The Black Crowes did open for the Stones already, Wembley Stadium July 1995. I was there. It started to rain quite heavily and the Crowes had to stop playing after a mere 30 minutes because their equipment wasn't up to playing in the rain like the Stones' stuff is (??!!!), is what we were told...
They sounded like crap BTW in such a large stadium, songs totally didn't have the impact they normally have in a club. More so than with the Stones.

but those bands you mentioned are pretty tame live. Mettallica gets fans pretty rabid. I suspect we are in for another AC/DC dibacle (sp?)
you are right that The Black Crowes should open for the Stones!
Every fucking show!
its a BRILLIANT IDEA cuz then they could have the Crowes playing in the wings covering for the Stones!!!! This way, when Keef plays the intro to CYHMK it'll sound like Keith Richards playing it and not like Melissa Ethridge. And all those times when Ronnie is acting the fool and waving to the crowd, there will be a soaring Mick Taylor-esque solo in its place.
great, great idea!!! |

HELEN REDDY lyrics - "Angie Baby"
You live your life in the songs you hear
On the rock and roll radio
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends
That's a really nice place to go
Folks hoping you'd turn out cool
But they had to take you outta school
You're a little touched you know, Angie Baby
Lovers appear in your room each night
And they whirl you across the floor
But they always seem to fade away
When your daddy taps on your door
Angie girl, are you all right
Tell the radio good-night
All alone once more, Angie Baby
Angie Baby, you're a special lady
Living in a world of make-believe
Well, maybe
Stopping at her house is a neighbor boy
With evil on his mind
'Cause he's been peeking in Angie's room
At night through her window blind
I see your folks have gone away
Would you dance with me today
I'll show you how to have a good time, Angie Baby
When he walks in her room,
He feels confused like he's walked into a play
And the music's so loud it spins him around
'Til his soul has lost its way
And as she turns the volume down
He's getting smaller with the sound
It seems to pull him off the ground
Toward the radio he's bound never to be found
The headlines read that a boy disappeared
and everyone thinks he died
'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover
Who keeps her satisfied
It's so nice to be insane
No one asks you to explain
Radio by your side, Angie Baby
Angie Baby, you're a special lady
Living in a world of make-believe
Well, maybe
Well, maybe

Metallica has a huge fan base around here. I won't go out of my way to see Metallica but they do put on a hell of a show. Their fans are rabid! Who knows if they will pony up $450 for a ticket? |

Shit, I think this is a pretty cool idea. The Stones will be just fine with Metallica as openers. Wish I were going to these shows. |

From Metallica's Official Web Site:
After taking three weeks off (!?) we thought it might be fun to play a few small intimate gigs (Kimo's, anyone??) so we called up our close personal friends, the Rolling Stones, to see what they were up to . . . turns out that they are doing a stadium tour of North America!
Nah - seriously . . . last week we were honored to receive an invitation from the Stones to share the stage with them in our home town. After having the thrill of playing with some of our personal heroes such as AC/DC, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden and Ozzy, how could we say "no" to the quintessential rock band, who are in some way responsible for all of this?
These two shows are about nothing other than having fun and playing music . . . nothing to sell, nothing to promote, nothing to talk about . . . no fuckin' agenda at all. Simply put, this is the reason we started a band 25 or so years ago, and we are psyched and appreciative of this awesome opportunity to get cracking again...
Tickets for November 13th are already sold out, but tickets are still available for the November 15th show. (click here for tickets). If you are a member of The Metallica Club, check the Metclub.com website to find out how you can purchase a special allocation of tickets, selected just for Clubbers!
Here's the full press release for the rest of the masses:
METALLICA TO SPECIAL GUEST FOR THE ROLLING STONES IN SAN FRANCISCO ON NOVEMBER 13TH AND 15TH AT SBC PARK
NEW YORK, NY - (August 2nd, 2005)
Metallica will be the special guest for the Rolling Stones as part of their "A Bigger Bang" World tour at SBC Park in San Francisco on November 13th and 15th.

Metallica joins a diverse list of top opening acts, including the Black Eyed Peas, Maroon 5, Pearl Jam, John Mayer Trio, Les Trois Accords, The Tragically Hip, Our Lady Peace, Trey Anastasio, Joss Stone and Beck.

The only band that we have never played with but have always wanted to is The Rolling Stones," says Metallica's drummer Lars Ulrich.
"Having the opportunity to play with them this November in our hometown of San Francisco is both an honor and a privilege. And it's bound to be a lot of fuckin' fun especially since we haven't special guested since 1992! These shows will enable us to recharge our batteries, both creatively and physically, as we prepare for the next phase of Metallica."
Tickets for The Rolling Stones at SBC Park on November 13th are sold out. Tickets for the November 15th performance are on sale now at BGP.com, Ticketmaster.com and at all Ticketmaster outlets including Tower Records, Wherehouse Music, Ritmo Latino, select Save Mart and select FYE stores, and Tix Bay Area in Union Square.

The best of both worlds, a local band with a lot of drawing power to sell tickets and 0 chance of being upstaged. The crowd will be SO ready for The Stones. |

A push up tickets idea, but the same happened with AC/DC and worked very well. |

Metallica and AC/DC should in no way be compared to each other. Two different leagues....Little League and the Pro's, the possiblity existed that AC/DC could upstage the Stones. No such possibilty exists with Metallica. But let 'em buy the tickets.
