re: Worst Musical Pairings in History

There are definitely worse pairings in the grand scheme, but these are a few I saw first-hand:
Krokus opening for Rush; St. Pete, FL '82...I had the misfortune of seeing Krokus TWO more times after that, also as openers. I couldn't get away from them, it seemed lol
The Who, Joan Jett, and the B-52s; Orlando, FL '82...the openers didn't stand a chance that evening.
I don't know if our student govt put this together, or if they were actually touring together, but I remember going to a free show with the Sugarcubes, Godfathers, and Living Colour in the late 80's. No one had heard of Living Colour yet (not for another couple of months), but they pretty much stole the show, so much that by the time the Sugarcubes hit the stage, most everyone in the crowd had bolted. Definitely a musical mismatch...
Scorpions and Bon Jovi; Lakeland, '84 or '85...probably doesn't seem like such a radical pairing now, but it sure seemed weird back then.

I'll bet that was one of those 120 Minutes college tours.

I remember that tour. Living Colour was gaining traction by then because Cult of Personality was already a hit on MTV. I Liked the Godfathers too but never got into the Sugar Cubes.
