Good idea! I think Sun Domingo should be the choice for the Southeastern USA.

If not SD, then Oasis would be the noise I'd want to hear.

Also mine 2 greatest bands OASIS-->U2.
But I don;t think they'll open the show. Why should they? They're having a UK summer tour now. They will fill the stadiums thereselves especially in England. And in US they're not waiting on a band like Oasis --> they have limp bizkit and green day.

I don't think the U2 guys would get along with the Gallagers

According to an article by Neil McCormick, U2 and Oasis got on like a house on fire during the PopMart tour. As McCormick's known Bono since they were kids, I have a bad habit of trusting what he says

I bet they ended up fighting,lolsallycinnamon78 said:
it's well known that Oasis sometimes leaves the stage after a few songs ( I went to see Oasis here in Toronto back in 2002 and they left the stage like after 70 minutes, fans (,ncluding me were upset!)
U2 would never do that, Oasis would support the U2 tour ONLY if the Gallagers are more mature than a few years ago and if they stop fighting in the hotels,lol

That's such a misnomer about Oasis. Yes the Gallaghers have had their differences. 70 minutes is far longer of a set than they would have even opening for U2 anyway lol. They're far more relaxed now that they're older than they were in the past.
They only leave the stage if the "fans" are cunts and throw shit at them. Sure they have fought in the past but the 2 times they've opened for U2 they've been on their best behaviour.

The Gallaghers and U2 get on fine. There was a whole article [and cover] in Propaganda during Popmart about it.
U2 + Oasis = Fantastic Show.

Can't see Oasis supporting U2 in the UK 'cos their tour is around the same time as U2 are reported to be in the UK. I have tickets for Oasis on the 2nd July - if this clashes with U2 they will be on ebay.

One band that Bono likes is Black Motorcycle Rebel Club. Because of Bono, I bought some BMRC - and it is GREAT stuff! While they haven't been rumored to be anywhere near U2, I'd love to see them open for U2!! Far better than Radiohead (snooze) or Oasis (ego). And I fear Coldplay is a bit too popular right now for U2 - but they'd be another good one.
I've heard Scissor Sisters rumored. I wasn't horribly impressed with them on SNL, but some fans swear by them, so I might give them another chance. Opening for U2 would be that chance and great exposure for them.
However, if I had a wish, it would be BMRC.

Oasis are U2 fans, so they would be more than willing to support U2 (not that I like Oasis much).

Are these people serious? Why would Clay open for U2? U2 tend to pick artists with similar styles. There are some exceptions, but over the years, most bands blend with U2. I think poor Clay would be booed off the stage if he opened for U2.
Also, while Clay does have a certain charm about him, I find he's very much like Josh Groban. Both Aiken and Groban have fantastic voices - technically far more powerful and stronger than Bono's. However, what they lack is depth, passion and soul. Bono is a good singer - even in his JT years. But his soul and passion that shines through his voice makes him one of the best rock singers ever. Until Aiken and Groban grasp this, they will always be good, but not great. "Good" is enough to sometimes sell millions of albums, as Aiken and Groban have done - but it's rarely enough to be remembered for long.

Oasis is a definite NO on the UK tour, this has already been confirmed by Oasis and their managment, however they are in discussions for US tour dates around the 2nd leg after Oasis' UK tour and likely European dates.
As for BRMC they are also not likely, they dont even have a record deal at the moment (they were dropped by Virgin months ago) and don't have a drummer as he quit the group.

just one slight correction. BRMC wasn't dropped by Virgin, they asked to leave after the label refused to release a second single from their last record.. and got out of their deal.
they have been actively shopping for a new home for months and have plenty of offers on the table as they are very popular within the industry. Last I heard they were just narrowing it down to who was the best fit, but that may have been delayed with the fallout of the drummer as they had to regroup to figure out their next move.
its very unlikely they would support b/c its doubtful they will have everything in place in time.. but i wouldn't rule out second US leg as the new BRMC will be out this year. long shot as they will have their own agenda.. but certainly a good one to consider.
