Title: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: Pig Vomit on May 20, 2006, 08:22:43 PM I think if GNR teamed up with any of these bands that it would be a huge tour.

Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: HungerForChaos on May 20, 2006, 08:25:46 PM It would only work if they had an album out and sung the new songs... Imo.

Post by: Pig Vomit on May 20, 2006, 08:30:09 PM It would only work if they had an album out and sung the new songs... Imo. I agree. I was thinking they could release the album in the fall and do a world wide arena tour till spring when then they do a co headlining tour with another big name like a RHCP. I think RHCP and AXl are good friends anyway. Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: nesquick on May 20, 2006, 08:31:28 PM GNR/OASIS

Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: draguns on May 20, 2006, 08:51:06 PM A co-headlining tour would not work for GNR. They need to ?headline by themselves. I saw the Faith No More/Metallica/GNR tour at Giants Stadium in 92. ?There were just too many problems ?that occured. I remember Axl Ranting on how the set design took too long to change.

Post by: da_pope on May 20, 2006, 08:57:13 PM GNR/Pearl Jam?
Why not try to raise Kurt from dead and get Nirvana to co-headline? Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: Naupis on May 20, 2006, 09:07:44 PM a co-headliner tour would never work because Axl would have to open for a band like U2, and he would never go for that over the duration of a long tour. Besides, Guns needs to go out on tour by themselves and not have to worry about being overshadowed by a bigger more established act. Get someone relevant to open up for them and hit the road, don't miss dates, and impress people with your new music. That is the recipe for touring.

Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: Alan on May 20, 2006, 09:47:41 PM yeah i mean oasis are only the band holding the record for the fastest sellout of MSG. so they aren't popular at all........ also oasis are in the middle of a worldwide stadium tour, so people do care about them outside the UK. Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: Falcon on May 20, 2006, 09:49:35 PM I really don't think any co headlining set up is a good idea. ?
First off, I don't think any band of the stature talked about in this thread would put themselves in a position to tour with someone who has the sketchy touring past of Axl, not good business. More impotantly, I think it's time for Axl to have the lone spotlight. ? No need to share the bill with anyone outside of a festival appearance. Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: jameslofton29 on May 20, 2006, 09:54:07 PM I really don't think any co headlining set up is a good idea. ? Great points. I agree their is no need to share the bill, especially on an arena tour. But if a stadium tour was to ever occur, GNR will need someone else of equal status to ensure sellouts.First off, I don't think any band of the stature talked about in this thread would put themselves in a position to tour with someone who has the sketchy touring past of Axl, not good business.

Axl will definitely have to prove himself capable of handling a tour schedule with minimal problems before any major act would agree to join a tour. Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour?

Basically all their shows were sold out. Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: uzisuicide2002 on May 20, 2006, 10:22:36 PM GN'R and AUDIOSLAVE would kick ass
Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: Sparksry on May 20, 2006, 10:25:30 PM I think u answered ur own question... It would be a huge tour... after the UYI tour they probs dont wanna another absolutly gigantic tour... thats wat broke them up mostly

Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: Chief on May 20, 2006, 10:37:49 PM If they do this i think they should do maybe 15 shows maximum, not a super big tour.. would be much easier to manage.
and i'd vote for the Guns and AC/DC lineup!!! Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: unbearable on May 20, 2006, 10:43:02 PM monsters of rock 2?

But if a stadium tour was to ever occur, GNR will need someone else of equal status to ensure sellouts. Arenas aren't even an option yet, at least not in the US. ?Gotta get the reocrd out and see how things go before that'll be a workable situation. As for stadiums in the US, those days are long gone. ?That's hardly GNR specific, generally speaking there's just not the market for that type of event these days. Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: Naupis on May 20, 2006, 10:50:17 PM Quote and i'd vote for the Guns and AC/DC lineup!!! Axl would never open for anyone outside the Rolling Stones at this point, and there is not a chance AC/DC is going to open for New GNR. A Co-headline tour will never happen if for no other reason than Axl won't agree to open for anyone, and no truely established act that doesn't need GNR to sell seats will open for New GNR. Axl in 2006 doesn't carry the same type of weight to demand top billing of a headline tour that he did in 1991 when they went out with Metallica. Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour?

Both bands have large fanbases, and GNR actually touring behind CD, and U2 just touring period, could easily draw in the crowds./quote] Do you really think Axl would be content to open every night though? I don't think he has it in him, and U2 is such a tremendous draw that they open for no one, even on a shared bill. Bono is practically a God in the eyes of the world right now with all he has accomplished in and out of music. It's a great idea and all, I just don't see any way in which Axl could suck up his pride like that. Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour?

Post by: Naupis on May 21, 2006, 01:33:24 AM Quote Who said anything about an opening act? Call it what you will, but in any "co-headliner" type of show, whoever goes on first is considered the lesser act, even in situations where the bands claim to have equal billing. It is an ego thing, as the perception is that whoever goes on first is the lesser draw of the two. Every rockstar has an ego, and not one of them would prefer opening a show to closing one, regardless of whether they have equal billing or not. Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: ShotgunBlues1978 on May 21, 2006, 01:38:52 AM I'd rather have a GnR/Sebastian Bach's band or a reformed Skid Row, or GnR/Buckcherry, or GnR/Hanoi Rocks than a lot of those. But GnR/Chili Peppers or GnR/Tool would be amazing
Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour?

Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: Pig Vomit on May 21, 2006, 02:01:28 AM It can work, the bands can just switch nights were they go on last. I think GNR/RHCP would work since they like each and wouldn't try to one up each other.

Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: awolgnr on May 21, 2006, 05:43:31 PM I think it might be kind of challenging to find a band that can peacefully coexist with Axl and co. every night with both bands respecting each other. Some bands will piss Axl off and others might be intimidated by him. All that said, I can see Kid Rock doing okay, or maybe even Korn.

If I want to see any of the other bands I'll go to their shows.
Anyway, I heard an interview with the Chilli Peppers recently who said they went to a GNR gig back in the early days and walked out after 3 songs.... Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour? Post by: da_pope on May 21, 2006, 06:32:32 PM Ya... GN'R and the Chili Peppers don't have anything near the same style of music.
Title: Re: Why not another co headlining tour?

I'd rather see them open with different, smaller/lesser known bands (buckcherry types or new bands that are up and coming with some buzz) then a HUGE arena tour with another big name (u2, metallica etc...). Fill up places with 5-10k max capacity and just put on intimate, kick ass shows. keep it all about Guns.
