[AFI]

I'd prefer a more intimate venue, something a bit smaller. Obviously not too small or the crowd atmosphere would be shit. For example The Barrowlands is a great venue just the right size.

I can't choose just one band but here's a few i would definetely want there.

AFI
Pennywise
Bad Religion
Flogging Molly
Limp Bizkit
Semisonic


also a few random backup bands, ones that you've never heard of and never hear of again after a gig. They just seem to make the whole experience right, build up the anticipation because you realise the band you're about to hear is so good, compared to this first pish. And occasionaly you find a gem and love their music...

I'd throw it in my backyard...with me and some friends...NO neighbors allowed!

Something Corporate
I Voted For Kodos
Blink 182
Yellowcard
Reel Big Fish
Mest
Jimmy Buffett (yeah i have a thing for him)

Oh and Smirnoff Ice and Bailey's Mini's for everyone!...ok and maybe some of our local beer for the boys.

I need a girl in this line-up...I'll throw the mature Lisa Loeb in there. I wouldn't want Hillary Duff or Ashlee Simpson in the line up...that would ruin the concert.

[Euphoria]

Tesla
AC/DC (with bon scott would be awesome. RIP)
Dream Theater
Rush
Cinderella
Nightwish
Guns N' Roses (original line-up)
Soul Asylum
Skid Row (with bach leading the vocals)
Counting Crows

:biggrin:

[Jebus]

ummmmm...

The Shins
Zero 7
A Perfect Circle
Bush
Cold Play
Franz Ferdinand
Frou Frou
Oasis
Phantom Planet
The Cure
The Strokes

[Crash Override]

There are TONS of bands that I would love to have at my concert, but as a concert promoter I can't be combining several disparate and unrelated musical elements. For example, while I happen to be a fan of both Morrissey and Tool, I can't really have them both on tour together. I mean, come on! The two fan bases would clash so much there would probably be bloodshed.

That said, limiting my choices to a small-ish General Admission (standing room only) venue like, say, The Opera House (or if we needed a bigger space, Kool Haus), I could really only fit three bands on the bill and have them each play for a decent amount of time (45 minutes for the opening band, 1:15 for the middle band, and 1:30 for the main stage act).

The three acts (in this order) would be:

Brand New

Dashboard Confessional

Weezer

Being rather similar (musically) and having toured together before (Brand New and Dashboard toured last year, DC and Weezer toured a few years ago), the bands would be extremely comfortable with each other and there would be plenty of band-sharing (ie, members of one band playing/singing with another), covering each others songs, etc.
Chris Carrabba coming out with Weezer at the end of their show for an encore of some classics like "Say It Ain't So," for example.

But wait - who comes up as a surprise guest? None other than GREEN DAY, people! That's right, after all the tired fans with no dedication leave the venue, GREEN DAY comes out and rocks the motherfucking house, throwing in a few covers from each band that was just up, as well as performing a blistering set of their own material, mostly from Dookie and Insomniac but a few off their latest album as well.
They end the entire show with a 15-minute-long jam-out of "Welcome To Paradise," extending the interlude just so all the members can rock the fuck out on their instruments.
