I've only seen the Goo Goo Dolls open for them...and I liked them a lot. I went to a Crush tour show where Less Than Jake was opening, but didn't get there in time to see them (word of advice: when travelling north to Cincinnati, do not trust internet directions...you will just get lost )

LIVE wasn't crap but it's ok if you don't like them ... I think it's VERY TOUGH to be the opening act of a band like BON JOVI (I mean by this that Bon Jovi venues are full of real exclusive Bon Jovi fans more than usual gig because you have to REALLY be a fan to do a a jovi show more than a U2 show where you can decide to go JUST because it's U2 ..I hope you see what I mean )so for the bon jovi gig opener it's tough as the public is just here for BON JOVI .. so I am always giving the opening acts some excuse if they are not doing perfect...

I hope this post makes sense

The Goo goo Dolls, This is a band that should be selling out arenas on their own. I've never figured out what happened after "IRIS".
Iris is a great song, but their best album is still Gutterflower with thoughtprovoking lyrics and it just isn't what mainstream America embraces.

I usually don't see the opening band, for one reason or another.... (none particularly voluntary)

Forgot to add that Kane and Anastacia also were pretty good.

I've only seen one BJ concert, so I only have seen one opening act: the Goo Goo Dolls. And I enjoyed them. It was really cool to have my second-favorite band open for my favorite band. Sadly I couldn't enjoy it to the fullest because I didn't recognize all of the songs. I didn't have any GGD albums back then. If only I could hear that concert again....
