I’m not gonna do what everybody thinks I’m gonna do and mercilessly ridicule Rolling Stone for supporting Arcade Fire even though the magazine knew nothing of their existence until Funeral had already change 2004’s musical landscape. Must have been easy to rate that record 4 stars when the whole indie community loved this record for months ahead. Better late than never RS. The live show is INTENSE and one ticket will make you a believer…”Every time you lose your eyes!!!!”

The Raconteurs

I’ve heard a rumour of the Stones playing Zilker Park in Austin and if that’s true – I’m there.

Absolutely nobody.

I’m as big a Stones fan as it gets, but I wouldn’t wish opening for them on my LEAST favorite band. At every North American Stones gig the place is half empty when you hit the stage, you’re only given one tiny bit of the sprawling set to work with, they don’t make full use of the sound or lights, and the crowd that IS there doesn’t give a rat’s ass about your new sound anyway.

THE RACONTEURS..BEST NEW BAND IN YEARS…PERIOD!

I’d wanna see DPT with them

What A Grand Oppurtunity To Show All The Kids How HIP I Am!!!
I pick Ted Nugent.

definitely the raconteurs, i like them. i’d pay thirty bucks to see that.

Mute Math

dave matthews band is the better band to open rolling stones

The bands nominated are great bands but how about Sam Roberts they released their great followup a few months back. I have seen them numerous times and they put on a great show and they are good old guitar rock like the Stones. Sam Roberts doesn’t get the credit they are do in the States and this would be great to open everyones eyes to this great band from Montreal, Canada. They are true road warriors like the Stones.

Just my two cents.

Dave Matthews Band? Are you kidding?

System Noise a band out of NYC. Give a good new band a real break. Check out their website at System Noise NYC. Just a thought.

I would vote for Wolfmother.. Arcade Fire does not need the Stones

How about the best to young bands- the strokes, or the kings of leon, or the worlds best young, contemporary band- Pearl Jam, could give it another go with the stones.

“Arcade Fire” is great.
But “Mobile”, another Montreal band has a great sound and stage presence. Would be a great way for American audiences to hear these guys.

Somtimes it feels like I’m getting too much fiber in my diet. But I just love whole grain crackers and I can’t eat enough of them! Oh well!

arcade fire. duhh dude

It would be cool if the Stones would ‘help’ out a band like Maximo Park, or possibly the arctic monkeys, picture this: the best new British bands w one of the greatest of all time. Just a thought, not to jump on the band-wagon but the Raconteurs would be awesome too.

keane
babyshambles
kelly osbourne… jajajahaha

Sam Roberts for sure. Show Sam and the boys some respect. These guys are great. They already rocked Live8 and SARSfest, now its time for them to break out of Canada.

Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley!
2 of the Stones’ biggest influences and they can can still play!!

If you had a few acts as the Stones did when they had J. Geils and George Thorogood open years ago…you could have Chuck and Bo, and still bring out the White Stripes or The Strokes or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Or a newly reformed/rehabilitated Libertines!

Sam Roberts would be perfect. Anyone who’s listened to either of his albums or seen him live would agree. Plus he’s about due some stateside success. SAM ROBERTS!

Rolling Stones put on a great show, it doesn’t really matter. who opens- But if they could actually intertwine some songs – oh that would be amazing. I am not picking from that list because if you read the other bands that opened for them in the past–WHERE ARE THEY NOW- so its pointless

But both of those I just mentioned on the top are going on tour- it would be Pandomonium-

well, Sam Roberts Band has what it takes to open for the Strolling Bones show . I’d like to see Keef come and play with Sam’s mates ya know!

Sam Roberts would make a perfect match. Keep it up Sam it’s sounds great.
ciao.GF

Black Crowes

North Mississippi Allstars, Black Keys, White Stripes

Eagles of Death Metal

Umphreys McGee

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I’m not gonna lie, The Raconteurs and the Stones would be a pretty kickass show but i wouldnt mind seein’ wolfmother or the arctic monkeys as well

Sonic Youth The Elder Statesmen of Altenative opening for the Eled Statesmen or Rock & Roll

Elder

Huey Lewis & The News

Boards of Canada.

