Worst gig attended...
 
Enough of positive thinking :P

1988 or `89 choirboys - Liverpool Royal court.

Dragged by a gf - longest 2 fxking hours of my life, lol!

:P

Urban Hat€monger ? 01-08-2005 06:40 PM

Guns n Roses

They played all their slow stuff in the middle of the gig for about an hour , during which it pissed down with rain.

Sneer 01-08-2005 06:47 PM

blink 182...it was traumatic.

Highway_Star 01-08-2005 06:48 PM

Yeah?

Saw them twice and the rocked! Though they hadn't actually released use you illusion I and II at the time - so was kinda hard to sing along, lol!

:P

Yikes!

As bad as slipknot at UK ozzfest?

:P

Sweet Jane 01-08-2005 06:51 PM

Haha, these are great. I believe I was at a very similar Guns n Roses gig, was it August 2002 by any chance?

Anyway mine was Hell is for Heros... Dragged by a mate

Stereophonics, if we're talking of ones we went to of own free will. Actually Feeder supported them. THAT is the worst.

the point at which i considered taking my life came when that stupid mark guy started doing a harmonicker solo. it would of been ok had he been able to play the thing. and generally i hate all the little blink kids who go to these things and their set sucked and their sound system sucked..gah...they SUCKED.

Highway_Star 01-08-2005 06:57 PM

Heh - well what made me laugh was all the s*itknot fanboys moaning about how they sucked as well, lol!

:P

Milton Keynes 1993 , The only saving grace was guitarist Guilby Clarke broke his hand a month earlier & Izzy Stradlin came back to replace him for a bit , so at least I got to see 4/5ths of the original band.

fiend_of_evilution 01-09-2005 08:37 PM

I got dragged by a friend to a Weezer concert that was the most painful thing I ever went through.

Friend? Don't think so! ;)

riseagainstrocks 01-11-2005 08:32 PM

I got tricked into going to one of my school's unplugged coffee houses. Really really bad poetry coupled with really really bad acoustic whiny crap. Not sure if its a show but still music was played and it sucked.

I've never been to a bad show. I make sure I like the bands before I choose to go.

Maybe Inferis...only because they only got a 20 minute set and the band after them sucked. Inferis is amazing. check them out.

TheBig3 01-11-2005 09:34 PM

I saw Korn at the first Summer Sanitarium. Holy crap was it bad. BAAAAD.

Highway_Star 01-12-2005 03:26 AM

Yeah korn suck pretty hard - went to see Deep Purple in '93 - the one they taped - on the video :D - and the band on first were some weird celtic crap.

DP were awesome though!

:D

franscar 01-12-2005 01:12 PM

Eels in Wolverhampton a couple of years ago. E clearly couldn't be arsed and spent half the gig sitting down arguing with someone heckling from near the front.

Highway_Star 01-12-2005 02:50 PM

Down the civic hall? Saw motorhead there - they were great but the crowd was rubbish....

Damn odd..

:P

franscar 01-12-2005 04:08 PM

Yeah, think it was the Civic, either that or the Wulfrun, even though it's basically the same place.

Actually, Queens of the Stone Age was pretty awful in Wolves as well, the bass was way too loud, and the vocals were so quiet my girlfriend who couldn't see didn't know Mark Lanegan had come on for three songs.

Highway_Star 01-12-2005 04:48 PM

lol!

Is an ok venue - though the Royal Court in Liverpool is fantastic!

:P

Greg 01-12-2005 04:49 PM

Was that when Monster Magnet supported? the sound was crap then. I had to go and see loads of whiney women singer/songwriters with one of my exes. Got bullied into coldplay and Gomez at wolves, coldplay at ronnie scotts and the worst was travis at NIA. pure torture, thank god i don't have to do that anymore

Highway_Star 01-12-2005 04:51 PM

I'm sure travis supported oasis when I saw them at the NIA and they seemed ok tbh...

Mind you that was a few years ago :P

Greg 01-12-2005 04:54 PM

They were truly dire and so quiet. Good job the traffic was bad else i would've had to sit through doves to

deepestgrey 01-12-2005 05:48 PM

Backstreet Boys. Enough said.

I really hope you were held at gunpoint by a 13 year old girl and forced to go to that concert....otherwise, may god have mercy on your soul

They took my soul. I'm just an empty shell now.

Nah, Sparta supported this time and were absolutely brilliant, despite half to three-quarters of the crowd clearly not giving a crap about them being on the stage. Much better on the night than QOTSA, who I'd never go to see again, when they inevitably reform.

Greg 01-14-2005 11:21 AM

Saw QOTSA at the Varsity first. Miles better. Last time i saw Sparta was at Leeds the other year, can't seem to get into the new one tho.
