Perfect Opening Act?

[Firebrand]

Been thinking about this a little bit today, and man, if you put your brain in gear, there are a million potentially GREAT opening acts that could put this whole tour into the stratosphere.

My initial thoughts:

Poison (seems kind of a perfect marriage if you think about it)
Scorpions (how cool would that be??)
Pat Benatar (she can still sing her butt off)
Ratt (again, just the mix of the two seems to be a good one)
Night Ranger (like VH lite, but with two great guitarists)
Dokken (George Lynch and Eddie in one night???!!? Guitar heaven!)
Queensryche (let it soak in a moment....)

Give me any of those, follow them with REAL VH, and it'd be a night to remember!

Any others? Fire away!

Dude. Try to get out more. I remember starting a thread about this just after I read this one. I still think it should be Thirty Seconds To Mars. I'm not a fan or anything, but that singer just screams like he's dying. This type of cross-promotional stuff has been done forever. It's like Sha-Na-Na at fucking Woodstock.

How about U2, The Police, or Genesis? Or maybe Pink Floyd or the Rolling Stones?

Pat Benetar has an excellent voice but irritating fucking songs.

Queensryche wanted like $80 a head [and up], lowest price for the House of Blues in Cleveland, with no opening act, from what I heard. They can kiss my ass. They have one song that I know of, and it's not worth $80 live.
