What did you think of the supporting acts at the G N'R shows?

[Bumblefeet]

i went to dublin and bullet for my valentine and funeral for a friend were playing. to be honest i didnt even listen. i dont like that kind of music!

[mikegiuliana]

bullets for my valentine fucking sucked each night at hammerstein ,they were to fucking loud for that place.... Got way to metal and it became fucking noise.. No one cared really, was a beer athon, I enjoyed the music on the stereo more.. eevryone singing metallic and ac/dc songs

[jc524]

front row on the 17th - bullet for my valentine was horrible

the songs started out good, but waaaaaay to much crazy screamo shit

[Kujo]

Yeah, they should have just played the house music for 2 hours each night, oh wait............... they did.

Bullet was just not the right band for a GnR crowd. They sounded best the final night when the bassist(?) was gone. He was the worst one with his backing vocals. I'll give them credit for sticking it out, they were catching hell each night.

[sjgotnitro]

BFMV was ok, but that is becuase i do not mind angry type music. I can get into it but it was to loud for that place it did become just noise at times. As mike stated I prefered the music over the sterio system more after bfmv. The crowd was having fun then.

Basically you're all a bunch of fucking morons... Bullet for my Valentine are fucking crazily good.  They are incredibly talented, write heavy but melodic tunes ...  Anyone who labels them is a dick.  By the definition of labels, Guns N' Roses are a fucking hair band....

Just stop slagging off BFMV, because they're amazing.  And live, they sound incredible ...

[Origen]

I seen highlights from Bullet For My Valletine on the Download show. They were horrible, screeching guitars, screaming (not singing) vocals. Just crap noise

[Judge Dredd]

Avenged Sevenfold at Hammersmith were pretty good.

Funeral For A Friend at Donington sucked, but then I've seen them open for Maiden and they were crap then as well.

BFMV are pretty good, and should go down well on the UK tour.

[Catt]

sex action in budapest. lousy. i was almost praying for them to leave the stage. all songs sounded pretty much the same. 

[GNR_Green]

Basically you're all a bunch of fucking morons... Bullet for my Valentine are fucking crazily good.? They are incredibly talented, write heavy but melodic tunes ...? Anyone who labels them is a dick.? By the definition of labels, Guns N' Roses are a fucking hair band....

Just stop slagging off BFMV, because they're amazing.? And live, they sound incredible ...

I was near the front for their set at Download - they sucked. ?Like Busted on steroids. ?Melodic? ?I can only think of about one riff that vaguely caught my attention, the vocals were sucky - they almost sound ok until they start growling and screaming, I find that so boring. ?And before you say anything I like Strapping Young Lad, where screaming works with the music not against it. ?So they have technique, great. ?They were wearing Megadeth and Metallica t-shirts - now there are two bands with awesome technique and yet have the talent to turn it into decent music. ?I fucking love metal but that wasn't a very good metal band I heard.

As for "By the definition of labels, Guns N' Roses are a fucking hair band...", what the fuck are you talking about?

The only band I saw at Download that were worse was Funeral For A Friend ?

[Crashdiet]

bullet for my valentine isn't bad... just not a good fit as an opener for gnr. Now buckcherry... that would be wikkid

[anythinggoes]

Funeral For My Valentine

Bullet for A Friend

Avenged Seven Fold

were all just screaming emo crap the only reason i put up with them was because GNFNRS were playing next shame we cant have a decent non screaming real rock band to open for them liikee.....hmmmm....let me think....errr....a ha er no ......fuck it were has the real music gone ah i know how about The Prodigy opening for GNR id be up for that 

[darkmonth]

I seen highlights from Bullet For My Valletine on the Download show. They were horrible, screeching guitars, screaming (not singing) vocals. Just crap noise

WTF!?  They focus on tight riffing, vocal melody, and searing solos ... You're a freak if you couldn't hear quality from them...

You're just fucking short sighted and closed minded.

we are all entitled to our opinions of who is crap and who isnt some people dont like the bands others do but its fuck all to do with

You're just fucking short sighted and closed minded.

and more to do with personal taste and not liking the noise they make

[Top-Hatted One]

the drums were fuckin annoying

[FortusGNR21]

Did any of you guys see Living Things in Madrid? What you guys think of them? I went to see them at Download and they didn't seem in to it at all, was a really small, unenthusiastic crowd they were playing to, but some of the stuff I quite liked!

[Kujo]

WTF!?? They focus on tight riffing, vocal melody, and searing solos

Yes. Yes. and Yes.

I loved the music and I could tell that there was a melody trying to present itself, but it just didn't come across live. The singing was either drowned out by the instuments or screamed to the point of being un-recognizable. I heard him introduce the titles of the songs fine. After that I couldnt tell you one word that man sang.

No I'm just not deaf. although after listening to them I'm surprised I'm not now.

Like Anythinggoes said it's personal opinion, if you can't accept that them you shouldn't come to a board to discuss things. You like them I don't, end of.

[AdZ]

Basically you're all a bunch of fucking morons... Bullet for my Valentine are fucking crazily good.

Right, so when 90% of the people that have had the unfortune of seeing them say they're horrible.. they are the morons.


Frankly it was one of worst musical live experiences of my life.


..And I've seen The Duke Spirit

[mikegiuliana]

BFMV were just to loud for a small venue like hammerstein ,it became a mashed up mess... maybe thy are good, I only know when all the intruments, especially the drums kicked in it was like a noise fest with the drums giving you heart pains..
