rickjkd1977 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Wasn't really the opening act I was hoping for but, I never thought I would be seeing GNR. This time last year I would have thought the idea of seeing Slash, Duff, and Axl on stage together was next to impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'd go to Nashville just to see Stapleton as an opener. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Another band who would've been an awesome opener is Tesla. We saw them in Vegas 4/9 on the first show of their current tour, and they were awesome. Too bad they're signed on for the summer to the douchingest tour possible- with REO and Leppard. Tesla was all out no bullshit rock n roll, have a million tunes everyone knows, and certainly would've fit in better with the GnR crowd than the dogshit they're (Tesla) stuck touring with now. REO and Lep should open for them imo... Also, AIC was much more well received in KC than Vegas, and it showed. They kicked ass.

BadApples87 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Tyler Bryant was so Lame opening for AC/DC. I am glad they were not added for the West Coast shows. West Coast openers......anyone, anyone....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like this song of his I don't support musicians who don't write their own music. His latest solo album track listings read like something you'd see on a Bieber album. If you use studio owned song writers to co-write and/or write entire songs, albums and yes, in this guys case, even HITS... I don't want part of you because I considered it fraud. It's kind of like someone hiring a renowned painter to paint a painting for you, slapping your name on the bottom and selling it. It's totally deceptive, underhanded and shameful imo. I refuse to support that shit. Edited July 1, 2016 by Nintari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Wikipedia: He is an established song writer with six number one hits. me: He's been writing them for other people for a while. He's only recently been given the chance to sing them on his own by the Nashville establishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitha beat me to it, but the guy wrote enough #1 hits (and for other people!!!) on his own, the guy is the opposite of a fraud..

BadApples87 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Dave Sabo and Rachel Bolan are allergic to money. So maybe Baz is a pain in the ass, but he is a great singer. Skid Row is nothing without him. Still no word on the West Coast shows. Edited July 6, 2016 by BadApples87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFD5 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 The dream opener for me would have been Skid Row reunited with Baz but out of all the openers announced The Cult supporting Guns will make for a brilliant gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
