.................but what are we supposed to do with them then?

as we always did in the 80's discreetly top the persons in front of beer up when they put it down to clap ..standard

Why would you have a hip-hop band support a rock/pop band?

Because you then get bands like the awesome Clawfinger.

In the late 70s you used to get lots of reggae bands supporting punk bands and that turned into Two Tone/Ska

Went to the Queens of the Stone age tour last year, they were supported by a band called Broncho. Just awful.

All That Remains when supporting Dragonforce in 2006 were pretty abysmal. Dragonforce themselves went and trumped it by being even worse.

I saw Dragonforce at Donnington that year - Just awful live but then again lots of bands who I love also seemed "off" like Tool, Deftones and Cradle etc so I don't know if there was a bigger issue.

I've seen a few good live performances from them on youtube but I swore I'd never see them again after. It was truly appalling. Only time in my life I've left a gig early.

Just on my way home from seeing Steel Panther, good music and hilarious banter throughout
