RussTCB Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Still nothing listed for Detroit with the concert getting very close now. I'm guessing that I'll end up skipping whomever it is. If it were a big enough name, it probably would've been announced by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrw80 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 How has this not been announced yet? I'm going to the Philadelphia show in two and a half weeks. Maybe there won't be an opener of any note? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they bump up the start time of the show? Maybe it will be an "evening with" Guns N' Roses and they are planning on planning on switching things up a bit? How about a full set.. Intermission and then bust out the whole Appetite Album for the encore and it's 30th anniversary? With Steven and Izzy even!! hahah.. That was a stretch but the beginning of it may be possible..

I got a Ticketmaster e-mail yesterday saying there are tix available for the Chicago show and it had the bloody bullet logo with ZZ Top under, but it looked like they just copy and pasted part of the Texas advertisement. ZZ Top are playing the southeast in early November so that's not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine they'd have openers for some of the arena dates and not others. On August 16 Stryker posted in the NYC 10/15/17 thread that "According to an email sent out by Ticketmaster, ZZ Top will open all three MSG shows." But given that ZZ Top is still selling tickets for their 10/15/17 show in Baltimore, that seems unlikely. I asked him to post a copy of that email (though he didn't specifically say he received the email) but... nothing. Axl_morris then posted later in that thread that "ZZ are down to support 12th & 16th," whatever that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Figured I'd give an update on the only concrete evidence we have of an opener so far. Not sure if anyone remotely cares, but this is big for me because it could mean the crossover of my two favorite bands of all time. Okay so my only evidence that AWOLNATION is going to be opening the first part of this tour is all over the place, so stay with me. AWOLNATION currently has 2 members of another band named Irontom touring with them, Zack and Dan. Irontom are about to be on the road opening for this fairly small band Arkells. That tour starts on October 4th and goes to October 7th. On October 7th, both bands play San Francisco, then the tour drops off for another month. Both Irontom and Arkells don't tour again till November 2nd in Detroit.... That's almost a full month. Odd right? On October 8th, one day after Irontoms members come off tour is the day GNR start their tour in Philly. When Irontom and Arkells do in fact go back on tour, its November 2nd in Detroit, the same night GNR play Detroit.... Zack (AWOL/Irontom Guitarist) has been known to fly around the US to catch both Irontom and AWOLNATION shows within the span of 24 hours, so I don't see it being a problem getting from Cali to Philly in 24 hours. Theres also the fact that AWOL were supposed to open for GNR in South America.... But as we all know, could be something, could be nothing. #ididthemath #CSImygnr Edited September 21, 2017 by KeyserSoze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hardcore Superstar is the best pure hard rock band out there right now. Would be cool to see GnR take them on a few dates and let them get some American exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papashaun Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 You notice on a lot of shows, that opening acts are pulled regionally.....I figured at the Louisville show in November, you would see Cage the Elephant as the opener, since their home town is just about 1 hour away.

Hollywood Gunner Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 they probably just havnt been announced yet because theyre shit bands and wont sell any extra tickets. if they announce a shit band, people wont show up early and buy beer. if they announce nothing then people might take a chance hoping for something good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) ZZ Top and L.A. Guns would be great as opening acts for the upcoming US dates Edited September 27, 2017 by Sosso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are playing a shortened setlist anyway. Wouldn't make much sense when the opening act plays a longer show than the main act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpantazo Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) So, I can't seem to find a list of the openers for the upcoming NA shows. Does anyone know who is opening for the upcoming Boston show later this month, and the NY shows? Edited October 1, 2017 by hpantazo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
