@@RockedNet Primus and Tool was a weird one I didn't get to see. I did get to see NIN and Bowie in 1994. One of the best ever. Just the set transition between the two was incredible. Also saw Limp Bizkit open for Faith No More in 1997, and I didn't get to see it but my friends did, Kid Rock opening for Monster Magnet during the Dopes to Infinity tour.
I went to that U2 and RATM concert in the 90’s in Vegas. I actually won tickets off the radio and even though it was a huge stadium and we had nosebleeds - it was an absolutely AMAZING show! Rage was of course sonically fantastic and U2 sounded great plus the entire set was HUGE and could probably have been seen from space.
I can see the show being fun, even if with different sounding groups. Also, U2 doesn't need stage lighting. Bono's aura lights up the arena when he enters.
@@RockedNet Totally didn't need the giant mirrorball lemon that they would often get stuck inside, or an intro to their own cover of 'Pop Muzik' as Bono enters the stage looking like a boxer, but hey it was at least the group at their most bombastic. I've often said that the 'Pop' era was the band's mid-life crisis, doesn't mean I hate it, but it sure explains a lot.
@@RockedNet I like you Luke but I really wish you'd stop stereotyping EVERY single fan of FFDP(I was especially dissapointed to hear that in yesterday's Rock Coliseum), like we're not all roid-raging energy drink chugging violent dudebros ya know. I like the band(in spite of some of the dumb crap they've said in real life, though it's still not as bad as what say certain members of The DefTones and System of a Down have said)and i'm none of those things. I just don't think a person is bad just because they like bands you don't like(except fans of bands who preach say nazi stuff like Skrewdriver, fuck those assholes).
Jimi also played a impromptu concert on a volcano in Maui in the 60's that was recorded for a movie soundtrack, was never released, was buried in a vault, and didn't see the light of day until 2020... Nothing should be surprising about Jimi and the 60's
My favorite example is Incubus, SOAD, and Mr. Bungle touring together in 1999. Bungle was playing their own weird stuff to a crowd of nu metal kids and got shit thrown at them every night.
The weirdest tour I ever heard of is also one of the best and that is Nine Inch Nails touring with David Bowie - not only did they play there own sets but they did a small joint set playing each others songs together. I have managed to track down a bootleg recording from the shows and it sounds brilliant just a shame people at the time didn't get it
Went to Snoop Dog and the Dave Mathew’s Band in Denver in 2013. Weed wasn’t legal then; but our ride had to drop us off a quarter of a mile away (we hadn’t brought any pot) by the time we got to the outdoor arena we all had a contact high. Crazy enough at said outdoor arena - I was almost thrown out by security for lighting a cigarette in “non-smoking” area as everyone around me were smoking joints and out of pipes. 😂
Fun fact, there's a mashup of Runnin' With the Devil and Celebration that exists on the internet and it sounds so good despite the two artists being so different
@@someguy7424 Those are also great! Other great collabs he's done that are great are Ratt's Round and Round Mashed Up with Marvin Gaye's Heard It Through the Grapevine, the Billy Idol/Bob Marley Mashup, and my personal favorite is The Clash's Rock the Casbah, Rick James' Superfreak and Deep Purple's Space Truckin'.
I went to the family values tour back in 99 with Primus opening for limp bizkit... quite honestly. It wasn't that bad... made me a fan for both bands ever since.
Heaven & Hell with Coheed and Cambria sounds like an epic tour where you bring your Fantasy and Sci Fi friends together, everyone gets high, and it's a 50/50 shot which fictional universe you end up in by the end of the night.
Ok... Nine Inch Nails "opening" for David Bowie. And by "opening" I mean both bands weaving their sets together into one cohesive performance. If you see anything from this tour, look up the performance of Hurt that they did together. Love the original, love Johnny Cash's version, but the duet with Bowie is something else entirely
Zack once told a story from that tour where he was talking with Bono. He'd been invited onto Bono's private plane where there was a lady whose sole job was to light his cigarettes. Each admired their work--well, Zack liked early U2--so they had that in common. 😀
Bloodywood (Indian Folk/rap metal band) and A Killer's Confession (alternative metal band led by former Mushroomhead vocalist Waylon) was a bit unusual as aside from both being being vaguely nu metalish they have different vibes and demographics, but I was a fan of both groups so it the show went pretty well for me.
U2 always has "odd" openers. I saw them in Vegas on the tour with Rage, but even weirder, I saw them in 1987-ish with Public Enemy and The Sugar Cubes as the openers.
