So are these guys considered hard rock these days? (I know nothing about them yet.) I'm damn glad we got Alice Cooper at the Crue show I went to though!

Give the album a listen, the Late Night Clip doesn't have best sound quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironicninja Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I've heard good things about The Struts from a variety of people so I'll go with an open mind. But just knowing that other cities got Alice in Chains, or Lenny Kravitz..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Struts are a better band at the moment than either of those acts....in my opinion, maybe the second best openers on the tour after Chris Stapleton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadApples87 Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) If Layne Staley were still around, none of these bands come close to Alice In Chains, except GNR. Layne is gone, but Duvall fills in admirably. Lenny and the Cult are great also. The rest of these artists should open for AIC, Lenny, and/or the Cult. Not saying the other artists stink (except Skrillex which does stink), but not on same level. Edited August 5, 2016 by BadApples87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 The Struts seem like the kind of band that would be infinitely better live. I like 1 or 2 of their songs, they kind of remind me a little of The Darkness (who are also awesome live by the way), I kinda wish they were opening in Seattle. I like AIC and saw them once before the Vegas shows, but they weren't nearly as good an opener as they were when I saw them headlining so I'm kinda just neutral on them as an opener this time around.

darkknite63 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Would anyone here like Megadeth/Metallica to open for GN'R? I think they're different style but we've had country and EDM(skrillex), so why not thrash metal. They should've had megadeth or metallica open in the bay area for them.

Metallica's not opening for anybody, these days, especially in San Francisco. The last time they played a headlining set in San Francisco, they played in AT&T Park, this year, the same venue that GNR is doing their show in, and it was well attended. Megadeth on the other hand. Yeah, sure. GNR could have made a play to get them as an opener, but I don't know if Dave Mustaine's ego would handle that.

Chris Stapleton was the best one yet, followed by The Struts. They are truly amazing and I think they fit better as an GnR than AiC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just youtubed them and their lead singer looks absolutely crazy, he's like a Jagger/Mercury love child lol. If their music was to get a little bit heavier and edgier, I'd like them a lot. Ive just seen that they literally live around the corner from me! Shows how old and out of touch with the music scene I am!!

This acoustic version of their single is perfection: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
