Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Yeah....I like Hoobastanks one song, lol, Ive never heard of Phantom Planet

didn't hoobastank open for vr?

for what shows?

i saw hoobastank open for VR :o

Yep, I liked them, but was hoping for something else.

They are opening in Vegas?

I don't think so because their website says they will be elsewhere-

http://www.hoobastank.com/v7/s/tour.asp?id=25698&m=l&ru=y&lbuid=145,&lbu=&lbp=&lbt=f7d3d9009da2bb92cb8678d0a945fc47

OK, yes in Vegas, let me update this....On the 16th, Phantom Planet is opening, and on the 17th, Hoobastank is opening.....They told me before that 2 bands wre opening each show, so I don't know whats goin on.

Hoobastank is in Kansas City on Sept 16

Well, i'm just going by what the hard Rock is telling me, so we can argue about this in 3 days

http://www.phantomplanet.com/

Phantom Planet seems to be available though although I have never heard of them

Remember what I said though.....Hoobastank os only supposed to open on the 17th....so they are open also, i don't think the Hard Rock would lie, I'm not tryin to argue, I'm just sayin what the Hard Rock is sayin

So who is the other opener on the 16th?

Ahhh, not that I really care I don't usually get there in time for openers, I will be across the street getting my drink on :beer:

Oh and I am not arguing with you, in fact ty for the info :peace:

They said on the 16th Phantom Planet is opening? (yeah...I'll be gettin my drink in with you...lol, I haven't heard of them either..more drinkin time!!)?


And on the 17th Hoobastank is opening

They told me a week ago there were gonna be two opeing bands, I figured 2 for each show, but I guess not.

BTW, heres some music by them? ?http://www.myspace.com/phantomplanet? ?


OK, updated again....yes, one opening band for each Vegas show....Gn'R are scheduled to go on at 10.......so they'll be on at 11 - 12 ?

Oh thanks, I actually have heard Phantom Planet by the songs on MySpace, but I still will probably drink through it, haha

Phantom Planet had that huge hit "California" that was featured on The OC television show.  Actually, that song aside, they are a great band (I have both of their albums) and think its a pretty good choice.

for some reason I figured Bach would still be around as well though

I think he is touring Japan and Austrailia

Ahhh, got ya,  well that sucks, I was looking forward to seeing him too

The drummer for Phantom Planet was the star of the movie Rushmore

I've seen both bands live, together actually. Phantom Planet is pretty boring. Hoobastank is at least slightly entertaining.

If these are the opening bands at Arco, me and Axl will have something in common that night: We'll both be showing up  late.

Oh well. We shouldnt have expected anything more. Most bands suck nowadays, and the good bands are doing their own tours.

I don't think he is in the band anymore but the singer was the bully in Donnie Darko.

It would be awesome if GNR had different opening acts at random concerts.  Kind of like what the Rolling Stones did on their last tour.  Sure some groups would open up several times but never for the whole tour.  Hoobastank and Phantom Planet are cool for a couple of shows but then change it up.  There are shitloads of bands that need to get the exposure that opening up for the almighty GNR would bring them.  Depending on the location Axl needs to look at the bands that are very popular there and put them onstage.  I'm from Arkansas and when I went to the Stones show earlier this year, their opener was Merle Haggard.  I actually watched some idiots leave after he left.  I payed $75+ for my seating (way up in the stands), and even though the tickets were expensive some people payed the high price just to see the opener for the Stones.  Personally I'd love to see Buckcherry open for GNR, but since that looks to be an impossibility I'd be happy if they used any and every group possible to help boost their ticket sales (not that I think they need help) in hopes of making this US tour as monumental as it should be, considering it will be their first complete US tour in over a decade (hopefully), and it will help sell CD, bringing in all sorts of new fans.  But I could care less if William Hung opens for you Axl, I'm just happy you're back!!!  It's a great time to be a Guns n' Roses fan!

