God-damn. That's amazing. If I'd known that I would have gotten tickets. Great band.
Seeing GNR for the first time in 20 plus years with Slash and Duff wasn't enough incentive?
Ha! Yeah, you an literally see Alice in Chains anytime, they play all the time. Not sure how that is the thing that puts this gig over the edge.
That said, I am very excited to see Alice in Chains! Really cool choice for an opener.

Semantics: The Motion Picture
- Starring GypsySoul. Coming soon to a theater near you!
And what D-GenerationX posted wasn't semantics about what constitutes being a GNR fan?
I...can't believe I'm chiming in on this, but....Let's say you love Band A, but you also love Band B. If Band A announces a show, and you are excited, and later announces Band B is opening said show, and makes you even MORE excited, and heck maybe you'll buy a ticket now, does that make you a shitty fan of Band A? Because, you know, it kind of sounds like you're saying it does.

Now back to the regular whining about my posts courtesy of Mr Right and his high opinion of himself.
Just glad you are still among the living, soldier. You've sure been MIA lately for whatever reason, though theories do abound.
Been pretty harmonious in your absence though, I must say. The return of this sort of conversational focus coinciding with your return, just one of those things, I suppose.
Life is full of happy accidents, really.

Nobody was saying that.
Only some of you are desperate for an argument so you claim we are saying that.
It was only pointed out how this is the first time in over 20 years that band A will have three of the most well known members on stage together and how this is a fan site for band A, so it's somewhat safe to assume that you'd be a hardcore band A fan on a band A fan site and that the event itself would make any fan of band A want to buy a ticket.

Let's see if they are better than reality!
Edited to add: The fact that you claim there are theories about why I posted less for the last few weeks is either creepy or a compliment. Not sure which at this point though...

Now who's talking semantics. We're not discussing just any Band A and Band B shows.
We're talking about the opening act for Guns N' Roses shows that Slash and Duff have officially rejoined after over 20 years!

More so in your town though, I'd think. In that scenario, I could see the argument the opening band would matter very little to not at all.
But plane tickets to and fro, hotel accomodations, and the general expense of a few days in Vegas adds up. I could see needing some extra incentive to rationalize that.
All the more so if you are under the impression that they WILL be coming to your town this summer. Or, at least, closer to your town than Nevada.

Hey, I've got news for you, pal. Mine is nowhere near as nefarious and conspiratorial as the ones run by me here, there and everywhere.
I just figured you had shit to do.

It all depends.
If you're a really really hardcore fan who's spent your money on travels to see GN'R in the last 15 years or so, I'm sure you don't need to know the opening act to make those plans again.
And if you didn't go see GN'R between 1993 and today because certain people left the band, do you need to know the opening band?
Just saying, it's all relative.
Now, let's say GN'R is one of your favorite bands.... And/or you don't really travel to see them and so on.
Then it all gets a bit different.

With whom and why would you be discussing Jarmo's whereabouts outside this board?
On topic: Congrats to AiC for scoring these gigs!

Whenever I am making one of these arguments, I always tell the person to imagine it as their favorite thing, and be fair.
Basically, the closing argument in 'A Time To Kill'.

AIC doesn't have much live shows lined up. Maybe we're looking at a longer stint with GN'R this summer.

I'll have a word for you. See if we can get the opening band changed.

Yeah I was thinking about that today actually. They really seem to be a perfect support act for a stadium tour. A very well known band with songs lots of people love, but definitely not an arena level band on their own anymore, although they are close. They can still play decent size venues and be high on the bill for festivals which is a very hard thing for a band that has been around for so long to do.
