Members Meatbeard Posted July 29, 2006 Members Share Posted July 29, 2006 I wouldn't hardly consider any of these bands famous, but my old hxc punk band from about 2 or 3 years back here in houston opened for a tour which included Underoath, Atreyu, 18Visions, and Himsa. We also opened for Between the Buried and Me, Alexisonfire, Kid Dynamite, It Dies today, and a handful of others. I know, all of these bands are small flashes in the pan, but we sure thought it was cool at the time ha. Actually, 3 or 4 of those bands mentioned have a huge draw now.

Members Mr. Shankly Posted July 29, 2006 Members Share Posted July 29, 2006 A band I was in a few years back opened for the Misfits @ Cleveland Music Fest. We played well and got a ton of show offers and I thought things we're cool. The band broke up when we got home from Cleveland due to the drummer..... lame.

Members Filter428 Posted July 29, 2006 Members Share Posted July 29, 2006 My old band Jackals (no, not the chainsaw band. We played in N.Y. circa '80 thru '86) consisted of:Tony Harnell (TNT)Brian Coady (Jesse Evans)John Tempesta (The Cult)and me! We weren't famous or anything like that but amassed a nice following.Oh...in L.A. I did a gig with The Troy Horne band and we opened for Corey Feldman's band!

Members BandofThievesâ„¢ Posted July 30, 2006 Members Share Posted July 30, 2006 Originally posted by The Friendly Ranger Yeah, he's a singer/songwriter/keyboard kind of guy. I haven't really gotten to know him yet. I've only played with him on a few occasions over the past year but never knew he was since I'm not a native Alabaman (only been here 15 years). I was curious, did some research and found out about Hotel and all the bands they toured with. When I saw your list I figured your paths may have crossed at some point. His website says that he did tour with Mothers Finest and the Dregs. Here's an excerpt from his site: Played several colleges in the southeast with Hotel and Split the Dark Toured with Hall&Oates, Little River Band, 38 Special, Poco, Wet Willie, America, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and The Dixie Dregs Opened for Toto, Leo Sayer, Mother's Finest, and Charlie Daniels It's really weird but as a church musician I've had the opportunity to gig with guys like this that did the rock 'n' roll thing but came back home and settled down. It's funny to be doing a gig with someone and find out that they toured with a major artist or that they were Ty Tabor's guitar tech. The cool thing about it to me is that they are just down to earth people that are fun to play with and joke around with. I sent my old Bass Player an email.He might remember.He was the socialite.I never got High or went to the after parties.My only vice was Practice and females. Maybe we did meet.I have met so many folks over the years,jammed,etc hung out ,went guitar shopping etc..But you are right.We all put our pants on the same way..Only true jerk I ever met or worked with in my life was David Allen Coe."I kept my promise David" One person that left me speechless was Mr. James Burton..Maybe it was because of Rick nelson and seeing him with Elvis in Hawaii,bt my legs turned to jello..He laughed,I sat down,we talked..I'll never forget that.Me Speechless...

Members RamaLama Fafafa Posted July 30, 2006 Members Share Posted July 30, 2006 I played in a couple of bands in the late 80s/early 90s that opened for some bands that most people probably haven't heard, but I was excited at the time so I'll list them anyway. Dagnasty The Didjits Soul Side Ignition Codeine I think that's it except for local bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
