He's right. Pistols are pretty well-respected because their music kicked ass, but at the same time they flamed out way too quick. GN'R was the same way, although not as influential as the Pistols.
He's not right (or wrong). It's just his opinion! Same goes for you!

Record sales and ticket sales are fact. Right now, Bon Jovi-U2-Metallica sell more concert tickets than Gnr and thus, are currently much "bigger" bands than Gnr. It would not be unreasonable for Gnr to open for U2. Simple as that.
Re: Townsville, Australia - Dec.1, 2010 (Reid Park)
There is no doubt about U2 being bigger than GNR! No arguments there.
But for a U2-fan to come on a GNR-fan site and suggest that they should open for U2 is a cheapshot. Then acting all "Who? What? Me? I just think it would be a great idea!"
Childish!
Wwwaaaaa! Wwwaaaaaa! Cry about it Naltav. The fact you think it was a "cheap shot" makes you look pathetic. Only a total loser with no common sense would take what I originally posted in this thread and look at it as a cheap shot. But that's par for the course for Cpt. NS

obv on current popularity GnR are smallfry in comparison, a nostalgia act even. but their legacy outstrips most every other classic or hard rock band there's ever been.
GnR stand alongside the stones & maybe zep as the holy trinity of rock. U2 r more second tier like the who or such. bon fuckin jovi r somethin else entirely, but i agree they'd be much closer in style for touring partners 2 u2 than gnr/u2 (tho u2 are far superior 2 bfj)You've been in the pub too long...cut him off!
I'd say it's more like he's been on the crack pipe too long.

You prolly meant to say "I agree". Just poor wording on your part!

GUNS N' ROSES' Late Concert Finish Leaves Townsville Residents Fuming - Dec. 2, 2010
Townsville, Australia newspaper Townsville Bulletin was inundated with calls and texts earlier today (Thursday, December 2) from residents near the town's Reid Park who were frustrated by the noise and late finish of the GUNS N' ROSES concert.
Hermit Park resident Mike Shearer told the paper he was forced to turn up his television as the band's music dominated his lounge room on Wednesday night.
"It was far too noisy and it went well outside the time it was meant to go," Shearer said.
"If that concert was being held in my neighbor's place, the police would have confiscated the hi-fi set, so why should they get away with it in Reid Park?"
A Townsville City Council spokesman told the Townsville Bulletin before the concert promoters were licensed to continue the show until 10:45 p.m. and council and Liquor Licensing would monitor noise levels.
"GUNS N' ROSES came on late and the concert ran late which is a concern to us and something we will talk to promoters about, as it is not fair for residents on a midweek event," Mayor Les Tyrell said.
"The remainder of the feedback has been positive, with most people generally happy with traffic management, amenities and the state of the venue."
GUNS N' ROSES took to the stage more than an hour late.

Re: Townsville, Australia - Dec.1, 2010 (Reid Park)
so at first it seemed they went on at a decent time(10:00) by Axl standards yet if it was in the gareement that the show was to end by 10:45 the start time is ridiculous. So unprofessional and just acting like an ass for the sake of it. If he can make the stage by 10:00 then obviously it's not a matter of him needing to get into that "zone" everyone talks about. If the show was to end at 9:30 Axl would take the stage at 9:00. He can go on at 8:30 or 9:00 like everyone else he just chooses to say fuck you to everyone just cause he's "cool". Just par for the course
