Possible opening bands

[Virolec]

Ah, I hadn't heard about that.  Still, totally stoked if they are getting back together themselves.

Wishful thinking or something in the air?

I think they are basically saying stop talking about Guns N Roses/Coachella and pay attention to the fact that we are touring across Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

I'm sure you were scanning twitter for Guns N Roses references... so their tweet worked, their tour is now being talked about.

Edit: I see you are from Norway so more likely you are following them on twitter.

Well, I don't scan twitter,  I come here to check the news instead. Love BB so I follow them.

I was thinking more of "before the summer", hinting to something possibly happening this summer. And as someone pointed out, BB don't do America very often, so Babies n Guns together in Europe?

You apparently missed my Edit which said I'm sure you are following them.

As far as 'Touring Europe' I don't see them jumping on the BB Tour of 18 shows in a little over a month in places that hold about 1500-2000 people. So I'm assuming you are saying GnR would go on the road in May-June/early July in Europe?

Did you read that bolded part? Of course he's not talking about Backyard's spring dates.

Love some early 2000s Hellacopters work. Still hear all the time songs like No Song Unheard, Throw Away Heroes and Toys and Flavors. Think they would be an awesome open act for GNR for sure.

Jarmo posted some bands.. Just would like to mention how QOTSA would be perfect, but they would never agree. And Yeah Yeah Yeahs is awesome but the crowd wouldnt get it at all.

That's exactly right. Many bands have been mentioned because people like them, but it's not necessarily dealing in reality.
Must find a band that "needs" to land a gig like this, has respect for Gn'r legacy and unfortunately, doesn't have any bad blood or vibes regarding Axl

[Ja5oN]

Monster Truck and Skid Row!

Both have done excellent jobs in the past.  If GNR can Get back together, there might be hope for Skid Row.  And Monster Truck is hell of a good time!

Yeah, most of the bands aren't exactly party rock.

Another one I forgot to add is Monster Magnet.

They don't need some new little stupid band to open for them.

They need someone noteworthy and more rock than that... damn

[eyemojo]

Social Distortion

[GnR-NOW]

Royal Blood

[rebelhipi]

Just throwing out bands I like for the hell of it. Not saying they're even remotely possible. Some are on hiatus, others might not even exist at present. 

The Afghan Whigs
Arctic Monkeys
The Black Keys
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Burning Brides
Grinderman
The Gutter Twins
Jack White
Manic Street Preachers
Marilyn Manson
Mark Lanegan Band
The Prodigy
Queens Of The Stone Age
Rival Sons
Sex Pistols
Soundgarden
The Stooges
The Twilight Singers
Yeah Yeah Yeahs




/jarmo

I discovered some good stuff from your list, Never heard of the Afghan Whigs or Yeah yeah yeahs, great tracks.

[WAR41]

I say screw rock, let's just go totally metal and get Slayer (new album is sick) and God's Hate (new hardcore band that are out of control) on the bill.  Let's see some death before GNR even hits the stage! 

[nick6sic6]

Has anyone been confirmed to open the Vegas concerts ?
I hope not Sebastian Bach again.Being that big of a deal this regrouping is,the support act/acts must be at the same size.
I'd like to see Alice in Chains among other bands. Volbeat as well.

[johnreed3344]

my guess is no opening acts or just a no name band.....the Vegas shows should just be about Guns and no one else.....as for stadium they need a solid act

[Thorned Rose]

I don't want some stupid dumb band opening for them.

Just a known under the radar band. For the stadiums that is.

They don't need anyone to open for the arena stuff.

Bush is perfect. I'm telling you. THey are going out on the road this summer. It makes perfect sense.

[Guitar1281]

I think Green Day would be a good choice if you feel the need to "diversify" to help fill a stadium.

I would also really like to see Queens of the Stone age as other posters have mentioned numerous times.

I liked the Black Crowes suggestion however they are broken up.

[sofine11]

Is Vegas going to have an opening band? 

[Bodhi]

I think Green Day would be a good choice if you feel the need to "diversify" to help fill a stadium.

Green Day is too big to be an opening band for a whole tour.  If they do different bands in each city I could see a band as big as Green Day doing a one off, like how Metallica opened for the Stones that one night a few years back.  I think having different acts in each city would be awesome.

[gnrrock]

Avenged Sevenfold or Alice Cooper would be cool. I agree with Jarmo in regards to Jack White. Jack White's band, "The Dead Weather" would be cool too.

[JAEBALL]

The fact that the ticket says 930 on them... leads me to believe there is no plans for an opening band in vegas.