Chicago – combined they both have been around for a century

the raconteurs aren’t a “young new band” (jack white). arctic monkeys get enough publicity. hard-fi is a better group than both and they need some love

the pixies

Hey how bout an old band recently resurrected…New York Dolls?? 32 years from their last album outta make them count for somethin “new” eh?

How About Radiohead??

Arcade Fire puts on a fantastic show with tons of energy. One song’s worth of time with that ballsy little keyboardist girl and you’re hooked for life.

Arcade Fire deserves it.

BE YOUR OWN PET

FALL OUT BOY!!! their way better than the stones. the stones should open up for fall out boy!!

I think since they will be on a 2 day break after there Edmonton Show The WHO should Open for the Stones. Even Aerosmith is a possible rumour around Regina

GREAT unknown Canadian Band
The Bushpilots
http://www.thebushpilots. ca

Kings of Leon! Kings of Leon! Kings of Leon! Kings of Leon! Kings of Leon! Kings of Leon! Kings of Leon! Kings of Leon! Kings of Leon! Kings of Leon! Kings of Leon!

I think it should be Sheryl Crow’s dad’s blues band, “The Usual Suspects”

I Think That The Raconteurs would be a great opening band

All Of Those Choices Are preety Good but i think id have to agree with Louis The Raconteurs would be the best opening act

The Raconteurs

only pick bands who know how special it is, and not the ones who are so new and hot right now that they actually think they are better than the stones. bring back ones from the first n. american leg. nothing was cooler than seeing eddie vedder sing wild horses with mick

Kings of Leon…perfect opener for the Rolling Stones. anyone agree?

after reading the list, i gotta agree with the raconteurs and sam roberts. i know, canadian brotherly love but sam roberts is really rock’n'roll talented (i don’t own any of his music but it would be a good fit) and almost like gord downie with hair or burton cummings wit less of a ‘fro than ben wallace..
i’d like to see the arcade fire open and also …and you will know us by the trail of dead. they rule live, i saw the guy throw a bass drum into this lady’s face. it was cool.
lates.

Son cualquiera los rolling stone…

Matt Mays & El Torpedo

Has to be David Essex

Rock On!

The Terms!

oh god…please not the arcade fire. i’m even from montreal and i still think they’re wildly overrated. And who the hell suggested radiohead and dmb? i’d have to go with the kings of leon, babyshambles or the arctic monkeys. sam roberts would be cool too

DPT – cant fcuk with Barat

definately the new heirs to classic rock, wolfmother

The Beatles circa 1971

KINGS OF LEON

David Essex lol!

If you can drag him off his cnal boat he might be up for it!

Gonna make you a star!

I know he is touring with Clapton but I would like to see Derek Trucks open for them. Great guitarist. One of the best out there.

wolfmother
arctic monkeys
the strokes

let me repeat ……NO ONE opens for the Stones, please

I concur, Kings of Leon,The Strokes,Arcade Fire,Pearl Jam and
The Racnteurs would all be great openers.
Yes, Wolfmother could well be the heirs to classic rock, but they need to put out some more better developed tunes before they’re worthy of opening for the Stones.

Pearl Jam!They did it before they can do it again!!!

none of them!

Buddy Guy

My Morning Jacket
Best live band going…

The Raconteurs

hands down

N’SYNC, 98 DEGREES, BACKSTREET BOYZ, NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK or O-TOWN would all be great choices.

Just saw the first concert of The Raconteurs latest tour and it was SMOKIN. Hands down, that would be a ragin concert.

Ian McLagen & The Bump Band would blow any new band off the stage AND complement The Stones.

love the Stones, but they’ll never do another show with the Who. Each time it’s happened, Mick et al have walked away with their tail between their legs (Rock ‘n Roll Circus, anyone?). I like the idea of Buddy Guy. That’s a good mesh and a wonderful warm up while sitting down.

