to gain popularity in America in Kasabian would be my dream bill.

In that case, I can't be late.  :drool:

Well, they did the Brotherly Love tour with the Black Crowes in the US, and they didn't mind opening.

I don't think either will open for GN'R. He just decided to go for a party, that's all.  :peace:

Maybe Axl was invited to a party and went...
It can be as simple as that.

He's probably not obsessed with putting every action he does into some kind of theory about Chinese Democracy. He's just a guy too you know...

  Personally, I wouldn't care if Ashlee Simpson was to open for GNR.  Korn and GC aren't MY style...but they'd have to be more entertaining than Mix-Master Mike and the other band from the '02 tour.  Who knows.  I'm just crossing my fingers for the Davinci Code sounstrack!   8) 

I thought Oasis did open for GNR at Rock in Rio III, at least they went on before them so technically they opened for them. That's why Axl mentions them in one of his rants to the crowd at that show. The "Dream" already happened, did it not?

Besides Oasis were past their best by the 3rd album (and admittedly so), and the new stuff pretty much sucks, however they are a good sing-along band.

Oh, I'd fucking love to see Avenged Sevenfold open for Gn'R. Korn and GC--please, God, no.

I'd much rather see Korn at a GN'R show then a bunch of Emo punk wankers. But if GN'R did a show anytime soon near me I would not complain about a thing.


 :peace:

Korn would be so cool.  It would fill arenas again.   Fuck Good Charlotte.  They suck.  Also,  Axl I'm sure is a Korn fan.  I'm sure this has nothing to do with anything other than him being into Korn and their new cd which kicks ass.

oh rubbish, he ain't just a guy! ;D

[/color]

yes I know I only said it because those bands or their members were in the pics with axl so maybe some talking about the future happened

I think GNR / WEEZER and GNR / KORN would both make great arena tours.

Good Charlotte on the other hand, no.

And no one's ever heard of Avenged Sevenfold. They would need to be the 3rd band on the bill.

What if bo bice opens for Gn'R 

 :rofl:


You said everything I'd want to say...

As empty as the last tour was though, maybe he is gonna need a Co Headliner to pack the arenas.

Korn are a great fucking band.

people are haters and dont want to stop living in the 80's or early 90's and need to break into this century.

Korn's new album is one of the best Ive heard in a very very long time.

This coming from someone who didnt really like Korn before.

I owned one previous album by them, i bought this album and it is one of the best albums in my collection. It is truly Great.


GNR with Korn opening would be impressive!

mmm That would be weird... those 3 bands have nothing to do together. Unless you would like Axl singing Lifestyle of the Rich and the famous or Korn failing to play a solo...

My pick goes to weezer

What about bryan adams?

Hmm, they had a # 1 vid on TRL, are gonna be performing live next week on the show, debuting thier new vid, thier album has jumped over 50 spots on Billboard, I think people are starting to know Avenged Sevenfold, but thats neither nere nor therer. Its only pure speculation

I think Avenged Sevenfold has been the obvious choice for a few months. I personally think that the Distillers, the Donnas, and CKY (again) would also be good choices at some point.

You do realise that mostly 12-15 year olds watch trl right? Not exactly the GNR type of  audience...

AND you also realise that GNR were TRl darlings in thier prime, so I dont see the point , but I havent watched MTV myself for bout 2 yrs, my only point is jsut as when GNR started geting big back in the day, they TOured with Aerosmith, who most people back then who were say my age now, thought exactly the same way about GNR , with them.

PErsonally I really dotn care who they tour with , if its some one I like great if not , I can pass and just like last tour watch the show once GNR hit the stage. GNR did alot of good for Aerosmith. Adn my hope is next tour whatever band gets that slot they can compliment each other and help propel both.

AS for MTV, I dont watch it, but I read about things.

Peace

Anyone could have been at that party and been photographed with Axl.

It doesn't mean he likes them or wants to do a show with them.

He probably likes KoRn or he wouldn't have been there but KoRn are pretty good, especially their first album.

Sorry,but musically Good Charollete or whatever should never share a stage with Axl...Even if they are just openers...But hey,we had to sit through Mix Master Mike a few years ago,so who knows.
Korn isn't all that bad actually.

Good Charlotte no, but Korn I can handle.

Just because Axl socialised with them, there is no suggestion they may tour with them. Hopefully seeing them at their tour launch may motivate Axl to get out on the road with the album again.

I don't care who opens for Guns N' Roses quite frankly. I'm just there for GN'R.

I'd hate to see Good Charlotte open for GNR.? Although it might be fun to watch hysterical fans throw quarters at them, and scream we want axl.? I think Korn would be a decent opening act that more GNR fans could live with than Good Charlotte, but nothing to get excited about.? Personally I would rather see a band like Modest Mouse or The Arcade Fire open.? I saw both play this summer, and thought that The Arcade Fire put on one of the best shows I had ever seen.?

Korn is too "metal" for GN'R. It's not the same kind of audience.
I think RATM would be better for GN'R.
and what about The Offspring? (I'm serious). I've always likes that band. A friend of mine told me they sound great Live. Plus, Dexter Holland is a GN'R fan. The Manic Streets Preachers would be great too, or Travis, or Audioslave. There are plenty of good Rock band around to open for GN'R.

I know a great band to open for GNR, but they would never do it: Slayer!! : ok:

RATM and Offspring would be awesome. As would Korn, I wouldnt mind seeing those cats live.

Why has everyone forgotten about Avenged Sevenfold? Out of all three bands they're the ones I think would fit best with GN'R and I'd love to see them both tour together

Weezer supported GnR already in 2002 (london show).  they do have their own crowd - but you can bet that every person was there for GnR.  Weezer were ok though.

