    A band called Big Business opened up for Tool in 2009 and they were god awful. I've never seen an opening band that sucked as much as them.

    I'm starting to see a trend with Tools opening acts :lol:

    i agree. I honestly think Ben Harpers fanbase would be about 6 people if it wasnt for the PJ seal of approval... if members of PJ told their 'fans' that they liked Nigerian trumpeter Kino Von Basske his sales would probably increase by some 179% so that people on here could 'like' the same things as Ed


    so agree...hes not bad just zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Hmmmm....so many bad acts, but can only choose 1....

    Circa Survive opening for Muse a while back. I'd rather jab a pencil in my eye then see/hear them again.

    Another Tool horrible opening act....

    Went to see them at Red Rocks this June and some rapper named Dalek opened. I couldn't understand a word he was saying because his backing music was so loud and distorted. Some people sitting in front of us actually had their fingers in their ears. Rappers at Tool shows is a big no-no.

    I've seen a lot of other bad opening acts but I can't recall their names at this time.

    Also I saw Skid Row open for Aerosmith WAY back in 1989 or so. That was bad.

    Can't rememebr the band but whoever opened for Korn at the FU Center in philly in 2000?

    Also there was this band that opened up for Jerry Cantrell in '02 (For the Degradation Trip tour) that was really bad. There were like 4 or 5 bands including Madball and the band that William DuVall was in) that opened up for him.

    Bella Fleck opening for DMB at the Vet in '99 was bad.

    I remember seeing the Beastie Boys about 5 years ago and they had a dog act opening for them. This year Neil Hamburger (comedian) opened for Faith No More.

    I have no opinion towards Ben Harper either way, but it's pretty true that people here seem to jump on bandwagons for bands that Ed likes. And, God forbid you don't...
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    I agree with sonic youth. Saw them open in Los Angeles in 06 And I honestly couldn't decipher one song from the other. It was sheer reverb for 45 minutes. It sounded less like music and more like broken equipment.

    2 cents opening for Korn. They were getting pissed at the crowd cause no body was moshing and going nuts. They stopped and yelled at the crowd asking if we were at an emo show. Then they said they were going to play a Pantera cover (strength beyond strength), and wanted the crowd to go insane. like two rows of people respectfully started a mini mosh. Crowd went nuts for Korn though.

    Foxy shazam opening for Hole (courtney love). Just a really bizarre band that I thought was bland.
