So is KaYne West still supporting?

[Arcadion]

Do you think he will come to Australia a second time this year?

 

[U2FanPeter]

I heard he was doing a US arena tour with Red Hot Chili Peppers from August onwards.

 

[swirling_eddy]

I hope not, I'm sorry but I cannot stand him!

 

[wang_chung]

god i hope not

 

[JMScoopy]

 

[U2FanPeter]

Arcade Fire should be in touring mode around that time.

They will do

 

[OceanGirl]

Nah, I don't think he'll be coming out again.... although, that could just be wishful thinking on my part!

 

[fingal77]

I think after the "delay" - we need a fantastic support act - not Kayne West.....

 

[Arcadion]

Yeah, if they wanna make it "extraordinary", give us RHCP

 

[fingal77]

Now that's wishful thinking - anyone other than Kayne would be fantastic......just not Kasey Chambers......

 

[DignityPassesBy]

i'd like to see them use Australian bands

Eskimo Joe
Youth Group
Gelbison
even The Whitlams have a new cd and will be touring, Silverchair also are recording and i heard (no reliable source just a rumour)powderfinger have started to write again

 

[caz_87]

yeah i didnt really wanna see kanye west, i wouldnt have minded seeing franz ferdianand though...

 

[DignityPassesBy]

just heard snow patrols new song and now i want to see them support

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i would have been more than happy to trade any of the openers for the shows i saw for kanye.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

U2 always gets such great opening acts..Why him???

SMB

 

[LMP]

how about INXS?

 

[bono_man2002]

I'm paying to see U2, so who gives two hoots who the opening act is?

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

I would love for people to know how to properly spell 'Kanye'.

But then again, some of his plastic...

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Probably my biggest disappointment with the delay is the fact that it will mean no Kanye. In his place no doubt we'll get one of a hundred completely interchangeable current 'rock' bands, or B Grade Australian act, both of which you will struggle to remember in a decade.

To the people that suggested either Powderfinger, or far worse, INXS, please destroy your tickets.



Just kidding.



No, seriously.

 

[DignityPassesBy]

if it were INXS and it was still with Michael Hutchence it would be perhaps the greatest rock show in history U2 and (real)INXS i think die out of excitment

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i find it funny that people are upset that kanye would open, yet would readily see a band who replaced their dead lead singer with a reality show.

 

[DignityPassesBy]

no i dont want to see that inxs i was just wishing the old inxs were still around ... i never really had a problem with kayne opening

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

wasn't directed at you actually

 

[zepher25]

if Michael Hutchence was still alive it would be a fair bet that INXS would be supporting as Michael Hutchence was Bono's friend and the song stuck in a moment you can't get out of was written about his suicide

 

[Earnie Shavers]

There's been a long standing rumour/urban tale that it was INXS who were scheduled to support for Popmart, hence the tiny venue tour of theirs leading into the U2 tour (warm up?) which Hutchence in the end commited suicide on the eve of, and the crappy 'last minute' addition of Sidewinder to the support slot. I don't know how true it is, because that story only started the minute after Hutchence died and I don't even remember it as a rumour beforehand.

 

[4U2Play]

Did Hutchence really die the very embarrassing way it is rumored he did?

 

[DignityPassesBy]

He hung himself and was found naked by a hotel staff member

 

[zepher25]

not quite as spectacular as Kurt Kobane's "Machine Gun Fellatio"

 

[impy13]

if Michael Hutchence was still alive it would be a fair bet that INXS would be supporting as Michael Hutchence was Bono's friend and the song stuck in a moment you can't get out of was written about his suicide

Does anyone else find this "sentence" funny?
