aic opened for VR on their last tour...i don't know. if i went to a gnr/aic show, i cant say unequivocally that aic should be the opener. they are more fresh now than gnr and people take them more seriously.

And how many albums did the new AIC sell? Who exactly is taking them seriously?

That being said, AIC blew VR off the stage when I saw them in Atlanta. I think AIC is appropriate. Similar audiences...similar situations as far as band dynamics....no Slash vs no Layne but they still kick some ass. That would work. Outside of them, I really can't think of a good fit. Axl is too quirky and demanding. He is best left on his own. No opening act would be just fine with me. Just play some rocking tunes and hang out for an hour or so before it starts.