Well, if you wanted to put a Stones cover band in there, you could invite the Hives (note: they are completely unoriginal).

However, you could ALSO go for Arcade Fire, Fiona Apple, Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth, The Futureheads, Franz Ferdinand, Weezer (if they weren’t breaking up), Kings of Leon, The Decemberists, and even Decibully. MY VOTE? The White Stripes. Not the Raconteurs, though they are newer on the scene. If they played more of their early stuff, the Stripes would fit in PERFECTLY at a Stones show!

The Strokes for sure

I’m only half serious about some of these – but you’ll propbably guess the wrong half:

• Os Mutantes
• The Cars with Todd Rundgren
• The SF Mime Troupe
• Donald Rumsfeld
• TV on the Radio
• The Flaming Lips
• Ringo Starr and his Travelling Allstar Band
• Any Rolling Stones cover band
• Oprah
• Bill and Hill
• Whatever’s left of the Grateful Dead
• Whatever’s left of the Wailers
• The Secret Machines
• Tony Bennett

OR the Stones could just play a 3-1/2 hour set and f$%k the openers. I vote for a full acoustic set — a real set, not just three songs — followed by a long-ass electric set.

The Colour. Hands Down.

The Stooges. Mick and Iggy could dance together.

HAVE YOU ALL LOST YOU MINDS???!!!
fall out boy??? pearl jam??? please God no!!!
BECK…BECK…BECK!!!
and JACK WHITE in any form..w/Meg or Raconteurs,
Maybe Ryan Adams
or the ultimate, but improbable BOB DYLAN…i wanna be BOB DYLAN!!

Beck? – YES
Jack White/Stripes – OKAY
Bob Dylan – YES YES YES.
Ryan Adams? – ZZZZZZzzzzzz….
Bump Band – YES!

KINGS OF LEON
WOLFMOTHER
or THE RACONTEURS

take the best warped tour band….. The academy is….

The Colour! Rock, not Suck.

The Colour

http://www.myspace.co m/thecolour

The Whigs — out of Atlanta

How about The Monkees? You know, hey, hey, we’re The Monkees.

My Morning Jacket, Arcade Fire and The Raconeurs. That’d be a great show even without the Stones.

the colour

jackie greene – give him a listen

DPT

It has to be THE STROKES! the best rock band around, they could warm up the audience for the Stones. You know it. THEY ROCK!

the colour!!! they bring the ROCK!!!

THE COLOUR

THE COLOUR

The Colour
Giant Drag-although the stage might be too big for a 2 piece.
new pornos would be good too.

The Black keys can open for Radio Head but they would better open for the old ass Stones. The Keys might remind every one of the importance of blues/roots music when creating “original” music and show the stones the youthful energy that once made them great.

The Colour! Is the hue damn ROCK! The Colour! The Colour!

A young new great band called
KISS should open for them…

candlebox
http://www.candleboxrocks.c om

The Dirtbombs baby!

How about the Hell’s Angels? Just offer them some beer. After they sign on maybe you get Santana, CSN, The Dead, the remaining members of Jefferson Airplane (especially Marty Balin), and a Gram Parsons cover band. Of course the Parsons cover band would have to play some Flying Burrito Brothers songs. One big traveling Altamont!!!! Sounds good to me. Maybe Mick Taylor can join the Stones just for this leg of the tour. Can’t wait!!!

Definitely The Colour. Those guys are insane!

THE STROKES

I say no opener. See if these old rockers can pull a marathon.

I think The Killers on a show in October when they release their new CD because they are happening right now, and if anything shows from their new CD its that Old beats and lyrics happen with new kids and adults. I think ArcadeFire should open in September because since they released their latest CD it’s been a GREAT release, just don’t mess this up, PLEASE

Wolfmother.

Scissor Sisters.

