'We Support U2'......

[KEVIN051269]

Watching this programme today and a 'Scissor Sisters' promo was played. When did they support U2?

Also was mentioned that David Bowie had supported!!???

Now was this just some poor research or am i perhaps going a bit befuddled in my old age??

 

[Bono in Melb]

Didn't The Pope support U2 on one tour?

Everyone has supported U2 at one stage or another.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

Except maybe Henry Rollins.

Na scissor sisters aint supported them. Maybe they mean they supported Bono's RED campaign when they played in London in T Square.

 

[martha]

Are you confusing "support" with "opened for"?

 

[Earnie Shavers]

The Scissor Sisters did support U2 on the Elevation tour.

 

[Bono in Melb]

See I told you!

Everyone has supported U2 on tour.

Even in the Rattle and Hum tour, a small irish country and western band fronted by Paul, David, Adam and Larry.

In other words, they supported themselves.

The Dalton Brothers, Alton (Bono), Luke (Edge), Betty (Adam) & Duke (Larry) 'supported' U2 three times on the Joshua Tree Tour (Indianapolis/LA & Hampton).

Adam as Betty was my favourite.

Evidently Betty's performance was the inspiration for the Dixie Chicks.

Must admit its a new one on me, c'mon heaveyweight champ of the world.....spill the beans

 

[majid23]

Is there a list of all the artists that have supported (opened) for U2? That would be nice...Public Enemy, Keane, etc...

 

[IanIinTheSky]

The Scissor Sisters played at Live 8. I don't know if they opened during Elevation Tour though.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Maybe it was just talk? I was sure they actually did... Someone else surely can answer this in 5 seconds...

 

[Axver]

I'm pretty sure the Scissor Sisters have never supported U2.

 

[Miroslava]

They have not supported them. There were rumors for THIS tour, not Elevation, but as far as I know, it never did happen.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i belive bono showed up at a gig and was quoted as saying that he wanted them to open up for the tour... never happened though.
