What Was The Worst Live Show You Ever Saw?

[tiger1977]

What was the WORST live show you've ever seen?

I saw David Allan Coe back in November '06 in the middle of the desert and it was awful. He only played the opening line of each of his songs. He played more covers of Wilie Nelson than he played of his own music.

Dream Theater. Snooooze. I wish I brought a book.

I went to an Up In Smoke show in highschool. That sucked pretty bad. Hip hop doesn't translate well live.

Touché. But sometimes you just have to see the train wreck to believe it.

Hed-pe opened for Motley Crue and were absolutely horrible.

a toss up between CKY and Superjoint Ritual

 

[RichardNailder]

In Amsterdam in 1988.

The chicks were ugly, the guys looked gay and the theater smelled like an old cum-rag.

Sam Kinison... Second show. Westbury Music Fair. Was it 1988?

Anyway, he was sober for the early show when he was with Howard Stern, Jackie Martling, and Jessica Hahn. My friends and I didn't go to that one. People said he did really good.

However for the 10:30 show, He was so pissant drunk and so irrational that he forgot all the punchlines to most of his jokes...then the hecklers started cursing at him. He started getting mad and cursing back at them and then the whole crowd started booing.

A very bad night for Mr. Sam.

It was no different in July '85.

 

[Ace Bandage]

Any of the four Dave Matthews Band concerts I went to. My friends thought he was awesome. Fucking morons.

I just went to drink beer and sing Ants Marching.

 

[PJpenny]

The Deftones, no question about it. music was out of toon most of the time, the singer had no clue what he was doing on stage and spent more time stage diving than actually performing. Only concert ive ever walked out of

Did they perform "Tripping Billies" by any chance?

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Beck at the Fitz', back, I don't know, about 8 years. Met that fuck by myself outside the venue well before the show with my guitar for a signature and that fucking creep gave me a shitty look and mumbled something and left. Then he tried to denigrate my city during the concert which I can't remember the exact words but no doubt he tried.

Never have looked at that weasel the same since, even though I have almost all his CDs. Egomaniac asshole.

 

[PinkPanther21]

There was some Chicago-based band, Tortoise, or something like that. They had a hip art-y rep, so I thought they'd be interesting. They seemed to make a principle out of having NO song actually go anywhere, so it was just meandering crap. I left, was much happier listening to the sound of traffic outside than listening to that worthless crap. One of the percussionists joined Stereolab, I believe. They made much better music.

 

[Kingfisher]

An opening comedy act for Andrew dice clay. The guy was terrible and actually tried to break dance on stage for laughs. Dice was hilarious though.

 

[Bonezstorm]

When I was a kid I went to a magician show with my family. I knew all of the tricks and so it was fucking boring to me

 

[Marlo Manson]

No doubt, not no doubt the band. The worst show I've ever been too had to be 311 and I have seen a shit load of bands live, none of them were as bad as 311 was the time that I saw them. :horse:

To be honest, the only reason I stayed for the entire show was because it was an outdoor venue in the middle of summer with thousands of smokin :flame: girls running around getting all drunk and high, and I of course was having a ball drinking and smoking with all kinds of sexy girls.. :nanner:
