What's wrong with Matchbox 20? Nothing embarrassing about seeing them live. Odds are they probably put on a pretty good show.

it just shows Im fairly selective on my viewing matter.

I saw them back in the mid 90's, and it was a fun show. I enjoy Rob Thomas' solo albums too. To each their own I guess.

I've never been embarrassed by any show I've been to. Although, I got free tickets to see Joan Osborne once back in the 90's. We hung out backstage with her prior to the show (which I thought was kind of cool at the time). I've got to say though, that it was the most boring concert I've ever been to. I almost fell asleep half way in.... not embarrassing but it was pretty bad.

When I was in college my roommate's parents got her 4 tickets to see Ricky Martin, with Jessica Simpson as the opening... um... lip sync-er? They were free tickets, all the way at the top of the Spectrum where we could literally touch the ceiling. Which wasn't a good thing because I was very tempted to just leap to my death from up there, it was THAT bad...

I also saw Mötley Crüe, with Styx as the opening band. Again, free tickets and it was summertime on the lawn at the susquehanna bank center. I wish I could tell you it was a horrible concert, because I'm sure it was, but I was way too wasted to remember... eek!

To see Styx on stage performing Renegade would have been a sight to behold. Too bad you were too drunk to remember cause that is one amazing song. The closest I got was seeing Tommy Shaw sing it with Damn Yankees back in '91. Alright, that could be a show I could add to this list but seeing crazy Ted Nugent acting like crazy Ted Nugent on stage was a lot of fun.

Took the kids to see Aaron Carter. It was pretty lame.

Billy Ocean.

Ummm, I thought of another...

Lets just say that I lost something at a Jackyl/Tesla concert. Perhaps the most disappointing night of my life.

Easy, New Kids on the Block :roll: My best friend's dad got her free tickets and she didn't want to hurt his feelings so we went. I endured the torture cause, as I said, I was her best friend :?

Also saw GnR open for The Cult a couple of months before Sweet Child O Mine came out. Axl talked ad nauseum about a "friend" back in LA who was always free-basing coke :roll:

Kris Kross, with the Fu-Schnickens & MC Lyte... I might win this contest.

I listened to such diverse music in high school... I had mix tapes with grunge, rap, metal, classic rock and oldies all on them.

Two fuckin' people dare to dis the Crüe??? :evil: They are classic.

Where's Sen and Fanch when you need them?

I saw some level C hair bands back in the day. In fact, I went to the Warrant and Danger Danger show at Seattle's Paramount Theatre in 1989. I might be more embarrassed if that weren't the night I was first introduced to the music of Alice In Chains. Life Changing Show. \m/

I almost made that mistake that same year. They were playing this tiny divey/cowboy bar in Utah that a co-worker worked at a few nights a week. Luckily I decided to play with my Nintendo 64 or something else more important that night.

My dad took me with him to see van halen in 94 I was 14 yuck! I bought 1 ticket and went to see Britney spears in 2000 by myself... It was great!...

I was 14 at the time. it was me and 2 other of mine soccer teammates. I left bout 10 songs into the concert and hungout at the z100 booth for the rest of the concert. I intoruced a few songs on the 9 at 9 countdown and gave a wrap up of the concert.

GWAR at the old i-Beam in San Francisco, back in the late '80s. I got sprayed by a giant penis.

I'd actually kinda like to see GWAR (though I think I'd have to be in the right kind of mood). :oops:

Most embarassing concert for me was certainly New Kids on the Block. I even camped out outside the mall for tickets. What can I say? I was 13.
