they added Jason Mraz to open up Vegas, Fresno, Salt Lake City, Denver and Glendale/Phoenix.
jason mraz! thats hilarious!
WHY??????????
the Stones ARE SO OUT OF TOUCH!!!!!
Black Eyed Peas, John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Joss Stone and Maroon 5 belong playing on some American Idol/TRL Pepsi Summer Beach Jam. Not opening for the Worlds Greatest Rock And Roll Band!!!
where are the Stones-worthy acts????
and who the hell is picking these POP posers???? Mick's grandchildren???
this is embarrassing!!!!
when my friends ask me who's opening for the Stones I have to lie and say I dont know. |

You're giving me the feeling that not knowing who Jason Mraz is is a good thing...

he's actually a step down from Timberlake.
I can only imagine that the Stones are in hard negotiations right now trying to score either Ashleey Simpson or Outkast as the MSG opener. |

CRAP. Crapola. Total shit.
There are two good openers as far as I can recall - Beck and Pearl Jam - and I lucked out and got Beck in Hershey. He's the only one I really WANTED to see. I'm really not that into Pearl Jam, but compared to the friggin' Black Eyed Peas... |

Well personally speaking, I don't care who opens for them. Nor do I believe that the Stones care. As to who is picking the acts - who knows, is it the promoter? I dunno but adding these young pop people might be a vain attempt to draw a younger crowd. Of course, how many Mtv/American Idol kids can afford a Stones ticket? LOL
The only thing I know about the Blackeyed Peas is that stupid Best Buy commercial. LOL I don't care... I'll be shopping for Stones swag anyway! |

bitch all you want, I'm happy about seeing John Mayer open for the Philly show.
if you're one of the unlucky ones who's getting Black Eyed Peas - fuck it you were just gonna be out in the parking lot drinking beer anyway |

I lucked out with Wilco in Atlanta, but Jason Mraz in Denver? That's fucking hideous!!! Oh well, he won't be the first shitty opener I've skipped. |

i never go to a stones show to see the opener. the only time was jonny lang.
i don't care who opens...elmer fudd would sing "lucy in the sky" and i wouldn't care as long as i knew i was gonna see the stones play one more time!! |

Exactly! Who gives a shit about the openner? I have never went in to see an openning band at a Stones show. I've paid my hard earned cash to see the boys, and it's their day, no one elses! Besides that, I would rather spend that time in the parking lot getting juiced up and sloppy! |

respectfully disagree--I saw him on the Horde Tour a few times in '96..or was it '95?, anyway, he was quite good...so he IS capable of a good show...one can hope.... |

I know he's been good, i'm basing that on the show a few weeks ago. It was not that great BUT!!! had some great moments. |

Mixed feelings about openers here. If its someone I don't care about, then I can hold out for $10-20 for a stadium show. On the other hand, if its someone I really want to see, I will have to pay more money but then I am getting more value for my money, especially if its something like Metallica or Motley Crue at full volume.

They are awful indeed. However, here in Europe it's different, as we don't have appointed seats. If you want a decent view, you'll have to be there early, which also means no way of skipping a horrible opening act. So hoping for decent openers is even more important to most of us euros.
At least there's talk that Metallica might open for the Stones in Germany too. I might just have to pay my nice German neighbours a visit next year  |

I'd like to see Liz Phair, Sheryl Crow, Buddy Guy, Jet, or The Black Crowes open.

Yep, yep, yep.
I go to a Stones show to see the support act. Gimme a break. Tell me 99% of the audience couldnt give a stuff. I saw exactly 1 minute of Jet. They played to virtually no one. After 3 songs people were itchy.
Even the wonderful You am I supporting the WHo. They were ok....
...but they werent the Who.
WHy not just enjoy a beer with ya mates until the Stones come on? Why whine about crap? |

I've seen some pretty bad opening acts, but none of them actually killed me to watch. like you said, its a trade off - the more of the opener you miss the worse your seats are gonna be. obviously you've already made your choice. I've been in that position several times, and not with ONE bad opener, more like 5 or 6 (in a couple cases for headliners I had barely any interest in just because a friend invited me). a 45 minute set of anything won't kill you. my attitude is if you can't enjoy it, be respectful, at least to people around you trying to enjoy it, you're better off going to ebay and get your money back. nobody's forcing you to do anything. this negativity is a waste of time |
