After looking at the opening acts for the last leg of the Vertigo tour for 2005, I think Bono and the boys have lost their minds. Damien Marley is opening for them in Oakland in November, and nothing goes better together with U2 than Reggae. Check out this website for some dope t-shirts. Yes, bad pun intended. And then in December Kanye West is opening. With his ego, I'm kinda surprised U2 isn't the opening act. It was bad enough to endure the Kings of Leon during the Spring leg of the Vertigo Tour, but this is too much. Then again, I watched PJ Harvey open for them on the Elevation tour in 2001, and she is, to date, the single worst "musician" I have ever seen. After about 5 minutes of what sounded like sticking cats in a blender I could no longer take the sound and waited outside on the concourse for her to finish.
Of course, I have seen them with good opening acts too. No Doubt opend for them on the Elevation Tour as well, and they were excellent. And back on the Popmart tour Oasis opened for them, and they were pretty good as well.
So when going to see u2, the opening bands are great, or they just flat out suck

I agree. While sticking cats in a blender might be fun, you don't do it for the sound they make.
