Hold Steady/Stones
Jul 5^th, 2008 at 7:53pm

Quote from Craig Finn about opening for the Stones at Slane last year:

Did you get a kick out of supporting The Rolling Stones at Slane in 2007?

"We didn't meet the Stones, but when Mick Jagger came out and 'We want to thank The Hold Steady' -- I've got to tell you, I got huge chills. I thought they were fantastic. I was standing down the front in the crowd. We enjoyed performing, but I don't think people go to The Rolling Stones to check out the support."

You'd think they'd get their own "meet & greet" if only for a few minutes.
Back to top	“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef IP Logged

i know a couple of the guys in The Cruel Sea who were the support for the Voodoo Lounge tour here and that's what they got - introductions all ruond and that was that

later Tex Perkins their front dude , when asked what it felt like supportiing the Stones, said "we felt like five fleas on a dog's back"

"you can see it against the girl's crocheted dress"
