Title: Helmet: GN'R "Treated us great, and we had an absolute blast" Post by: kyrie on October 01, 2010, 10:03:03 PM So Danko Jones, Murderdolls, and now Helmet - all having nice things to say about GN'R. You know the majority of press outlets won't pick up on any of these stories (especially rock outlets like Blabbermouth who prefer the negative spin) but it's cool to see.

Helmet?s first tour in support of its new studio CD, ?Seeing Eye Dog,? will be a headlining run that continues through Nov. 5. Frontman Page Hamilton said he remains open to opening for other bands on tour, despite a couple such outings that didn?t work out. A tour with Marilyn Manson years ago was one especially sour experience. ?It was a terrible match,? Hamilton said. ?I just had a miserable time on the tour.? Hamilton said the Manson fans made it very clear that they wanted to see the main act and were not interested in watching any other band. A recent support slot with Guns ?N Roses was a more positive experience. ?Axl asked for us,? Hamilton said. ?And they treated us great, and we had an absolute blast and I would do it in a heartbeat again.? |