Unfortunately, Manson has become a complete sh!t performer live. I've seen at least two shows where he would just half-ass the songs or walk off the stage halfway through. At one point, he'd go into rants of "bitch better have my money." He was truly awesome in his heyday, but now is entirely skippable.
When I saw Slayer's final tour, they had 3 openers. Phil Anselmo and the Illegals covering Pantera, Ministry doing a 30 year anniversary set for The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, and the odd band out, Primus.
@@RockedNet I saw it in south Dakota at the Denny Stanford premiere center witch holds 12000 people. I think about a third of the crowd left after Brantley and Ivan had to stop the show because their was a fight in the crowd.
Honestly, this one's not too surprising to me. I used to work with a guy who was a typical "good ol' boy"/trashy redneck type, and he loved 5FDP (and other similar bands), but he also listened to a lot of that shitty bro country music like what Brantley Gilbert is known for. So there's a lot of overlap between those fan bases.
Prince opened a few shows for the Rolling Stones during the Tattoo You tour in 1981. Prince was not well received on those shows because he showed up on stage in bikini briefs.
In October of last year, I been to Static X and Sevendust when they co-headlined last year, which made me discover Sevendust and Home is now one of my favorite nu metal ablums, and they sounded great live. As for Static X, it always felt off knowing Xero is the vocalist of Dope dressed as a Cybernetic version of the late Wayne Static. I also thought Xero was using backing tracks.
The Birthday Massacre co-headlining w/ Black Veil Brides in 2010. Not the right kind of angst Andy Sixx, and the crowd let you know. TBM later apologized for the clueless concert promoter.
Oh, I went to the Van Halen and Kool & the Gang show in Ottawa. I got tickets and was able to take my dad to see Van Halen, his favourite band. I'll always be happy I got to do that for him even if it was decades after the band's prime. They were still great.
I'm surprised you didn't go with the tour where Hendrix opened for the Monkees in a showing that made him decide he would only ever do shows if he was the closing act.
Judas Priest opening for REO Speedwagon in (I think) 1977. Priest we’re getting heavier and REO were shifting away from the Midwest Hard Rock they were doing in the early 70s towards the sound that made them big stars for a few years.
Smashing Pumpkins, Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds and AFI all toured together around 2018 in the USA Alterbridge, Volbeat and Gojira did a Uk tour together in 2016
I seem to remember Rage were the support act for Kiss at a gig in London in around 1997. I saw the advert for it Kerrang! - the amazing Thunder were also supporting with 3 Colours Red. Eclectic to say the least...
I saw Atmosphere open for American Head Charge in the year 2000. That was an odd show. Also, Prince famously got booed off the stage opening for the Rolling Stones in 1981
OK, I like AHC though I'm not a diehard fan, and my brother introduced me to Atmosphere ages ago, good rap group... but together? Really? How would *that* work?! It was weird enough seeing Marz open for Korn back in the day, but AHC & Atmosphere, I dunno. That's a huge clash of styles
@@ideitbawxproductions1880 They are both from Minneapolis and both were getting hot at the same time. It was just a one off show. I believe it was to celebrate AHC getting signed to American Records. There were 3 other local metal bands before Atmosphere, then AHC after.
Deftones, Chvrches and Gojira were the top 3 acts for the 2019 Dia De Los Deftones festival. Some metalheads took issue with synthpop group Chvrches getting billed over Gojira, with Hatebreed's Jamie Jasta openly beefing with the band online over his disdain for their high placement
When I saw RATM at the Manchester Apollo in 1996, the opening act was a guy called The James Hall Experience - he came out solo, and played a trumpet for about half an hour. I was aware that Tim & Brad were massively into jazz; however it was still an extremely confusing choice of support act...
I saw a double bill of Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit and Father John Misty. Two of my favorites (plus Isbell is referenced in FJM's Mr. Tillman), but I remember a review saying, "The only way it would seem these two would associate with each other would be if Isbell was Misty's sponsor"
U2 have been supported by everyone over the years - Oasis, The Prodigy, Velvet Underground, Kings of Leon, Jay Z, Kanye, Green Day, Coldplay, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, PJ Harvey. Rage Against The Machine is not a leap in that context.
I went to the Heaven & Hell and Coheed & Cambria tour in 2009. Great show and my only time seeing Dio live in any of his groups. His last show ever in Michigan and one of his last overall shows ever. I'm glad I skipped work and went.
@@RockedNet He sounded really good. Didn't think anything weird at the time about Coheed & Cambria opening for them or even today as they do have a solid metal portion of their catalog. They do play "Heaven & Hell" quite a bit live although not on this tour.