I think Korn are too big to open for anyone.  Same goes for the white stripes and oasis comments (aside from the fact that oasis are sh*t and nowhere the same league)  And I really hope the Bryan Adams comment was a joke.

Nine Inch Nails might be up for it. 

Who supported GnR in USA on the other 2002 dates?

Mix Master Mike and CKY.



/jarmo

Exactly. A7X have the chops, the stage presence (they put on a killer live show), and every single member of that band, particularly their lead singer, worships Gn'R. This would be a tour I would love to see. Of course, like other people have said, it doesn't really matter who opens--I'm there.

Adler's appetite should appear on stage first, followed by Velvet Revolver, followed by the new Gn'R  ;D

LMFAO , I find it funny that Axl gets photographed with a couple bands at a party and all of a sdden everyone speculates they might open for guns n roses.

1st off , wheres this big tour gunna kick off too?! I didnt even hear about this new gnr tour , I must be under a rock. Damn it. Has MSG sold out yet?

Secondly , besides korn and good charlotte and Avenged Sevenfold how about some of the other people we've seen axl with? Will they be openers too? those two girls who were sqeezing him in that one pic , maybe they can get up and dance .. or how about the shots of axl with the lambo , maybe someone could put the car onstage and get in and rev it up for an half n hour?

Sillyness I tell you.

Hey , Axl was wearing a maple leafs jersey .. maybe tie domi will get onstage and sing some love songs too.

I can see why axl doesnt go out much if these are the kinda reactions he gets each time he steps outside the comfort of his fort , or area 51 or wherever he's hiding the master tapes.

OMG he has braids and he's wearing a jersey and talking to members of Korn at KORNS launch party!! You let me down Axl.  ::)

[/end sarcasm rant]

everybody?

yeah , bad choice of words ..

some.  :peace:

let me tell you I could give a fuck really who opens for axl's group.. I just know how he can be in the moment or get off on some trend as influence wether it be nu metal or emo so that's why I thought hell anything is possible.. If he could use mixmaster and cky then anything is possible..  I seriously doubt there is any type of tour coming up, it was just  atopic..

when are you people gonna realize that he was at a party hanging out. He happened to take pics with a few bands. Nothing more nothing less. Do you actually think...better yet...does it actually look like Axl went to that party hoping to take a pic with GC? I can see Axl having a convo with the Korn guy and posing with him but GC cmon. It looks liek they asked for a pic.

You people are really out there.

and Mike what is wrong with the idea of Axl ,aybe being influenced by todays music...{I highly doubt GC}....Were you saying the same thing with old gnr and all their influences? Axl im sure has a shitload of musical influences. It doesnt mean he wants to be them. Without influences Axl wouldnt be Axl. If something Korn does inspires Axl and he takes that and incorporates that into what hes doing and it turns out great who cares. As long as Axl is not singing about dubs and bling and whining about nothing then its all gravy

I seriously doubt Axl went to the party to scope out potential opening acts. He was probably invited by somebody who is a mutual friend of the Korn camp and his own and took up the invite. Or, if we want to delve into conspiracy land (and why not?) perhaps his publicity people told him it would be a good thing to go to in order to reintroduce himself to the music-types. That he allowed press photos to be taken is intriguing to me, especially (as noted in the other thread) it has been near impossible to get a press snapshot of the guy in years. But right now, all this whole thing does is confirm that he's alive and well, and decided to grow a goatee.

I think Avenged Sevenfold or whatever they are called are very mediocre.

My brother let me hear some songs and I thoght they were pretty stock to be honest.

I'll stand up right now and say that axl should call Todd Kerns to open up... I'm sure no one knows who he is because he's indie canadian.... But he would rock the balls off your neighbors dog.... high energy.... would be awesome.

check it out axl

what about Michelle Branch to open? She was to the party and is a GN'R fan.

Great choice, Nes! :beer: I guess she would be a little more logical than Slayer! :hihi:

Dude, your seriously missing out on a phenomenal band. Easily the best the last 3-4 years in my opinion. Their latest album, City of Evil is brilliant, they combined the mellowness of the 1st record with the agressivness of the 2nd and it's bloody great.

Check out:

Warmness on the Soul
Seize the Day
Betrayed
Unholy Confessions
& of course Bat Country (if this song doesnt get you pumped, nothing will)

you know ya wanna  ;)


 :rofl: Good one man.

Id be afraid of the Korn fans seeing Robin with GnR and being like "wtf? why is Korn's guitar tech filling in for Slash?" :hihi:

Id wanna see neither band open for GnR to be honest. Hopefully Axl has a great unknown act up his sleeve, or Death Cab for Cutie, or Avenged Sevefold's management on his speed dial :D

I dont care who opens. I wonder if theyll come to Australia??? I hope they play eastern creek raceway again!!! : ok:

i would rather have system or shinedown open up for them.

I wouldn't mind Ax7 as an opening act. They may not be great.. but thats why they would be openers. Better than MMMike... =/

I don't care who opens up for them....
Will it really impact whether you want to go to the show, or feel you're getting your $$$ worth?

As long as Axl and the band go on a world tour for all of us to enjoy, who cares who opens up for them?

I would like new Guns N Roses, to open for  Rolling Stones or some big bands.

*reading page 3 of this topic and can't be assed to go on*

Why is everyone suggesting really crappy bandz to open for Gn'R!!?

Avenged Sevenfold? PAH! They suck ass, and are pretentious as hell!! Everything about them is FAKE!

I think that Black Label Society should open for Gn'R. As far as I know, Axl and Zakk are friendz, so it'd be kewl, and a good match!

Maybe because they like those bands...

Again AXL to open a Rolling Stones concert!!!
