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...

It depends... If you think people will fullfill stadium just because of gnr you can open even with a fuckin karaoke...but if you think that 250/300 $ ticket it's a little too much, you have to bring in something big. I don't like them but foo fighters could be the right choice =)

Foo Fighters are bigger than GNR these days.
plus, I don't see Dave doing anything with Axl.
maybe they can have Smashing Pumpkins and/or Marilyn Manson, but it's difficult
to find big relevant names who has no problems with Axl or Guns in general

A few people mentioned Halestorm... that would be awesome as the first opener..
Then an act like Linkin Park who has a little bit of a different fan base than us to bring in more butts in the seats. ( Of course if they wanted to) We all know Chester is a fan.
Would be great imo.

I think a more modern act makes sense since they are trying to fill up very big stadiums.

I don't think there's anything bigger than GN'R reunited... We are talking about a stadium tour.. What other fan base is talking about something like that? I don't think anybody is doing it.. We are lucky, very lucky this time..
Suddenly GN'R is the biggest rock band in the world again..

That isn't a bad idea, they all fall under the 'rock' flag, but do have audiences that don't overlap. Kid Rock has gone onstage with GnR (Hammerstein) so I think he would be on board. The first Bush album was one of my favorites late in high school. I think Machinehead might be the only song now at NFL games (at least Patriots games) that gets played 1/10th as much as Jungle.
Edit: another thought though to mix up the lineup would be to kick Gavin (Bush) off the tour and replace him with his ex-wife (No Doubt)... you are adding a host from The Voice which would tap into a large US audience which from a business perspective helps to put asses in the seats. 25 nights of 60k+ seats for the first time in 23 years is going to be a tall task, at least through the first handful of shows while people get comfortable that this tour isn't going to be plauged by the very very small number of very very high profile issues that have hit this band (in most forms) over the last 30 years. If this tour starts on the West Coast and wraps East I think it will pick up steam and absolutely pack Met Life, Gillette, and Lincoln Financial after there is a nightly track record of success.

Alice Cooper would be a good shout, I think. I'm pretty out of touch with current rock music so I don't really know any up-and-coming bands, so no suggestions or speculation from me on this.
It's such a pity the Hellacopters split up - they would have made an excellent opening act, methinks.

I saw Budh live a couple of years ago. It's pretty much just Gavin's band now, but honestly it was one of the best shows I have ever seen

Pumpkins would be great. Billy's had a lot of kind words for Axl the last few years. That said, his first kid's just been born so maybe he won't be touring this year.

Avenged Sevenfold? I can't really think of any good young rock bands to open for them that would fit with GN'R's vibe. The Sword might be a good choice.

Sounds nuts, and its my dream... but Oasis opening for Gn'R would be amazing.
it will never happen but cool to think about. They are rumored to be reforming soon themselves.... that would DRAW HUGE... not so much for Oasis in USa but still.
On a serious side...
Rage would be amazing... or SOundgarden maybe? I don't know.

Love the idea of Oasis. Also cool would be Jane's Addiction.
