Best opening band for the next VH tour?

[rustoffa]

It could be any band....be creative.

Here's a start:

THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS

WOLFMOTHER

Nostalgia acts work too:

ROMEO VOID

THREE DOG NIGHT

Just post any band name you think is funny/offensive.

[diamondsgirl]

Black Sabbath featuring Kelly Osborne :D

[Cato]

the ostracized sisters. I mean hagar and anthony. they should play for VH, with no lighting.

[Revan]

Journey, Styx, Kansas, Loverboy, Boston, and REO Speedwagon; might as well make a festival out of it...

[Terry]

Well, if a reunited CVH hopes to sell out venues that hold over 25,000 for more than one night at a shot, they'd better consider getting a band with some name recognition...

A CVH/Dio-led Black Sabbath double bill would do some good business. I could care less who went on first.

It ain't 1996 anymore. Too many people who were HYPED for this ten years ago can take it or leave it now, so promoting CVH at the Enormodome at $150 a pop is a sure fire way to see a lot of empty seats.

Get a solid opening act/co-headlining act, and keep it restricted to venues of 20,000 or less and they'll do fine. Don't overshoot the mark like Van Hagar did in 2004.

[Ice Cream Bang]

They don´t need no openers!!!!

[Matt White]

ALICE IN CHAINS

VELVET REVOLVER

The BLACK CROWES

[Fairwrning]

Sammy and the Waboritas..and give em a really small dressing room

[PlexiBrown]

Valerie and the Bertinelli's.

[PlexiBrown]

Estaban.

[Fairwrning]

I actually like the idea of no opening act...
let the bastards play a full 3 hour show by themselves just to make up for the years of bullshit

[PlexiBrown]

Here is Sammy's new band in the studio rehearsing to open up for Van Halen.

How about Nickleback? They are good and put on a good show.
Velvet Revolver as well.
Get something that draws well.
The last tour openers SUCKED.
Shine Down?? WTF are these guys??
Collective Soul would rock as well.
