Worst Live Act You Had to Sit Through

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.
 
Good thing I didnt go see them then..


The teenagers were rubbish, but the frontman was hilarious, it was like watching the best car crash ever.


Many many local and indistinguishable hardcore and metal acts.
 
For me, I've been subjected to a myriad of unbelievably ****ty local and regional acts, so I won't bother you with an extensive list.

However these are the national acts that I've witnessed that either bored the shit out of me or made me cringe:

1. From First to Last (they opened for Bad Religion, a travesty)
2. As I Lay Dying
3. Poison the Well (I actually nodded out a few times.)


Your turn.
 
I've only been to two concerts in my life, both of them were at some club in Beale Street, the first time was to see Saliva, which I actually enjoyed, even though I think they're a horrible band, they were good showmen, and there was a drunk guy there who was hilarious.

The second time it was to see Senses Fail and it was the most unpleasant experience of my life, I didn't like their music to begin with but it was a small club and the loudness was excruciating. My ears were ringing and I got a sore throat. And I was just standing there, feeling totally helpless for like 3 hours.

In addition to that, there was the mosh pits and hardcore dancing, douchebags slamming into me, the ungodly smell of booze, cigarettes and vomit, gay guys hitting on me, a high concentration of emo scenesters and my ex stepdad who is a drunken assh*le.

The only thing that made it worthwhile was when my brother got thrown out for tossing a pair of granny panties at the lead singer. :laughing:
 
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.
 
Warrior Soul Supporting Metallica in 1989. They were supposed to be the next big thing according to Metallica themselves. Fucking numptys.

Genital Deformities supporting Venom. Actually they were both atrocious so I haven't got a clue why I went.

Calvin Harris supporting Faithless a couple of years back. Bland disco Pop.
 
Hot girl: Hey you want to chill and go see Drab in a few weeks with me and my friend?
Me: Sure what the hell! Just give me your nuraber.

never again...
 
Haha boo boo, that is awesome.

I haven't been to any bad live shows myself, but that would be because the only concert I've ever seen is Bob Dylan and he was fantastic.
 
Poison the Well was very hard to sit through!


My top two:
1. Local deathcore band 'A'
2. Local deathcore band 'B'


UnderOATH was very hard to sit through, but it was cool to see Aaron Gillespie and watch the guitarists spit onto their audience merabers through sweaty bearRAB.
 
That's the worst. I remeraber 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 luraberyard and had to be up at like 5 am every morning so I was barley awake to enjoy what an awesome set they did.
 
Aside from some painfully bad banRAB that my mates are in;

Resist - Saw them supporting the Fall about four years ago. Gut-wrenchingly awful nu-metal-type garbage. I can only think they were on the bill as some sort of sick joke.

The Worabats - If you think they're bad in the studio, wait 'til you see them live. An ex-flatmate took me to a gig of theirs a couple of years back (note the use of the word 'ex').
 
I actually have a picture from that show too, I'm the one on the right in the hat.
