Van Halen couldn't open for Guns though right?

If anything it would've been as co-headliners.

Then? Yes.

Now? I mean...maybe you bill them that way, to make vh happy, but guns closes the show and would be the chief co-headliner. Wink

Coma - Van Halen was always a circus with DLR - that was the beauty of it... Full on party time band, if you miss the point thats your problem haha besides, outside of hardcore fans, GnR has been more like a touring circus the last 10 years to a lot of people and top it off with a residency in vegas, pole dancing girls and flying piano... to accuse VH being a circus as a diss is quite amusing but then seriously mentioning Maroon 5, you have to be having a laugh!  Smiley

No not circus like that... DLR is fucking joke... he does't even sing all of the lyrics to their songs anymore (and I question whether or not he knows them). They did the Jimmy Kimmel thing to kick off their last tour and he broke his own nose using the mic stand like he was Steven Segal in 'Above the Law'... his band looks at him mid show like he is their senile grandfather using the 'N' word.

Sometimes a very famous person can tour as a solo and not command the audience that his band could...so here's a thought (Dream actually)

I hear Jimmy Page is going to go all solo, put out an album...tour a bit........

I'd be happier than pig in shit

I also think GNR is bigger, but VH is so close as to not wanting to open for anybody. Well, with a couple of exceptions maybe.

Im thinking it will be in the same template as guns, metallica, faith no more tour - with like a decent opener and a double header with guns going on last. I could actually imagine foo fighters doing it, i know their was animosity in the past but if dave grohl can possibly get any more publicity for himself he will whore himself out regardless of if his band is a bigger draw than gnr in recent years.

Foo Fighters is one that popped in my mind, but I have to wonder about history... There was bad blood with Nirvana, and I remember a few different cases where he bad mouthed Axl/NewGNR on stage (I remember a fan yelling about getting on stage and he said something like what does this look like Lynyrd Skynyrd or Guns N Roses, we know how to play I don't need a third guitar player we are fine with two).

Edit: The quote might be from the late 90's very early 2000's, still trying to find it... but if Axl can change opinions on Slash from 2012 to now, then Grohl might have changed his opinion in 15+ years. I know he is friends with Duff though.

The Pretty Reckless is one of the best recomendations.   

Royal Blood is another.
Stone Sour is possible Cory already knows most of theband.
Silver Sun pickups would be interesting as well.   

Red Sun Rising as the 3rd band would fit with a strong rock show.

I for once would love for it to be Alice Cooper and Skid Row, but I think they will get a new band to bring some young kids and hipsters to the gigs.

Oh yeah, what about The Cult? They have just released a new album.  beer

Foo Fighters would be good, but don't see it happening.  
Pearl Jam would be great but don't see it happening.
Metallica would be insane but don't see it happening.  

Maybe
Alice In Chains
Muse
Kid Rock

Something like this...
1) Muse or Alice In Chains
2) Kid Rock
3) GNR

DLR is currently out of VH contract (and more interested in reuniting his '85 solo band than doing more VH), doubt opening for GN'R would work for them anyway.

Why not Alice Cooper? Or his current "cover band" Hollywood Vampires with Johnny Depp and Joe Perry.

Not too ridiculous, considering Brian May opened for GNR during the UYI Tour...

Some version of Hollywood Vampires. If Alice was happy to support Motley fucking Crue I'm sure he'd be happy to support Guns. Then you could have Matt there to sit in with Guns for a couple of Illusions songs too.

Many of these bands I've seen posted in this thread are probably fun to watch, but wouldn't exactly bring people in.

So depending what the goal is, it might not make sense...
