Suicide Girls opening for Guns!!!

[AxlReznor]

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.

Playing with the Suicide Girls didn't do The Panic Channel any harm.

And seriously... do all of you people work for GN'R? ?No, didn't think so. ?Well, you know what that means?

You don't choose where to play
You don't choose when a cancellation is needed
You don't choose when the band is ready to come onstage
You don't choose the setlist
And just added to the list... You most certainly don't choose who to open the shows

I just don't get some of you people.

I don't get why anyone's gig experience wouldn't be enhanced by LIVE NUDE GIRLS.

GNR + Naked chicks. THAT is a tentpole act.

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.....

Mixmaster Mike is a badass DJ.

The Suicide Girls at least sound interesting (to me), unlike Papa Roach (again, to me).

Dif'rent strokes for dif'rent folks.

I think, if you're that much of a fan of GNR, the money you shell out for a ticket is to see them, and that anything else is just a bonus, which you can choose to skip if you don't like it.

[Alan]

i don't understand all the bitching.

you get to see gnr and a bunch of hot women.......

what the fuck are you complaining about?

[25]

Mixmaster Mike is a badass DJ.

I just know that you're going to get slaughtered for saying that, but I agree. I can see why he didn't get over with GNR fans but he's one talented motherfucker. For a DJ.

Haha!  I don't care if I get slaughtered.  I know turntablism isn't everyone's cup of tea.  But it's one thing to say you dislike something, and another thing entirely to call something "lame"...  Especially when it's not.

My two favorite bands are GNR and the Beastie Boys.  I saw the Beastie Boys with Mixmaster Mike, and he was just AMAZING!  He wasn't simply playing records as background music; he was using the turntables as an instrument, scratching like crazy and creating his own beats on the fly.  That has to be at least as hard as playing a guitar.  (I've tried to do both and failed miserably.  LOL.)

 I saw the Beastie Boys with Mixmaster Mike, and he was just AMAZING! 

I think the first time I heard the guy was on a Beastie Boys track, actually. "3 MCs and 1 DJ" ? Something like that.

3 MC's and 1 DJ!
We be gettin' down with no de-lay!

Yep, that was one of the better tracks off of the Beasties' "Hello Nasty" album, which was the first album featuring Mixmaster Mike.

Before that, they had DJ Hurricane, who is no slouch, but not quite as dextrous as Mixmaster Mike.

Yeah, but neither of them hold a candle to Terminator X or Africa Islam. 

[2005]

Wow. I knew the U.S.A. in general was sexually repressed, but I had no idea that it was so pervasive that American rock n' roll fans - rock n' roll fans!! -  would be up in arms about half-naked ladies putting on a show before their favorite group comes on stage to rock out.

Wierd.

A word to the SG's: stick with the Guns - I promise you'll get a hearty welcome once you cross the northern border into Soviet Canukistan!

See you in Halifax, Nov. 20, and Saint John Nov. 21, ladies.

Yeah, but neither of them hold a candle to Terminator X or Africa Islam.?

Terminator X / the Bomb Squad are the shiznit!

But I would take Mixmaster Mike or Q-Bert, or probably any of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, over them any day (strictly skills-wise, not accomplishment-wise). ?Also Cut Chemist and DJ Shadow.

I don't know Africa Islam ?

[philspectorshotme]

it'll neither hinder nor help gnr PR having suicide girls on tour - cause nobody really gives a shit.

[The Legend]

I can see this being an issue for anyone who is taking their kids.? I have no issue with it but I can see some very pissed parents either before or after the show when they find out who the opening band is.?

Fuck 'em

This is totally Guns N' Roses.

I can just picture these chicks joining GN'R on stage for It's So Easy.

SO FUCKING EASYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

[mega_music]

I really dont care who opens for Guns, I paid to go and see them. For whoever is on stage until the boys come on I really dont care. However the Suicide Girls are kinda sexy, in that freaky kinda way.

Haha... ?Yeah, the US is kinda funny... ?We seem to be more open to mindless violence than to the beauty of the human body, or of two human bodies together for that matter. ?Kinda sad, really.

I think some people would rather see another band in between Bach and GNR than a burlesque show (or a DJ for that matter). ?That's their prerogative. ?But I don't get all the complaining, either.

I don't know Africa Islam 

I was just pulling your leg  Pretty much all of the DJs I can think of I know through their association with rappers from 20 years ago. Africa Islam was Ice-T's DJ for a while in the late eighties. Africa Bambaataa's son, if I remember correctly. Were the Invisibl Skratch Piklz on the El Stew record? 

[AxlReznor]

Invisibl Skratch Piklz?  Didn't they teach Brain how to scratch, which resulted in him incorporated some decks into his drumkit for some bands?

Sounds familiar. But I get confused.

Oh, okay!

I used to be big into the rave/club scene (I had to do something in between UYI and CD ?) and have seen a lot of DJ's and even met a few... ?My roommate at the time did some chauffeuring for one of the nation's biggest club nights, Buzz, held at Nation in Washington DC, and he always hated picking up Africa Bambaataa in his GTI because the dude is HUGE and carries like 20 crates of records. ?(Okay maybe 20 is an exagerration, but he carries more than the standard 1 or 2 that most DJ's carry. ?)

Were the Invisibl Skratch Piklz on the El Stew record??

I don't know ? ?I first heard of them in the clubs and ordered a bunch of their Asphodel recordings on the now-defunct custom-CD website, CDuctive. ?They finally played Buzz in 1999, and instead of dancing like usual, everyone crowded around the DJ booth in a big circle, craning their necks to see these guys work the decks like surgical instruments.
