Title: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: CherryGarcia on December 31, 2015, 10:45:14 AM In 1989, GN'R opened for the Stones on their Steel Wheels tour. In 2006, if you recall, Guns were slated to open for the Stones again for a few dates on their A Bigger Bang tour, but then Keith's head got injured and the dates GN'R were supposed to open for them were cancelled. If GN'R is truly reunited, wouldn't it be cool if GN'R opened for the Stones at some point, since it seems like they're going to continue touring til they drop? Two of the greatest rock bands ever at one event.

Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: CherryGarcia on December 31, 2015, 10:48:06 AM Are you nuts? Why would I be? Axl was fine with opening for them in 2006 until Keith's injury got in the way. If he hadn't agreed to it in 2006 I'd see your point but the Stones are one band that, no matter how big the other band is, they're opening for them. Plus, it would be an amazing show. Axl and the guys followed by Mick and the lads? I'd pay a grand to see that. Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: pilferk on December 31, 2015, 10:53:44 AM No.

This is and I don't quite see what would be in it for him to take a significant cut in payment to play second banana to someone else just to play at the same venues that a GnR reunion will happily fill on its own. It's ludicrous. Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: rebelhipi on December 31, 2015, 10:59:50 AM Yes, there isint one band in the world that is too big to open for the Stones.
It would be a epic show in any case because the Stones are there. If the AFD 5 are reuniting (i doubt it) i bet they couldnt pull a 2hours+ show anyway. Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: sky dog on December 31, 2015, 11:15:44 AM No.

Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: Thorned Rose on December 31, 2015, 11:26:21 AM Fuck no I think people truly don't understand how big this is Long time no see D... And hell no. The Stones are over the hill man. They have been since after the forty licks tour.... that was the last hurrah! Gn'R reuniting is a HEADLINING fucking spectacular event. People should beg to OPEN for them. Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: sky dog on December 31, 2015, 12:46:56 PM let's not get carried away... ::)
Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: Spirit on December 31, 2015, 12:47:43 PM The stones could open for gnr Yeah, I don't see that happening... ;) Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: Tongue-like-a-razor on December 31, 2015, 02:24:50 PM There's The Stones - and then there is all the rest. No offence.
Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: raindog on December 31, 2015, 03:04:29 PM Lest we forget, the Stones have released TWO albums of original material in the last 20 years. Agreed, doff your cap in respect, Axl. ;)
Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: draguns on December 31, 2015, 06:25:40 PM I love the Stones, but no. Let GNR have their moment in the sun.
Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: COMAMOTIVE on December 31, 2015, 06:26:10 PM Previous version of Gn'r of past decade - Yes
This version ..no Not a good fit This has to be it's own thing where the people who pack the stadium are there for Guns N' F*cking Roses first Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: Bazfreak on January 03, 2016, 08:40:46 PM This wouldn't fit at all... different styles, different fanbase... GNR too big for opening up for anyone IMO.
Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: GnR-NOW on January 03, 2016, 08:46:44 PM No, GNR should only headline
Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones? Post by: sandman on January 04, 2016, 08:23:37 AM yes. absolutely. anytime you get a chance to open for the Stones, you take it. i believe Axl said something like that in the past (i.e. if Mick asks you to do something, you do it). the buzz generated from a show like that would be incredible and would only further add to the success of a reunited GnR.
having said that, I wouldn't want to see a full tour where they are opening. they certainly do not need it. but after they play a few shows, maybe even a full leg of a tour, opening some shows for the stones would be incredible. they could do multiple nights at stadiums in some major markets. a handful of shows at Met Life or in LA would be sweet. two of the greatest bands of all time.

Post by: C0ma on January 04, 2016, 08:29:46 AM If they were to open for a giant I would prefer it to be for a Led Zeppelin reunion (anything is possible now). I have seen The Stones about 6 times and to be honest the Bridges of Babylon tour back in the late 90's was the last time they were any good live... after that they were an embarrassing shell of themselves.

I've seen them and they are still great. their reviews are very positive overall. Title: Re: (Should they) open for the Stones?
