bands who were shit live
 

never mind disappointment, i want to know about bands you've seen who were complete crap, bands you might not have chosen to see yourself but were going at the behest of a friend or loved one, bands you went to see under your own steam, or just plain shitty support bands.

let the hatred spew forth!

Ah, right -

Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction
Guns 'n' Roses (circa Use Your Illusion)
Metallica (circa The Black Album)

It's difficult thinking of "plain shitty support bands", as I've managed to banish their names from my memory.

I saw numerous bad bands at the Reading Festival in the late '80s, but it's tough to pick particular especially crap ones.

Ethyl Meatplow was one of the very worst things I have ever seen.

Super Furry Animals and Flaming Lips were dire.

OWT (Zeena Parkins and David Linton) were godawful when I saw them in the late 80s.

super furry animals
space (worst live band ive ever seen)
stone roses
millions of local bands
smashing pumpkins
the orb (boring as fuck)

David Bowie in the Glass Spider tour was one of the worst things i've ever witnessed and i just hoped(even at that tender age)that the damn spider stage would have collapsed on top of that freak show.

Countless hardcore bands.
Local shit bands.
The Plastic Constellations
Square Shooters were a god awful Modest Mouse rip-off.

I can't even begin to list them. Shitty bands.

At the local video store, about 4 years ago, I rented this Glass Spider tour video thing, and only made it about 2 minutes into it before I turned it off and took it right back to the store. Completely awful. I am so sorry you had to see it live.

Dillinger Escape Plan. Nowhere near the energy I expected.

They are always dire
