What about your Pi recitation to 23 decimal places band????

 

[LemonMelon]

The Shins
Decemberists

I REEEEEEEEEEEALLY WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.

 

[bono_man2002]

Are they?

That'll be a great show.

I'd love to see how My Chemical Romance come on stage following Muse's Knights Of Cydonia......

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Can you play the tambourine? I really need a killer tambourine player.

Tambourine is one of the only instruments I can play. That and the triangle. And of course the cowbell.

If the Pixies are still on speaking terms by the next tour, I'd love to see them open. I can think of few things that would get me more hyped up in GA than Frank Black's sonic scream.

 

[Utoo]

Elbow!!! good choice..They are awesome live

Haven't seen them live yet, but Leaders of the Free World is knocking my socks off!

 

[gvox]

K-OS

OR IM RENOUNCING MY FANSHIP

ok not really

 

[annie_vox]

I'd love to see how My Chemical Romance come on stage following Muse's Knights Of Cydonia......

I'd love to be there just to see that too... They're brave... No doubt they are... I can't imagine anything following that song, but that's ok...

Anyway next U2 opening act What do you think about The Strokes? Maybe they're already too big for that... It could be Klaxons or Editors. I think Editors are more a "U2 opening band". And they're ok live...

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I would like to see more local bands (from any state and/or country...doesn't matter) in the next tour than anyone else

 

[rwolins1]

Arcade Fire for multiple dates, not just one city. So bummed to have missed that.

I wouldn't bet on seeing Arcade Fire opening for anyone anymore. Their new album is the best of this year and they are selling out venues all over the world on their own included 3 shows in Chicago, which is a major city.

 

[redhotswami]

I'll be up and coming in 2009, they should bring me on tour.

do you need a backup dancer?


i think the roots should open for u2

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Ooooh ooooh, count me in!

I play a mean cowbell...


MORE COWBELL!!!

 

[LemonMelon]

Paul McCartney and his band/army of Starbucks Frappuccinos would make a great opening act.

 

[gman]

A lot of these bands I havent heard of but........NOT MUSE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!! Someone sed they might be too big........YEAH RIGHT!
Unless they bigger than U2, then anyone can open for em

 

[Utoo]

LemonMelon's band.

 

[corianderstem]

It seems I'll be forming a rip-roaringly awesome band of Interferencers.

Clearly, we shall prevail, and win the hearts of U2.

And at the McCartney/Frappuccino comment!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

LemonMelon's band.

 

[LemonMelon]

Indeed.

 

[LemonMelon]

Really, a band of interferencers would probably be the most appropriate choice. We'd kick the crap out of Kings of Leon anyway.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I never got to see the Kings... Were they that bad? I had Dashboard Confessional

 

[LemonMelon]

I just couldn't hear a note they played. It was like a giant wall of noise (not in any way caused by Phil Spector). I liked their album, but really, the venue's sound really killed it for me.

I'm not the only one who's commented on them negatively either.

 

[Utoo]

How about a battle of the bands as the opening act....

I need to get my band's act together. And by "act together," I mean "find a bassist and a drummer."
