the Opening Bands thread 2

[Chastity]

Let's say that Millencolin decided to hold a really interesting and special contest. They ask fans to write down ten bands that they would like to see open for MC.

MC randomly picks a fan's list out of a hat and picks three bands from that list.

Name your top ten.

1. None More Black

2. Against Me! (I am afraid though that they would steal the spotlight away from MC because this band are quite the attention seekers. They opened up for Anti Flag and played with fellow opening bands None More Black and Rise Against. Anti Flag felt they needed to top Against Me's nudity--they practically stole the show away from the headlining band--by stripping down themselves and having girls get naked on stage. They are probably the last band on Earth you would expect nudity from!)

3. Drowsy

4. New Suicide/TheReal Deal/5 Knuckle Surprise (these are my friends' bands--it's a tie, I can't choose one)

5. Big D and The Kids Table (if they ever opened for MC, I would be the happiest girl alive plus it would be a great birthday present since Millencolin usually comes to Montreal around my birthday

6. The Soviettes

7. Dillinger Four

8. Weezer (the only drawback with this is that they would probably play a much bigger, more expensive and less intimate venue)

9. Nikola! (Actually, that wouldn't be good making him do a double set. Plus, it would kind of ruin the anticipation of waiting for the band to play)

9. Le Tigre (this would be really interesting!)

10. Strike Anywhere

[androdaking]

1. Kapten Kermit (wanna see them again!!!)

2. Roper

3. Against me!

4. Alkaline Trio

5. Satanic Surfers

6. Green Day (yeah, right )

7. The Hives

8. Slick Shoes

9. NOFX

10. Lagwagon

3 - Drowsy
4 - Donots (wanna see them again )

9. Me First And The Gimme Gimmes
10. Jackson

[Brownsound]

I dunno really...I'm not that big into the punkrock scene, so I haven't really got any clue what's good anymore.

But NOFX, Green Day, The Offspring, Lagwagon, Midtown, the Horror Pops...those bands would work for me.

[Chastity]

I noticed Anders mentioned Op Ivy. If they still existed, I would've listed them immediately.

[fUx0r]

in no particular order:

1. bouncing souls
2. tsunami bomb
3. face to face (if they came back)
4. bad religion (which i don't think could, but would be awesome)
5. bombshell rocks
6. peepshows
7. new bomb turks
8. NOFX

i can't think of anyone else, but those would be cool bands to hear with them.

1. Stoned
2. Venerea
3. The Bouncing souls (have anybody of you heard their song on the Short music for short people cd?? they sing in swedish)
4. Pennywise
5. Belvedere
6. Subb
7. Less than jake
8. kid down
9. Jimmy eat world
10. Rise against
