Possible Musical Opening Acts For Al

Post by **RyanHippFTW** » Wed Apr 09, 2008 3:41 am

I think internet personalities (and comedy musicians) Rhett and Link would do good for comedic music.

For serious I would choose Stan Bush (The Touch and Dare from Transformers: The Movie), because hard core fans would know him from their copies of the album and he is really talented.

Who would you want?

Al usually doesn't have someone open for him. Sometimes the venue will hire a local comedian to do some stand-up before hand, though.

If the tour was like the last leg then there won't be an opening act...The Poodle Hat tour had an opening act but this tour they've decided to ditch it.

No opening act= more time for Al to perform. Just sayin'.

Of course, I suppose they feel obliged to do SOMETHING at times, at outdoor venues while they wait for the sun to go down so we can see the video screen.

The Melbourne SOL show had an opening act. I can't remember who she was, but if she was local, then whoever hired her really dropped the ball. Melbourne has heaps of more talented comedians. I bet Adam Hills would have done it for free.

The question is what musical act would you want to open for him.

I think Cake would be perfect, though really they'd be more suited to co-headline with Al.

Yeah, me either.

It would be really cool if Al and Ben Folds toured together.

I second that!
