He was a pretty big name when I watched wrestling religiously back in the late 90's early 00's.

I like this track, I over played it when it first leaked but I'm warming to it again. Catchy chorus, great beat, cool solo and rhythm section too, I'd love to see them play it live.

Surely GNR are much bigger than your average VH opener though? I'm no expert on VH or there tours but I'd wager if this tour does come to Europe it'll be co-headlining, and therefore probably not always GNR on first. GNR is as big if not a bigger name in the UK at least than VH is. If the rumour is true I'll definitely be there.

Watchmen - I enjoyed it, a bit long and a bit lacking in action but overall worth seeing. Great soundtrack too.

You're talking about probably the most respected "Graphic Novel" of all time.
I agree with strat, it sounds god awful, I'm glad it never got made. Even by superhero movie standards it sounds ridiculous. It may be a classic graphic novel, but I can't see anything but catastrophe if that got put on the big screen.
That BBC thing was funny

Point taken.
U2 don't need GN'R to sell-out stadiums (not to mention that they wouldn't tolerate Axl's primadonna antics)
Metallica don't need GN'R to sell-out stadiums
Rolling Stones don't need GN'R to sell-out stadiums
AC/DC don't need GN'R to sell-out stadiums.
The only band that needs other big names to sell-out stadiums is GN'R. But Axl will not open for anyone - or he'll leave his 'habit' of being 3 hours late behind?
The only big name band that would have hard time selling out a stadium beside GN'R is Aerosmith. But since their fan base is really similar, I don't see them doing a full stadium tour together.
Anyway, it's not more than a dream of someone who's so far of reality that cannot even do a simple math. CD sold like 500,000 in the US. It means like ten stadium shows with 50,000 attenders at each. Won't happen cause the US is a little bigger than having a chance for such a 'concentrated fan base'.
GN'R was bigger before CD came out - if the GH success didn't make them sell-out arenas, I don't see how they could after a failed comeback. GN'R can do like 3 festivals in Europe and that's it. No stadium tour. It's not 1991-1993 anymore.
None of the bands you mentioned need anyone to sell out stadiums, but they'll still get acts to go on before them, and having GNR as an opener is a bigger draw than a lot of the acts they could have to open. However I still don't see GNR being flat out openers for anyone. Axl was a god in the early 90's, GNR eclipsed pretty much anyone else at the time, would Axl now settle for opening for bands he was at one time much bigger than? It may be a necessary reality if he wants to play stadiums but is it one he'd embrace? The only band I think GNR would be flat out openers for is the Stones. Otherwise its co-headlining or sole headliners imo. Not that I see GNR selling out stadiums as sole headliners, not in the US at least.
Then again Axl has one of the smartest men in music behind him, Azoffs no fool. He won't be setting GNR up for a massive fall if he can help it, therefore I can only assume they have a bigger gameplan than just 'we'll play stadiums this year'. Azoff says it'll be a good year for GNR, and what he's said so far has been not far off the mark. So I await with interest to see what he and the band may have up their sleeve.

Are you kidding Von, Goldfinger is your least favourite Connery (Bond) film? I think it's his best or one of his best.
Good to see some For Your Eyes Only appreciation, very underrated film imo.
