Good Openers (rock, member, show, bands)

TheBig3KilledMyRainDog · 04-25-2005, 07:42 AM

Has anyone gone to a show and actually enjoyed the opening band?

The only ones I can think of (who I hadn't heard already) were

The Prodigals (Opening for Dropkick Murphy's)
Wildhearts (Darkness)

Anyone else?

Yeah, I normally enjoy the opening band! Apart from when its a band like New Found Glory (*Shudder* That was awful...)

The Bled were a great opening band, they had a lot of energy and really got the whole crown into it.. So were 36 Crazyfists, that was great. Farse were alright, they had a good stage presence, but not something Id choose to listen to normally..

The Like and the Ditty Bops (Tori Amos)

Oh theres a couple. But mostly New Zealand bands.

I remember the D4 opened for Velvet Revolver. D4 are crowd pleasers.

Deicide opened for a Slayer show I saw fairly recently they were quite good

a group called All That Remains opened for GWAR and they were very awesome, they were totally into it..

actually yes. haha...i went to a silverstein show.....(youll find out why). among others, underminded opened for them. that was great. i cant stand silverstein though. the bought way too far into the scene trend.

i saw CKY once. fireball ministry and the knives opened for them. the knives i didnt like as much, but fireball ministry i enjoyed.

i saw killswitch engage. it was a big show...a local two stage venue used both stages and switched between the two for each band. (ten bands total)

theyre openers included as i lay dying, the black dhalia murder, the haunted, and a few more. good openers there.

ahh...underminded also opened for the vandals once. other openers for that band included the voodoo glow skulls.

The Showdown opened for Blindside...Halestorm was an alright opener.
In Flames opened the main stage at ozzfest but those were all good bands anyway.
