Who should U2 take on tour?

[brianvox]

Kills is a good one. The Enemy - possibly.

 

[PowerSurge]

Um.....yeah I kinda agree. I mean calling the Rolling Stones the Stones makes sense because it is an abreviation. However calling U2, The 2 is actually adding to the number of keystrokes actually adding 3 strokes to the name. As for the sound, it would be cool if we were all hanging out at the Peach Pit with Brandon and Dylan, but then again if we were hanging out at the Peach Pit, we would all be the containers used to carry feminine hygiene products.

Quick someone get me more coffee.

I heard that Donna might be preggers.

I'd love to see The National open, I think that would fit well.

Or Expiration Date ( Expiration Date on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads ) would be fun, but very unlikely.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

As much as I highly doubt they would, I think Spoon would make a good opening band for "the 2"....

 

[adenoid_hynkel]

.

To whoever mentioned the Decemberists - that's a great pick.

It's a total clash of styles, but I'd love to see Jenny Lewis. Maybe the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, as they have an album due out around the same time.

And maybe the Rolling Stones can finally take their well-earned spot in the music pantheon - as U2's warm-up act.

U know Coldplay have got Girls Aloud supporting at Wembley. How would this board react to that if U2 announced they would also be supporting them?

 

[MMP]

This would become blood-red crack.

 

[jphelmet]

Artists that actually have new albums to support:


The Fray yikes: I know, but considering U2 have given us Dashboard Confessional...)

and third eye blind

and smashmouth

and nelly furtado

and no doubt

and garbage

 

[MMP]

Hey, No Doubt is a good band.

And for you bashing the Stones:

GAF's reaction:

YouTube - Jizz In My Pants

 

[LemonMelon]

Personally, of any artist out there right now, I wish U2 would give Cut Copy a chance. Elbow would be a logical fit, but Cut Copy deserves a break. Their last album was wonderful.

 

[MMP]

^I still need to listen to that album

 

[Sicy]

What is this 'the 2' stuff? Seriously.

Hey, No Doubt is a good band.

And for you bashing the Stones:

nah, just a little friendly ribbing is all. I quite love them, actually.

 

[govikesU2]

I would like to see Snow Patrol or The Last Shadow Puppets.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

they should just get over it and start calling themselves Gwen Stefani's backup band...

 

[MMP]

nah, just a little friendly ribbing is all. I quite love them, actually.

 

[lazarus]

I'd like to see Phoenix open, and they have a new album coming out this spring as well.

Because they're genre benders, they should have no problem pleasing the crowd, either.

And this "2" shit needs to stop, ASAP.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

You gotta problem with da 2, Laz?

 

[Chizip]

i kinda like the 2

only thing better would be el deuce

 

[AchtungDude]

Flogging Molly

 

[MMP]

^That would be awesome...

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

[AiRMaRcI9o0]

Mgmt

 

[If you shout...]

Charlemagne Palestine. Or maybe Burning Star Core. Xiu Xiu'd be a real winner, as well.

 

[MMP]

Now the thread title changed I think the best answer would be:

ME... I want backstage pass guys.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Hard-Fi

The Last Shadow Puppets

Jessica Simpson

 

[ramblin rose]

Airborne Toxic Event?

That would be cool.

 

[wolbersu2]

For me White lies, Editors, Interpol, Glasvegas, Grand Avenue and..... Why not Simple Minds>>>
