So, who is going to open the shows?

I also read that it'd be Smash Mouth. That'd be a fun show, but they can do better. The Killers would be sweet. Rob Thomas would be amazing, but he's on his own tour right now. I hope it's someone good, but surprising.

In October? So it's due to be out next week? That's so freakin awesome. I didn't expect this so early. I used tolove them.
What about a Heavy Metal band like Helloween. They have a new album and they opened a whole leg of a tour before so I could imagine that. Also, Helloween said some nice things about Richie and Tico in some Heavy Metal magazine.

I think JET fit much better into small lcations like bars or clubs. Anyway, if Jovi play some arenas, I'd love to see them.

I don't think that any band that already opened for BJ will tour with them.
But what would you say about a European tour with AEROSMITH since Aerosmith are a bit afraid to come alone to Europe(just like Van Halen 1995)

Never seen VR live but from what I've seen on the TV , Live8...I just thought they kick ass live - I'm not to impressed by Contraband though.

And Smash Mouth, aren't they some sort of alternataive-pop-ska bullshit?

They're releasing their new album in october in Japan, and in the rest of the world at the end of this year. On the internet you can hear their new song, Crazy Bitch. A good song with a great rocking riff wich is what we need!! loud guitars please!!!

Hurricane Party all the way!!
