Why does it matter who the oils are playing with? I would love to see Billy Idol. So excited about Garbage. Ok so i have no time for Nickelback but obviously people do caus their records sell.
Its a great way for the Oils to pick up new fans who are there to see other bands. I don't understand why people think their musical judgement should be the same as the bands they like. If the Oils decided to play with Bardot I wouldnt care - its their decision.....

I'll be out of the country while these gigs are on and will miss the
Melbourne gig by 1 day. I haven't missed a si! ngle Oils gig in Melbourne for
10 years....but I think that even if I was going to be around I wouldn't go
to this gig. I'm sorry, but seeing Nickelback and Billy Idol on the same
stage as the Oils would be just too much for me to deal with. It just
doesn't sit right with me....seems a very weird gig for the Oils to be a
part of. Maybe Gary's judgement is starting to slip.
