[philspectorshotme]

are there any pics in this thread? im not prepared to sift through 8 pages of underage whining or redfields lame justifications without any payoff.

[AxlReznor]

Lame justifications... yeah... right.   If all you care about is seeing pictures, go to their site.

What kind of girls are we talking about here

[Randy Jesus]

Maybe it will be 18 and over for the opener and once they are done... Those under 18 will be allowed in.

[colma]

!!! to the rescue
 


If they are in fact opening, and you are offended - show up later. ?

[FunkyMonkey]

I just heard from the Target Center in Minneapolis and all they know at this point is that Sebastian Bach is opening.

You're treating it like it's just porn.   It's not like the usual derogatory shit - this is made by women, with the women controlling everything.  Because they have self-respect, they don't do things that they are not comfortable with and if you think of a few naked breasts as porn then you're extremely ignorant.  Erotica... nude photography... but not porn.

Porn by any other name smells just as sweet. With a slight whiff of fecal matter.

I may be the most ignorant person on the planet, it's not impossible, but I know porn when I see it. Your mistake, I guess, is to assume that all porn is evil exploitation and that what SG are doing is something new. "Erotica" is porn with a higher price tag, packaged for middle-class guilt and self-denial. I'm not saying that all porn is equal, but it is all the same under the surface. Someone who makes a living from their body isn't going to get less of my respect because they've got a 14" plastic rod up their backside nor more of my respect because they choose to keep their panties on. I don't care what they do but whatever they choose, it is what it is. And "by women, for women" is no sign of moral authority, check out the lifetime channel's daily wallowing in the gutters of rape, child molestation and serial murder.

CLiff Notes version: Hey, they can do as they please. And if they choose to get naked in public and take pictures of it for a living, fantastic! But don't pretend it's something else.

This is pretty much the weirdest move in the new GNR playbook. I can't decide whether it's ingenious or insane. GNR do have a history with naked bosoms though, so it's not totally out of left-field. I guess this makes GNR the first band in history to have it's own travelling tail farm. Sorry groupies, you've been usurped.

It's inspired; the SGs are very, um, "with-it" at the moment, what with the whole alterna-burlesque-Dita-von-Teese thing going on. This may get GN'R a bit of positive press.

I don't know, it seems like it was a couple of years ago that the whole Dita/Neo-Burlesque thing jumped the shark. I'm pretty sure that Dita herself was on that America's Next Top Model show within the last year, and there's no surer indicator that you're past your prime as an erotic icon than mainstream acceptance.

[elevendayempire]

Yeah, but mainstream acceptance is exactly what GN'R need now.

SG

They're releasing an album, not running for office. Flavor Flav has his own show, I don't see him selling out any arenas or having a hit album without the much less mainstream Chuck D fronting for him. GNR need a successful album, and no amount of naked flesh will help them to achieve that. I mean, the cover of Electric Ladyland was great and all but  the it was the music that sold copies and put asses in seats. I think adding a burlesque show to their live bill has great entertainment possibilities, but if jiggling boobs could cement your place in music history they'd be touring titty bars.

You think the press will paraise the band for having a strip show open for them? It'll be the opposite. Every paper will talk about how little power and class the name GN'R now holds because they couldn't even find a BAND to open for them and they resorted to a strip act.

If the GNR camp were worried about that they wouldn't have booked them. It's not even a consideration.

[chineseroses]

well it'll certainly be "Rock n Roll" of Axl

[Bubba St. Rose]

YES!!!!
Now this is an opening act!!!
The Suicide Girls will be opening for GNR!!!

This is the message I got on myspace this morning:

The SuicideGirls will be opening for <a href="http://web.gunsnroses.com/index.jsp">Guns N Roses</a href> begining this Monday the 13th of November in Baltimore. That means the remaining tour dates on their tour will be rescheduled for after the 1st of the year.

If you missed the show, or we missed your city, now's your chance to catch the SuicideGirls Live! Come on out!

This is the kind of crap that pisses me off about Axl. I've been a fan since I bought AFD in 1987 and I"ve put up with all the garbage over the years. It was bad enough paying too much to see them in 2002 with crappy opening band and lame DJ, now we have this?? At least with Papa Roach supporting it justifies the price of a ticket. Why.....

[Bubba St. Rose]

anythings better than papa roach ?

You're nuts. Papa Roach rocks. I just don't get some of you people.
