Back when I was into metal, I had to endure an unbelievable number of shitty generic metalcore bands in order to see bands I wanted to see.

Oh man, the singer from Buckcherry makes me want to punch a wall. I hate his vocals so much.

That must've been terrible.

Avenged Sevenfold - saw them when they opened for Metallica in Dublin a few years ago. Really, really not my type of music. They looked like they were just going through the motions anyway. It was a very boring 40 minutes.

Director - saw them at a festival in 2006. They were tipped as Ireland's hottest new indie band and they managed to get a mid-afternoon time-slot on the main stage where they just looked completely lost, not to mention sounding boring, generic and just goddamn awful.

That's the worst. I remember a few years ago I wanted to see this really good alternative acoustic hip hop group called LuiciDream and I had to endure 2 ****ty metalcore and 1 horrendous punk band. They didn't take the stage til like 11 pm and by then I had been up for 17 hours because I was working at a lumberyard and had to be up at like 5 am every morning so I was barley awake to enjoy what an awesome set they did.

I had to watch this pretentious Radiohead wannabe band to see maps & atlases and mewithoutYou.

Muse?


I kid I kid.

No much worse. They had this big screen in front of them so you couldn't actually see them and there was like pictures of nature projected onto it. If I wanted to watch it I would've had a sore neck for a week because I was in front and it was 2 inches from my nose. They didn't say hello, thanks or goodbye, assholes.

eh, the only real thing they have in common is the singing style, other than that they're really different in the musical sense


i know you were only joking, just throwing it out there

Sham69 at the Apollo. Pursey was drugged up to the eyeballs, the band were shit and failed to complete the set.
Pursey walked off the stage...seats were ripped out in disapproval and the travelling Sham Army complete with black cap sleeve 'Sham Army' t-shirts, brought it upon themselves to do the job of the security with disastrous results.

By far the worst gig I've ever seen and as a young teen the most frightening.
I also remember thinking it was brilliant too, but for all the wrong reasons.

I Am The Dream were hands down the worst act I've ever had to sit through.
