I'm glad these guys are supporting GNR, but I'm equally glad I don't have to see them. Just not my kind of band. Now, the quesiton is, who's opening in the rest of November...

Baz... that'd be sufficient for me.? Unless they want to bring Buckcherry along for the ride, that'd be equally cool IMO.

I see a trend forming here.....I have never heard them before.

[BluesGNR]

I see a trend forming here.....I have never heard them before.

Well, if you had heard them.. youd probably be part of the trend that doesnt like them 

[pasnow]

They're kinda like Limp Bizkit.. (ie. not good)  , j/k not my thing though. Nice that he complimented GnR & fans though. Hope they at least put on a good set.

[grog mug]

I've never seen Papa Roach live, but the Cut my life into Pieces song is GREAT.  I can't wait to hear it live in Tennessee.  I think they would be a great warm up act.  Can't wait!

Glad to see they wont be at the NJ, MSG or MD shows 

[pasnow]

but the Cut my life into Pieces song is GREAT.??

HAHA, yeah I like that one.. Guilty pleasure I suppose.?


EDIT: Actually wait, no that's not the one. I like the one that came out about 2 years ago, "Tear my heart open, I sewed them shut, my weakness is, I cared too much" Can't think of the name??

[marino95]

That song is called Scars.  Actually, I think they are kind of a stupid band myself - but heard the "Getting Away With Murder" album from start to finish and must admit - they have some good songs.  Scars, Last Resort ("cut my life into pieces, etc.") and Getting Away With Murder are all pretty good rock songs.

Speaking of this .... wouldn't the KILLERS be a great opening band?  Their new album is great.

[FunkyMonkey]

I see that there last two CD's were with Geffen.  Does this play into the decision on who to book?

[Dr. Blutarsky]

The few songs that I have heard from Papa Roach were pretty good. It diddn't entice me to buy the CD, but certainly a better choice than the previous tour in 02. At least they support GNR and the fans rather than taking shots at them like CKY did.

[requiem156]

Speaking of this .... wouldn't the KILLERS be a great opening band?? Their new album is great.

The Killers sold 5 million of their last album. It's doubtful that they will be opening for anyone. I'd prefer them to Papa Roach, though, who I am honestly not fond of - their singer has terrible pitch, and the lyrics seem incredibly cliched.

No offense intended to those that enjoy them.

[marino95]

Good point - the Killers are probably too big.

[rocky]

They are actually a great live band.  I think the are a great opening band, they would be in my top 3 bands to open if I were in charge, right behind buckcherry and Green day (although they are probably too big)

[Eclipsed107]

I'm pretty sure the Killers were just an opening band on a tour not all that long ago...

They'd be a nice addition to the tour.  Honestly I don't care who the openers are, I'm there for Gn'R.

I mean I'd love for someone good to show up, but if it's someone bad I'll be able to live with it.

Buckcherry would be my pick for the band who replaces papa roach.

I feel sorry for these fans.

Very glad they didnt say Edmonton or even Canada.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

The killers would be a killer opener. But alas, they are now too  big to be an opener.