Phantom Planet ??..Hoobastank...i see GNR is joining the " OC - Generation "..Damn....I thank god they didn?t open when i saw e?m this summer

It's good.

I prefer that over A7X and BFMV because they were too "metal" for GN'R and they didn't fit with GN'R. They were way too extreme and hardcore.
I don't know Phantom Planet but Hoobastank are quite good, they even did a cover of "Civil War" and they like GN'R very much 8)

....I'm not a perfect person.... ha ha ha- gay song that symbolizes everything that is wrong with this era in Rock. Hoobastank sucks.

As said before hoobastank can be no worse then the shit known as bullet for my valentine.  I have never heard a thing from Phantom Planet, I guess I'll try to listen to them when I am working today  : ok:

Sure did! As a matter of fact, the first single of their newest album was written about Scott Weiland and how much Hoobastanks lead singer hated him.

any inspiration is good inspiration for a song :beer:

Phantom Planet is the band that plays the opening song for The OC (the one that goes "Californiaaa here we comeee") LOL

i'd rather have Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet For My Valentine as opening acts, they are much better then PP and Hookerstink, at least i have not heard much good music from them but BFMV and a7x are good, i didnt thjink that they would be good but then i thought they can't be so big whitout good music so i downloaded som songs and they were good, maybe it will be the same with these new openers but i don't think so

anyone remember hoobastank doing a cover of 'civil war'? maybe they'll play it at these shows instead of guns n' roses. but then again, maybe axl won't allow them to do it.

Beggers cant be choosers, it sure beats the hell out of Mix Master Mike, and CKY. Phantom Planet is actually a very good band, and Hoobastank has a name that at least should bring a crowd for the opening acts.

Ha Ha very true.  Mix Master Mike  where did that ever come from.    :rofl:

OK, this is irrelevent to the Vegas shows, sonce the openers have been announced, But, it has been confirmed that Avenged Sevenfold has cancelled their UK tour due to "Commitments here in the U.S."? Their current US run ends September 21st......Anyone thinkin what I'm thinkin?

i hope it's the way you're thinking..

Is this really true? It sounds funny - can you provide a link or more backstory?

Oh it's true... here ya go:

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=49093

if hoobastank want to win over the crowd all he needs to do is bash scott  :rofl: :beer:

they cancelled their UK tour to finish writing a new album & start recording

LMAO
that would be wicked cool  :hihi:

that actually might be true haha.. and i think i can start to like that band if they bash scott haha

http://www.hardrockhotel.com/rock_thejoint.php


Here, the website was finally updated with the bands....

" Featuring Axl Rose! " :hihi:

lol, yeah, i laughed when i saw that.....like no shit, it better feature axl, lol

"Featuring Axl Rose!....Look-a-like!"  :rofl:

The Hoobastank opening act is very very very good for GNR.  I hope they can make this a long-term opener.  While they aren't one of my favorite bands, they're pretty popular with the younger crowd.  I'd rather see Hoobastank than Bullet for my Valentine or Phantom whatever.   :yes:

I saw them open up for Velvet revolver.  They are ummmmmm   short.   :rofl:

I know that the next single from Hoobastank is supposed to be about Scott Weiland.  The fellas in Hoobastank enjoyed opening for VR, but said Scott was an absolute prick.  Supposedly a few songs on the new LP are written about Scott.

It was actually the first single that was about him. From the lyrics, yeah I'd say he hates Scott.

Hey russtcb,
  Do you know the name of that song, or have a link to the lyrics?  That's an interesting story.
Thanks.   :peace:

To each his/her own.  At least Mix Master Mike was mixing rock and CKY is rock.  Hobastank and Phantom Planet are pop.  Why would Guns have pop acts opening?  I pray that doesn't happen when they get to the midwest.

not crazy about either bands, but like someonelse said "its better the bfmv opening"

The song is called "If I Were You". It's on their newest album "Every Man For Himself". I don't have the lyrics off hand, but I'm sure they're at the band site. If not there's probably plenty of lyric sites that have them.

