Like I said before.....don't even bring an opening act....
I'd prefer no opening act than to have Baz.
#332 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who do you want as the opening act? » 863 weeks ago
I'm the opposite. I could care less who the opener is, as I rarely go in until the main act is ready to play. I like Papa Roach, but only saw them play their last 3 songs when the opened for GNR. I missed Baz altogether.
Have you seen Baz play before? Do you just not like him? His music? Both?
I understand people being upset and wanting something new, something bigger and better. But it shows Axl's loyalty to his friends. I think he's thankful to Baz for being there for him over the last couple of years and he's showing his appreciation by bringing him along to tour. Maybe he'd rather do it that way than try to get more asses in the seats by picking a more relevant band. I too don't know much about Danko Jones, maybe THEY are that band. Someone on HTGTH mentioned how Ron is friends with guys from the band.
Haven't seen him play before and am not interested. And funny thing is. I like Skid Row. I just hate Baz. The guy is so fake that he makes Pamela Anderson's boobs look real. He hates it if people compare Skid to Poison and I can understand cause well Skid Row and Poison were as different as night and day. But I think Baz is one of the main reasons people thinks Skid Row is glam. He looks like the guys in Poison, acts like the guys in Poison, talks like them except that like I said before, to try and prove he's not glam he swears profusely. I have no problems with swearing Axl does it. But when you do it make it mean something. When he talks you'd think he revolutionized music. When I hear Baz talk I just wish I was deaf to me he is that annoying. And plus, before CD was out he'd always say how he knew when it was coming out and blah blah blah. Anyways in case you missed it in my post. I fucking hate Baz. *lol*

I was referring to faldor's post. We posted around the same time. I've changed it.
I agree with you. See edited post.
Call me cheap and I am. If I pay to see a show I wanna see the opening acts. Sometimes you discover great music. In 06 The Trews opened for GNR to the show I went. Didn't know the Trews and man I thought they were great and bought their albums. Liked it and became a fan. I'm always curious to discover new bands. I have zero interest to hear Baz scream swear and try to make us believe he's the shits for a whole hour. And when I buy a ticket I wanna see the whole fucking show. Axl should bring someone that is relevant. I do not know Danko Jones but at least they got my interest. I'm curious to discover their music. Instead of Baz they should bring a Ukelele player. May be boring but at least it would get people curious. *lol*

faldor wrote:That's why I put "new" in quotations. He's got "new" music to play instead of Skid Row tunes. You were calling for an 80's glam rock band to play. While I'm sure Baz will play the classic Skid Row songs, he'll be playing plenty of "new" stuff too, at least that's what he did last time out. Axl's not looking to latch on with another band from the 80's. Like you said, he's friends with Baz. That's the main reason.
Yeah, but he already had him throughout 2006 & 2007.
You don't keep the same opening act for years and years.
But then again, GN'R rarely tours, so I guess it isn't a big deal to throw Baz a paycheck anytime they tour.
But you said it they do not tour often and the tours are not as successful as they used to be or should be. So why not spice things up to try and bring more asses in the seats? Baz will bring zero asses in the seats.
#335 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who do you want as the opening act? » 863 weeks ago
Is there some release I don't know of post-Angel Down? That album is not new, and frankly - neither is CD. So that's not a reason.
Friends, and maybe Baz's Canadian heritage is what comes into play.
But Baz & Bret are peas in a pod. In some weird way, I respect Bret more, because he totally knows what he is and loves it. Baz sits there and thinks he's some bad ass rock n' roller... yeah right. If he's bad ass, so is Stephen Pearcy.
There are so many other Canadian acts Axl could've picked that would've been more relevant than Baz. I do not like Theory of a deadman but I think they would've been better. Baz may not be glam but like glam he sucks big time. I was serious when I said Warrant would've been a better choice. No they are not relevant but would've been a fun act. Plus I'm not easily offended and I wanna make it clear that I ain't offended by Baz. The guy to make himself look bad ass swears worst than 10 sailors together. Comes off as fake to me. Seriously the fact that he's opening could very well mean I am not going to a GNR show.
#336 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who do you want as the opening act? » 863 weeks ago
I don't know Danko Jones but would be willing to discover them at a GNR show. As for Baz. Let's just say that my desire to buy a ticket for a GNR show has significantly dropped. Hell even Warrant would've tempted me more.
#337 Re: Guns N' Roses » This is Brain? » 863 weeks ago
Classic clip.
Now, if you track down the unmasked video footage of Bucket, then you've really found something. It's out there.
Did you ever see that video Bri?
#338 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who do you want as the opening act? » 863 weeks ago
Chickenfoot
I actually thought about them and I would love it if it were to happen.
#339 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who do you want as the opening act? » 863 weeks ago
Baz is playing shows with Alice Cooper in Finland in December, so he won't be opening in Asia. Could be a warmup for him though, for Canada.
Haven't bought my tick yet and if I learn Baz opens it could literally mean me avoiding this tour altogether.
#340 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who do you want as the opening act? » 863 weeks ago
When should we expect to know who will be opening for GNR for those dates? I heard somewhere it was Baz again. Please say it ain't so.
