    went to Matchbox 20 trying to hang with a girl when I was a Soph in college.

    What's wrong with Matchbox 20? Nothing embarrassing about seeing them live. Odds are they probably put on a pretty good show.
    Matchbox Twenty more than qualifies for this thread. :)

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

    (GWAR fans will know the context therein)

    I've seen GWAR a few times, I think it's a good time !!! I too have been sprayed by the giant penis. :oops:
    Peace, Love.

    I went to see Megadeth some years ago ('99 or 2000) when they were touring for Risk. While they were good and put on a fine show, I was unfortunately subjected to Static X's blatant lip-syncing and coordinated stage moves for 45 minutes beforehand. It was seriously embarrassing.

    Believe it or not there was another band who opened before Static X (some band from Chicago I think) whose name I don't remember. They were the most God-awful act I have ever seen live. Balding dudes with long hair (of the hair that was remaining), waaaayy too tight leather pants from which their beer guts were spilling out over the top of, gallons of sweat, and virtually nothing but lead guitar shredding the whole time.

    Most of the time I prefer to forget about this experience, but it was so surreal that it is actually one of the prouder music-based moments in my life. :)

    Kid Rock, Peoria Illinois, 1999 :oops:

    Oh and I popped into a bar for a few drinks in January at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore and...

    Vanilla Ice was there! this is like 2 months ago. :lol: He was "rapping"... it seems more like "screaming" to these untrained ears. I think he was promoting something to do with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

    Wow... what a dystopian nightmare this world has become.

    I'm sorry Nothingman54 but if no one else will do it I am personally going to report you to the Music Police and have your listening privileges pernanently revoked!!! GOOD LORD!!! :D

    I'm having a hard time coming up with one I am embarassed by, but you folks would say I should be ashamed of seeing Carrie Underwood and then just two weeks ago John Mayer....going to both of those put an amazing smile on the face of the greatest girl in the world so it was a pleasure. And honestly...I enjoyed the hell out of both of them
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    sweet. When I get really drunk (a rarity nowadays) and there is karoake within a 5 mile radius, watch out. I'll bring down the house with a sweet rendition of Copacabana!

    GARTH BROOKS!!! AUGH!!

    Back in 1992 he was just huge (as an entertainer) and my then future/now current wife had a country music phase, bless her, before she saw the light.

    Anyway, he played four sold out shows in Texas Stadium so I took her to one.

    Some fucking drunk roper cowboy asshole drank a half a bottle of Jim Beam and puked all over me.
