Which band would or could open for this tour ???

[big_machine]

 i`d love to see the killers !!!!

i hate DANKO JONES

[Loaded NightraiN]

Soul Asylum?

[gnrjanus]

for Holland I would say

INCISION

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xDYNgArT7k

a good upcoming rock n roll band over there!
they are beginning to play big places right now so they could fill the bill perhaps

[bigcash2002]

Soul Asylum
Evanescense (sp?)
Slaughter

[Sillything]

Danko Jones

[MC13]

Rise Against?
Anthrax?
Mastodon?

Any of the above would be good with me ...

[sofine11]

Avenged Sevenfold would be ideal.

[rebelhipi]

graveyard

[Bodhi]

Avenged Sevenfold would be ideal.

that would be the best show of my life as they are 2 of my top 3 bands of all time.  Avenged is a headliner now though, they have been filling arenas on their own, I can't really see them opening up for anyone anytime soon.  Although if there was a band they would probably make an exception for it would be Guns N Roses, as they are all HUGE fans, especially their singer M. Shadows.  From interviews with him,  I get the impression that he is a fan on the level of people here on the board, not just an average fan.  I'll tell you one thing, there would not be an empty seat in any arena in any market if GNR and A7X joined forces.

Exactly.  Would kind of be reminiscent of the Aerosmith & Guns N' Roses bill in 1988, as A7X cites GNR as one of their main influences.  Would PACK arenas too. 

Bas is cool, but his inclusion wouldn't really help fill arenas.  Plus the states got that bill already during the last tour.  If not A7X, a similar, more modern rock band would be cool.   I hear The Darkness are working on a new album. 

Edit: Just saw that Korn have an album out in November and have expressed interest in touring with GNR in the past, just sayin...

[westcoast_junkie]

i hate DANKO JONES

How the hell is that possible?? Danko Jones rocks

Let Michael Monroe warm up! He's the real deal

[bigcash2002]

Buck Cherry
LA Guns
Soundgarden (longer set than typical)

[axlrosegnr]

Bloodhound Gang. They'd be fun.

[sofine11]

Jane's Addiction would be dope...

[circusboy666]

Helmet/Faith No More/Blind Melon

[D]

Sebastian i hope. he has a new record coming out would help him out.

[russtcb]

Sebastian i hope. he has a new record coming out would help him out.

I was hoping for Baz along with maybe somebody like Buckcherry

[kyrie]

A7x is doing Uproar just saw them last night. Not really an option.

Soundgarden is too big at this point, they can draw 15,000 on their own. Also, Matt is on tour for the PJ20 tour so they'd probably be minus a drummer (maybe that tour will be over by then but still unlikely).

I'd love to see:

Deftones
Jane's Addiction
Faith No More
Megadeth (hell, GN'R toured with Metallica and Megadeth at least never sold out even if Mustaine is an ass)
Black Tide (but they're currently on Uproar as well... but more reasonable than A7x who are really too big to be "openers" at this point)

And I know I might be in a minority but I enjoyed the Suicide Girls 

[Is he struggling?]

I saw A7X open for Gn'R at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2006, so I can confirm that they were, and would be, an awesome combination! 

[LIGuns]

Sebastian Bach and Rival Sons!!!

[big_machine]

i remember back in 2001 .... rumors about TESTAMENT


i dont hate DANKO`S new song ....but the one the look like vampires , i really dont like it

[big_machine]

Smashing pumkins !!!!

[russtcb]

Smashing pumkins !!!!

I saw the Pumpkins open for GN'R once, it was so-so.

[sofine11]

Literally any of the said bands would sit well with me, other than Bas. 

[Verasa]

Would love to see an Oasis/GnR bill, but  I dont think it would/could happen anytime soon...

Black Crowes would be sweet..

[rmc110276]

neither the black crowes nor oasis are functioning groups at this point.

[Verasa]

I know Oasis is currently in a funk.

I thought The Black Crowers just did some shows this summer.

[rmc110276]

they've gone back on "hiatus." whatever that means. fuckin' stoners, y'know?




i'd prefer there not be an opener myself, but i'm sure they'll get some daddy-rock crap i don't care for.

[Montrealrocks]

I did a couple of post about it.  Here you go:

[dont_damn_me]

Maybe Beetie Eye...Oasis singer Liams new band, might be good timing, they got  a record coming out sometime soon i think.

Yeah, Chris and Rich are both touring separately as solo acts this fall into next year. But yeah, I'd be cool with no opener at all come to think of it.

[AxlReznor]

People who I'd like to see opening for GN'R and I think could be available...

Black Stone Cherry
Bobot Adrenaline (the singer's a friend of Tommy's)
Manic Street Preachers
Apocalyptica
Return To Earth (the singer's a friend of Ron's)
Smashing Pumpkins would be cool, but they're touring Europe at the time
Korn
Stone Sour
Avenged Sevenfold
Noel Gallagher
Jane's Addiction
Evanescence

[JDA]

Smashing Pumpkins would be cool, as well as Jane's, but I don't think they would do it.  How about Alice N' Chains?  I think that would be a great bill and I believe Axl and Jerry are friends.  I really want someone well known and exciting band as a opener this time around.  Get a big time band to open, so you can have no reason to miss any of the opening act.

if there has to be an opener, AIC would be great (even though i thought the last record sucked). or maybe the new york dolls? i saw someone mentioned graveyard...graveyard would be bad-ass.  but really, if given my druthers...no opener.