Maybe you could do "The Odd Band Out" on Rock and Metal Festivals. There were some strange ones like Foo Fighters playing after Pantera on the Ozzfest in 1998, or Primus playing between Slipknot and Slayer a year later. Yes, seriously - check it out on the Penelope Spheeris documentary, "We Sold Our Souls For Rock 'n' Roll".
Not sure if you'd call it weird, but I remember going to a Children of Bodom concert with Devin Townsend and Septicflesh opening. THAT was still a great show.
I don't know if it's the original weird line up, but The Monkees went on tour with The Jimi Hendrix Experience as support. Hendrix hadn't quite broken through in the US and his act didn't go down too well with the audience who had come to see The Monkees. When he sang "Foxey Lady", they audience would respond by yelling "Davy!". This wasn't the only time that The Monkees would have an unusual choice for a support act though, in the early 80s, The Monkees reunited (sans Nesmith who was busy inventing MTV at the time) and their support act was Weird Al. Another odd choice of opener would have to go to Elton John as on a 70s US tour, he brought along Scottish comedian Billy Connolly as his opening act. Billy has since described the reception that he received as being made to feel about as welcome as a fart in a space suit.
I saw Hoobastank do their anniversary tour for The Reason a few weeks ago and the opener was an underground band called GENN, who are actually a psychedelic post-punk band. I think the band were aware their style of music was a bit out of place for supporting a butt-rock anniversary tour but the Hoobastank fans there gave them a very kind and warm reception!
I saw Hed PE in 2021 and they had 5 bands of various styles opening. Starting out with a rap artist, a metallic hardcore band, a heavy metal band, a reggae rock artist, trap metal band drop out kings, then Hed PE themselves who were a mix of all those styles. Im guessing hed pe's not liked on this channel but oh well
I think this is great! I always loved the idea of Slayer and Tori Amos doing a tour together. Imagine Tori’s piano over “South of Heaven”, or Slayer making “Cornflake Girl” into a beautiful, brutal song. I hate festivals where it’s all one genre being played all weekend. Mixing it up in a drastically fucked-ip mix would be super interesting.
I saw both the C & C/H & H tour, as well as Van Halen & Kool and the Gang. I wouldn't think that the latter combo would work, but the nostalgia worked. In fact, watching Kool and the Gang reminded me that the band was so much more than "Celebration" even if that was the song that was constantly on the dance floors at various school functions. As for other combos, here's a few: David Bowie & Nine Inch Nails (1995): SOmeone else mentioned this one, and I'll second it. It was when Bowie was in his industrial stage, and the two kind of worked. It was interesting watching Trent take on Scary Monsters & Super Creeps, with Bowie doing a few verses of Hurt. Anthrax and Public Enemy (1991): Given that they worked together on a cover of Bring the Noise, this wasn't as much of a shock as one might think. But still to have this rap and thrash metal act come together was quite a think. I didn't catch this tour live, but I'm sure it was quite interesting. Eminem and Limp Bizkit (2000): This was quite the interesting double-bill, as it feature two of the biggest acts of 2000 in their respective genres. Although I was there largely for Limp Bizlkit, I could appreciate the flows of Eminem Moby and Bush (2000): Another very odd pairing, with the grunge band Bush teaming up with the electronica of Moby. I'm not sure this pairing worked really well together, but I could appreciate both bands. One other lineup I'll include is the 1990 Clash of Titans tour, which featured three of the Big Four of thrash--Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth. But what was odd was their opener--Alice in Chains. If memory serves, Alice in Chains were on the rise, although I don't believe they were yet as big as they would become. Yet it was still an unusual opener. Finally, some of these one-off shows put together by radio stations can get downright weird. In December 1995, an alternative Chicago station sponsored Twisted Christmas, featuring: Alanis Morrisette, White Zombie, Oasis, Silverchair, Goo Goo Dolls, Soul Asylum and Porno for Pyros
Haha The Bends was a landmark britpop album in 1995 and any normal European radio station had both Morissette and Radiohead in their rotation, so that's probably only flaw in this video. You could have mentioned the Public Enemy- sisters of Mercy tour in the early 1990s in stead.
Fairly recent, but I'd say Empire State Bastard opening for Sleep Token is a rather unusual one. Although, arguably, Sleep Token is in their own category at this point, so anything goes. (shrug)
I always thought the sum 41 tour with the amity affliction and the plot in you opening for them was strange but I love all of those bands so I wasn’t mad
Rammstein opened up for kiss in Kiss' Latin American tour. It made sense visually as Rammstein is inspired by Kiss' pyro, however, that tonal shift must have been insane when they went from heirate mich to love gun
In 88 89 theer was sisters of mercy with public enemy for the first half (of the tour)then neil young. It was one of their first us tours in a few years both ended early. the culture Shock was massive sisters of mercy did odd lineups in Europe for years. Eldrich had great respect for both artists in the end he was disappointed in the fans not being open to other kinds of music. The goths and the hip hop fans clashed neil young Fanshawe similar chalenges.
