Best and Worst Support Acts you've seen.
 
Best - I'd have to say Auf Der Maur, though she did annoy me at times.

Worst - Most of the support acts I have seen have been piss poor, but the Worst Support Act Award has to go to Cave In. Some of the most overrated, piss twaddle, dull, crud-munched stuff I have ever heard. After 45 minutes of suffering their tripe, I was ready to throw myself off the balcony (but sadly for most of you, I did not). I'd have to say they spolit my evening, but the Foo's kinda made up for it, that, and after Cave In had left, Sabbath and Judas Priest were played over the PA to help us recover.

You die now. :mad:

Worst were easily Sugarcoma... utter garbage, and trust me, they're not going to be dethroned from this position anytime soon.

Best... hmm, tough one, but it'd probably go to Cult Of Luna, who were immense.

Mike the Metal Ed 03-01-2004 11:03 AM

Best - Anthrax, supporting Motorhead... November 2002

Worst - Skew Siskin, supporting Anthrax/Motorhead... November 2002.

Mike the Metal Ed 03-01-2004 11:06 AM

Or FFAF supporting Iron Maiden last December... seriously mis-booked band.

Kane Knight 03-01-2004 11:35 AM

Worst: Recognizer (supporting Off-fest)

Best: Easily Tegan and Sara (Supporting Ferrick) or Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer (supporting the neilds)

I've never even heard the Neilds, I only went to the show for Dave and tracy.

Ska-Wars 03-01-2004 11:47 AM

Best - Bigwig supporting No Use For A Name

Worst - Planes Mistaken For Stars supporting the Ataris. I know a lot of people like them but they didn't suit the gig at all and they really weren't my thing.

Danny Electric 03-01-2004 12:13 PM

Best - This is hard, seen so many.I'd probably have to say Straylight Run supporting Brand New, Brand New supporting Finch or Hed PE supporting Papa Roach.

Worst - I can't remember a name but some band that supporeted Spineshank, can't remember there name but they were signed to Roadrunner.

I'm sure I've reminded you of this before... Dry Kill Logic, they're a musical abomination. :p

Outsider 03-01-2004 12:29 PM

Best - American Hi-Fi supporting Sum 41 about a year ago.

Worst - The Crush or something. Some unheard of American band who supported Green Day in 2002

Dazz 03-01-2004 01:39 PM

Best - Cyprus Hill/Xzibit supporting Eminem in June 2003

Worst - Live, who were supporting Bon Jovi in June 2003, they sucked big time.

packt up 03-01-2004 02:05 PM

Lol, I remeber you did. I forget them for a good reason.

Cactus Sid 03-01-2004 03:21 PM

I've actually only been to 1 gig ever (none come this way) I've seen loads of bands at Reading but only Muse elsewhere :(

Therefore WORST support act = Elbow

Truly awful boring band

Wengerland 03-01-2004 03:34 PM

Can't think of a best one.

The worst was some band called The Planets who supported Deep Purple,they were poor anyway but to put what was more-or-less an orchestra on before a Rock band was pretty stupid booking.:|

blake639raw 03-01-2004 03:42 PM

Best - Pantera, supporting Black Sabbath

Worst - I had to sit through Static X when I seen Slayer once. God, those guys suck.

DaveWadding 03-01-2004 05:03 PM

Best- Revis, supporting Ev @ Fusion Tour 8/6/03 (Possibly to be dethroned by Mars Volta??)

Worst- Cauterize, supporting Ev (same show)

Tranny 03-01-2004 05:09 PM

Best - Piebald supporting Dashboard Confessional

Worst - MXPX...supporting Dashboard Confessional :-\

The Mask 03-01-2004 05:20 PM

worst - elbow (at muse too)

best - auf der maur

Bigmc 03-01-2004 05:38 PM

Best - Red Hot Chili Peppers supporting U2
Worst - Can't remember their name but they supported White Stripes at Blackpool

Silent 03-01-2004 06:03 PM

Worst - Green Day supporting Blink..should have been the other way around. Green Day put on a show 10x better then Blink did that night.

Best - EASILY Hopesfall supporting The Juliana Theory.

fonzy 03-02-2004 10:40 AM

<center><font color="#0080FF" face="Arial" Size="2">shit. i've seen a few crappy supports. top of the pile is definately schism who supported akaline trio and then yellowcard. simply terrible. :|

best supports... probably brand new with finch. straylight run supporting brand new and the times i've seen sugarcult with reel big fish and good charlotte have been great.</font>

Ry 03-02-2004 11:54 AM

Too many best supporting acts... Saves the Day opening for Weezer, Reggie & the Full Effect supporing Alk3, Taking Back Sunday supporting Saves the Day, Brand New opening for Dashboard off the top of my head.

Worst, I dunno maybe Casey Scores a goal who opened for the Get Up Kids at a college show last year.

DegenerationY 03-02-2004 01:48 PM

The best support group I saw has to be a tie between High on Fire and Isis.

Both were amazing when I saw them (at different times) opening up for the Melvins.

The worst would have to be The Dwarves when I saw them open up for Motorhead. Honestly, how many times can you scream and repeat "yyyyyyeahhhhhhhhhhhhh, fuuuuuuuuuuuck yeahhhhh, yeahhhhhhhhhh" :rant:

I wanted to rip my ears off during their set. I'd rather see Melt Banana.

:kiss:

Wish I'd gone and saw High On Fire when they toured over here now...

DegenerationY 03-02-2004 03:29 PM

They were awesome.

I must say though, I was disappointed in their set when they opened up for Motorhead. They played about 5 songs and were the first band. They were good but the set was wayyyy too short. They were the first band on the bill, they were before the DWARVES.

I wanted to shoot somebody

JJ Moore 03-02-2004 06:56 PM

Best: Dry Kill Logic
Worst: The Coral

samichna 03-02-2004 07:37 PM

Well i head them in 2001 before spineshank, bough there album at the time, aint followed them since? SO no idea how there getting on, another good one was Three inches Of Blood" ther were fun before the darkness.

The Destroyer 03-03-2004 09:04 AM

They got dropped by Roadrunner and haven't been heard of since. :o

But yes, Three Inches of Blood, much better, if you ignore the fact they seem like they're taking the piss.

Marbear 03-03-2004 02:46 PM

best would have to be STP supporting Red Hot Chili Peppers

worst would be a tie between Staind opening for STP and Element Eighty opening for Sevendust. Both brutal performances.

The Outlaw 03-03-2004 07:15 PM

Best: Hmm, 3rd Strike opening for Adema were pretty good. So were Ruby Horse for Flickerstick.

Worst: Whoever opened for APC. :n:

Shaggy 03-03-2004 09:52 PM

Worst: Jo Dee Masina......Supporting Clay Walker (Thats right...I went to a country concert)

asphyXy 03-03-2004 11:15 PM

<font color=969696>Considering the fact that I usually don't care about the headlining band, this is basically a "Best and worst bands you've seen" post.

Best: Children of Bodom by light years.
Worst: The Black Dahlia Murder.</font>

Kris P Lettus 03-04-2004 05:56 PM

best-Fishbone BYFAR
