wow haha

my worse was the opening act for the first time i saw the queens also (2005). it was a band called 'throw rag', they sucked but not to the point of homme coming out to calm the crowd haha. no one in the band uses their real names but the guitar player used to be in sugar ray and i'm pretty sure it was the vocalist from buckcherry. either way they effing sucked.

i was extra pissed because initially it was supposed to be 'the eagles of deathmetal' opening the show but the singer couldn't leave the states at the time due to custody issues or something along those lines. turns out i caught the last show with mark lanegan in the band too.

Disturbed. Had to sit through them twice actually. They have some pretty good pyrotechnics but their performance overshadows that. They suck live.

Wow, a supergroup formed from members of Sugar Ray and Buckcherry sounds like just about the worst thing imaginable to me.

I saw Art Brut in Aberdeen a last year. I don't have a lot of time their studio output, but thought they were great live. The singer (I forget the guy's name) knows how to put on a good show - he's got a very good, charismatic stage presence. Or at least he did when I saw him anyway.

The problem with this show was 90% of the stuff they played was from the new album - which is awfully dull. So every song just melted into one long snore. To me there was no charisma or presence, i just wanted them to get off so the DJ could come on. Shame really, i used to be quite fond of their debut.

I feel the same. I've seen live performances of songs on 'BBR&R' on youtube, and they're phenomenal. Knowing how much of an emphasis they put on the new stuff makes me reconsider wanting to see them.

When i saw them live he used the mic lead as a skipping rope. Yes. I haven't even heard the other albums apart from the debut though, they do seem like a one trick pony.

Sevendust is one of the first bands that pops into my head.

Whoever the hell opened for The Smashing Pumpkins when I saw them at The Fillmore would be another.
