A7x were terrible at the gig I went. It was noise. it was heavy, heavy metal, it sounds nothing like a Rock band. It was just noize.
GN'R shouldn't be associated with anything "Metal" in my opinion. there are so many good ROCK bands out there to open for GN'R... Jet, The Strokes, The Killers etc...really, there are way better bands to start a gig?

i consider them a rock band. that sucks you didnt get to see a good show. because they put on a great show. i think bands like the strokes & the killers are stuff of that nature is very dated music & will be names of the past very soon if not already. i strongly suggest city of evil to everyone that wants a complete album. it's very rare that you get a good album from start to finish, & i think a7x did it. ( dont let there look fool you)

I was really impressed with A7X at the gig, especially with their cover of 'Walk' which really got the crowd buzzing!
Where were you standing? I was standing about 7 people's worth from the front and at times it got so loud it would just turn into noise, but it was still a really good performance...Hell, even Bullet for my Valentine weren't that bad!

Has anyone mentioned Silvertide?
Yesss!! Silvertide would be a great opening act for GN'R, they're a realy good straight up rock n' roll band and wouldn't have much of a problem getting the crowd pumped for Guns, as they did for Velvet Revolver.
Another really good band that recently emerged is Wolfmother, I think they'd do well as an opening act and most Guns N Roses fans would probably enjoy them.

they were at the nijmegen gig too. But Alice in Chains realy sucked. No stage presence at all. Good thing Guns rocked the house.

A7X were really good at Hammersmith I thought, lots of presence and really got the crowd even more fired up than they already were. They were good enough, at least, that I went and had a look at their stuff on iTunes. Better than BFMV anyway.
That said, they use far too much distortion- I got really worried about the sound for GnR at Hammersmith as I could hardly hear the guitar lines distinctly during A7X, but it was great for GnR. It must be something about their setup, or even done deliberately.

I wouldnt have a problem seeing A7X, I just bought City of Evil and was pretty impressed with what I heard. I checked out some BFMV however and couldn't really get into it. I wouldn't mind if A7X did some more shows with Guns.

Whoa are you serious? Thats too bad, they're a really great band, I'd imagine they would be capable of a lot more...

I was at Nijmegen too, and I have to agree. Alice In Chains just flat-out sucked. The sound was terrible, you couldn't hear the vocals, all the songs ran into one another. Stone Sour had more prescence. Not that I'm suggesting them as an opener.
I always wished Tommy would open a GNR show with a solo set. Village Gorilla Head was a fantastic album. Last time I saw Meat Loaf he had his bass player Kasim Sulton open with a few of his own songs. The crowd had respect for this guy - he played on the first 'Bat' album too.
It would be really cool for GN'R to do a co-headlining tour with say, Alice Cooper (then we could get a live version of The Garden!) or Aerosmith, but unfortunately besides being unwilling to share the stage, these bands wouldn't tolerate GNR's erratic start times, and all that goes with it.
Liking Shania Twain is fine - but suggesting her as a GNR opener is ridiculous - you really think
that
crowd would embrace her as an opening act. If you like Shania so much, why do you want to see her get piss-bottled to death?
I'd suggest the New York Dolls! They have a kickass new album out, and just supported Alice a while back.

How about Vains of Jenna, Hardcore Superstar or Crash Diet (they are almost ready again)?
Vains were produced by Gilby and all 3 bands are probably the best rock bands of the genre to come out in years.

I'm with you there. What a great, underappreciated band. Probably not the best fit with GnR, but hey - I'd be happy...

Alice In Chains will always suck without Layne Staley. No getting around it.
As far as answering the thread question - just not Mix Master Mike!

I would really love Weezer again. They have different fan bases (so you'd get a good variety of people) but there are a lot of people who do like both. I'm sure Weezer really should be doing their own tour or something if they're gonna go out this year, but they did do the London gig (seems like ages ago) so one can dream
Alice in Chains without Layne I can't support.
