    That would not bother me a bit. They put on a good show.

    They do for sure and they tour quite a bit. A lot with Collective Soul. Hell get all 3 of em on 1 bill and call it the Ed, Ed and Eddie tour.

    i have to agree with that. besides kings of leon as my 1st pick i would have to go with social distortion, the duke spirit, mudhoney, or brmc. all those would be bad ass.

    If I had my choice it would be KOL. They fucking rock and are the reason I went to Virginia Beach (ended up being a sick show anyway). I also saw Mudhoney back in '98 and would love to see them again.

    What about:
    No Doubt (I think they are back)
    The Vines
    The Fratellis
    The Hives

    Other acts that have been mentioned:
    Cornell
    Ben Harper
    The Racontours
    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
    Live
    Blind Melon
    Arctic Monkeys

    I'd love all of those but don't see any of it happening (except maybe The Monkeys or Motorcycle Club).

    I honestly don't think PJ needs an opener but I do like it when the Kings play. If it's not them or someone of their caliber, it should be no one.

    Having said that I thought that Ted Leo and the Pharmacists were pretty good.

    i know they are too big most likely but, i think the raconteurs would be absolutely awesome to open up for Pearl Jam...........Jack White is ridiculous
    9/1/2000 - E-Centre, Camden, 'Sometimes' started and I was hooked...

    The Raconteurs
    The Black Keys
    Back Door Slam
    KOL is too big, but who knows
    same with MMJ
    I'll just throw in We are Scientists because that would be awesome

    Three

    MMJ and Ben Harper have already opened for them. I wouldn't mind seeing someone different. I always thought Queens of the Stone Age would be cool opener.

    When they come back to Australia and New Zealand, I'm hoping they get Liam Finn and EJB to open for them. I went and saw Liam and EJs gig in Sydney last month and was totally blown away!!! AWESOME!!!!

    Do what Rush does: "An Evening With..." format. Play for 3 hours with a 20 minute intermission, no opening act required.

    Longer set and avoids curfew issues in places like Mansfield.

    Mudhoney and Chris Cornell solo would be my first choices
  • cincybearcatcincybearcat Posts: 16,580

    Intermissions are for old people.

    Arctic Monkeys
    We Are Scientists
    Stereophonics

    great suggestions. they're all pretty big in the UK and Europe, but never really broke in the US. kings of leon were pretty much the perfect opening act; it's going to be hard to top them. modest mouse is one of the best live bands around, but i think they might be a little too big. same with muse.

    these are some that i would not mind seeing:

    Ryan Adams & The Cardinals
    The Draft
    Editors
    B.R.M.C.
    Interpol
    Minus The Bear
    Arcade Fire
    Ra Ra Riot
    Caribou

    i don't know how those last few would sit with PJ fans, but what the hell.

    amen to Butch Walker.
    Willie Nelson has been in the game too long to be opening for anybody.

    The more I listen to Wolf Parade the more I think they'd make a great fit.

    And The Arcade Fire would be amazing. Two of my favorite bands in one night.
