FlippingOut Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 This Wild Life opening for New Found Glory.... yea i was kinda late getting into them Saw this time. This Wild Life sounded good but in a lot of ways they just seem like a rehashed version of Dashboard Confessional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippingOut Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 dead poetic lol no one ever talks about them Their first 2 albums were so good though. New Medicines was (is) my favorite record of theirs. Vices....not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yonatan Gat Agree that Yonatan is awesome live.....but.....you should YouTube live performances of his old band, Monotonix, if you thought he was great live.......hands-down best live band you could ever be a part of, most interactive live shows, so much fire, surfing, and chaos....doin that everynight of a tour had to have been insanely exhausting. Yonatan rips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan8765 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Sometime back in 03/04 Mars Volta opened for A perfect circle. That music was too much to take in... Love the band now, and I am so glad I got to see them perform De Loused material when it was fresh. But at the time... I hated it. Funny thing is back then I was friends with Sean (AJJ) and I told him how much I disliked TMV. He kind of convinced me to give them a fair shake. So I guess I have to thank him for that. Good times.

birdwell Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Seville openin up for Dashboard Confessional...was rad seeing Mike Marsh and whomever the bass player was (who later played bass for John Ralston) go from what they did with Seville to playing with Carraba an hour or so later, so good nick6ten 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsleepOnRocks Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Beach Slang, TV on the Radio, Beep Beep, Chotto Ghetto, The Mean Reds, M. Ward, Feist, A Wilhelm Scream. All from various shows. All blew me the hell away and made me an instant fan. Ugh. I saw Beep Beep open for TV On The Radio and The Faint ~10 years ago, and they were so unbelievably bad that my friends and I STILL joke about it when we see another terrible opening band. "Hey, at least they're not Beep Beep." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not picture Sean liking TMV for some reason. I begged him to cover Silver Jews at an in store like a year ago and it was wonderful.

NoFxpunkguy Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 In 2005 I saw From Autumn To Ashes and was pleasantly surprised to hear the opening band Comeback Kid. They really killed it and started the night right. This show also had Rise Against Back in 97-98 I saw Blink 182 and got to see Unwritten Law open for them. UL was awesome and I went through many years after of blasting their music non stop. And seeing Blink when they were that young was great too, at least being immature then was acceptable. Now it's just played out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan8765 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Sean was dating some hispanic girl at the time and said her and her family LOVED that band. So I just figured, rightfully so, that I was missing out. And forgive me, I have no idea who Silver Jews is. Shit I didn't even know sean was in a successful band till like last year. *Looked up silver jews. I never got into Pavement so that's probably why I never heard of them.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rransomm Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I hadn't heard of The Music until I saw them open for Incubus in CO '04, which was VERY impressive! Found out about RX Bandits when they co-headlined with Dredg in Tucson 2010 and they rocked my panties off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rransomm Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 One of my biggest regrets to this day is not having gone to Lubbock to see TMV open for APC. All my friends went. I had an essay to write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hey, at least they're not Beep Beep." Saw them on the same tour. Complete opposite reaction. Wish they'd do a third LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rransomm Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Oh yeah, I saw The Faint open for Bright Eyes and they were KILLER! So good, in fact, that I forgot to mention it previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcha Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Saw O'Brother open up for Thrice a few years ago. O'Brother was that band for me . hippielauryn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good opening act I saw was The Futureheads opening for Kaiser Chiefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But dang, AJJ are AMAZING and that's surprising you didn't know they were pretty big. They are one of the best bands in the past 10 years imo.

Bladewillisisdead Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 One of my biggest regrets to this day is not having gone to Lubbock to see TMV open for APC. All my friends went. I had an essay to write. Never regret not going to Lubbock. Ever. I saw TMV open for Red Hot Chili Peppers on like 02 or 03. Queens of the Stone Age played too, right after they put out Songs for the Deaf and a month or two after I saw them headline a 400 cap room. I went for TMV and QOTSA, but TMV sucked. They sounded awful. I remember reading something about how on that tour all the PA shit was soundchecked for RHCP so TMV just came through as a wall of incomprehensible noise but not in a good way. At least QOTSA were awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I was super pissed because tmv was not on my date of that rhcp tour. A band called french toast played instead. Queens of the stone age fucking ruled on that tour and had mark lanegan with them to perform the songs he sang on the record. I think i enjoyed them more than rhcp.

hippielauryn Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Saw O'Brother open up for Thrice a few years ago. O'Brother was that band for me . I went to that show in Austin. They were also with Moving Mountains. Fell madly in love with both O' Bro and Mov Mou. That was an incredible line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdwell Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 P.O.S opening for Minus the Bear was quite a pleasant juxtaposition, had no clue who he was at that time and was very stoked on his performance Reggie Watts MCing the '06 Capital Hill Block Party was rad, had never heard of him at that time Common Market playing the '06 Capital Hill Block Party either immediately before Murder City Devils or an act before that...no clue who they were and they put on a terrific performance as well also can't quite understate how blown away I was by The Legendary Shack Shakers opening for The Black Keys....I mean, dude was wearing a 1930's style swimming outfit with antique aviator goggled that he quickly removed, drop kicked a tray full of assorted meats that he got from back stage which sent splintered plastic everywhere as well as assorted meats....there was a bald gentlemen front row beside me and the dude slapped a half pound of cold cut ham on his bald head, continuously blew snot rockets everywhere, and at one point where it was just an instrumental section he dropped the mic an jumped on a monitor reached in his pants and start ripping out hands full of pubes and throwing them everywhere. I have never in my life seen a wilder opening band. inlimbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
