There's been a lot of talk from people disappointed about Nickelback being the opening act for the Europe and possibly summer tours. I know we all go to the shows to see Bon Jovi but just wondering who your ideal opening act would be. I personally hated the Have a Nice Gig openers even though the concept was a nice gesture to younger artists, I'd much rather hear an established band. Also if you can, try to keep your answers realisitc. As much as I'd love to see U2 or AC/DC open for Bon Jovi it'd obviously never happen. Personally I really liked Goo Goo Dolls when the opened part of the Bounce tour and I'm looking forward to Nickelback but I'd be happy with a group like Matchbox 20 if they ever get back together (not that crappy Rob Thomas solo stuff) or even The Lovehammers (if you ever watched Rockstar INXS this is the band of that guy that came in second place ... they have been opening for the new INXS on their current tour. Def Leppard would be pretty good too.
