    Chris Cornell solo would be great!

    Ben Harper or Chris Cornell would make my day!

    I'm worried it's gunna be MCR just because every horrid place is taking them as some sort of God! (See DownloadFestival.co.uk for proof)


    But personally, any band would be nice from my point of view. But if I had to choose - Blind Melon FTW. :)

    Slightly off-topic, but who supported PJ at Wembley in 2000 ? I can't remember so they obviously made a great impression...
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    I think Ben Harper was excellent when I went to see the Chili Peppers - although the support to him "!!!" (pron tk tk tk or something) got bottles thrown at them! Wouldn't surprise me seeing him there.
    :D Rock on!!!! :D
    Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.

    The best support act i ever saw was Janes Addiction supporting Fields of the Nephilim at Brixton Academy in 1988. Now that was special!

    The Vandals supported on all the UK shows I think.

    When they announced those shows Chris Cornell was touted for support as it was around the time of his first solo album but it obviously never happened.....so maybe this time.

    My best support experience was Biffy Clyro opening for Weezer at Glasgow Barrowlands in 2002.

    Twas the introduction to my 2nd favourite band after PJ and I've seen hem 18 times since :)

    No it was the Monkeywrench, who feature Mark Arm and maybe one of the other guys from Mudhoney. They were alright, kind of like Mudhoney without the decent tunes ;)

    you alright Dunk?

    this is confusing!
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I think Incubus is fabulous anywhere! I've seen them in a small club and a festival, both were amazing.

    Paddy Casey was utterly awful. I hated the way he made a point of stressing that he usually plays his own shows at The Point........like anyone gave a flying f**k!

    Think the best support i've seen was Mew supporting The Cooper Temple Clause... hmmm, Mew and Pearl Jam, i'd go for that! :)

    What about wolfmother???

    Saw them in Edinburgh on Sunday and it was just mad up the front for the 90 minutes and was well worth the 2.5 hour trip from Aberdeen.

    And Eddie and Mike have both been on stage with them recently.
    March 95 - Melbourne Flinders Park(Dave Grohl on drums for Encore, live on Tripple J night after the riot)
    March 95 - Melbourne - OK I was on my flats balcony and couldn't see the stage but I sure could hear them,
    August 06 - Leeds
    June 07 - London

    Yesss! I'd like that too

    Wolfmother would be brilliant. I didn't know anything about them and found out they were playing Sheffield that night - not hearing any of their stuff I didn't go. Heard their album in Virgin the day after - was gutted I didn't take a gamble!
    :D Rock on!!!! :D

    Wolfmother would be wicked too...saw them in Southampton on Sunday. Totally amazing live. Much better live than on the record.

    Some good calls so far, and I'd settle for any of the following:

    Idlewild
    The Cooper Temple Clause
    Wolfmother
    Brendan Benson
    Chris Cornell (perfect for a TotD guest spot later on too!)

    Preferably I'd like Pearl Jam to play for another half an hour... ;o)

    have you seen connor o'berst live. he an ed have many comparisons, check out his earlier albums and any of his lyrics.

    "When The President Talks To God"

    When the president talks to God
    Are the conversations brief or long?
    Does he ask to rape our women’s' rights
    And send poor farm kids off to die?
    Does God suggest an oil hike
    When the president talks to God?

    When the president talks to God
    Are the consonants all hard or soft?
    Is he resolute all down the line?
    Is every issue black or white?
    Does what God say ever change his mind
    When the president talks to God?

    When the president talks to God
    Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
    Agree which convicts should be killed?
    Where prisons should be built and filled?
    Which voter fraud must be concealed
    When the president talks to God?

    When the president talks to God
    I wonder which one plays the better cop
    We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
    No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
    Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
    That's what God recommends

    When the president talks to God
    Do they drink near beer and go play golf
    While they pick which countries to invade
    Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
    I guess god just calls a spade a spade
    When the president talks to God

    When the president talks to God
    Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
    That that voice is just inside his head
    When he kneels next to the presidential bed
    Does he ever smell his own bullshit
    When the president talks to God?

    I doubt it

    I doubt it
