Neil Young? Ben Harper? Julian Casablancas?

Who will join them on stage for surprise appearances?

What does everybody think? Sound off

Much effort that looks like no effort at all. And let's not forget about the much-efforted bedhead hair.

    I would want to see Ben Harper joining them on stage though.


    Ed seems to not mind Julian Casablancas.

    and i love Ben Harper, but he is a self proclaimed fashion whore.
    Peace, Love.

    John Doe
    Exene Cervenka
    Penelope Houston
    Caleb Followill

    Thats my short list of "realistic" [though remote] possibilities.

    I'd like to be able to add
    Michael Stipe
    Frank Black
    and
    Eugene Kelly

    to that list.

    Change the skinny designer jeans to flannel shirts and I think you've just described Pearl Jam and that whole movement in the 1990s.

    Sounds like you just described the Kings of Leon with Ed as the frontman.

    I like Kings of Leon. They look like guys from the 70s rock scene.

    Oh I like them too :) They used to look like guys from the 70's rock scene. Now no one wears skinnier jeans than they do.

    I am in love with all 3 of there albums. JUst to be able to see them with PJ is as perfect as it gets for me. My 2 favorite bands.

    Saw them at Radio City Music Hall a few months ago and they just tore it up..

    with MMJ and REM in the area around Camden and NYC...I think anything is possible. How about the lead singer of The National. Love that guy...who is that guy? boy...sober I am not.

    didnt realize the anti-strokes sentiment on here. they are a very good band with an admittedly questionable fashion sense. to each his own. ed has been quoted as really liking the strokes and julians delivery as a singer.

    Umm, if you're a serious rock-n-roll outfit, for the most part, wouldn't you try and eschew being featured for your fashion in Esquire, neh?

    I hope we get a few dates here on the West Coast and that Kings of Leon open for them. That would be perfect!

    Amen! But please note, Ted Leo is just as spec-fuckin-tacular ... I'm psyched to see him open for PJ when I head back east!

    Good God that is disturbing.

    Love their music, but they just took a major dive in the cool department
