The wank support makes it look like they don't give a flying fuck about London. Killing Joke, Backyard Babies, Mark Lanegan, Michael Monroe all would've been great, even the fucking Darkness would've done and they're shite! What happened to The Cult rumour? Horrific that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The Darkness is awesome But seriously, who ever cares that much about an opener? If the act is good to great then thats a great bonus. If not, who cares? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cult "rumour" came from an interview from last year where The cult's guitarist said that they'd open for GN'R outside of the states, which they did, in Mexico. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorderlineCrazy Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Mike Monroe in Finland is awesome. I'm happy for @Lumikki and everyone else going to that show! I don't forget the stupid comment his guitarist Rich Jones made about Axl when the reunion was about to be announced, though. Backyard Babies rock too, those going to the Sweden show are gonna have a blast! Sorry about those who are getting shitty openers. Believe me, it can't be much worse than the awful local band that opened in Argentina Edited April 4, 2017 by BorderlineCrazy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkenchantress Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'm happy with Lanegan but I also think he is not the best for a stadium show. He fits better in small clubs and the "general public" aka those that only care about Axl and Slash, won't even know who he is. I wish he invited Izzy so they could sing Strange Religion together and troll everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, am I the only one here who knows "I believe in a thing called love" of The Darkness because of Guitar Hero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day we had Soundgarden, Faith no more, Suicidal Tendencies, The Cult, Soul Asylum, Blind Melon, Brian May... as support. Why have crap support, when you also can have great support? Especially when you have two of them. If they can't manage to get great support bands, that make sense, they really shouldn't bother at all and just have none. But all the bands, who seem to have great support bands are lacking these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Darkness will add approximately zero ticket sales to that. Now I can't see GNR ponying up for a mid level band (A7X) that will actually move a few tickets so I'm thinking it'll be smaller bands that Slash,Duff and Axl are into. Same thing happened last year though, I'm sure as the shows get closer they'll drop ticket prices and the shows will sell fine regardless of the opener. I don't care about A7X but Gojira's last show with Metallica is in Edmonton a few days before GNR start their run of Canada shows, and Slash is a fan... that would be epic. edit: @iiii]; )' Edited April 5, 2017 by Gordon Comstock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanboy Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I want Lexy Panterra as opener and as dancer during the whole show, gonna ask Axl/Slash/Duff on twitter to be sure they got the msg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why ignore that at that point Axl has sucked for 4 years consistently including doing some of his worst perfomances of his lifetime, only Vegas was somewhat "ok" in 2014 but he still looked like shit and had the the disguise and the handlebar, looked nothing like he used to and sang clean a lot. Of course Axl completely changed for the first reunion shows but this was DECEMBER 2015. Anybody who had been following the shows since 2011 knows how Axl sounded and looked. That statement was spot on and anyone who thought otherwise that Axl sounded great and looked great..get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparka Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Man... Royal Blood, Biffy Clyro, Michael Monroe, Wolfmother etc. elsewhere (not to mention the NA tour supports!) and London gets Tyler Bryant and the something-or-others and The Kills...

Putting Axl down before the reunion even started was completely unnecessary but I can understand his concern regarding Axl's voice. Now, complaining about his look is the stupidest thing in the world. The guy is over 50, he's not meant to be a sex symbol anymore.... Anyone who decides not to go to a GNR show just because Axl isn't the most gorgeous man in the world anymore can stay at home and go fuck themselves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 In case anyone's interested, Michael Monroe just said in an interview that if GNR asks him to come on stage and jam with them, he won't say no, but there's been no talk about that yet. Oh man Ain't It Fun would be great, but even Bad Obsession with Mike on harmonica would be something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorderlineCrazy Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I totally imagine Michael joining GNR on stage and besides that, I'm hopefull Slash will join Michael and his band to play something like Magic Carpet Ride or We're All Gonna Die.

Fitha_whiskey Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 If they had Angry Anderson on stage, it's a safe bet MM will too. But yeah- only question is what song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Kravitz didn't join them last summer. Slash joined Wolfmother like once? Chances are slim no matter how awesome it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
