Possible opening bands

[AxlsMainMan]

They should get the tragically hip for Toronto their tour starts a few days after the show. The singer is dying of cancer and is touring one last time. They are huge here in Canada

They would be the perfect opener for Toronto. Certainly a better choice than Billy Talent..

Billy Talent aren't a bad choice. They're huge in Canada, have a new album coming out, and they've shown they're willing to win over hostile crowds (i.e. playing HeavyTO).

The Hip would be awesome but I don't see them wanting to play second fiddle on their final tour with Gordie dealing with cancer. Their last tour should be all about them.

Huge is a bit of an overstatement. Rival Sons, Glorious Sons, or Monster Truck are all infinitely bigger (and better) bands, IMO. I honestly was blissfully oblivious to them even still existing until I heard they were opening for Guns'

I was forced to listen to a terrible rock station in Calgary while working out of the office a couple of weeks ago and this band came on and I couldn't remember which band it was that had such an annoying try hard lead singer, then the accounment happened for the rest of the opening bands - oh fuck, Billy Talent. I guess we won't have to rush down for the opening band after we land in Toronto that day...

It's not an overstatement at all. None of those have sold nearly as many albums as Billy Talent (whose last 3 albums were #1 here). Billy Talent does arenas on their own and have sold out the ACC several times. I like Monster Truck myself but they're not doing that. They're a festival act whose biggest chart showing was 6th and currently opening for (ugh) Nickleback. Glorious Sons/Rival Sons aren't anywhere near as big either. If BT has a style you don't like that's one thing but in terms of success they're one of the biggest acts we've got.

Skrillex?!

I pity the poor bastards that have to sit through that in Houston.

I last heard Skrillex when two children of 8 years old played it me as they said 'it was really cool'. I had no idea adults would ever listen to something as basic as that!

huh. yeah i hate that shit too. id show up late.

Dude....I just listened to Skrillex for the first time. Wtf? Isn't this a rock show? I usually don't complain, after all, I'm getting to see my favorite band in Houston and New Orleans in the same week. But I expected at least a "band" to open...not a DJ playing techno. Oh well, I'll be showing up late to Houston for sure.

On the other hand...the Cult in N.O.  I like that!

 

[Eazy E]

Billy Talent?      I would have much preferred Lenny Kravitz....   Never really cared for their music that much, the best thing about their band is that they are named after the Hard Core Logo guitar player.

Has anyone seen the opening band for Philly?  Seems to be missing from the list, unless I just missed it.

They are good. They are AC/DC's support in Europe.

God bless the Club Box.

[dont_damn_me]

Billy Talent is an excellent choice. Kicks the shit out of generic rock radio of Monster Truck....just need my tix still, coming up soon now..

[Spirit]

David Brent to open in the UK when they come there would have been both hilarious and genius.

[Sosso]

I would love to see Buckethead as one of the opening acts?

[zod]

I'm still hoping we get AIC in Seattle.  Out of all the openers so far, that's been my favourite.    I noticed they skipped san fran/seattle when posting openers to the website.  AIC played Seattle last night, so I figured if they're opening Seattle, they might want to have waited until after the sold out their own headlining show...

Someone said there are 2 opening bands in Philly. Anyone else hear that?
