I actually like that kind of a 0-120 rush.

That's what I get when Dave walks out on stage.

I don't care if there's an opening act.

I would prefer there not be one.

Maybe then they'd have more time to play more of their catalogue.

Velvet Revolver?

Nice idea, but they can play those size venues on their own....

That would have been GRATE...if they hadn't split up in December.

OK not a great pairing but I dig em!

I would LOVE to see that!!

However, Dave Wyndorf had a big drug overdose at the back end of last year, so it;s not very likely...

If Jet is the opening band I will vomit. I FUCKING HATE THAT BAND.

Wolfmother, too. Suck shit.

Cheap Trick would be great...fabulous.

Monster Magnet is OK, but Wynedorf is a dickfuck at the mic and is a buzzkill for the headlining band.

Army of Anyone would be my vote.

I don't need an opening act. Just give me 3 hours of CVH

[Atomic Dyver]

3 hrs of CVH tunes live? Where do I sign?

[pjvan]

I vote for no opening act, but you know VH will have at least 1 band open.

How about Chevelle, they kick ass. I'd go along with Cheap Trick as well.

Newly reunited w/Stephen Pearcy. That's my vote.

I think every city should have a local battle of the bands for the opening slot. Show some support for up and comming acts.

Is it open to Van Halen tributes like Atomic Punk? ; )
What if The Other Half enters and (as if) wins?

[PenguinsKID1986]

Lets get some new blood I'll go with Saliva, I love the tune welcome to the show

[SNIPER]

NO COVER BANDS!!

This is Van HALEN, not Bruce Springsteen.

Has Van HALEN ever played a three hour show? If not, I doubt they're going to start in their 50's.

Come to think of it, I don't think The Boss himself plays that long anymore. At least he didn't when I saw him in 2002.
