Guns N' Roses to Reunite for Coachella, Possible stadium tour (Billboard)

[raindog]

If they played stadiums there'd be at least 2 support slots. Probably 3. And no offense to Baz but I don't see reunited Skid Row being a big enough draw to be anything other than bottom of that bill.

Completely agree on all points.  I happen to still rock out to 'Monkey Business' and 'Sweet Little Sister', but am under no delusions how much of a minority that puts me in.

They would need something of a name for a stadium gig.  I agree.

Maybe AFI? Panic at the Disco? My Chemical Romance? Muse? Disturbed? Avenged Sevenfold? Paramore? Or, you know...Alter Bridge.   I think any of those (and there's probably a ton more) that could take the "2nd" slot.

Hahahaha

Alter Bridge

Those are all great choices, I think a band like Avenged or Paramore would bring a fair amount of their own fans with them.  A stadium show would require a bigger opening act and those bands are definitely good choices.  Also he is definitely too big to be an opener, but Jack White is a huge GNR fan.  I could see him doing it as a "very special guest" not an "opener."  If he did it there wouldn't be an empty seat in any of these stadiums, not that I anticipate many empty seats.  This is the biggest rock band of our lifetime here.

I mean..I couldn't resist.

Towards the end of their stadium days, the Stones were doing different people in different cities.  Big names too.

Was that always your sig?  That's awesome.  One of the favorite movies of my youth.

I still post 'Somebody's Getting Married' on the FB feed of any friend that gets hitched.

Nope, I just changed it, today...in honor of a previous post, and 'cause it's sort of fitting, if things play out.

Prior to that, it was the "Shut up and sing" stanza from Sorry...and had been since a few days before CD's release.

A reformed My Chemical Romance would be interesting. I went to see them a few years back and it was full of kids. Paramore were good live, the last concert I saw though was awful, and again it was full of kids

Muse would be a good choice.

Okay, so, still focusing on all the positives with GnR, although a Bach-fronted Skid Row to open would have been pretty amazing.

A GNR reunion was probably the least likely one in the history of music.

There's hope for everyone now...

The Coachella news is really catching fire. I saw a short report about it on my local cbs 11 news.

Anyone know how many festival passes are usually released in January?

I think most of them were sold in the summer.