I reckon they should give Jamie Lidell a call

Weird Al.

He has a new single out.

UMPHREY’S MCGEE!!!

Black Keys!!!

Drive-By Truckers

GNARLS BARKLEY, THE KILLERS, THOM YORKE…THAT IS A KILLER LINEUP!

black keys

Wolfmother or the Raconteurs. They have the energy of the Rolling Stones. Seriously

Hmm how about Grandmaster Flash warms up the crowd, then throws it over to Method Man, who rocks the MIC who then Parlays into the GO Team?

How about Paul McCartney & Wings? Or they could even have ELO perform a reunion set. That’d put some butter on the toast.

Queens of the Stone Age

the stones shouldn’t be touring anymore. they were horrible at the super bowl and shouldn’t be allowed to go on a stage anymore… period

Love the Stones, see ‘em every tour…but c’mon Mick! Get a band with a singer that’ll blow Jagger out of the water to make Jagger focus more on his vocals than chick neckin’ around the stage.

RACONTEURS!!!!!!! JACK WHITE AND MICK –IT DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT!

I hear that if the opening bands want to stay and watch the Stones’ set, they have to PAY to do so. This is obviously not the same band who once turned down the opportunity to be Knighted by the Queen of England because of the way they were initially persecuted for their Rock & Roll sound/image.

It may be a “Right of Passage” to open for the Stones, but you still have to pay the toll.

How Un-Rock & Roll can you be?

Anyone who’s seen both Arctic Monkeys and the Raconteurs know that the Raconteurs will be a much better candidate for the Stone’s opening act. I was bored at the Arctic Monkey’s show, whereas, I was rockin’ out all night to Jack White and his awesome band. Definitely the Raconteurs should open for the Stones. Hell, they might even upstage the Stones.

I nominate “7 NATIONS”.

My Morning Jacket, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Raconteurs

GOODING!! GOODING!!

The Colour of course.

The Trews, another great Canadian band!

Sonic Youth is a good idea.
What about Cracker?
Or Jethro Tull?
Or Fats Domino?

Pearl Jam

Corporate cash cow. What truly serious band would even want to be within a 1000 miles of this obvious corporate controlled lounge act? Sadly, too many.

The Who….to show once and for all to the dumb ass RS editors that lick the Stone’s ass, that The Who have and will always kick the Stones ass…especially live! Keith can’t hold Pete’s jock!

(self promotion complete)

Musik Pirate and Fortune, I can tell you both from experience that Wolf Mother, Arctic Monkeys and We Are Scientist rock live. I had the privilege of seeing all three of these bands in June in Atlanta. One three separate days. I also saw Tapes ‘n Tapes that weekend as well. Seeing Wolf Mother again at Lollapalooza, as well as a baker’s dozen of other bands, then seeing The Walkmen at the end of August, as well Wu Tang, then seeing We Are Scientist. Twice. In September in Florida. Then seeing Tapes ‘n Tapes again in October in St. Augustine.

P.S. Bruno, Dave Matthews Band blows worse than Bon Jovi. I’d rather see Loverboy or Klymaxx live than Dave Matthews.

Kings of Leon or My Morning Jacket. Perhaps the Kings could show the Stones what they originally were.

Drive-By Truckers

They should have The Hives open for them. Howlin’ Pelle does such a great job copying Mick’s moves (he’s better than Mick) that Stones fans would get a kick out of it. Not to mention their music kicks ass.

A new band should open for them. Robby Roadsteamer.

I’ll say it again…The Stones should just play a 4 hour show and f$%k openers. I vote for a full acoustic set —- a real hour+ set, not just 3-4 songs —- followed by a long-ass electric set. Get Thievery Corp to play between sets, invitge a special guest or two to each show (Mick Taylor anyone?!) and bam, there’s your BEST EVER Rolling Stones show.

KINGS OF LEON. CAN’T MAKE OUT A WORD THEY SAY BUT LOVE THE VIBE. VERY EARLY R&R FEELING.

