Yes, I believe they would. I am sure a lot of it has to do with Guns n Roses. They have a very long history of flaking on shows, starting whenever they feel like it, and tons of erratic behavior on tour. I don’t see that as something Pearl Jam wants to get involved in.
I do think Pearl Jam would volunteer to open for U2 again.

I think I heard a brief snippet from Kim Thayil on Sirius once where he said his favorite tour was Lollapalooza '92 and his least favorite was touring with GnR and "lets just leave it at that."
Cornell also I think said that Duff and Slash were great guys that just wanted to play but for some reason (Axl), alot of times they weren't able to do that.
Not sure what time frame Soundgarden opened for them, but Kelly Curtis would likely have intimate knowledge of the pitfalls of being on tour with GnR from the SG guys I would think.
