Chris Carrabba must die.

As a hXc U2 fan, I am saddened/angered by this. Dashboard Confessional will open for U2 for the four Toronto dates next week (which are also the first dates on the third leg of U2's Vertigo 05 Tour), as well as the Chicago, Minneapolis, and Milwaukee dates.

His shitty band is not worthy of opening for the greatest band in the world.

I'm with ya.

*grabs pitchfork*

deal with it. everyones had to sit through a shitty opening band. thats why they are opening.

but it got you to know the guy's name, didn't it?

I remember when the Pixies opened up for U2 back then. Sorry, but not much of a U2 fan. We were about to leave once the Pixies finished but ended up staying. I'm glad I stayed,,,,,what a show!!

sounds like you got to be a part of ZOO TV...lucky

I'm still pissed that PJ Harvey opened for them for a million dollars a ticket. Then she came back to play the day before Halloween when all my money was spent on costumes, booze and drugs.

I blame U2.

PS. They suck.

did you see the unplugged Dashboard Confessional thing on MTV? Michael Stipe was in the audience and GLOWING at Chris when he did an R.E.M.cover...i think Mike has his new boy-toy

Wow... I don't think there's a musical act in this entire thread so far that I could actually tolerate listening to, even if I were shopping for jeans.

This is people like us grab a DC fan by then ankles, and start swinging away to the background music of Cannibal Corpse.

Oct '97, a friend of mine went to Minneapolis with a mutual friend of hers and her sister, ostensibly to visit the UM campus (my friend was then in twelfth grade, and doing the campus visit thing), but instead they shall Pop*Mart at the Metrodome.

Smash Mouth opened.

You like?

I. Doubt. It.

thefreak, What???

You say Cannibal Corpse like it's a bad thing.

PS... I really thought you meant Ryan Cabrerra for a second.

Its better than when the Datsuns opened for the Pixies.

I saw Goldfrapp the other night at a Coca Cola competition winners only event and had to suffer the musical disgrace of Hard-Fi.

Chris is an amazing song writer , I would like to see half of the rock musicians in the world try to play acoustic and nail every note. The world might be a better place. If you have the ear to know u2 is a great band why dont you listen to dc's set with an open mind you might enjoy yourself. As for swinging dc fans around by our ankles, ....go right ahead.......we'll just run off with your girlfriend when your done,............you know girls like that kissable and quite- in touch with my feelings-not afraid to say i love you-type

My friend saw Reel Big Fish at Cornell, and Dashboard opened for them.

If that's not two bands who don't belong together, I don't know what is.

I went and saw Bowie and Moby at the Gorge in Washington and also playing that day were Busta Rhymes and the Blue Man Group. Wow. It was like a series of weirder and weirder opening bands......

s'ok...i'm used to such situations

hear hear!

Hang him by his balls, throw rotten meat at him and dip him into firey water!!! Lets make sure Carraba's carrappa never sees the laser on another 13 y/o girls cd player!!!

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the dude is a cry baby!!! Girls, try dating that dude for a week, and I'll bet my life on the lot of ya running for Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead jus to get away from that Whaaaaaaaambulance riding, 2-ton bag of mango-sissy!!

Fuck no! CC is one of my fave bands.

if you drag that douche to a crash worship show i'm sure all three things will happen to him
