Guns N Roses opened for the Rolling Stones!
Quireboys and Dan Reed also opened for Rolling Stones.

I saw Pink Cream 69 open for Europe and Enuff z Nuff open for Poison.

First proper gig I ever saw. Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour. KD wouldn't have been most people's choice for a debut. After that, for me the only way was up.

My second proper gig was Little Angels opening for Queensryche.

Was it Little Angels or Baby Animals. Baby Animals had a great album at the time.
It was Little Angels. Stockholm 1993.

I saw Baby Animals opening for someone a few years before that. Bryan Adams, Roxette, someone like that.
It was Bryan Adams, I saw Baby Animals open for him.

Others:
Brother Firetribe (Journey)
Shiraz Lane (The Darkness)
Shiraz Lane (Deep Purple)
Britny Fox & Great White (Alice Cooper)
Paganini (Motley Crue)

Though I didn't see it, Adam Bomb opened recently for Scorpions here, in an arena.

I saw those too. And the following year or two, Cooper had The Almighty opening for him. They opened for everyone in the early 1990s, I saw them opening for Maiden too and could have seen them at least once more as an opener.
