Holy shit, Airbourne will be opening for Motley Crue along with Joe Perry Project. So... why the hell didn't Guns get them instead of Danko Jones? Maybe they wanted Canadian flavor. That's kind of weird considering a few people here picked Airbourne as a band they'd love to open for GNR.

Because Airbourne are awful? Poor mans Ad/Dc rip off

I'll pass on whatever it is you're smoking.

  Uh huh. And Gn'R are above getting lame rip off bands so they instead get the same opening act on back to back tours. A band who will basically do Skid Row cover songs. I totally see why Gn'R would avoid a new modern rock band like Airborne.

yeah i really doubt that a choice of an opening act would sell more tickets

most people i know consider the opening bands to be nothing more than bonus entertainment (or more drinking time at home)

As opposed to the cover band that's headlining the show.

As far as I can tell, not a single show in Asia or Canada is sold out yet.

If I remember correctly, several of the 2006 dates sold out on Day 1.
