CrimsonE Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 This question is obviously 15 years out of date, but what the hell. Back when Rush did have opening acts, which one was your favorite? Primus was pretty cool for the CP show, but the one I enjoyed the most was Mr. Big, who opened the Presto and the summer gigs for RtB. One band I thought would be cool to open for them in 1990 was a quasi-supergroup called Bad English, which had John Waite, Neil Schon and Jonathan Cain. Unfortunately, that never happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never realized The Melvins opened for Rush (had to look it up). Primus was my favorite of those that I saw. Candlebox was fairly good too. I bet Eric Johnson would have been pretty cool. I did, however see The Melvins open for Primus in 93. Definately not my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
