never really liked K0rn. don't think GnR have had a good opening band since UYI/SG/FNM. unless Weezer count, but even by that stage Weezer had surpassed even U2's level of suckitude..

edit: is there any way 2 watch a stream of these aussie gigs??

I personally enjoyed Sebastian opening for them both in 1993 and 2007.

I don't know much Korn just the bigger hits, I don't follow much 'new metal' (if that's what you'd call them) but I'm sure as a big band they probably put on a decent show.

I don't know of any streams.  Adeliade, Perth and Townsville are just normal GNR headline gigs not a festival or anything, the Sydney show is part of the V8 car racing- so it's possible there will be some kind of pro footage of that but unsure. Actually I should look into that - if there's any local tv or anything.

Glad to see Axl's brought back the leather jacket! All that exercise equipment he carries around with him is paying off, he is looking great.
