As much as I love FNM when I saw them a Giants Stadium they were there just to kill time. They came out w/ no intro and actually told people to sit down they have a long night ahead of them..
Prior to that tour Axl had stated in interviews that the 1 band he was jelous of was FNM. After that tour Mike Patton dissed GN'R saying there good but not that good, referring to their entourage.
Soundgarden were excellant but I recall the MSG crowd being unresponsive.
Skid Row in 1991 and Sebastian Bach probably got the best responses I've seen for a GN'R opener.
Mettalica were co-headliners.
Bullet for My Valentine actually grew on me after the 2nd Hammerstein show I saw them at.
CKY/MMMike never did.
Although I wasn't at any festivals or Eurpean shows I checked out Towers of London and ended up buying and likeing the album.Not sure if you can count bands at festivals as opening acts though..

bullet -worst
body count -best


Mix Master Mike does not translate well in arenas. There is an echo, so you can't her the cut's and mixes clearly or see his hands while he's scratching. But if you ever get the chance to see him do a headlining turntable exhibition at a club, don't miss it, you will be blown away (even if you are not a DJ/hiphop/beasties fan). Theres a reason he's the most famous DJ of all time.

Faith no More Sucks.? A lot.? Of Dick.? and they like it.?

Foolish.? no

I'm confounded by the fact that someone can like the new GNR, which has featured very experimental artists such as Buckethead and BBF, yet thinks FNM sucks.?

Then again, it took me a while to get into FNM.? I never thought The Real Thing was all that great, but Angel Dust blew me away.

agreed. FNM is one of the best bands of the 90's by far. Mike Patton is one of Rock's best singers... and Horrifically UNDERRATED!!

best: Soundgarden and FNM

worst: Papa Roach!!!!!!!!!! GAWD... the memories still haunt me!!!!!!!!!! nervous

Angel Dust remains an excellent album, in my opinion.  Unfortuantely, during the Illusions tour, I only hear FNM from the parking lot...they finished up by the time I got inside.

That said, Skid Row was the best opening act I personally saw w/ GnR.   I'd have to say MixMaster Mike and Bullet for My Valentine were the poorest choices...

best:

Baz
Faith No More - i feel that they are one of the greatest bands ever, its a shame that they are very underated by a majority of people.
Modern Day Zero - i thought these guys were really impressive, although i find it funny that when i went to see VR in 2004 they opened for them, and then i go and see GNR last year and they opened for them.

Worse:

Pigions of Shit metal.
