Here Today... Gone To Hell!

It looks like Avenged Sevenfold will be playing Hammerstein on the 19th and 20th of May themselves.. maybe they'll be there a few days early to open?

Was this info. on their website?

hopefully no one opens

Have u been to many gigs where there has been no opener before?

I've actually wished the same thing on many gigs where I have to stand through crap before seeing what I really wanted to see!

Well, the doors open at 7:30 and the show starts at 9.  Personally, I have a great deal of difficulty fathoming Axl beginning a performance at 9 PM.  I'm betting there's an opening act.

True that! I guess show starts at 9 means show starts at 11 or 12 in GN'R terms!  :)

We get up around seven
Get at stage around nine ....


Late Late ... is the word !

it isnt as rare as you'd think. and for a b[r]and the size of guns playing a venue of this size i wouldnt be surprising if there was no opening act. there is really no call for them (there isnt really a call for bullet for my valentine any way, but thats not the point) at a venue like this. and considering its solely a limbering up for guns it kinda increases the chances there wont be a support.
but we are all too well aware of axls time keeping skills soits perhaps better to be safe than sorry for management to have a support band lined up to take some of the sting out of any possible delay.

I remember that Vegas HOB doors opened at midnight, I think GNR came on around 3:40 AM.  No opener, but there was some kick ass house music playing  : ok:

I dont think we need an opening act!! people will be to damn anxious!

Was there an opening band for the Las Vegas gigs?

Not from what the above poster said. Long long time to wait with no opener but hey worth the wait!!

I'd go expecting to hang around until some time in the morning anyway. That and seeing someone kicked out mid-song is part of the package I expect to happen  :D

yea, when you go see gnr, you expect a weight.

it'd almost be disappointing if axl showed up on time.

yea i dont want anyone to opem. I just want axl and Guns to jump out and start wttj or a new song we have not heard yet. Fuck openers i want a longer show with more songs!

I would be shocked if their was an opening act. I would be terrified if i had to open up for gnr at a show like this.

^^^dont think you will have to worry aboot that dude

well...cky anyone?!

honestly I would expect the band to go on sometime between 9-10. Usually Axl starts early in NYC because he knows its an important show and wants to read those reviews when he gets out of the clubs at 5 in the morning before he hits the sack....

fuck an opening act, it such a small show it'll be all die hards ,no one is going to even care about who is onstage before.. I know I'll be drinking beer and bullshitting about gnr and talking to new friends to worry about what band is opening up..

I hope he doesnt get bad reviews and decide to cancel the Weds Show.

Yer, it is:-

I don't think there'll be an opener. well maybe Tommy or Dizzy?


Yep. most of the gigs I've been to had no opener. Or maybe I went late.

it's because you go late you party animal.. We know you get hammered in the parking lot then stumble in and see the show you payed for :-*

NO!!! There should not be an opening act just guns coming out and fucking play their asses off until 5the next mornig!!!!!!

What? no that's not true. not in the parking lot. no. :peace:

AX7 is playing on the 19th and 20th, so yep, they're OUT.

the line is "the show usually starts around 7, we get on stage around 9"

carry on

If it's A7X, it'll be the best concert in the history of the world (both bands would be amazing in an intimate venue like that)...

I think they play somewhere else on the 15th and 17th.

 : ok:

I have a feeling there will be no opener, just like in Vegas.

Hmm. They have shows on the 14th, 16th, and 18th, all on the east coast. No 15th or 17th...

Fuck opening acts! although we will need some thing to ocupy the time between wehn the show starts and Axl comes on stage

I would think there would be no opener....wouldn't they have mentioned that with the announcement of the two shows?  who knows.......time will tell.
