Opening Acts for the upcoming USA 2012 Tour?

[warriorangel]

fos daddy, your comment about Klaus was too funny. But for some reason I can't reply to it like the rest of you with your comment and mine together. How come?

[patticdeck]

@ warriorangel, I cannot reply llke that either, not sure why.

Chickenfoot would have been great. I checked their schedule and there is nothing scheduled in the southeast or anywhere near it. Not even Florida and everyone loves to go there, I thought.

Bryan Adams.. forget it.. i thinks he play sold out show and Scorpions could not here in North America.

Those band should be good opener: Queensryche, Accept, Saxon, Airbourne, Bonfire, Anvil, Helix, Sebastian bach...

Styx,Reo Speedwagon and Ted Nugent will be touring together this summer..so you can take those 3 off the board as possible special guest for the Scorpions...the band chose is getting smaller..

it's really starting to look like MSG and maybe Dokken as the opening act..

Scorpions and Boston would be great !

It won't happen Boston never opens for anyone and since this is the farewell tour for the Scorpions they will not open for any band..

A few years ago when the Scorps were not retiring in would of said heck yeah to this touring package

Just having some fun on this one , since both are touring this year and sick of hearing what hair band is going to open up . I'd prefer a all Scorpions night but that won't happen . Boston had to open up for Styx (yuk) there last tour in 08, With that circus act that spins on the keyboards trying to sing deyoungs songs is just annoying , Thank god i never have to see them again .
Dennis Deyoung and his new band blows them away . It's what Styx wish they could be .
.

Styx opened for Boston on the 2008 tour...Boston has not opened for anyone since their first album came out back in 1976.

Yup your right , I thought it was the other way around for the midwest dates as it should Boston did play last . Well can't wait for a announcement on both tours . Should be a great summer .

Scorpions and Europe
Boston with Survivor now that J Jamison is back

Dear Scorpions,
You guys are a CLASS ACT. You don't need anyone to open for you. You guys can play 2 1/2 to 3 hours per show. Pleass no DOKKEN, I am not sure I can stomach them again. How about previously said Lenny Kravitz would be totally awesome! And how about the Cult, you know they still Rock!
I will go to your shows no matter who opens for you guys. I am there for you and nobody else.

[warriorangel]

There is nothing better than a great young rocker who would probably love to open for Scorps....James Durbin. You really need to check him out if you haven't already. He practically changed things on American Idol by bringing metal back!

By the way, do you really think Scorpions could do 2 1/2 hours anymore? Really?

Lita Ford has a new cd comming out and will be touring this summer.............

2 1/2 to 3 hours shows are out..Klaus could never do those type shows for a whole tour ..maybe a one off show like back in 2006 at Wacken...

i agree with Lenny Kravitz...

I think Lenny would be fantastic!
Side note:He made a visit to MJ Guitars a couple years back when he was playing Munich.

Just listened to Michael and Robin McCauley playing at the House of Blues where Kottak sat in that night. It was Lovedrive! I saw it posted on Facebook.

Watch on youtube.com

MSG would be fantastic opening for Scorpions! After Herman is done with Michael anyway. Unless they are going to make it an official thing; Michael, Herman and Francis. In that case, whatever band they are, should open or special guest.

[warriorangel]

Looks like Michael Schenker is only booked up until May 16th!
Also, it looks like the Japan tour will have Herman but NOT have Francis!! ???

[warriorangel]

It seems that the webmasters have made a bit of a mistake on Herman's and Michael's websites, it will be Francis on tour.