[LongGoneDay]

AIC still puts on a great show, considering what they've been through. I probably wouldn't pay to see them as headliners again, but would show up to see em open for Guns.
Same with the New York Dolls, but not sure they were meant to play stadiums.
I like the Pumpkins, but the new incarnation was far and away the worst live band I've ever seen.

[DeN]

Mastodon, without any kind of hesitation

[AxlReznor]

I like the Pumpkins, but the new incarnation was far and away the worst live band I've ever seen.

Which new incarnation? I saw the line-up that toured Zeitgeist play at Reading and really enjoyed it. Have just got tickets to the new new incarnation at Brixton Academy. I've really liked the Teargarden By Kaleidyscope stuff they've released so far, so I'm hoping they don't suck.

this isn't 1991, so that shouldn't be a problem.

It was a couple years ago. I admit I haven't kept up with them since, so not sure if lineup has changed.
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since I've only seen them the one time, maybe just an off night.

[RnT]

BLACK TIDE!!!!

[molinari]

I saw Mastodon this year at Sonisphere , they are too heavy  for Guns I guess. Didnt enjoy it anyway, Get Motorhead ! Wishful Thinking.

Danko was great imo. Primal Fear from germany is cool live too. Manowar, Sabaton ...

d'oh!  fuck yeah! motorhead!

[Eclipsed107]

I can't see Mastodon opening for Gn'R, but I would love to considering they're one of my favorite bands and pretty much the premier metal band going today.  They will be on tour through november and december however headlinging with dillinger escape plan opening up.

Bands I'd like to see open up for Gn'R.

Alice In Chains (would be a great fit)
Queens of the Stone Age (obviously would never do it but would be a fucking great show)
Avenged Sevenfold
Buckcherry
Deftones
Weezer
Godsmack
Rob Zombie
Incubus

Someone kind of relevant to today's music but who still rocks hard.

Please no more Bach.  It'd be nice of Gn'R could tour with someone that anyone under the age of 35 has heard of.  I'm sure the openers will be weak as they've been ever since Gn'R's return though...

[D]

NOw i finally get to see GNR, its gotta be Bach cause i wanna see him also.

[HBK]

I Believe... BACH

[rmc110276]

i like sebastian. 

but i don't want gnr to be thought of as a nostalgia act (even thought they're gonna be), and if they take the lead singer for skid row out on tour...again...for the third straight fucking decade...well, they may as well take poison.  at least they'll sell a few tickets.  (i mean to the general public, not us weirdos who want them to play "breakdown" or the fucking manson cover.)

besides, if it happens again, doesn't it make bas the washington generals to axl's globetrotters?  he'd be like axl's sammy shore; he may as well join the show permanently.

it's gotta be somebody who's at least relevant.

once again, i really like sebastian. i think he's great.




have i said i don't think there should be an opener?

[Scabbie]

Rival Sons
St Jude

[Jeramy]

steel panther 

[norway]

Sebastian is making great new music. Plus most opening bands suck anyway, So I'd much rather see someone thats guaranteed to be awesome than some band I never heard of that makes my ears bleed.

[FunkyMonkey]

Alice In Chains would be great.  Of course Sebastian, what about Stone Temple Pilots.

[gnr-4-ever]

I don't know why you people don't like Danko Jones, dude rocked when I saw him live. We had two opening acts on the show I went and most of the people I talked to said Danko owned the other one (Wasted Generation, up and coming rock band from Croatia).

[big_machine]

PLASE NO MORE BAZ !!  ID LOVE BAZ .... OK

but baz is too 80's  and GUNS IS ALWAYS ON TO NEW STUFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GUNS N ROSES IS PURE innovation !!!!! always

[big_machine]

Baz new stuff sounds like velvet  !!

Guns n roses new stuff sounds like SOMETHING COMPLETLY NEW AND FRESH !!! simple as that

[big_machine]

baz fits motley crue !!!!

the killers or maybe mastodont ...or smashing fits GUNS N ROSES

[GNR4L]

Would love to see The Killers open.

[Nytunz]

Janes Addiction would be awesome! 

[DeN]

Wolfmother

[Dead N' Bloated]

I think a band that deserves a spot like this and will also pump the crowd right up is Blacktide and possibly Airbourne!

[One.In.A.Million]

This is a hard one really because there arn't any standout bands who would be perfect for the slot. But I think bands like AX7 and Sebastian Bach would be great. And when GN'R come to the UK/Europe again, I would love to see The Darkness as an opening act. 

[russtcb]

Janes Addiction would be awesome! 

Seconded. Now there's some guys who LOVE music and they could win over a GN'R crowd while warming them up at the same time!

 ZOE from Mexico !
