    A great band would be the Silversun Pickups. They are from LA, have this great new song Panic Switch.

    Their first two albums are REALLY good. This would be AWESOME.

    Lads, Ladies..2 things..

    U2's manager is called Paul mcGuinnes..he also manages a guy called Paddy Casey, who, in 06, supported Pj in Dublin(of all places :roll: ) and why? 'cos guess who then supported U2 in Hawaii later that year? our very own Pj..back scratching bedhopping rock n roll..get used to it..

    now...Gaslight anthem/The hold steady..boring bad bland banal Bruce Springsteen wannabes who, to their credit, aspire to the lofty and unattainable powers and energies the Boss eminates, but sadly(aka happily) they will never achieve..get OVER these two bands..they are both RUUUUUBISH!!

    Go check out a Bruce album/gig/anything and watch their names melt away from your memory..you'll be embarassed you ever mentioned them...seriously...


    ps..is anyone else f****n BORED TO DEATH of Kings Of leon??? i sure am.

    I don't understand. Are you comparing Paddy Casey opening for PJ to PJ opening for U2. I would say PJ did 2 favors for Mr McGuiness.


    As for other tour options.... TMV??? Mastodon?? Those guys would both blow PJ off the stage and have their(PJ's) fans bored to tears. I don't think either of those is something an opening band is supposed to do.

    Good call! I haven't heard the new band, but saw/hung out with the Slam 3 times on the last tour...
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
