I have to say Radiohead. I like Radiohead but so many of their fans are so incredibly stupid. It seems that they all believe that Radiohead is a perfect band that has not put out anything bad after Pablo Honey. I'll be the first one to call The Bends and OK Computer masterpieces and 2 of the best rock albums I have ever heard. However much of the rest of their work is forgettable. Newsflash: Kid A, Amnesiac, and HTTT are not very good albums. Stop making them sound like masterpieces.

Hail to the Thief is their best album.

Blind Melon

I agree with you here. Except that Ok Computer is a masterpiece! I bought that CD, because someone recommended Radiohead to me and liked only maybe 4 songs off the whole album! The rest sounded like elevator music to me. I honestly believe that Radiohead are easily one of the most overrated bands ever! Right up there with Nirvana. I still like Nirvana though.....just don't think that Nevermind is one of the 10 best albums ever!

I did not read this entire thread i'm sure someone must have said Tool by this point.

They take the cake for me.

I couldn't agree more, and I'm probably one of the biggest Hip fans on the planet. To be fair to the band, the Hip do have a lot of decent respectful fans (like myself), but unfortunately they're few and far between these days. I find the Canadian fans to be particularly annoying, especially at the outdoor festival gigs. Drunken morons running around in Leafs jerseys, wearing the flag as a cape and yelling for "New Orleans is Sinking" at the top of their lungs. I'd love to see the looks on these idiots' faces when they find out that Gord Downie is actually a Bruins fan and despises the Maple Leafs (lol). These people aren't there for the music. They're only there to get hammered, start fights, and hear the "greatest hits". As a true fan of the band who simply wants to have a couple of drinks and soak in the music, it's incredibly frustrating trying to deal with these douchebags. It's even worse when they get violent.

I might get flak from some of the Canadians for saying this, but I find the shows in the U.S. to be much more fun (and safer). I saw the Hip 3 nights in a row in Boston a couple of years ago, and the American fans I met over the course of those three shows were incredibly cool. Easily some of the most laid-back people I've ever had the pleasure of hanging out with. Same thing with the Hip's San Francisco show back in '98. They were strictly there because they loved the music, and they discovered the band in an organic way with no added patriotic baggage attatched to it. Thankfully I discovered the Hip long before they became "Canada's band", and the first few times I saw them live in the early 90s, you really didn't see this kind of behavior at their shows...at least the ones I went to. It's a shame it's gotten so bad.

i saw the hip a few years ago at the big outdoor shed formally named pine knob in michigan, just outside of detroit...anyways there was this "dude" wearing the canadian flag tied around his neck, draped over his back and this dude was beyond messed up...hey i happen to love beer but this dude was beyond beleif...all i could think of was man am i ever glad im not wearing my "proud to be canadian" tshirt on!!

as far as worst fans...i think most fans outside of the concert venue, at home on their couches, are all prolly decent people...in the very least they are MUSIC FANS, which has to account for something positive...so as far as seeing the band LIVE there will always be fans that have just a little too much, way more than then really need...no band doesn't have that problem...if it can really be determined as a "problem" in the first place

overexcitement and alcohol consumption kinda go together sometimes and that can be a good thing. kinda like NFL football fans

definately the radiohead fanclub. catch is - i'm also a massive radiohead fan - probably my 2nd favorite band, but the largest group of their fan base are a bunch of pretencious-indie-rock-pimple faced-high sachool wankers. fuck, they think they know/understand/appreciate all there is to know/understand/appreciate in music. arrggghhhh

i think this is why im so vocally anti-radiohead on here. i like radiohead, truly i do. but there are a lot of these people out there and man are they annoying.

also, im going to add a strident vote for pearl jam. go look at the bitching about how pearl jam is playing lollapalooza. you'd think people would be excited... but no a bunch of bitching and moaning about how the band is "forcing" them to pay $165 just to see them for a shorter set becos they're not touring. 1) there are a LOT of excellent bands there. 2) nobody is forcing. 3) if they dont wanna tour, they dont wanna tour. would you prefer NO dates? man are they fucking annoying.

peeps

Pearl Jam
edit: also DMB, Tool, Michael jackson

Pearls&Stones

Pearl Jam............... by five an a half miles.

Pearl Jam has the most self-righteous, annoying, ignorant fans in the world.


To the guy sitting next to me in Columbus, 2000....I seriously hope someone has beaten you to a pulp. I really do. Maybe it makes me a bad person because I not only would feel no remorse, I'd be amused if I heard something bad had happened to you. But I don't care. I'd have smacked you myself if not for fear of being kicked out of a good show.


To the guy behind me in Hershey, 2003.,,, Everyone in Pennsylvania can still hear you screaming about how much you love "Thin Air" --please shut up.


To the guy behind me in Cleveland, 2006 and the guy in front of me in Pittsburgh, 2003....you're just assholes, plain and simple.


And, last but not least, Pittsburgh, 2006. As we pulled into the parking lot, I could hear the Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter" in the back of my head, because I was convinced I was pulling into Altamont. The things people were doing in the parking lot made me sick. And the guy next to me was an ass, but that is another story.


Still not enough to keep me from seeing the best band in the world, but Pearl Jam's fans are assholes.

DMB fans don't even compare in that regard.

I have been near some pretty annoying fans at pj shows. The one that comes immediately to mind is the douche bag sitting behind me at Camden 2 in 06 who talked smack about how ed has "lost it" the entire time. This idiot seriously bitched the entire show about how much eddie sucked now and how the only reason the band was worth watching was mike. His girlfriend finally convinced him to just leave if he wasn't enjoying himself. What a moron.

South of Seattle

DMB and Pepper

I got free tickets to Pepper last weekend. All of the under 21 crowd thought they were watching Sublime crossed with the Beatles. It was hilarious to say the least.

BrinkofForever

Has someone said ICP yet? Yeah, Tool..Radiohead..PJ..DMB have annoying fans but..COME ON!! Nothing out there more annoying than a Juggalo. Especailly if you point out to them that they are dressing/acting like a tool.
