Best and Worst GNR Opening Acts

[gnrlies247]

Worse still I have to suffer Bullet again when I see Metallica at Wembley this year....


Same here, it will be the 3rd time i've seen em live, i thought they were absolute shit, but i downloded their album,'The poison' after i'd seen em live and it ain't too bad, nothing special though

[gnrbacik]

The bests were: Skid Row, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden and Faith No More... and Metallica?

i agree, + suicide girls

[gcluskey]

My Little Funhouse & Faith No More opened for GnR in Slane, Ireland '92. I thought they were all great but Mike Patton was a bit of a moany cunt

[chriskon72]

when did oasis support?

They playing before GN'R,the sound was realy fucked up..it was not a good show...

I have a video of this show. I thought Oasis were awsome, they did pretty much the same set as on Familliar to Millions and were good...like I said it was video - maybe the being there was different. Just before closing with Rock n'Roll Star Liam said "This one is for Mr.Rose!" If you are an Oasis fan shit like that doesn't happen everyday.

Best:
Blind Melon/Soul Asylum/The Cult   in 1993 Milton Keynes UK

Bullet for my boredom

[Juanjay]

Faith No More was the best hands down.

[CheapJon]

[axlssis]

worst opening act???     suicide girls

[Lafayettecopssuck]

I know the suicide girls get a lot of shit but that girl hula hooping with the hula hoop on fire totally grabbed my attention, maybe its just because i'm a music teacher(ide like to give a shout out to stolat)  you all know him thats JZ

[Axlrose4eva]

People seriously need to get a clue about the Eagles of Death Metal.  What Axl did was screwed up, he even apologized about it.  You can all worship him, but I was at the Cleveland show and they did exactly what one could expect them to do...play their music.  They tried to get the crowd involved and the ignorant assholes threw bottles at them.  Its fine for GNR to walk off the stage when their mic's arent perfect, but EODM playing 5 minutes too short because theyre being pelted for playing their music is shitty?  If you werent at the Cleveland show you probably shouldnt talk about them.  They also cant be sooo awful if Axl said that shit and then called them up to apologize and ask them back.  Heres a hint for Axl: DO SOME RESEARCH.  Dont ask a band to come if youve never heard them.  How can you blame a band who was asked by GNR to open, wrote about how excited they were, and then played their songs relatively flawlessly.  Axl threw them under the bus for no reason.  People here dont like mike patton for saying that GNR was too excessive in 91?  Are you kidding me, of course GNR was too excessive then.

Also Mike Patton is a genius and an amazing talent.  Someone on page 1 accused FNM of being greedy?  Mike Patton could be so much more popular and make so much more money if he wanted.  Instead he does what he wants.  He is a workaholic who actually gets things done.  He is inventive, he is broad with his tastes and does/says what he wants.   Instead of doing music intended for wide audiences he does things like Mr. Bungle or Tomahawk or recording an Italian cd.  He definitely isnt in it for the money.  If youve never heard tomahawk or seen Mike Patton live then you shouldnt comment because he is amazing.  Seriously, look at Patton and Axl, which one looks more marketable...if you say Axl youre nuts.

Educate yourselves to this reality: Mike Patton has released about 25 cd's in the last 15 years Axl has released 0.  Mike Patton's songs push the edges of the music industry and are creative, the new GNR songs are good, but seriously, 1/2 sound like linken park, the other half sound like UYI left overs.  Mike Patton has a better voice than Axl and Mike Patton doesnt have gay ass white redheaded dreadlocks.  I love GNR, but people really shouldnt talk about them like they are flawless gods, they arent.  Axl screwed up with EODM and just because Mike Patton was a little bit disillusioned by GNR's excesses and lack of cohesiveness in the early 90's, doesnt mean that he isnt a great muscian.

[stolat]

I was about to consider your argument however I became offended at your 'gay ass white redheaded dreadlocks" comparison. Now I can't take you seriously.

Shame, because I do like the two latest EODM songs - however they wouldn't be appreciated by many of the females in the audience.

[Lafayettecopssuck]

Don't you mean POSM?

[stolat]

POSM?
And that is an acronym for?

[CheapJon]

POSM?
And that is an acronym for?

pigeons of shit metal (eagles of death metal)

[F*ck Fear]

From the two shows I seen.

Mix Master Mike and CKY were the worst.

Die Mannequin and Bach were the best. Didn't mind watching the Suicide Girls either.

[Dead N' Bloated]

I think the Aus leg line up is the best for a while. Baz N' the Tats kick arse.
The worst I think woulda been the 2002 openers.
