Joeypeeps Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 How bout anybody BUT Skrillex, who I had to endure in Houston. Absolutely horrible. 1
J Dog Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 I wouldn't mind Wolfmother hanging around as an opener. I liked Chris Stapleton too, he was pretty cool as an opener.
DanielitoCZ Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 I would love to see AFI on some dates as they will be in Europe by the same time as GN'R. They even covered My Michelle a while ago. But it's more like my personal wish than real possibility as I don't think they would be a good fit neither are big enough anymore to open for reunited Guns.
Gordon Comstock Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Whoever it is, they definitely won't be as entertaining as Babymetal. I kinda wish they'd open the North American shows because even if the music doesn't fit, the show itself would be great With my luck though it'll be Alice In Chains. (Not that I dislike AIC but the 3 shows I saw them open this year were underwhelming). Edited December 6, 2016 by Gordon Comstock
jorgerr96 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Skrillex in Houston was indeed terrible, but at least he wasn't a stuck up brat like The Cult.
James Bond Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Anything but Billy Talent! Bring out Randy Marsh as Lorde and that'll be better. 2

Silent Jay Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 A Perfect Circle Soundgarden The Cult Eagles Of Deth Metal The Offspring Sixx AM Art Of Anarchy
StrangerInThisTown Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Steel Panther obvious choice for europe, theyre massively popular here aswell as in Australia
Pete Hugo Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Lenny Kravitz, Michael Monroe, Sebastian Bach, Dead Sara, Rival Sons, Shiraz Lane. Maybe these aren't the most probable openers, but I would be so stoked if any of these would open in Finland
st0n3r Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 It would be so amazing if TW Classic (Belgium) would add http://teamrock.com/news/2016-12-06/ritchie-blackmores-rainbow-to-tour-uk-in-2017 to the bill.
Drunk_on_Drugs Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 The Struts will be London, Santa Cruz will be Scandinavia, no idea for the rest of Europe. This is just following that they usually get support from bands that come from the city they're playing

They are still bigger than many of the bands GNR had opening last tour. I doubt it'll be AFI,they don't have to pay a big band to sell tickets .

I mean maybr Six AM (if the relationship hadn't soured), but let's face it 90% of the crowd don't carrcsbout sixx am or DJ ashba AND the music is Seether level shire. Art of anarchy, no. Mainly because the split with guns and Bumble trying to avoid talking about guns. Ufvhr tours with them those questions are gonna intensify. Any band offered the gig should jump at it though, especially lower level acts. I'd love if the darkness opened, or the winery dogs. Can't see either getting the nod from the band though. IMO it needs to be a heavy rock band, and not depressing slow rock/pop.
gunsguy Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 NOT Sixxam, that band is meh at best. I just watched a live show from them recently and thought wow they all look like a bunch of posers, Sixx included. And the singer is annoying to me, the songs all sound the same. I do like a couple of the tunes but no way 2

The Cosmic Ted Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) I really hope it's Michael Monroe and his band for Finland.. Michael is Slash's friend, they even played together in Finland in 2010 and 2015. He also knows Axl from the 90's. So I can't see why not! Edited December 6, 2016 by The Cosmic Ted 2
life_247 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Its a tough one because in Europe with that many dates they will sell them out (and headline Glasto), but live music in general is in rude health so a lot of the bands will make good money doing their own headline tours. So people like Alice Cooper, A7X would be playing arena shows on their own here so it doesn't make a lot of sense to play support shows - but Guns have the money in the kitty and there's plenty of acts who would do it. Also its the festival season in Europe so there will be lots and lots and lots of bands around with spare dates to fill. Someone like Thin Lizzy is a strong possibility (or whatever they call the band when they are playing the more recent stuff). A lot of the US bands mentioned would be keen to get on the support for the EU tour because they don't have a big presence here (in the UK at least). People like Buckcherry, Volbeat and even Ugly Kid Joe would only be playing to a couple of thousand at best here. It really depends who's choice it is - because sometimes its decided by promoters, labels etc. who want their other acts to get some large stage experience but there's not presently a really obvious candidate.
Dangelus Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Would love Alter Bridge. Steel Panther would make a cool opener too.
Cory Trevor Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Steel Panther would be great, anything that pumps the crowd up.. billy talent was the definition of forgettable

Plus if they open there's the chance for DJ to join up on stage and butcher some Guns songs again. Just like the good ol days.
