guns n' roses + evanescence tour?

[GNRSANDMAN]

It's a bit odd when it comes to Guns N' Roses and who opens for them.? There's been several festival appearances when GNR headlined where it could be argued that some who played before are more relevant right now.? The biggest that comes to mind is the Inland Invasion Festival, where the Muse openned for Guns.? Most Brits on this board probably already know that the Muse have sold out the new Wembley Stadium (corrrect me if I'm wrong, but didn't they sell out two nights?).? Something tells me that GNR would be hard pressed to fill a stadium at this point.? The other big band that openned for GNR was Weezer back in 2002.?

Evanescence are by far the more relevant band when compared to Guns, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they wouldn't open for them.? I think a lot has to do with where each artist sees themselves in relation to other artists.? Most bands that have come on to the seen in the last 5-10 years probably revere someone like Axl or a band like Guns N' Roses, hence they don't mind getting second billing.? There's probably only one band on the planet right now that demands headlining status and that's the Rolling Stones (remember GNR was to open for them this past summer in Europe).? Then you have your AC/DCs, Metallica, U2, and maybe Radiohead that would require top billing.? If Chinese Democracy was released and was successfully received, I'd put GNR in that group as well.?

Basically, even though Evanescence might be more popular and relevant, since they haven't been around long enough and achieved legendary status, they'd still probably have to go on before GNR if the two were to play at the same event.

Cheers,

I just checked gnrontour, (which hasn't been updated in awhile...) and it says that Tool opened, or at least appeared before GnR at Rock AM Ring and NovaRock.

people stop jumping into fake conclusions


evanescense is playing in river plate, because is confirmed to be playing at quilmes rock festival, probably the same day as keane, and another argentinian big band, so thats why they are playing in such a big stadium

[2007what!]

please god make it stop

hahaha my thoughts excactly

Evanescence right now is more popular than GNR sorry, they wont open for them.  Bands that have released a cd that has gone multiplatinum, within a year of that cd do not go and open for bands that have had mediocre concert sales and have not released a new album since 91.  Sorry, but it wont happen.  It sucks, but GnR is popular in the rock world but Evanescence is insanely popular across the board and they have an album near the top of the charts right now.

yes, Gn'R should open for evanescence.
c'mon... I think Amy Lee would like to open a show to for Gn'R, and I wanted to watch both shows. I like evanescence a lot, really, and I love Guns. So seeing both live would be fucking cool. At least for me.

[HoldenCaulfield]

Just for note, I'm not sure if Amy Lee is much of a GNR/Axl fan. I remember her doing an interview(s) and she said the "Velvet Revolver was the real GNR". But so did Kid Rock and I saw him sing Nightrain with Axl. Who knows...
