I'm just not sure if the GnR audience is the fitting audience for the new Green Day songs. Did you miss the part about Skrillex opening for them Green Day would be a-ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 11 minutes ago, Z J said: That's terrible evidence for measuring success of a tour (an anecdotal fallacy either way) How bout we compare that to some Green Day tours. First, they're playing 25 large stadium shows on this tour (US only), wanna know the most US stadium shows Green Day has ever landed for one tour? 10. The GNR tour had cleared the $100 mil revenue mark in the middle of July, the 21st Century Breakdown tour (GD's most recent large-scale tour) made about $74 mil the ENTIRE tour. GNR has sold out 12/25 shows completely despite massive venues and ticket prices, and projected 90% capacity (one million tix) for the second leg of the tour. /FOH YOu can't just go by how much was made on the tours. They may have different expenses and different ticket prices. I believe part of the problem with the 21CB tour was that they over extended on the effects. In Canada and the US alone, the 21 CB tour sold 2 million tickets, where the GNR tour is hoping to surpass 1 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Phoenix the show is tonight and they are still advertising the hell out of it and selling tix for $20 on Groupon. Doesn't sound like it's been a major success. Your not serious right??

Also that number is for the second leg only, with far less shows 😂😂 can we just admit it's been a massive success so far and be on it with it because you really can't pretend this hasn't been, and that was the original point I was arguing.

Rob Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 MASSIVE gnr fan here. Been on a lot of gnr forums throughout the years (though not on gnr truth specifically). Know MSL's history well. He's something of a major douche, but the guy IS well connected in the world of gnr. He has legit inside sources in the industry. He knew about CD coming out in 2008 exclusively to Best Buy several months before it was publicly announced or even speculated. He's proved his worth many times over. If he says it's happening, bet your bottom dollar that it's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNICORN VOMIT Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 @belinda jane OK when I saw this thread I immediately thought about the postponement of Guns n Roses tour announcement until Wednesday - wasn't there a large sign in Melbourne saying they were playing the MCG in February.

armatage Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 It would be a strange thing for GD to open for GnR, especially if they're debuting some songs from RevRad. I'd rather they played new songs to their fans first. If it's just Bang Bang, it might be alright though, and exposure-wise it might be a good idea to open for GnR, especially if it's just a one-time thing.

Tomcat20 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 It feels weird to know Green Day opening for some other band. I mean when did they open for anybody else the last time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingContradictionPL Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I hope this rumor is fake. I don't see Green Day opening for anyone. However, I know that AC/DC opened for The Rolling Stones in 2003 so everything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 4 hours ago, JJ1964 said: It might make some sense, slightly, if it was announced earlier. According to that article, GNR's new album is not doing well, so having a big name band play with them could boost ticket sales. As for GD, they get to try out the new album in a stadium setting. From what we have heard, this album may be better suited to a stadium than a small secret show. GD and GNR are good friends, so I'm sure they would be willing to ehlp each other out. Gnr's most recent album came out six months before 21st Century Breakdown, and yeah the album was pretty shit. It was basically Axl's solo album with everyone that made the core of the band and gave weight to the gnr name gone. Think Billie replacing Mike and Tre with C-D list nobodies and continuing on as Green Day and even then it's still better off than what Axl did with CD. But anyways, /rant. Just clarifying that this tour is in support of Axl, Slash, and Duff reuniting and not of any new album. Saw them in July and they fucking killed it. Fell out of love with Green Day quite a few years ago, but wouldn't have minded seeing them play their old stuff opening for gnr. They're still a killer live band, no doubt. And nostalgia and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadair Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I love Guns N' Roses! I would have went to one of the Chicago shows in July if the tickets hadn't been so expensive. However, if Green Day was opening at those shows I would have been there in a heartbeat. 3 minutes ago, Joe K said: I wish this wasn't true though, GD shouldn't be opening for anyone. Not necessarily, Metallica (who is as big if not bigger than Green Day) opened for The Rolling Stones in San Francisco in the mid-2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
