U2 - Rolling Stones - Chilli peppers - Oasis etc.... are all too big to Tour with GN'R.
Unfortunately, as soon as ChiDem isn't out, thenewGNR are nowhere near to be as big as any band above. Oasis or the Chilli peppers would outsell the new GN'R. I don't even speak of U2 or the stones, it would be ridiculous, they are far too big.
However, I think less popular and less bigger bands like Muse,The Strokes, The Killers, Jet, Casabian etc... would be OK.

I think that they can do it very well on their own... but I would really love to see them with Stones (
I had tickets for Germany
) or with Aerosmith...
Another band that I would really love to see them touring together is Alice in Chains

Axl is the man and real music genious,bono is stupid mand who thinking that he knows everything
Gnr can not play with stones,rhcp because there will be more rhcp and stones fans than gnr fans

There are 2 main reasons GNR should not tour with another huge band,
1) It would cut their setlest, and that's bad, considering in the 2+ hours GNR play now, we only get some songs and a lot of solos. For instance, when I saw Motley Crue last year, they play 2 and a half hours. When I saw them this year with Aerosmith, they play one and a half hours, because when you are on a double bill, each band has the same amount of time, and they can't play as much as if they headlined and had a smaller opener.
2) Having a big name tour with GNR may push them into a corner. Take Poison and Cinderella...I went to this show this year too, and while I loved it, it SCREAMED 80's metal. If GNR toured with a band, who would it be? What if it was an 80's band, it would push them into a corner of living in their past. best to have a smaller opener and make GNR look big. Know what I mean?
that's my 2 cents

GN'R never were "80's metal", they are neither completely "80's"? and nor "metal". so this is a wrong problem. Plus, they were far bigger and more popular in the 90's. GN'R were only famous in America in the 80's, AFD didn't sell that much outside America, it sold much much less than Use Your Illusion I and II outside America, and everywhere in the world they are remembered as an early 90's Rock band for most part.
I think it's good to tour with some young modern bands. This is not about a ridiculous "has-been" spandex revival act, this is about living with your time. We are in 2006. The band took the right decision to go on tour with some fresh young bands (Hoosbaskank, Papa Roach).

Indeed, some here will not be joining Mensa any time soon-
Hoobastank weren't actually that bad, what I caught of them at the Vegas show. Not my cup of tea but I can see why GNR are picking some of these bands to open for them. I am no longer part of the MTV generation but I guess it doesn't hurt to expand their fan base a bit. You have to include that demographic (the 15-22) year old one. They are the ones who buy tickets, CDs, merchandise, etc....

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
screw that! cuase then you get half set for each band!!! Just saw Aerosmith/Motley Crue and Aerosmith playe 1h15mn and the Crus 1h20mn. I'd rather see them each separately for 2+hrs

I think for now GNR shouldnt co headline with anyone, Bach and Papa Roach are just fine.
Oh and Pink Floyd blows the crap out of U2 live, ive seen U2 but never saw Pink Floyd (im going to R.Waters show next year)

I bet alot of bands would be hesitant to tour with them since Axl has not always been the most reliable person.

Your out of your mind....U2 is the biggest rock band on the planet right now....and I think Bono is hilarious...especially when he talks about the French. Bono has been, and always will be a tremendous talent.....and that goes for the entire band as well.....GNR has a shot to climb back up to the top with them....well see what happens....

I prefer GNR tours with a yet-to-be-big band
GNR+ another huge act = tix cost double. if you like the other band, it'd be great but of not...

look at the past time with metallica, that answers alot.i dont think GNR need it, i mean if another big band were to tour with them, then consiquently the stage time for each act would shorten.
