Or I guess Bootsy Collins. Considering he's good friends with Buckethead, I feel Bootsy Collin's would decline out of respect for Buckethead.

It's a billionnaire living his rock n roll dream by hiring the best players. Mendoza is one of the greatest bass players on the planet so I am partial to him, but I don't feel like there is much soul in this group, especially with the constant rotation of lineups. Their original singer was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a whole other thread about that tour and for those who attended the shows(I personally attended 2 of them )most would agree that Metallica was the "better "of the 2 acts live.And this is a Guns board.Following Metallica is a nearly impossible task for any band.First time I seen them live they opened for Ozzy ,I was a huge Sabbath /Ozzy fan and it was my first time seeing him live .Was completely blown away by Metallica ,they stole the show .Have never felt disappointed after seeing them live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to rag on them, glad you dig the album. I just like when a band builds with one solid lineup and all the comings and goings of players is a bit of a turnoff. Marco Mendoza is one of the greatest bass players ever so I'll see him any time he is in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickjkd1977 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Same here. Since Alice in Chains will be playing in Cincinnati on July 18th they are out I was hoping for Lenny Kravitz. I hope they announce something soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadApples87 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I find it impossible to believe that a band hasn't already been signed/contracted for those shows. This stuff has to be planned in advance. For some reason they are waiting almost to the last minute to make an announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember that. Definitely not happening though. At least if Van Halen opened Axl would sound like a God in contrast to David Lee Roth even if he sang the entire concert as Mickey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too sure about the GNR/Van Halen tour, I didn't keep up with the news during the nuGNR years. Too bad DLR sounds like shit now, the Jimmy Kimmel appearance was such a disappointment. Although, I'd love it if we get a surprise guest every show like one night Eddie van halen, next lars ulrich, then david lee roth, Izzy, Steven etc. it would be so cool, if they had a guest musician for every show, kind of like a tribute for rock/metal in general.

mikeman5150 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Yes, there was a rumor about a super tour in 2009 with GNR and VanHalen. Irving Azoff was who started it, hoping that Axl would reunite with slash to do it. Axl basically said fuck off and fired Azoff, which is who was managing GNR at the time.

Whenever I read things like this I kind of wonder if Axl would have got around to patching things up with Slash sooner if he didn't have so many people trying to pressure him into it.

Fitha_whiskey Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 My theory is they're waiting to see if the first few shows jump start sales again for the later dates. Maybe they're hoping to get some nobody for cheap if there's good buzz & sales kickstart again. If not, maybe they will shell out some more coin for someone that can help sell tickets...

PsychoKiss344 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Unless something is in the works like a Bach/Skid Row reunion Edit: Skid row is free for all GNR dates except Seattle, Sebastian Bach is free for all dates. I know it's a long shot but it would be fucking badass. Edited June 15, 2016 by PsychoKiss344 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