Alright, if we’re just looking for a rocking set, We Are Scientists, Metric, Flogging Molly, or MUSE would be fantastic. I maintain that the perfect fit would be The White Stripes. And I also believe that there SHOULD be an opening band, because The Stones alone aren’t worth the ticket price. Yeah, I said it, and I definitely meant it.

“The Stones alone aren’t worth the ticket price.”

NO BAND is worth what they charge. I know it’s a free market, but it’s not like they need the money. I’d rather they skipped all the pyrotechnics and lights and just toured with a decent sound and light rig and just rocked! The best part of their tours for years by far has been the stripped down set in the middle. And if they just did that sort of show, they’d be worth something more than the average band for sure!

Brooke Hogan

The Strokes!! (They’re opening for Tom Petty for God’s sake!)

Metric opened for them at Madison Square Garden and they were awe-inspiring.

White Stripes
Kings of Leon
Flaming Lips

Kings of Leon
Joni Mitchell
The Pussycat Dolls
Kelly Osbourne
Ashlee Simpson

Erasure

Plain White T’s

LLB

The Animal Liberation Orchestra–they do a killer version of Beast of Burden!
Wolfmother–b/c they mofo’in rock!
The Mars Volta–to scare the elderly fans!
My Morning Jacket–the future of music

Cheap Trick….best new album in 25 yrs

I’d pay any ticket price to see the ‘69 Stones. I suggest that, instead of worrying about opening acts, they simply get the Bloods or the Crips to work as security, to bring back some of that old dangerous energy.

Neil Diamond

Neil Diamond or Kenny Rogers

dan malloy

what about Michael Jackson… hahahahahahaha..

just to see the look on Jaggers face… just tell him it was MIchael Kohl’s idea and then Mick will agree to go along with it.

Seriously though? Sam Roberts would get my vote, at least for any Canadian dates.

when dealing with the band that made the best album of all-time:
“exile on main street” ,it is a hard choice. So I will play along .
the black crowes

WU TANG CLAN!!!

Keith Richard’s liver should open up.

White Stripes! raconteurs suck

wolfmother

BABABOUIE AND RATSO PROJECT—no doubt about it

The Yardbirds…
I just saw them play at the Pittsburgh Blues Festival and they were unreal. Ben King (21 year old kick ass guitarist) is the next great Yardbird

A re-united Kyuss.

if kings of leon can open for U2 they can open for anyone…

Perfect choices:

The Raconteurs
Buddy Guy (happy 70th b-day, BTW)
The Flaming Lips
The New Pornographers
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
TV on the Radio

or my personal favorite…

GWAR

A great young act such as John Mayer would be nice to open. How about the Hives?

The openers for the stones should be the DMB, theyve worked together before in the late 90’s, and it would be awesome for them to do it again.

Black Label Society
Mercyful Fate
King’s X
Jon Butler Axis
Government Mule

Before i post my comment i wanna let all the talk show smart asses know that the stones kick more ass than any 20 year old rapper, and i bet mick jagger could take snoop dogg on a surgery day, go to hell anti-stonemetics.
o yea trey should open that would be kickass

Stones lost me after Some Girls, and I was still in High School. They’re just corporate darlings. Nothing more. Any band that aspires for the same should open for them. Back Street Boys, maybe?

Guns N’ Roses of course… unless they have their own US Tour by then… in which case why not give Towers Of London a go!! Take the most anti-social band in the UK to America!!!

Drive By Truckers

North Mississippi All-Stars

The idiot Paul McCartney could open Rolling Stones Shows

Ian McLagan and the Bump Band – local heroes and a damned good set of ditties (that’s ditties!)

gomez

The Stones do NOT need an opener…

bands that are this established should be playing 3 hour shows of thier OWN to off set the outrageous ticket prices they charge..

as many fans as the stones pack in, there is no one band that everyone would agree on, so just have none.

