Leslie West and the drummer. You could see they were bickering.   Then the drummer was throwing drum sticks off his cymbals aiming At Leslie West. So towards the end of Mississippi Queen (of all the songs to have this happen) Leslie took his guitar head and put it through his bass drum head. :lol

Wow.  :rollin :rollin :rollin.  Too bad that was back in 1944 when there were no cell phones, as video of that would have been awesome.

Even Faster Pussycat was better than Kiss, eh?
I actually saw Faster Pussycat open for KISS.  It was Trixter/ Faster Pussycat/ KISS on the Revenge Tour in Roanoke, VA.  General admission on the floor.  I managed to push up to the barricade and got a Gene Simmons pick (along with a Trixter pick and a FP pick).  KISS put on an awesome show.

I don't have it noted who opened for them when I saw them on that tour. It's probably the same bill you mentioned. That tour was amazing.

I saw them on their club tour before the actual tour and that was unbelievable. The opening band was a band called Shooting Gallery. Total Hollywood feel, but they were amazing, one of the best opening sets I've ever seen. It was the guitarist from Hanoi Rocks band. I just remember being fixated on their drummer. He was great.

I still listen to their album.

I didn't make it to any of those club shows,  I have videos of a number of them, though.  I would've loved to have made it to either the NYC or Brooklyn show.

Cinderella opened dates on both Eat 'Em And Smile (as did Tesla) and A Little Ain't Enough (with Extreme as a 3rd band).  Poison and Faster Pussycat were openers on Skyscraper.

Poison...I thought so. I think i could've been swayed to see the Skyscraper show if there was an opening band that I liked.


Faster Pussycat might literally be the worst band I ever saw live. Actually they were the second worst.

Even Faster Pussycat was better than Kiss, eh?

You hurt me.

It's relevant: one of the worst openers I've ever seen was for Van Halen on the OU812 tour.  It was a band called "Private Life" and they blew.   The only other one that was close was "Wang Chung" opening for The Cars.

Heh, I was just checking out some Wang Chung songs the other day to see if there was anything worthwhile there besides “Everybody Have Fun Tonight,” which is a really great pop tune. Can’t say I found anything to latch onto.

That was one of the worst songs, too.  I like Jack Hues as a singer, but that song was hard to take.  The drummer had a small-ish kit, and he spent a good part of the song standing up clapping his hands over his head and hitting the bass drum.  God bless his stamina but he looked ridiculous.

I remember going to a bar in Central NJ for my sister-in-law's 30th birthday about 10 years ago and the Steve Brown Trio was playing in the corner playing cover tunes all night.

The worst live act I ever saw was Jesse Camp's band. he was an MTV VJ in the 90's. I saw him open for Alice Cooper in Atlantic City in 1999. It was the absolute worst . A disgrace.

..and then followed by Faster Pussycat.

Worst live act...hmmm...

I fortunately dodged the Faster Pussycat bullet.

My initial reaction was to say either Vinnie Vincent Invasion (opening for Maiden on the SIT tour in Feb. 1987) or LA Guns (again opening for Maiden on the SSOASS tour in June 1988).  I flipped off Mark Slaughter, and he saw me and returned the favor (we had a real connection).  I can't actually remember LA Guns, so it's possible that we didn't go to inside the building until they were done.

But then I remembered that I was subjected to Tori Amos in August 1994.  I "had to" go because my girlfriend (now wife) liked her.  AWFUL show...at least for me.  Not only could I not stand her, but she exacerbated the headache that I started the night with.

The real answer is probably some crappy Sunset Strip band that no one's ever heard of, but I don't remember any of them by name, so I'm going with Tori.

I saw the Vinnie Vincent Invasion open for Alice Cooper in November '86. I thought they were fine. Word was that Vinnie was sick, but they came out and played 3 songs anyway.

We got Frehley's Comet on the SSOASS tour in July of '88.

I saw Faster Pussycat opening for Motley Crue (Dr. Feelgood tour), and quite enjoyed their set.

In general, I've been pretty happy with the various opening bands I've seen.  The only ones I can recall not enjoying were The Tea Party (opening for Queensryche), Jaden Smith, and Blackbear (the latter 2 opening for Fall Out Boy).

With a better singer, they might have been better (certainly at least tolerable).  Slaughter's voice was like nails on a chalkboard.

His voice was better than Fleischman's.  I can't listen to that 1st album at all because of his voice.
