Inappropriate Support Bands?

[chriswallace85]

Alice Cooper's touring in the autumn... with Primal Scream as support? Seems a bit of a mismatch to me.


Any other odd examples?

Any fucker supporting Motley Crue - utter shite.

Me mate reckons he saw Alice support them. I suppose it's not a huge misstep stylistically, but surely it shoulda been the other way round?

Dr Feelgood rocking up in their suits to support Hawkwind, with their long hair and psychedelic light show, in a United Artist tour at the City Hall circa 75/76 was very odd at the time.

 

[Metro Man]

Believe it or not....Stepan Grapelli....supporting Oliva Newton John at the Odeon Newcastle!

(Jurassic period)

 

[Bagatelle]

Gladys Knight and the Pips at the City Hall Newcastle, support was a ventriloquist

 

[Crayola-Kid]

Pop Will Eat Itself got bottled off stage multiple times trying to open for Run DMC and Public Enemy

 

[JonnotheMackem]

The Saw Doctors for The Sex Pistols

Paramore for Taylor Swift

Chuck Berry for The Clash

 

[The Red Telephone]

The Jimi Hendrix Experience supporting The Monkees.

 

[Dan The Man]

Public Enemy supporting the Stone Roses

 

[SR7]

Public Enemy support act for The Prodigy. Public Enemy are huge and been around a lot longer.

Saw City and Colour in 2010, had a punk band supporting. Was the weirdest contrast I've experienced.

 

[herra soul mob]

Dexys at city hall in 1982, support was a comedian ( and a tad racist I seem to remember )

 

[Mally Mackem]

omd supporting simple minds sometime mid 80s.. gateshead stadium simple minds were shite omd far superior band..

 

[Hammer]

Ladytron supporting Nine Inch Nails and MMOTHS supporting At the Drive-In were both a bit odd.

Kaiser cheifs for foo fighters at the SoL was a strange one

 

[Thackeray]

I reckon I could have the winner here. I once saw Vera Lynn supporting Hawkwind.

Remembering the time the late Dame Vera Lynn played an anti-heroin gig with Hawkwind and Lemmy
