Scorpions / Priest potential tour

[Saladbar]

the crowds just want to see Maiden, or a package deal such as they did with Halford/Queensryche/Maiden.

That was an awesome show.
Another was Motorhead/Dio/Maiden.

But do you honestly think Gamma Ray, who is an established headlining act in Europe, would go back to being an opening act at this point in their career? I don't see a band that's been around that long picking up any more of a fanbase by opening for a band like Maiden.

I think any band would love to open for Maiden. It is like the crown jewel for any metal act. I think Gamma Ray would gain so many new fans over here in the states due to lots of lazy Americans who have no clue that there are bands like this still playing. beleive me. I know and have met tons of people who have no clue that there are still great metal acts playing. I think any band of any size would love to play a huge arena. I think only a few bands though would win over the audience though, since opening for any large act is a dangerous thing and that no one wants to see you play other than a few fans.

Gamma Ray opened shows for Maiden a few years back in Europe.
It would be great exposure for them in the States.
