Ooops! My Bad...
off topic sorry, this is a dumb question, but where does that "my bad" come from?
my guitarists old band got too open for "the presidents of the united states of america". i thought that was pretty cool
I'm due to open for Diamond Head in April.
Also on the bill are pop-rock band The Calling (remember them?) and US metalcore act Still Remains.

Got called in and opened for John Micheal Montgomery once. One of the only country gigs I ever did.
Over the years I subbed with most of those guys.
In my brief stint in an original band ( an industrial noise type /art band) we opened for Nine Inch Nails a couple of times,Ministry and I believe The Thrill Kill Cult. And once White Zombie opened for us, they were brand new at the time.

1) Thanks! I kinda grew up around celebrity, and so I never really made much of a deal over anyone...so as for the hotel breakfast with Diz; It didn't even strike me as all that much of a big deal at the time, but in retrospect I've thought to myself "man, just how cool was that?...breakfast with Dizzy!". The cat just came over, and sat down with me. I suppose if I ever do a jazz record myself, I might just call it "breakfast w/Dizzy". Too cool. Makes me smile.
In my high school band, the guitarist was Dizzy's last giutar player, Ed Cherry.
We'd sit in the back of class and try to figure out how to get out of school and go N.Y.C. for the day.

My first band (actually my first gig!) opened for The Mentors in July of 1991 at the Stone in San Francisco.
Opened for Fates Warning (the Stone, 1992),
Gary Hoey (The Edge, Palo Alto, 1997),
and played supporting slots for
The Donna's (before they had an album out)
DEATH (yup, you guessed it, a death metal band),
also played on the same bill as
Gene Loves Jezebel (Monterey Rock Festival in 1999)
and Agent Orange (Skate Park Festival, Stockton, CA - 2000)

I'm all jazzed up right now. I have to leave in about 90 minutes to go set-up and do a quick sound check at Club Infinity in Williamsville, NY (Buffalo area). 
The Gavin Petrie Trio is opening for EOTO. Jason Hann & Michael Travis of The String Cheese Incident are doing improvised dance music (no pre recorded tracks) in the styles of Breakbeat, House, IDM, Downtempo, and Drum n' Bass.
I've never opened for a national act before and I'm complete psyched! Wish me luck.
Peace,
Joe

UPDATE:
Last night was a blast! EOTO was really cool. Jason Hann & Michael Travis actually ended up spending the night over Gavin's house (our keyboard player). They stayed up until 4am jamming and chatting.