Sam Roberts

The Electric Shades of Blue, from Lopez Island, Washington! They’re all 16 years old and amazingly good … they defintely would give Stones’ fans a buzz!

Speaking of getting a buzz, I know they’re hardly new, but the Pretty Things would also be able to blow the Rolling Stones off the stage.

And I’ll second the recommendation for Sam Roberts, or fellow Canadians Sloan (who opened for the Stones somewhat recently in Boston; anyone see that show?) …

As for the Who? Forget it! The Stones should open for them, not the other way around.

sonic youth
the hives
flaming lips
beck
smashing pumpkins (if their reunion is actually happening)

or…

BUCKETH EAD.

the academy is…, taking back sunday, the pink spiders, white stripes,or audioslave

Wilco. if they’re available !

The Living End. They did it once this year, why not do it again.

YEah, Wolfmother

Guns n’ roses ofcourse!They are the best!

Reunited New York Dolls….Sammi Yaffa from Hanoi Rocks on bass, they can still put on a hell of a show.

The Colour would be awesome with The ‘Stones!

Definitly Guns N’ Roses, they’re just coming back to the States now. They were going to open for the Stones for two (or was it three) shows in Germany, but the shows had to be postponed due to Keith’s accident. Reunite GNR and the Stones for the first time in over a decade and a half.

I like to see Wilco in there….I would definately go to see the Stones with Jeff Tweedy and co opening. My pic would still be Trey though. I wasn’t able to get to a show with Trey opening, and I’m kicking myself for it. Trey with anyone as a band opening for the Stones would be great. Of course I’d love to see Jon, Page, and Mike with him, but that’s obviously not going to happen.

Eminem. Mutual exposure benefits for great talents.

MUstard Plug All the wayyyyyyy!!!
Mustard plug should opn the show!!

And one thing the stones rule and Douglas your an idiot
not Pual

Tea Leaf Green

Although the old boys might have lost a step or two with age, they can still rock out. It is simply incredible they sound like they do. Inhuman. Come on… $100 to see the best RR band of all time? Well worth it even if they are past their peak. And keith… will never die. Guns n’ roses would be sweet if axel hadn’t become a huge tool… sweet cornrows. Their show in 69 or whatever would have been the best show in history. I would loose one… no two fingers to have been at that show. Next best thing… Velvet revolver!!!
PS The Stones are not only legends because of their fantastic music, but because they have remained as unaffected by fame as possible while still being rock stars. Any other band would have spiralled out of control with the fame those guys have had for years and years. Liverpool trash couldn’t handle it like the stones.

Axle

I’ll be at the show in Louisville on Sept. 29 and I’d love to see:

- Pearl Jam
- The Arcade Fire
- Broken Social Scene
- The White Stripes
- Gnarls Barkley
- Tom Petty

Right on “Brandon Kennedy.” although pearl jam would be awsome, they would need to be a headline band.

I dunno but I want tickets

FOR THE LAST TIME THE ROLLING STONES ARE NOT CORPORATE SELLOUTS.
I’VE SEEN THE BAND EIGHT TIMES NOT INCLUDING SOLO KEEF AND WOODY OUTINGS. PEOPLE WHO SLAG OFF THE STONES ARE JEALOUS THAT THEIR FAVORITE BANDS CAN ONLY LAST A YEAR. NOBODY SLAGS OFF B.B. KING,
CLINT EASTWOOD CAUSE THEY’RE PAST SIXTY. AND FOR THE FINAL TIME STOP COMPARING THEIR MUSIC TODAY FROM WHAT THEY DID 25-YEARS AGO.
HEY, BABE RUTH DID NOT HIT A HOME RUN EVERY TIME HE WENT TO THE PLATE SO STOP EXPECTING “EXILE ON MAIN ST. PART 2.” THE STONES LAST 5 OR 6 RELEASES ARE STILL BETTER THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY HOT. AND AS FAR AS OPENING ACTS HOW ABOUT ANOTHER BAND FROM THE ORIGINAL BRITISH INVASION…THE PRETTY THINGS! NO NOT THE DIRTY PRETTY THINGS BUT THE ORGINAL PRETTY THINGS…AND IF YOU NEVER HEARD OF THEM…SHAME ON YOU IF YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A REAL MUSIC FAN.
OR THE YARDBIRDS OR THE STOOGES OR DKT/MC5…REAL STONES FANS WOULD REALLY DIG ANY OF THESE GREAT BANDS.

