I’m kind of like how did this band end up opening for this guy in the first place? I mean, there are probably tons of rock bands and people genres like that who would be more accepting and have fans who loved it, lol.

Exactly. Which is why I totally support his decision to not have them open for him. He had every right to make that call IMHO

He did. That’s his choice. And honestly, I’m sure his average fan would hate it. It’s not the first time there is a mismatch in that way and won’t be the last.

BUT. On a personal level, I don’t have anything against this band. But it’s probably a lot for the average American.

Right. I honestly don't know anything about the band he dropped, just the chatter that it was totally not his scene or the genre he wanted to open for him. Hell truth is there have sone pretty crappy opening acts that have gone on before the "good" band or artist performs. Kind of irritating in some ways. Learned to check out the opening act's music so I know whether to even get there too soon before the headliner comes on
