Would be cool ONLY so we could throw shit for their disrespectful performance at HOF.

[ziggysmalls]

I think Buckcherry would be a good opening act.

[jharp84]

No opening act necessary! However, if there must be, then sabbath w/ozzy let's bring this FULL CIRCLE!!

[Jimmy Jingles]

NO FUCKING OPENING ACT!!!!

[Jimmy Jingles]

Open with...


Hot For Teacher!!!!!!!

[FORD]

Rollins Band. Or a reunited Black Flag, if someone can pull Greg Ginn's head out of his ass....

Sure, throw in a DJ and I'll make a rap out of it.

Or maybe I could get Consolidated back together. We need those guys right about now. Their talent was wasted in the 1990's when most people weren't ready to see what the BCE was up to.....

[KING OF THE HIL]

NO NO NO THE ONLY OPENING ACT SHOULD BE

Leather Tuscadero

[DLR'sCock]

A three hour + show with an intermission just like Rush do!

LOL! Or maybe The Fonz could jump 13 garbage cans.

[diamondsgirl]

The Cribs are kind of poppy punk (from England) and are on the WB label and are touring the east coast this fall/winter.

Funny, because they are all brothers in that band.

My daughters dig them they way I was diggin VH back in the day :D

I'll bring them to the show if the Cribs opened..they'd love it.

You bastard, you beat me to it !!!! ;)

Last two tours, this is how Rush did it. Start at 7:30, play 'til 9, 20 minute intermission, then play from 9:20 'til 11:00...

I have a sneaking suspicion that they will NOT do it like this however. In classic Van Halen traditions, they'll have an opening band that sucks balls, in order to get the crowd ready for the mighty VH....

[HOGLEG]

Wolfmother

[FORD]

Wolfmother might actually work, if the object is to get a young band as an opener.

Or did you mean Valerie Bertinelli (Wolf's Mother) should open the show? ;)

[ZamboniMan]

I'd be down with Wolfmother as the opener...

[cvh 2007]

FIXED! hehe, no, I would love to see an 80's rock band open for them if there is an opener...

[HOGLEG]

I have seen Wolfmother twice in St. Louis within the past year and they rocked. If VH is thinking new bands they would be good, even with the "Wolf" connection. I went to "B.O. Fest" I mean "Ozzfest" last night and my hangover is still hanging so I didn't get my own Wolfian slip.

[binnie]

Chances are, whatever opening act they get no-one's gonna give a shit about them for the 45 minutes they're on stage.

Satch.


The Stray Cats.

Ashlee Simpson.


O.J. Simpson...

WHO CARES!!!! I'M THERE!!!

Would Rush do such a thing? Better start @ 4:00.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers....I'd be late on purpose.

'Nuge.

NUUUUGE!

Quiet Riot. Or Slade. No difference.

[Bonzo1026]

Uh, Slade blows Quiet Riot away. Quiet Riot should thank Slade for the only success they ever had their two hits that Slade wrote. Ya know, kinda like Kingdom Cunt should thank Zep for Kashmir.

this may be the act, i found this in dave's website..under t shirts..lol

makes ya think-;)

[Nickdfresh]

The Wiggles! :eek:
http://z.about.com/d/kidsmusic/1/0/g/4/Wiggles_BigBen.jpg
OMG! They can entertain Wolfy before he goes on!

[RedEye]

Nerf Herder...... for one song then bring on Van F'n Halen

[m_dixon1984]

Wolfmother would be a great opener, if one was required.

I'm embarassed to say I was at the VanGaygar show in T.O. in 2004 (friends dragged me there and paid for my ticket, seriously). However, the opening act Silvertide impressed me. Last I heard they were working on their second album. They would also make a pretty good opener.

If there was a vote that counted, though, I would go with the Rush format and no opening act. I'm also hoping to see something cool before the band hits the stage. 10 or more minutes before the last Ozzy show I saw he had a hilarious video montage playing on the big screen. Ozzy was superimposed in lots of scenes, i remember his face replacing Alanis' in part of one of her videos. It was a hoot. VH should shoud do something like that, something for the fans, something a little unique and memorable.

I hear G-Force is available again. :eek:

[delta5150]

velvet revolver jeje only jokin

[SNIPER]

hellyeah should open

[PSYCHOVHFAN]

Wolfmother would kick ass. My preference would be a current hard rock band like Wolfmother, Queens of the Stone age, Kings of Leon etc. and not an 80's metal band. I do not want a nostalgic show, rather acts that compliment each other and knock us on our collective asses.

I agree with you on the Slade thing.

Keep Kingdum Cum off the list...

Nick, you smartass! ;) You beat me!

Wolfmother is a good pick.

But I'm gonna say-

Dirty Sanchez and the Rusty Trombones.

LINKIN PARK

Seconded.

[78/84 guy]

Thank you, I don't care if Dave loses his fucking voice !! Play motherfuckers play !! Opening acts suck !!

[Combat Ready]

These guys were mentioned in a post as an opening act a few months back. I think they would fit the bill nicely. Let 'em play for 45 and VH can still do the 3 hour thing!

yeah!

[DeadMan1984]

Sebastian Bach or do what Metallica did back in the early 90's. Don't have an opening act and play a 20 minute "mini-movie" thing and in between parts of the film have Dave from the backstage talking to the audience to pump them up even more.

[fwacf]

The Scorpions would be a great opening band or Whitesnake!

[bueno bob]

Now now...let's keep all this age appropriate for Wolfee...

[fe_lung]

Don't the Foo Fighters have a new record to pimp? Granted, they're headliners but there's no shame in opening for VH

[bueno bob]

How about Hillary Duff? I hear teenagers really like her...

[Vanessa]

Axl Rose band

[m_dixon1984]

Live Nation has Ky-Mani Marley (???) listed as what-seems-to-be an opening act for the Auburn-Hills show.

None of the other dates has another band listed.

If I lived in Detroit I'd be hanging at the bar through the opening act. Reggae band opening for VH...no fucking thanks.

M

PS - oh, they added Marley as an opener in Philly as well.

[FORD]

Son of Marley will be the opener for the entire tour, mon!

Jah rastafari, bring da ganja!!

[Cato]

Tiger Woods' golf lesson

[Bonzo1026]

Who the fuck is Ky-Mani Marley? That's the opening act in Philly.

From what I hear, and being a sports fan, Philly's gonna "eat him alive"!!!! I doubt he makes it to song #2!!

Please god let that be sarcasm. Well, I know it's sarcasm, but still...eww.

Personally no opening act is fine by me. Too bad about the Ky-Mani Marley opening act...looks like I'll take my time buying snacks.
