Why not another co headlining tour?

GNR/OASIS

Wouldn't work in America.

Who cares of America? It would work everywhere in the rest of the world. That's the most important.
America is not the center of the world

Oasis only sells at UK...actually UK is the only place in the worls where people actually cares about them...

yeah i mean oasis are only the band holding the record for the fastest sellout of MSG. so they aren't popular at all........

also oasis are in the middle of a worldwide stadium tour, so people do care about them outside the UK.

I really don't think any co headlining set up is a good idea. ?

First off, I don't think any band of the stature talked about in this thread would put themselves in a position to tour with someone who has the sketchy touring past of Axl, not good business.

More impotantly, I think it's time for Axl to have the lone spotlight. ?

No need to share the bill with anyone outside of a festival appearance.

Great points. I agree their is no need to share the bill, especially on an arena tour. But if a stadium tour was to ever occur, GNR will need someone else of equal status to ensure sellouts.

Axl will definitely have to prove himself capable of handling a tour schedule with minimal problems before any major act would agree to join a tour.

It didn't work well at all in Brazil in 2001.

And btw, Oasis had a very succesful tour last year, not only in the UK. Basically all their shows were sold out.

[uzisuicide2002]

GN'R and AUDIOSLAVE would kick ass

[Sparksry]

I think u answered ur own question... It would be a huge tour... after the UYI tour they probs dont wanna another absolutly gigantic tour... thats wat broke them up mostly

Probably GNR.. I love how euros despise us.. Theres nothing more american then Axl Rose..

[Chief]

If they do this i think they should do maybe 15 shows maximum, not a super big tour.. would be much easier to manage.

and i'd vote for the Guns and AC/DC lineup!!!

monsters of rock 2?

Arenas aren't even an option yet, at least not in the US. ?Gotta get the reocrd out and see how things go before that'll be a workable situation.

As for stadiums in the US, those days are long gone. ?That's hardly GNR specific, generally speaking there's just not the market for that type of event these days.

Axl would never open for anyone outside the Rolling Stones at this point, and there is not a chance AC/DC is going to open for New GNR.

A Co-headline tour will never happen if for no other reason than Axl won't agree to open for anyone, and no truely established act that doesn't need GNR to sell seats will open for New GNR.

Axl in 2006 doesn't carry the same type of weight to demand top billing of a headline tour that he did in 1991 when they went out with Metallica.

[Sparksry]

ACDC isnt haveing concerts anymore anyway

Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver 
Guns N' Roses/Kid Rock
Guns N' Roses/Weezer

Yeah, CD has to be out for anything here in the US to be a success(3000 seat venues dont count). While I agree that the Stadium Tour craze is pretty much dead, I think a GNR/U2 tour could pull it off. Both bands have large fanbases, and GNR actually touring behind CD, and U2 just touring period, could easily draw in the crowds.

Do you really think Axl would be content to open every night though? I don't  think he has it in him, and U2 is such a tremendous draw that they open for no one, even on a shared bill. Bono is practically a God in the eyes of the world right now with all he has accomplished in and out of music. It's a great idea and all, I just don't see any way in which Axl could suck up his pride like that.

Who said anything about an opening act? Or "sucking up your pride"? It would have to be like GNR/Metallica. Both bands being on an even level. Since Axl obviously likes going on late, and U2 would play a full set every night. Then GNR takes there turn.

[Naupis]

Who said anything about an opening act?

Call it what you will, but in any "co-headliner" type of show, whoever goes on first is considered the lesser act, even in situations where the bands claim to have equal billing. It is an ego thing, as the perception is that whoever goes on first is the lesser draw of the two.

Every rockstar has an ego, and not one of them would prefer opening a show to closing one, regardless of whether they have equal billing or not.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

I'd rather have a GnR/Sebastian Bach's band or a reformed Skid Row, or GnR/Buckcherry, or GnR/Hanoi Rocks than a lot of those.  But GnR/Chili Peppers or GnR/Tool would be amazing

[monkeychow]

Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver 

  I was waiting for someone to say that 

The funny thing is - appart from all the bullshit and political differences etc that would make something like that never happen - it would be such a kickass show....
