Skrillex is the one that's left me scratching my head. Has anyone stopped to consider the average age at a GN'R show before booking him? It's just bizarre. Bizzare is the word that has summed up this band the last 16 years... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadApples87 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 They haven't said anything for Seattle yet, so I am cool. But if they dump some crap like that skrillex, billy talent, country junk on us instead of something awesome like the Cult or AIC, I will be pissed. Actually I will be taking a piss in the bathroom while they play. Options for Seattle that will be acceptable: Seattle bands like Soundgarden or Alice In Chains. Or, a band from New Jersey with their orig lead singer name Bach would be great too. That is what needs to go down on the West Coast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeKat Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Very relieved to read that Skrillex will be in Serbia July 14th, so the odds of him NOT opening in Pittsburgh on the 12th are good. Whew. Chris Stapleton has an open window, however. Fingers crossed it's him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud10 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I don't really know what Skrillex does but from what I've heard of his released songs the GNR fans aren't gonna go for it. Especially if the band comes on late and he has to extend the set. Didn't Axl have DJs open in 2002 that were booed of the stage? Maybe he caters his live set towards whatever audience. Anyways, Cult, AIC, Kravitz and Chris Stapleton are all awesome openers. Stapleton is considered country but he's more blues. Amazing voice.

GoBucky Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Was hoping for the Cult in Cincy...I certainly hope the LA openers are better than this group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickjkd1977 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 It's sad that I keep checking every 5 minutes to see if the opener for the Cincy show is announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Billy Talent over Country music opening for Guns? I'll take that any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I'm gonna laugh if everyone going in expects Skrillex to do a set of dub music and he comes out and does shit like this: Anyway... I'm curious about Seattle. I was hoping they'd get AIC again, but as long as they get someone of the caliber of AIC or Lenny Kravitz and not Billy Talent, it's all good.

sanity_lost Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 There is not a single act that can open for Guns that will get approval from all the fans. We are very contrary bunch with a wide range of tastes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaddisonmoore Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Saw Chris Stapleton at Bonnaroo last weekend. Really good show. Much more blues southern rock than what you think of when you hear country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Guetta and some other EDM shit djs really just go everywhere and press play on the same premade mix of 90 minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I'm really not into country, but Chris Stapleton is pretty good. I'm happy he's opening in Nashville. His hometown too. It's gotta be a pretty big deal for him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman007 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I am going to both Dallas and Houston. I was having trouble finding someone to go with to the Houston show . And then Skrillex was announced . Mind you , never heard of the person. My cousin called and is in because of him. He likes Guns, but now wants to go because of Skrillex. I had a friend try to convice me today if he can go because of Skrillex . We might not like or agree as forum members, but looks like the plan to fill more seats is going to work.
