in your opinion...[views:1968][posts:17]_______________________________ [Jul 27,2005 12:02pm - nate ""] ... what bands locally would you consider an "opener" meaning someone who would play 1st or 2nd. I am just curious cause I am lining up some stuff and want to get some opinions on this.... even though people are gonna get riled up cause someone calls them an opener, but I'm sorry.... I need the info so....?? |

Terminally Your Aborted Ghost is a headlining band but the red chord, for example, would headline over us, so you start from the bigger band and work your way down. I don't think it makes any sence to aproach smaller bands about opening and working your way up. |

| _______________________________________ [Jul 27,2005 12:35pm - Anthony nli ""] where is the show going to be? That would change my opinion of who's an opener and who's not. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 27,2005 12:37pm - Niccolai ""] I don't really care if my band opens or headlines, but I'm tyhinking that if I put our name up, you'll consider us when booking opening bands and get us on bills, so I'm going to go ahead and say Terminally Your Aborted Ghost. |

| _______________________________ [Jul 27,2005 12:44pm - nate ""] it's a tentative show right now, I have a date and am witing for final confirmation on the headliner... I got some of the dates that Jess used to book at Dee Dee's so I wanna make the first one go off well so I can book more there and make this a monthly series of shows... once I get all the info I will obviously announce the show but I just wanted to get opinions for now to kinda get my head straight about some shit... |

Shit Barnes wouldn't go on stage because he was so baked he thought Steven Tyler was going to pull his band name on him. Steven Tyler just ended up sucking the inside of Chris barnes anus. What a sissy. |
