Quality of the Supporting Acts (Avenged Sevenfold / Bullet For My Valentine)

[BLS-Pride]

Well in America the 02 tour wasn't that well recieved. I'd rather see a harder band with Guns too.. Hell I'd give anything for a GnR/BLS tour with Brand New Sin opening.. But I think A7X will tour with GnR.. I dont know.. its a guy feeling maybe. I listed the positives in my other posts.. I just want to see Guns and Axl get the respect they deserve. The audience they deserve.. The more people.. the more conversions to Guns fan.

Don't know too much about them, but the guitar player should stay away from solos:

I stumbled upon this clip while browsing Harmony Central & let me tell you, they crucified the poor guy. I actually felt sorry for him.

I put down AX7 in several posts, but i've been playing City of Evil NON STOP today....some of the tracks are REALLY good.  Glad they stopped screaming.  If they love GNR so much though they should take a page out of their book....drop the make up (or in guns case, the glam) and stupid stage names and just be yourselves.  Minor complaint though, the music does all the talking.  I wouldnt mind seeing them open up for Guns. 

Never been to a show though, I could see A LOT of moshing and fighting though - the younger fans might not mix so well with the older GNR fans....could get ugly.

I don't mind the quality of these acts, like someone said, its better than 90% of the industry so I'm ok with it.


I think it's fair to say though, from this board, that the majority want Silvertide or Buckcherry.  Not many can question the quality of these two bands.  Silvertide live is an absolutely crazy rock n' roll show; even upstaged VR for me personally and I had never even heard of them before.

A7X and Bullet For My Valentine is MUCH better than CKY and Mixmaster Mike!!

I saw Silvertide open for VR at Vr's first show of the tour (the pageant in St.Louis). They would have been better had the lead singer not been drunk off his ass- he even fell a couple of times.

I'd like to see either GnR with Silvertide and Buckcherry or GnR with Backyard Babies and Buckcherry.

I think when/if GnR tours Australia, they should have Wolfmother open those shows.  You guys ever heard Wolfmother? Imagine the beatles, led zeppelin, and a touch of sabbath all mixed together. their cd doesn't come out in the usa til may 2nd. it sounds like it should've come out in 1976 instead of 2006.

really like A7X but bullet isnt a great choice (at least for me)

Hey, sounds like they'll fit in with Axl's Queen thing.

I think the show is gonna rock, wish i could be there to see it. BUt I know when GNR played MSG 2002, I was in the bar till GNR came out. Had no interest in MMM, nor CKY, WHEN GNR come to the states, and if they do take along A7X, I will definitly be into it, and want to see them.


As far as crazyness.let me tell you how crazy it was when I saw GNR ast the felt forum , the ritz, etc, back in the day. I may not want to particpate in the moshing.lol, but I sure would love to see it again. Oh hell may e I will join in, get in the ring so to speak.lol.

You should have gone to Rosas Pizza in penn station.....you get HUGE buds for like a dollar - cheapest beer in the city!  We did the same thing, just drank till we guestimated what time Guns would go on.  I met this guy who was so confident Axl was gonna go on late, he got to the show an hour into GNR's set hahahaha  poor dude.

[jazjme]

HAHA. I was in the bar in the garden, handing out promo stuff from the street team thing. I was shocked that they went on a lil after 9.lol, some dudes came in and were like fuck I didnt think he would go on before 10.lol

Its amazing how good at playing fast and doing such great sweep picking and play that shitty of finger tapping.

[gnrrock]

Atleast Avenged will get the young crowd out.

I wouldn't mind seeing this open up before Axl goes on stage:

i agree with you on silvertide. i've seen them live at least 25 times, and they put on an awesome show every time.

they would be a great act to have open for GnR. but i wonder if the fact that they opened for VR hurts their chances??

BFMV is awful. they're currently opening up for rob zombie. i'm going to the show in a couple of weeks, but there is no chance i'll go in to see them.