Just like I paid FIFTEEN DOLLARS in 1975 to see THE GREATEST ROCK-N-ROLL BAND OF ALL TIME, and THAT was EXPENSIVE back then, I’d be ONE HAPPY CAMPER to be able to pay a HUNDRED DOLLARS today to see them again! (and I thought it would be the last chance to get to see them in 1975) LONG LIVE KEEF and MICK and that GIANT PINK DING-DONG that blew up out of the stage!

Except for Charlie’s grey hair, they don’t even LOOK much different than they did in 1975.

CHUCK BERRY would be the absolute best opener for the Stones. Years ago, they were on the same ticket with him opening in europe.

Time to return the favor. What an 80th birthday present for the Real Rock N Roll King.

when i saw the stones last year the opening act was pearl jam and i was so let down by their performance. the band also paled in comparison to the stones show in general. the only thing that was worse than seeing pearl jam before the stones was that eddie vedder came out and sang on ‘wild horses’. this was just unbelievable, one of the best songs in the stones canon and they allow a duet with eddie vedder? come one now! if any new young band is to open they should at least be able to rival the playing or showmanship/energy of the stones. who is that though? the only young, exciting bands that i can think of are the raconteurs or coldplay. the raconteurs are great players with terrific music and coldplay have an energetic show as well as good music. then again there’s always the killers too with some awesome music and a flair for show. why couldn’t they get a big star to open for them? they dwarf all other acts that they could even have the other big draw, U2, open for them and they would be the bigger attraction. i would love to see bowie open for them though, that would be a great show.

I think Wolfmother would be a good one. Or how about Walter Trout and the Radicals..
Ya i like the two..

the Stones and the Ballbusters
would be a great show !
the Ballbusters have been playing
together 20 years, and have been
thru much tragedies,yet never
sold out,it would be ”karmic
justice” if Mick or Keef,let
Worcester. Massachusetts ”The Ballbusters” OPEN FOR THEM…!
Google Search–”THE BALLBUSTERS”

my band should open.

i am going to see the stones in chicago, im only 12 and this is my first stones concert. ive seen cheap trick and i would love to see them open the stones. ive been searching to see who opens and i cant find it.

stones, are the best badn ever to step foot on this earth
no doubt about it, hands down

but i think a good old guy should open for them
mcartney, or david gilmor
im only 13 but i am the biggest stones fan ever
look at my nexopia

se arch

paint.it.black

I think that an amazing opener for the stones would be Aerosmith..getting the stones and Aerosmith together would be one great fuckin rock and roll concert!!

LENNY KRAVITZ or Kanye……………

Jet or Wolfmother.

WHY?

- Great entertainers
- Excellent musicians
- Modest
- Bloody good looking

ME!!!

hahaha i know their tour has already started and i dont know who ended up opening for them but it should either be the arctic monkeys, the trews, black stone cherry, or my morning jacket

hahaha i know their tour has already started and i dont know who ended up opening for them but it should either be the arctic monkeys, the trews, black stone cherry, or my morning jacket

haha this tour is already going on and i dont no who ended up opening for them, but it should either be the arctic monkeys, the trews, black stone cherry, or My Morning Jacket.

actually i take that back all those bands r better then the stones and the stones should stop because now they just suck. and they charge u like 200 bucks for a seat that is about 2 football fields away from the stage.

wow i would say the Rolling Stones are like the greatest band in history. They make ovr 150 Million on just trips around the world preforming! haha i wish i was a famous rock star
