I think the opener has to be big enough to have their own audience (3,000-8,000) but not too big that their audience is as big as the GNR fans. As well the opening act's fans have to gel with GNR fans. None of those UK bands that are ONLY big in the UK are going to work (i.e. Muse). I think the only two realistic choices for opening acts (I'm talking about North America) are Black Label Society and Kid Rock. Black Label Society is a good choice because they sell out 3,000-5,000 seat venues constantly, great music, have a new record coming out in September, and Zakk has worked with Axl before. I don't like Kid Rock's music, but like somebody mentioned, his audience digs GNR. He also has a big enough fanbase that would help boost attendance. Either of these bands work because their audiences are similar to GNR's, have big fanbases (that could become potential GNR fans through the shows), and have similar images to GNR (badass rock).

I think Buckcherry would be the perfect opener for GNR. They have a fairly popular rock single out now in Crazy Bitch and are the closest thing to a straight up American Rock Band Now. What do you guys think?

Thank you! Several people at the NY shows including myself said this. Especially after hearing their new album, I think they would be perfect. I've seen them live, they put on a pretty good show. MUCH less likely to get booed than BFMV.
Speaking of the US tour - I have been a little out of it lately, does anyone know anything about when they'll announce tour dates? I need to plan my vacation days at work!!

That's who I was going to suggest. Axl better bring his A-Game least he gets shown up though. I saw Silvertide last October at WMMR's Creep Fest and was blown away, Walt's a great performer. Institute was the headliner and Walt blew Gavin and crew off the stage, even my friend agreed and Bush is his favorite band.

agreed. i was at that show as well. anyone i know that has ever seen 'tide live instantly became huge fans.
they would be a great opening act. i'd love to see it. and they are "close" to finishing a new record. so they may have an album/single to promote in the fall.

It will more than likel be someone that either Sanctuar of Geffen/Universal is looking to promote. Start looking at up and comers with new(er) releases associated with Sanctuar or Geffen/Universal/Interscope

What about The Strokes? They're pretty big in Europe. Are they popular in the U.S?
They are GN'R fans, especially the guitar player, he's been very influenced by Slash.

A 80s glam band like Poison/Cinderella opening would be a bad thing imo.
And Aerosmith/Motley Crue wouldn't open for GnR. If anythink GnR would open for Aerosmith.
Maybe Sebastians band will do, maybe you'll get Mix Master Mike again, who knows.
An 80's band would be a bad choice, because then the tour will be deemed a nostalgia tour and people will go expecting the same exact thing as they got in the 80s. If Gnr gets a GOOD young band, they will do well in terms of sales, and they will also be exposed to a new audience, which makes them relevant, with kids today.

i've been saying a7x the whole time. it makes perfect sense they sell there shows out. which guns needs a solid support act, ( since they will probally charge a arm & a leg for tickets). we all know what the ticket sales were like in '02. & a7x has a very young fan base which is great for g n' r. it will sell alot more albums & expose these kids to guns n' roses. i can't believe some of you called a7x noise!!! what were you listening to? maybe it was bad sound in the place. this band sounds great live. ( just watch them on youtube). & this is one of the few groups that can play there instruments. i can go on & on, but i wont. the music speaks for itself!! listen to city of evil.
