I was going to say Bush... but didn't as I was afraid I'd get flagged on here lol

I love Bush.

Let them do a 1 hour set man. I've seen them live 2 times under "Bush" and Gavin solo once and Institute once. Amazing each time.

Bush isn't just Gavin's band now... original drummer is there, and the guitarist that took over during the last 2002 tour is still there... so its 1/2 of the original band.

Plus Traynor is better that Pulsford anyways.

Let's be as realistic as possible,  who can sell tickets that legit is a possibility.

What about Avenged Sevenfold and Shinedown? I don't like Shinedown but seem popular

I don't think you need opening bands that can
"Sell tickets"

I think they should have bands that guns n roses fans would like.   

The tickets will sell themselves

Am I the only one that could give a shit who opens for GNR?  I don't mean come off as degrading to any of you (except the Nickelback and Bush guys) but I don't generally like shows with two headliners unless I'm somewhat into each band.  The shows tend to take away from the band you're there for.  IMHO

Sixx AM would be my choice...but a long shot. Nikki is really good friends with Duff and Slash, DJ is friends with everyone in GNR except Slash...everyone in the two bands are friends. Sixx AM is now a full time band putting out 2 albums this year and embarking on a 2 year world tour...would be HUGE exposure for them to open up the first bunch of shows before summer...they're already booked solid through the summer doing festivals all over the world.

I say this in all seriousness, but in the sprit of reconciliation and with what happened recently, how about The Eagles of Death Metal?

Well if we are talking 50 thousand seat football stadiums for 200 dollars, couple bands that could bring in 20k isn't a bad idea.

Some comparable situations:

2015
AC/DC on the "Rock or Bust Tour" had Vintage Trouble and The Hives opening at stadiums.


2009-2011
U2 on the "360? Tour" had Snow Patrol, Kaiser Chiefs, Muse, Black Eyed Peas, Interpol, Jay-Z, The Fray, Lenny Kravitz and Florence and the Machine opening at stadiums.


2010
Bon Jovi on "The Circle Tour" had OneRepublic, Kid Rock and Gavin DeGraw opening at stadiums.



Many of these won't fit on a bill with Guns, but this is purely in terms of popularity.

If this actually happens, you are going to be looking at huge crowds that are buzzing with excitement found at no other rock concert.  I don't think it would be conducive to the show to have an opening act, unless Axl is pulling his old shtick of showing up hours late.  But assuming he shows up at a reasonable time, there's no need for an opening act.

Several people suggested Halestorm, and I love them too, but I worry about how any opening act would be treated by the crowd, even if it's a good band.  Unfortunately, Guns N Roses fans don't exactly have the reputation of being the most polite fans in the world, so again, maybe it's better that they don't have an opening act.

I think Avenged Sevenfold would bring in some of their fans. They have a pretty loyal and large fan base and they are fans of Guns themselves. Kid Rock is an interesting choice too. I think that'd be a pretty good bill and help fill some seats.

Avenged Sevenfold would be a great fit. They already have a history with both Axl and Slash.

They are also much bigger now than when they opened for Guns in 2006.
