Funeral For A Friend opened for Iron Maiden and also when Cave in opened for Foo Fighters...I actually prefered them to the Foo's

Cave In? for the Foo Fighters? wow. that must have been pretty crazy.

Trail of Dead opening for the Foos a good half-decade ago, and probably Sepultura opening for Motorhead. All great until your mum says she quite enjoyed it too.

the rifles, help her she can't swim and the infadels all really impressed me as opening acts.

The Greenhornes opened for the White Stripes when I saw them, they were pretty good. When I saw Eric Clapton, he had the Robert Randolph Family Band open for him, and that was ****ing awesome, practically stole the show. More energy than Clapton's had in years, if ever. I haven't seen too many openers, most bands I see don't use them.

Opening acts span the spectrum from Wow! to Wha?! - best opening act I've seen in the last five years or so was definitely Flogging Molly fronting the Bosstones - what a freaking kick-a$$ show!! we came in during FM's set and after about three songs my Bro and I looked at each other like "I don't know what the hell they're doing, but they sure are good at it!" So cool to see someone you've never heard and they shred!!!

Sure...
Saw Slayer and DamagePlan opened for them
Saw Megadeth and Exodus opened for them

Submersed opening for Disturbed.
Although i really dont like Submersed stuff on any of thier cd's, they put on one hell of a show. They covered "Wherever I May Roam"- Metallica , to perfection.
