Who should open for GN'R on the North American tour?

[Chief]

traditionally in the past in these small vegas shows there have been no openers!

im guessing one of the kroq show bands may end up opening for Gnr on this tour........

anyone know if there WILL be an opener for the Hard Rock Hotel on 9/16 and 9/17? I know on the Hard Rock website it says just GNR at 8 PM.

Either Sebastian Bach or Buckcherry

I've seen Buckcherry live before, they're alright. The problem with them is, people don't seem to know a lot of their good catalog music and just expect them to play "The Cocaine Song" over and over. But they're pretty good.

As for Avenged Sevenfold, I noticed that too, that they don't have anything planned for October...I'm hoping they'll go a Halloween show in NYC, but hoping on the Night Train with GNR is just as good 

Interesting because the Buckcherry show I went to this year everyone seemed to know the songs.  Everyone was singing along.  Granted this was in a smaller venue and in LA so probably the people there were hardcore fans.  I think that they appeal to the same type of crowd as GnR so they would do well even if the fans didn't know the songs.  No matter who they schedule this will probably be something of an issue.  They aren't going to have another big time band with a huge fanbase open for them, it will be a smaller band that's known.  I think there's a better chance of fans who go to a GnR show knowing the songs of Buckcherry than knowing the songs of Avenged Sevenfold or BFMV

get Mank Rage ..that may be cool.

axl rose take the stage at 8p.m???   LMFAO  ain't never gonna happen.

i'm probably the only person here that would say this, but i liked bullet for my valentine, what little bit of them i saw.

yea its just you

well, i'm probably alot older then you and they kinda reminded me of the old metal that we listened to way back when, sort of a combination of the ramones and the old motley crue (too fast for love era)

[slash666]

^ i love metal, Slayer, Maiden(old stuff), Priest Etc. but  BFMV remind me of crap, if you see them live you will understand, after every 2 or 3 notes theres always a sqweel from the guitarist and it gets very annoying, also most of there songs song the same, it the only time i've felt tierd whist watching a band

[Scabbie]

Coheed and Cambria would be my choice now I've seen them live. Awesome band.

That's a great call man! They are an awesome band!

GNR needs an equal act to tour with to bring in the fans.  Like the Def Leopard/Journey tour or Cinderella/Poison tour.  If it were GNR/Motley Crue, I would agree in it being a good tour.  But Axl alone will prove to be a waste of time to average America.  But, Madison Square Garden will still sell out.

GN'R/Motley would be awesome.. but i doubt it would happen  . My bet is still on Ax7

Motley Crue is on tour with Aerosmith this fall, already taken.  I think it'd be smart, and cool if they got a known band to open for them to help draw in more fans.  Not that they can't stand alone but a lot of people still don't believe in the NEW GNR, with another big name on the bill they may look past the fact that Slash and co. are no longer in the band.  And hopefully by the end of the night they'd realize just how good the new band is.

Isis would be a personal wish of mine.

[axlssis]

oh hell yeah, lets have guns and the crue tour together....axl and vince can finally settle that old score between them.  and besides motely crue sucks ass now.  and i'm sure they'd so be able to agree as to who the headliner was.  i know, lets get velvet revolver to open, wouldn't that be a trip?  i'm sure it would draw in the crowds.  and there ya go, axl and slash on the same stage, the thing so many people want.

[Chief]

isn't ISIS on tour with TOOL right now?

Isis would be a personal wish of mine.

I agree that they will probably take one of the bands off Inland Invasion.  I'd like to see Buckcherry, myself but who knows. 

GNR@8pm in Vegas is never gonna happen.  Axl isn't even up yet.  You may be standing in line at 8 but I bet you will be waiting til quite past 11 if there is no opener, which I doubt there will be.

I heard the tail end of BFMV at Hammerstein on the 14th and wasn't impressed so when I came back on the 17th I didn't even go in until 10:45.

Yes, it was more of an improbable fantasy on my part

[goldfinger19]

All the bands you guys keep mentioning are already booked up for the time GNR will be on tour. There really are only a couple of band that I think it could be. Unfortunately one of them is Avenged Sevenfold, and on the upside the other is Buckcherry. And C&C...please not again, how many times will I have to see this band opening for someone else before they just go away. In that sense they are just like Bullet for My Valentine, Jet, and Hoobastank, I've seen them all a million times, and not once did I go to the concert to see them.

[axlssis]

actually, as i think back to prior guns tours, they usually use a relatively unknown band for an opener.

[Chief]

you're probably right.. and it also seems like they choose them at the last minute too!!
