"I try to catch the openers. Some of my favorite bands today are bands that I saw opening for someone else, i.e. Alice in Chains opening for Van Halen, etc."

-- Matt Demko, Cleveland

"I like to catch the openers. I love finding new music."

-- Julie C., Cuyahoga Falls

"I try to see the opening band. You never know what you're going to get, but they need an audience too."
