Subtle Signs Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It's not really AIC but still a better opener than I was expecting. There's no way they can be the opener for the stadium tour as they aren't enough of a draw to help GNR with ticket sales in such a large setting.

xBrownstonex Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Yeeeeessssssssss. thats the excact opener i was hoping for. Fuck yes!!! Edited March 2, 2016 by xBrownstonex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realpoti Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm pretty sure Duff's got a hand in this. He and Jerry are good friends. Amazing opener, btw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) What Alice In Chains? there is no AIC. Jerry and his band is great old fashioned sludge though. Great news and sorry to be the cunt that points out there is no AIC without Layne and he's gone. That's like Pantera without Dime. I like their new lead singer, not much in the lyrics department but he's cool and fits and with Jerry's lyrics they recorded BGWTB. New album was uninspired with only a few cool moments. But this band is a great match for an opener for Guns. Hopefully they won't look pathetic going after Jerry's Chains cause if Axl comes up fat and confused it won't be pretty but let's hope for the best.

I think most older fans know this isn't really AIC but as I said earlier the Jerry Cantrell band wouldn't get such high profile gigs. It will probably be an hour of hit after hit.

AIC probably gets til 10:30, then Guns will probably play 11-2ish. Gonna be some late nights.... Edited March 2, 2016 by Original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philipm787 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 AIC on at 9? Guns on at 11 or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I was thinking Duff might pull rank and put The Pink Slips on the bill. I will say that even if this is the Faux AIC,you won't get too many fans complaining about the opener. I think it'll just be an hour of straight hits and even the casual fans will know more songs than they think they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ88 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Thats a great band to have as an opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 If AIC go on right at 930 and are off by 1030,I'd say there will be about an hour to get the stage ready for Guns so they should be on right around 1130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Awesome!!! Love Alice in chains, especially the new stuff. They may be without mike starr and layne but they were replaced well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
