Suicide Girls opening for Guns!!!

[The Legend]

Just to clarify.

The shows are still all ages.

Yeah, last time I checked Axl saying 'FUCK' every five seconds, wasn't exactly PG-rated.

Guns shows have always been R-rated or worse.

If you're not prepared for that, stay home.

This is a horrible decision.  Youre right its a rock show, people want to hear and see rock music.  I mean seriously if i want to see strippers or porn ill go to a strip club before the show and come to the arena at 10:30.  I want to hear music.  i dont really like papa roach but i wouldnt mind seeing them live at least they are musicians.  I guess I like rock music not strippers.  Im not into bondage or tattoos on girls, lesbianism doesnt really get me off.  The shameful thing is there are so many good bands out there that could really use the exposure opening for GNR would give them, not to mention the fact that people in these bands are huge GNR fans.  Axl and management blew it on this one,you want strippers, have them strip during your set,  its a rock concert, i want rock music, i dont want a mixmaster, i dont want strippers.  I love gnr and bach and will go see them, but SG will not bring in more fans, it will not get the crowd more into the music (it might get some horny, which is nice since theyll have to wait around in a crowded, cramped, hot arena.  Being in an arena with a bunch of sweaty drunk perverts who just saw a strip show doesnt sound too fun to me.  And you can say " Oh this is rock n roll" theres always been strippers.  yeah, but back in the day bands didnt have to give them an opening slot to get with them.  Axl's in his 40's this is childish.  Im sorry if youre a fan of burlesque and stuff like that, but there are many opportunities to go to burlesque shows, im already having to work ahead in law school to take 2 days off to go see GNR, i get to go see abotu 1 concert a month now, and i was hoping theyd pick up a good rock band,  this is a joke.

Take a deeeep breath, count to ten......

BOOOBIES!!!!

The Suicide Girls are not a "nudie" show.  They are a "burlesque" show: comic theatre with a little bit of skin thrown in.

My friend, who is a big fan of the Suicide Girls, tried to drag me out to see them at a small club in Baltimore on October 24th, but I was not up for going out that night.

He told me that they did get naked that night (more specifically, that they all had pasties on, but that some of them took their panties off).

This was at a <repeat> SMALL CLUB -- with at least an 18-and-over, if not a 21-and-over, check-ID's-at-the-door policy.

Because the GNR shows have been sold as "all-ages" shows, I'm sure the Suicide Girls will keep their panties (and pasties) on.  To do otherwise would be unfair to anyone under 18 who has already purchased tickets, as well as cause a big stink for GNR, TicketMaster, and the individual venues.

While I understand that some people would rather see another band instead of this type of act, I for one am pretty excited about it.  I paid my $75 (well, actually, $92.90, thanks to TicketBastard) to see GNR.  To me, anything else is a bonus.

I've seen bands that look and sound like Papa Roach already.  I've also been to strip clubs.  This is different.  I for one am happy I will be getting to see this, although I realize not everyone else is.  No matter who GNR chooses as an opening act, not everyone is going to like them.

BTW, my friend said to watch for the girl who does the act with the glow-in-the-dark hula hoops.  He says it is not to be missed.

what is this i still haven't got it? 

it doesn't seem to be a band - from what i notice 

[Cleopatra2U]

They're not a band...  They're performers...  My friend speaks highly of them, and while I have yet to see them myself, I'm looking forward to tonight in Baltimore.

I found a review at http://www.smh.com.au/news/arts-reviews/suicidegirls-live-burlesque-review/2006/04/05/1143916572954.html that sheds a little light on what exactly they do onstage.  Here's an excerpt:

... the show can be "sweet and candy-girly but also pretty in-your-face. Traditionally there's an opening band and then the girls take the stage. It's a very raucous, personality-driven set.

"The girls are covered in pasties and panties. Each girl picks out what musical number to showcase - they're a reflection of the girls' personalities. The numbers range from very modern music to that Marilyn Manson song where the chorus repeats, 'I don't like you, but I'm going to f--- you until someone better comes along' [User Friendly]."

doing this make's it more rock n' roll than before.. if you ask me, this is cool as hell!

anyone remember this slogan: SEX, drugs and Rock n' Roll?

well, the sex and the rock is served, so bring your own drug... or just skip the drugs and enjoy the girls!

As long as this is not repeated it's cool

I dont want GNR to turn into some M?tley Cr?e copy.

[polluxlm]

Don't make it any less of a circus. If Axl hired a clown to be a part of the band, would that be okay?

Yes, along as it is a midget clown.

[ppbebe]

yep, as long as the clown can play his part.

pssst that is a bit misleading and may well put straight girls and guys with their girls off.   

I rather it is more like what Cleopatra2U described it as. an ultrafashionable "burlesque" show.
Have a great time, Cleopatra2U.

[polluxlm]

Haha, ok, whatever works for you

I don't know, but I guess there's a fair chance the band will be in them eventually
