    Re -.1
    
    Gotta agree with ya on that one.  Lisa Dominique is veeeeeerrrryyy
    Sexy but in my old girlfriends words "she's and embarassment to
    the female gender" - She can't sing a note. (I wonder how many "Names"
    she's bedded to get this far ?)
    
    Engine are definitely worth a listen, as are people like Shy. C'mon
    lets support new TALENT and not flash trash. OK !

    I went to see Armored Saint and King Diamond at the Channel a few
    weeks ago, and in my opinion, there is no way that K.D. should 
    have headlined over one of the best live bands I have seen in  
    a while.   For those who have listened to Armored Saint albums,
    but have not seen them live, this is a must.  They were absolutely
    awesome live.  As for King Diamond, I couldn't listen to his voice
    for more than five minutes without being ill.

    re .3
    
    I couldn't agree with u more. I went for the fun of it because the
    guys I play in a band with were all going so I relucantly went.
    I heard mercyful fate before and thought the band was good so I
    went just to see his band. 
      But anyway I figured judging by thier name armored saint was gonna
    be playing 900 mph. and singing like Lemmy. Iwas impressed they
    good and real tight. 
     Then came the king. I will end this note here so's not to rile
    any king diamond fans. His band was good especially the drummer.

    Do you remember a couple of years ago when Dokken warmed up 
    for LOVERBOY....boy, that was hard to understand, I mean, Loverboy
    didn't sound "bad", it was just a weird mix, like a metal act 
    with a very non-metal act.. weird..
    
      Hey Buck, remember that one...?

                That was  Dokken's  own  choice.    They  haven't
                wanted to headline  so  they  don't  have to deal
                with the responsibility, but  that doesn't matter
                anymore, does it!

  	         Don't you think this mis-matching happens much more
    	         often on the club circuit than on the "big stage.."
    		 I mean, how many times have the local opening bands	 
    		 (like Bang, Extreme), blown away some college station band 
    	         from Detroit or something, could just be me being biased..
    
     		 By the way, is it true that Bang really broke up..? I
                 sure hope not.. I dont' even have Summertime on tape..

    re: dokken headlining
    
    About three years ago dokken was headlining in Albuquerque, N.M.
    Lynch started off talkin s**t to the crowd informing everyone
    how he could have any woman in town and how no woman can be 
    satisfied untill shes had him etc....etc.... It was bogus bull!!!
    From nowhere a beer bottle came flying and hit him square in the
    mouth from which he began to bleed profusly and left the stage...
    d. dokken had to play the rest of the night....He did a killer
    job too!!!
    
    Several months ago in guitar mag or one of those they asked him
    what was his most embarrasing moments on stage and he answered:
    "The time I got sick on stage in Alb. and had to leave."
    Yea sure!!!!!!!!
    
    Maybe that's why they don't headline alot anymore!!!!

	 I laugh everytime I think about this...but when I went to see
	 Richard Marx a year or so ago, a VERY heavy metal band (since
	 gone to the wayside, I believe, I can't even remember their
	 name) opened for him....

	 anyone remember the name of the band?  they did the entire
	 tour with him.....

	 kath               

     I saw a very wasted Guns and Roses with Cinderellas drummer on
    drums open for Alice Cooper one tour...
    
    Frehleys Comet and Faster Pussycat for Alice...
    
    and
    
    Megadeath for Cooper
    
    

    Back in the good old days I saw Peter Frampton back up Johhny Winter. 
    Peter played "Do you Feel Like I do?" and blew the roof off the 
    arena. Johnny said "How the hell am I gonna follow that!"

    I saw Peter Frampton Open up for Stevie Nicks Three years ago.
    
    She Should've Opened up for him....... Better yet Open up for me! :-)

    RE: "lines on my face" is definitely one of my favorite PF tunes!!!
    	The guy is capable of writing some really nice stuff.  And I'm
    	not saying I don't like him at all, I'm just wishy-washy about
    	him.  Like Greg said, it's "safe" material.
    
    	Also, I get the point of the original reply's intent.  Two
    	mismatched bands.
    
    	One of the most mismatched lineups I ever saw/heard was,...get
    this...
    
    
    	Mahavishnu Orchestra backing up J. Geils at Sullivan Stadium!!!
    
    	joe.

There's always Jimi Hendrix opening for the Monkees on his US tour debut.

I saw Rush open for Areosmith.  Both were good, but I wanted to see Rush
more.  This was in Montreal where they definitely had the crowd on their
feet.

							Tim

    Rush opened for Aerosmith...in CANADA???
    That's wierd.

I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn open up for the Moody Blues at the Centrum. Stevie is 
out there wailing away on "Voodoo Chile", playing behind his back, playing above
his head, feedback roaring away.

Then the Moody Blues come out with their acoustics...........

It was pretty funny!

    How about Dokken opening for Lover Boy.   Agagagagagagagaga...
    
    Don't get me wrong, I like Lover Boy <Gasp!>, but Dokken embarassed
    the heck out of 'em at Great Woods...
    
    IMHO, of course...

    	How about TESLA opening for POISON....what a joke...TESLA could
    show those...*guys* a thing or two...
    
    BK
    

    You aren't kidding! What about the chicks in front of us screaming
    and crying.... !
    
    Personally, I think Tesla is a better band musically, but Poison
    opened because they are more "popular" than Tesla..
    
    CJ

    Well, I like Tesla a WHOLE lot better than Poison, but Poison is
    a good band and they have their crap TOGETHER.  They put on a great
    show, but I wasn't surprised that Tesla opened...Even if they do
    roooool.
    
    An unlikely mix for sure...
    
    jc

    
    
    	What's nice is that shortly thereafter, Tesla DID headline!
    	Granted - it was CO-headlining (with Great White) but they
    	got their spotlight.
    
    	Everyone gets their turn.  (8

	night.  

	Deen's comment was "yeah, but we'll blow them off the stage".
	No word yet on wether they did or not.
