I can see that happening with Iha, not D'Arcy, tho. She's too fucked up and long gone head-wise. She's basically the Adler of that band. 29 minutes ago, buzzsaw said: I saw them open for gnr once and that was enough. They were awful. Saw who open for gnr once?

NineInchGun Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 A stadium crowd is tricky. Need enough radio hits and clean vocals to entertain the people drinking $20 beers If they're willing to pay: Smashing Pumpkins Marilyn Manson Soundgarden If they're going cheap, might be a washed up 90s band: Collective Soul Bush In between: Lenny Kravitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was a sound issue or maybe I was too close to the stage, but it was bad. Edited April 5, 2016 by buzzsaw Had to be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD62 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) I would like to see Shinedown play in Orlando with GnR. It's their home state and I haven't seen them for 5-6 years. Edited April 5, 2016 by BigD62 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Wolfmother would be the perfect opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRfan2008 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The Pumpkins would be a good choice. Corgan has praised Axl quite a bit through the years, so he's definitely not on the enemy list. They have a lot of great songs that the general public and GN'R fans would recognize, plus they fit very nicely in the early to mid 90's nostalgia of UYI Tour Part 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Zombie Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) SD was the only album Billy recorded himself. Most of the other albums were the band. Even when the Pumpkins got back together Billy and Jimmy did all the studio stuff up to oceania. Honestly if James came back I could see the Pumpkins open but it would make more sense for Soundgarden to open. The pumpkins are just boring lately.

AFD5 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 It's a shame Skid Row & Baz couldn't fix things they'd have been perfect for opening for GNR they were brilliant at Wembley Stadium in 1991 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Zombie Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Can you imagine Soundgarden doing Jesus Christ Pose and Slaves and Bulldozers just like 1992 again. Oh I can dream right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBucky Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Can there really be a big name opener with these shows starting at 8:30? Don't most of these outdoor venues have curfews? I know Soldier Field is 11:30 or midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunder120 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Smashing Pumpkins would be ridiculous for me, but in all fairness, Billy's voice live is kind of brutal. As for Collective Soul, I've seen them 7 times, they are fantastic live and put on a great show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'll work those things out ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of both and while both of them are still making music the key difference is that Manson's shtick wore thin years ago while Bush continues on without the need for shock rock gimmicks. Again, I say this as a fan of both bands but I couldn't see Manson opening for GNR as well as I could see Bush, I think most casual GNR fans would prefer Bush over Manson considering the two different styles between them.
