how about GNR and The Stones again.....they only did those 4 shows in 1989 and would be great for these 2 heavyweights to tour again...How about GNR and U2....I remember AXL saying in a 1987 interview he wanted to play with U2.............how about GNR and the Chili Peppers....Kiedis has always been a GNR fan.....and these 2 bands have been around since the mid 80's and are still goin strong...they did play once supposedly GNR opened for them at UCLA on Halloween 1985 or 1986.................much better than sebastian i wish it was 1987 bach or papa i wish it was 1999 nu metal roach

playing with the stones don't get them out to a 18-29 yr old demographic
RHCP would be a disaster

There's too much of that right now and it appears that the bands doing it are washed up... Journey/Def Lep Crue/Aerosmith Cinderella/Poison McGraw/Faith Hill -- I've seen these 4 bands and the sets are shorter than what you'd like to hear... especiall the Aerosmith set (12 songs for $125!!).. I'd rather pay 80 for a GNR exclusive. ?

I've said it for years: A GNR/U2 tour would be HUGE. This tour could sell out stadiums.

I've seen U2. Great show. I love em, but U2 fans generally are not GNR fans. Don't think that'd work.

U2 and Gn'R would not work. Two cmpletely different vibes. A Gn'R show is an in your face dirty rock show where after it's over you feel like kicking some ass. U2 is more on a spiritual level and is a much more uplifting feeling where after it's over you feel like making a difference in the world They just would not go together. Plus U2 sell out stadiums in minutes by themselves. Also Gn'R would have to be the opening band without a doubt. Would Axl go for that? Be honest here, nobody can seriously think U2 at this point in the game is an opening act for anybody. Not even The Stones. They'd simply blow them off stage. I've seen both U2 and Gn'R within the last year and it would honestly have to be this way. The good thing is it would force Axl to hit the stage on time Personally it'd be the greatest thing that could happen in my lifetime but I honestly don't see how it could work.

U2 would be an opening act for Macca, but that's about it. Well, at least we can dream about Axl and Bono sharing a stage again

Then how'd you pick yourself off the floor after fainting? I'll have to ask James to carry me home. Sure. But who's gonna carry me while I carry you? Maybe Mikegiuliana can carry us both. Bono, it would be a "co-headlining' tour. No one would open for anyone.

I know there isn't a chance in hell of this ever happening but a gal can dream... I only got to see U2 once, coincidentally at MSG and they were just amazing. I was in the pit and Bono was right there in front of me, ahhhh, the memories....

Bono, it would be a "co-headlining' tour. No one would open for anyone. James, one band has to play first. It would have to be Guns N' Roses. ?Imagine U2 going onstage and opening the show and then once they were done the fans have to wait around for a few hours before Guns takes the stage. I'm almost positive the majority(cause 85% of the venue would be filled with U2 fans ) of the fans would leave. ?The U2 fans would not bother with that BS unless they are ?a diehards of both bands like me. It could be called a Co-headlining tour but Gn'R would have to play first. This isn't a U2 ego thing by any means(they opened Live it's just the way it would have to be for it to be anyway successfull.

Hey Bandita I was wondering when it was you saw U2 at MSG? I saw them at MSG also last October 8th. It was an amazing show for sure. They even played Fast Cars ? Sorry guys that was a bit off topic.

I am not a major U2 fan, but they dwarf GNR in popularity, and would never bother doing a tour with any other major band because they sell-out stadiums all on their own. Bono has trascended himself into a global icon for all of his work with the U.N and underprivilaged people. All while still managing to make great music. Neither now, nor in the future would there ever be a need for that band to have GNR around.
