Hugh Knowho Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Hi all, I know you have no reason to believe me, as a brand new poster here with no history, but just want to give you a little heads up: If you live in or around Los Angeles, Green Day will be opening for Guns 'N Roses at Dodger Stadium this Thursday and Friday as part of the "Not In This Lifetime" Tour. They will be playing a few cuts from Revolution Radio. This will not be formally announced until a day or two before the shows.
Steven Seagull Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Guns 'N Posers should open for Green Day
Second favourite son Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Do you have a source for this information?
spacewanderess Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Interesting. I was under the impression GnR was opening for Green Day in LA. If what you say is true that makes a bit more sense. Willing to share a source?
Second favourite son Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 GnR is playing Dodgers Thursday and Friday, not Friday and Saturday.

It's Thursday-Friday. Sorry, OP was incorrect. Typing on my phone. Can't reveal source, but it's been in the works for a while. Green Day guys (especially Mike) are good friends with Slash and Duff. Had been asking them to hold opening slot for them for a while but they wanted to make sure the new record had a set release date before they committed to playing.

It's not even close to mentioning Green Day as definite openers. Edit: Sorry, thought you were OP. I'm very sceptical about this though. Neither seems the kind of band to open for someone, let alone one another.
DeJennsitized Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 I don't think a source exists. OP is the source. Only time will tell if it's true i suppose.

I wasn't the one that originally posted the rumor. I was only contributing to the discussion of this being a possibility.
spacewanderess Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 To be fair, all of the members are friends of the Mckagen family. This certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility. But considering OP can't/won't share a source only time will tell

Edit: Sorry, thought you were OP. I'm very sceptical about this though. Neither seems the kind of band to open for someone, let alone one another. 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.
Clockwise Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Yeah, I believe this. Hope some club shows happen too!
Sanity Loan Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is happening.
spark in the night Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 At first, I was going to say Awolnation because they're an LA-based band and friends with McKagen, but they're not that big and not about to drop a new record
lizziebix Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Me either. Feels right because of the friendships involved.
unextraordinarygirl Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 This would be a cool show! I could see it happening since we have seen pics of Mike, Tre and Duff. I'd be all in to see it if I could. I won't be able to go out there though.
sara_gd Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 I would say warm up show in the bay for this seems plausible to me, but if this is Thursday Friday, the show would have to be Wednesday... hmmmm. ..
Alan86 Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 If this was a few weeks ago I'd call bullshit. But I was wrong about the leaked track list for Revolution Radio. I'd rather they didn't open for another band but whatever.
