Burlesque show isn't paradise for city mother

It's admittedly a slow newsday in GNR land but I found this article a little interesting-

Anyone else here with kids that feel the same way?

SHE won't take her kid down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the girls are topless.

One Winnipeg mom has decided against letting her 14-year-old son attend Monday night's Guns N' Roses concert at MTS Centre after learning a burlesque act has been added to the show.

Suicide Girls, an assortment of pierced and tattooed, semi-nude punk-rockers, will open for Axl Rose and his band, who close out most concerts with the perennial party-anthem Paradise City.

Corina, who didn't want her last name used, figures the downtown arena will be more like Sin City when the Suicide Girls hit the stage.

"It's soft porn," she said. "When I bought tickets to a rock concert for my son, I didn't expect there to be naked women. He and his friend aren't going.

"I think other parents need to be aware so they can make a choice."

The Suicide Girls combine music, choreographed dance and skits -- but it's basically a strip show.

A video on the troupe's website clearly shows there is nudity involved. They aren't dubbed the Most Dangerous Burlesque Tour in the World for nothing.

Corina isn't at all happy.

"When I bought the tickets for $180, they didn't mention an opening act," she said. "I don't see how minors can be allowed to go to this."

The music critic for the Des Moines Register online newspaper wrote this of the Guns N' Roses opening act (only added to the show in mid-November) following Friday's show in the Iowa capitol: "... five Goth strippers from the Suicide Girls burlesque troupe who twirled a flaming hula hoop and slathered each others' bare chests in chocolate sauce."

MTS Centre officials are well aware of the tour's notoriety.

"There will be some nudity," said Scott Brown, director of corporate communications.

But a decision was made not to send out an advisory warning to audience members, he said. "What will be seen at this concert has been seen before. Motley Crue had some aspects of nudity, and we received no complaints," Brown said.

Suicide Girls and former Skid Row lead singer Sebastian Bach are among several acts expected to open for Guns N' Roses.

Actually, suggesting Guns N' Roses performs Monday night could be wishful thinking.

Tuesday morning might be more likely.

On Friday night, Axl and the boys didn't take the stage in Des Moines until 12:30 a.m., and the show didn't conclude until 2:45 a.m.

But Corina said the scantily clad women, not the expected lateness of the concert, was the clincher.

MTS Centre officials announced last week that since the band usually takes the stage around midnight and plays for a couple of hours, extra Transit buses are being brought in to make late runs.

Buses for most major routes will leave the arena when the show is over, while walkways to some parkades will also stay open later.

I have not had the pleasure of seeing the Suicide Girls perform but I guess the mother is just being overprotective. I must say I think it's a bit of double standards considering some of the lyrics in Guns N' Roses music...

I agree the mother is being ridiculous, it's kind of hypocritical to say it's ok for your kids to listen to a song that says, "Why don't you just fuck off!" but a few boobs on stage isn't ok. :rofl-lol:

cus anger is prolly better for the kids than seeing love? :) oh yeah, nice titties are just like looooove... :wub:

Here is an idea. Just throwin it out there. How about... showing up at the arena AFTER the SG's? No?

That would be the obvious answer eh?

I think they sometimes come on again between set changes before GNR hits the stage though.

This reminds me of Wembley, when we were waiting on GNR and the support acts to come on the camera men would pan to the topless girls in crowd and everyone cheering. No complaints of the wait that night haha.

The sad thing about this is that the mother actual went and got it published. And yeah, I agree, why don't they turn up after the sucide girls? Im sure they'll be plenty time.

Also, the main point, she is willing to pay $180 on a ticket, but then give it up because of some boobs???

What a dumb bitch. Axl should dedicate Rocket Queen to her and do his little rap.

"I stick it in, I pull it out, I grab your head and then I cum in your mouth"

"Kyle's mom is a big fat bitch, she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world..."

:P

Seriously, though. I agree that it is kind of a double standard given GN'R's lyrics. The paper doesn't mention how the girls have tape over their nipples anyways. If the lady doesn't want her kid to go, great, it would just suck to be the kid whose mom had to ruin the party for everyone in town his age.

Well, I am sure that would be ok with this woman as long as her kid doesn't see some boobies in the process! :o

WTF, they show bare ass on network television these days. Not to mention Janet Jackson's old boobies on the Superbowl!

I guess she also never heard the motto: Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll!

I feel real sorry for this kid, Missing GnR cos of the suppoet act sucks, his mother sounds strict as hell. Take a listen to "Anything Goes" that's what your son's listening to Lady, that's the band he was going to see, geez everyone from the media to mothers are starting to fight against GnR. awell let them all be crushed by the Nightrain.
