I think GNE would be better suited by taking a up and coming band like Wolfmother with them.
Bands like Bullet for my Valentine and CKY have their fans, but are generally not the same as the average GNR fan. I think the average GNR wants a hard rock band they can sing along to as an opener...
Kind of like when GnR opened for Aerosmith

I went to one of those shows in Philly and at the time, GnR was just about the biggest band around because of SCOM