I only heard the song two or three times but it's pretty easy to tell from one listen that he doesn't care for Weiland at all.

I guess Axl liked their Civil War cover?

True Guns fans wouldn't put up with either of these shit opening bands, and if we get enough hardcore gunners in there (and not people who are there because they have connections) they will be booed offstage.? Phantom Planet and Hoobastank are gonna make BFMV seem like the Beatles by comparison. I hope that the opening bands on the "actual" tour are better than this. A7X and Sebastian Bach would work pretty well, I think.

 

I've been a true Guns fan since 87.

There's nothing wrong with the opening acts. ::)

i hope they have different bands for the TN show,otherwise i will be drinking as the other guy said. LoL :smoking:

Yeah, same here. I remember being told I wasn't a "real guns fan" when I saw Blind Melon and Smashing Pumpkins open for GNR back on the first leg of the UYI tour too.

Didn't Hoobastink learn their lesson opening for VR?!

I wonder who will open the san francisco shows....

I saw Hoob open for VR, and I gotta say, they were really good....Definately NOT POP.
Many rock bands, even big bands, most of their songs sound basically the same...These guys
mix it up quite well and have some real musical talent IMO .

However, I went to the Phantom Planet website and listened to many of their songs (30 sec
clips)...Wow, now thats some sorry pop...These guys may get booed of the stage.

Eh, I dunno. I'm there to see GNR and could really care less who else is there, it'd just be icing on the cake if it were Buckcherry or A7X. Those two bands definitely don't mesh well with GNR fans, IMO. I dunno. Maybe those are just one-off deals. They need a real rock band...

i also saw hoobastank open for vr....at montage in scranton,pa

I saw Hoobastank open for VR at Jones Beach, in NY, and let me tell you, they Hoobasuck BIG TIME. Those guys cannot play their instruments for sh*t and their singer can't hit a note worth a damn. I couldn't believe how bad they were. I guess they just have good production.

Here's hoping when GNR make their way to NY this time around, they bring with them a better opening band then Hoobastank!  :beer:

The only experience I've ever had with them was when the performed part of The Reason on the VMAs and the lead singer sounded like SHIT. So I have no doubt in what you say.

Oh well, nothing can be worse the cky or Mix Master Mike IMO.

bah.. dont like Hoobastank at all.... r they successful in the States? at least it aint any emo band *cough* Bullet for my Valentine *cough*

I saw Hoobastank when they opened for VR here in Fresno. Not a big fan.......

I know Hoob has at least one good song..hopefully they'll open for GN'R in Tenn!  Can't wait for the opening acts to be announced...

Am I wrong or is Hoobastanks lead singer making fun of Guns N' Roses fans in that article?

I took it to mean he was disappointed with how many closed minded GNR & STP fans there were.

Dude should relax. When you're an opening act at rock show some of thoses things will happen. As for Wieland, that's not cool at all if he was treating them like that.

Here's what he said:

"But they were probably really upset because they found some rust spots on their Camaros, or because they got their mullets caught in the door while tailgating, and they were like, 'Ow! Damn it! I'm gonna go mess with HOOBASTANK!"

I think he is either making fun of or making a generalization about GN'R fans.  Whether he was completely serious or not, it's not cool to say about fans that will be watching him as an opening act in a few weeks.  Maybe I'm taking it too serious, but I don't think he was joking about what he said, considering it's coming after the comment of how all of the fans turned their backs on them and held up their middle fingers, which actually pisses him off.  Fuck it all anyway...

hoobastank should play their cover of civil war, than we can at least hear that song again.

That cover is actually quite good!

But, Richard didn't rule out Civil War as an addition to the setlist in the future...  : ok:

I'm the one that posted the link to article in the first place. I was just posting how I took what he said.

All I have to say is...HOOBASUCK! : ok:
