korn or good charlotte as opening acts? What the hell

[F*ck Fear]

Sorry,but musically Good Charollete or whatever should never share a stage with Axl...Even if they are just openers...But hey,we had to sit through Mix Master Mike a few years ago,so who knows.
Korn isn't all that bad actually.

[badapple81]

Good Charlotte no, but Korn I can handle.

Just because Axl socialised with them, there is no suggestion they may tour with them. Hopefully seeing them at their tour launch may motivate Axl to get out on the road with the album again.

I don't care who opens for Guns N' Roses quite frankly. I'm just there for GN'R.

[Shakey]

I'd hate to see Good Charlotte open for GNR.? Although it might be fun to watch hysterical fans throw quarters at them, and scream we want axl.? I think Korn would be a decent opening act that more GNR fans could live with than Good Charlotte, but nothing to get excited about.? Personally I would rather see a band like Modest Mouse or The Arcade Fire open.? I saw both play this summer, and thought that The Arcade Fire put on one of the best shows I had ever seen.?

Korn is too "metal" for GN'R. It's not the same kind of audience.
I think RATM would be better for GN'R.
and what about The Offspring? (I'm serious). I've always likes that band. A friend of mine told me they sound great Live. Plus, Dexter Holland is a GN'R fan. The Manic Streets Preachers would be great too, or Travis, or Audioslave. There are plenty of good Rock band around to open for GN'R.

It wouldn't fit with GN'R.

I know a great band to open for GNR, but they would never do it: Slayer!!

[You Gonna Eat That?]

RATM and Offspring would be awesome. As would Korn, I wouldnt mind seeing those cats live.

[Scabbie]

Why has everyone forgotten about Avenged Sevenfold? Out of all three bands they're the ones I think would fit best with GN'R and I'd love to see them both tour together

[babydolls]

Weezer supported GnR already in 2002 (london show).  they do have their own crowd - but you can bet that every person was there for GnR.  Weezer were ok though.

I think Korn are too big to open for anyone.  Same goes for the white stripes and oasis comments (aside from the fact that oasis are sh*t and nowhere the same league)  And I really hope the Bryan Adams comment was a joke.

Nine Inch Nails might be up for it. 

Who supported GnR in USA on the other 2002 dates?

Exactly. A7X have the chops, the stage presence (they put on a killer live show), and every single member of that band, particularly their lead singer, worships Gn'R. This would be a tour I would love to see. Of course, like other people have said, it doesn't really matter who opens--I'm there.

[shaun]

Adler's appetite should appear on stage first, followed by Velvet Revolver, followed by the new Gn'R

LMFAO , I find it funny that Axl gets photographed with a couple bands at a party and all of a sdden everyone speculates they might open for guns n roses.

1st off , wheres this big tour gunna kick off too?! I didnt even hear about this new gnr tour , I must be under a rock. Damn it. Has MSG sold out yet?

Secondly , besides korn and good charlotte and Avenged Sevenfold how about some of the other people we've seen axl with? Will they be openers too? those two girls who were sqeezing him in that one pic , maybe they can get up and dance .. or how about the shots of axl with the lambo , maybe someone could put the car onstage and get in and rev it up for an half n hour?

Sillyness I tell you.

Hey , Axl was wearing a maple leafs jersey .. maybe tie domi will get onstage and sing some love songs too.

I can see why axl doesnt go out much if these are the kinda reactions he gets each time he steps outside the comfort of his fort , or area 51 or wherever he's hiding the master tapes.

OMG he has braids and he's wearing a jersey and talking to members of Korn at KORNS launch party!! You let me down Axl.

yeah , bad choice of words ..

some. 

[mikegiuliana]

let me tell you I could give a fuck really who opens for axl's group.. I just know how he can be in the moment or get off on some trend as influence wether it be nu metal or emo so that's why I thought hell anything is possible.. If he could use mixmaster and cky then anything is possible..  I seriously doubt there is any type of tour coming up, it was just  atopic..

[younggunner]

when are you people gonna realize that he was at a party hanging out. He happened to take pics with a few bands. Nothing more nothing less. Do you actually think...better yet...does it actually look like Axl went to that party hoping to take a pic with GC? I can see Axl having a convo with the Korn guy and posing with him but GC cmon. It looks liek they asked for a pic.

You people are really out there.

and Mike what is wrong with the idea of Axl ,aybe being influenced by todays music...{I highly doubt GC}....Were you saying the same thing with old gnr and all their influences? Axl im sure has a shitload of musical influences. It doesnt mean he wants to be them. Without influences Axl wouldnt be Axl. If something Korn does inspires Axl and he takes that and incorporates that into what hes doing and it turns out great who cares. As long as Axl is not singing about dubs and bling and whining about nothing then its all gravy

[NickNasty]

I seriously doubt Axl went to the party to scope out potential opening acts. He was probably invited by somebody who is a mutual friend of the Korn camp and his own and took up the invite. Or, if we want to delve into conspiracy land (and why not?) perhaps his publicity people told him it would be a good thing to go to in order to reintroduce himself to the music-types. That he allowed press photos to be taken is intriguing to me, especially (as noted in the other thread) it has been near impossible to get a press snapshot of the guy in years. But right now, all this whole thing does is confirm that he's alive and well, and decided to grow a goatee.

I think Avenged Sevenfold or whatever they are called are very mediocre.

My brother let me hear some songs and I thoght they were pretty stock to be honest.

[Crashdiet]

I'll stand up right now and say that axl should call Todd Kerns to open up... I'm sure no one knows who he is because he's indie canadian.... But he would rock the balls off your neighbors dog.... high energy.... would be awesome.

check it out axl

[nesquick]

what about Michelle Branch to open? She was to the party and is a GN'R fan.
