I was talking to my friend when we were waiting for The Killers to come on a couple of weeks ago at the M.E.N. about the best and worst support acts we've seen. Who've you seen that have been really good or really bad?

For me, the best is either Editors, who I've seen quite a few times as a support act now and then the one that surprised me more than anything was Sound of Guns who were brilliant before Miles Kane at the Deaf Institute in Manchester. The worst has got to be a toss up between Eagles of Death Metal and Ratatat, who were both absolutely dismal.

I attended a week long rock concert at ally pally - London 1973. The climax of the gig was Friday night Black Sabbath
which was jam packed with among others a large number of German/Japanese tourists. The support band for the night was Stackridge whose performance was surreal/outstanding. Their main song was "do the stanley" which appeared to be a pisstake of "the Lambeth walk". They took the audience so high they were still coming down when Ozzy started his stuff and it was hard work to hold the audience - bet Stackridge never supported 'em again

Best I ever saw - Bad Manners' support at Manchester Uni in about 1990. They had the then unknown (on this side of the water) Bim Skala Bim who promptly blew them off stage.
More recently I saw DC Fontana support The Lambrettas, and were better by a large degree.

Saw The Cribs support Kaiser Chiefs many a time and they were ace in those days!

Worst, oh man! Always hated Maximo Park live as the lead singer was irritating (and my ex at the time loved him)

Best support bands
The Subways supporting Razorlight
The Cribs supporting Kaiser Chiefs and vice versa
Kasabian supporting Oasis
The Black Angels supporting BRMC
Rodrigo y Gabriela supporting Muse
Art Brut supporting Maximo Park (only reason I went to that gig was to see Art Brut)
Mind has gone blank for bad support as I try and forget them, I will have to look back through ticket stubs to remind me.

Saw Shed 7 at the NYNEX Arena (M.E.N) in 97, they where supporting Aerosmith on their Nine Lives Tour, on this particular occasion they actually blowed Aerosmith of the stage IMO