In 2003 I saw the Flaming Lips with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This was Yoshimi/Californication tours. Young me was there for the peppers, old me is Stoked I got to see the Yoshimi tour.
You should look at the history of Red Hot Chili Pepper openers. A lot of them are good pairings. But some of the openers include bands and rappers like Crazy Town, Ice Cube, Buddy Guy, Ken Carson just to name a few Also the Limp Bizkit tour this summer is a random group of acts that makes too much sense Speaking of Limp Bizkit and Primus. They toured together again on the Family Values tour in 1999 with acts like Filter, Method Man & Redman, and Mobb Deep which is hilarious. The tour was also supposed to have System of a Down, Ja Rule, DMX and ICP in some capacity
Honestly the fact Slaughter To Prevail opened up for Marilyn Manson and 5FDP makes it even weirder lol Also, I'm exactly the type who would want a Van Halen and Kool And The Gang tour! :D
On the New Zealand leg of his Glass Spider tour, David Bowie was supported by a traditional Maori dance troop. From what I've heard, it didn't go down well.
Avenged Sevenfold, Poppy, Sullivan King this year that one seems very odd at first glace, since they were all from different scenes (metal, pop and EDM respectively) and while poppy had famously shifted to metal/rock and been touring with such bands for several years, her newest material around that tour had mostly returned to her electropop roots. Meanwhile Sullivan King is from the bass music scene (basically heavy dubstep) and while incorporates metal elements such as shred guitars like and screams he had previously only toured with other edm bass acts. But when considering avenged sevenfolds recent shift to avant-guard metal that incorporated many other genres, it makes sense to have two acts that incorporate metal into other genre's
Train and REO Speedwagon recently toured together............and I simply found that such a HUGE head-scratching matchup. For one: even though you can say that Train's roots were in essentially being a Led Zeppelin cover band (which Pat Monahan would later go on to record a Led Zeppelin covers album under the band's name despite the rest of the original band pretty much being long gone at that point)............as well as their first several albums being decidedly roots rock................they've been anything BUT rock these past fifteen or so years. REO Speedwagon, on the other hand..........despite also always being critical punching bags throughout the heights of their commercial career.............were always unmistakably and fundamentally an arena rock band even in their most pop-sensible, adult contemporary-aiming moments. So even when REO Speedwagon's commercial success became solely limited to the adult contemporary charts by the turn of the century, you wouldn't mistake the band as being more any other genre and are essentially a relic of their era alongside Styx, Chicago and Status Quo. With Train, though, they're practically unrecognizable from their roots and it's just painfully awkward whiplash imagining hearing "Hey Soul Sister" on the heels of "Keep The Fire Burnin'", or "Drive By" on the heels of "Live It Up". XD
Hole (Celebrity Skin era) and Marilyn Manson (The Dope Show era) in 1999 was a strange combination for me. Eventually, Hole bailed and were replaced by Monster Magnet (Powertrip era).
I didn't see this tour but I heard about, and looked up to confirm it occurred, but Smashing Pumpkins with Fountains of Wayne as the opener seems wild to me.
I'm going to go chaos mode and wonder what a tour with Rage Against the Machine and Five Finger Death Punch would look like, and would be curious to see how long it takes for the fanbases to go at each other. (I'm not an Arachist BTW, I'm just doing it just for the LOLs.)
I saw 97 Limp Bizkit open for Faith No More. They were pretty much booed off the stage. And then a few months later, saw Clutch opening for LB on an equally nonsensical bill.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snoop Dogg at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion in Woodlands, Texas. I believe this was just a one time show but what a missed opportunity for what could’ve been “The Chilli-Dogg tour”
where's tool & king crimson in japan? here's a few more i just remembered. NIN opening for... the wonder stuff? yeah, this happened in late 1991 after NIN got kicked out of the GNR tour because they didn't fit despite axl being a fan of NIN.
U2 and Rage Against the Machine is such an odd combination. One is rock with a calming feel, along with the electronic pop at the time and the other is full of… well Rage. It probably does look like a good show.
In 2011 I went to a concert called the divine rascals tour it was Carlos Santana with opener...George Lopez...doing a comedy set then Santana came out and played the hits
