I saw My Dying Bride open for Dio in Lexington, Ky At A1A on the Dio "Angry Machine's" tour. I think only me, my girlfriend, my 2 buddies with us and only about 5 other people had heard of MDB. MDB was excellent live considering the small stage space they were provided with. There not my cup of tea, but I was impressed by them live moreso than on C.D. Great musicianship and very professional, it was just hard for me to get into their songs. Oh well, to each his own.
