Biggest dissappointment had to be....
Metallica....Capital Centre, MD I think it was 97' the tour where they had 2 drumkits and 1 long stage on the middle of the floor. They had some guy look like he got burned on fires and another fall for the wiring above. Too much distortion and too much crap (theatrics) other than music. First time out of 12 shows I Metallica fans sitting for most of the show including me.
George Clinton and the P-Funk Allstars....9:30 Club 2006....way too many people on stage, no order, no consistency and total confusion. Maybe they were ALL just too high. In 2007 though they rocked the same club for 2:30 minutes and a show I'll never forget.
Guns and Roses.....90' RFK Stadium....Monsters of Rock Tour....GnR came on last after Metallic rocked RFK, my neck still hurts after that show. They did there best but maybe I just wasn't into them at all back then.
Sly and The Family Stones....Boston 74'....would have been my first concert ever in 74 as a child but a riot broke out and the show was cancelled. Also WAR opened for him now when I look back that would have been one hell of a show.
Living Colour2006....9:30 Club Washington DC....Must have a bad night cause I kept looking at my watch the whole night. I liked 2 songs "Flying" and "Cult Of Personality". Vernon Reid had acoustic/guitar problems and went on with this 12 guitar solo thing which turned out to be a waste of time.
Ziggy Marley......2004..College of Arts Savannah GA....He put me to sleep literally. He didn't acknowledge the crowd or the night (Valentine's Night), no energy and just plain bland. I went backstage and sat on a couch and chatted with the opening act Michael Franti and his and Spearhead.
I saw Ziggy after the show talking his road crew stuck a conversation and told him how it appeared he made no effort to connect with the audience. The next night in Orlando he made that connection and his show was much better as I danced backstage with Stephen Marley, his sisters, Damien Marley and Micheal.
That's about it.

Jackyl - now there's a blast from the past!! You mean to tell me the dude didn't kill on the chainsaw song? Were they opening for Molly Hatchet? Ted Nugent ?
yeah, he did whip out the chainsaw and "jason" mask, but they were awful. I swear, it was like Jesse James Depree (I think that's his name) was drunk or something cause he was just singing all out of key and kept calling every song "another fine drinkin song" He also decided to mimic the Jimi Hendrix version of star spangled banner by just imitating the guitar shredding that hendrix did with his mouth by just squealing in the mic. It was horrendous. I had such a headache when they were done. The Tix were free and they played a "rock for fire and rescue" benefit that was sponsored by one of the stations that my friend works for. It was like every song Jackyl played was blurred together as one. It just sounded like an hour of obnoxious noise. The only song I remember them playing cause he said the name was "just like the devil"
The line up was
Night Ranger (headliners)
April Wine
Jackyl
Back in Black (AC/DC tribute band from Dallas, a damn good one too).
Wasn't that the show where Ed had real bad food poisoining and had to go the hospital so Neil Young did the show, I think that might be the show But i could be wrong.
"If my thoughts, dreams, could be seen, they'd probably put my head, in a guillotine, but it's alright ma, it's life and life only."
I like RHCP as much as the next guy, but man they're awful in concert.
I forget who opened for them when I saw them (maybe 2000-2001ish) but they dominated the Peppers.
That's the worst show I've seen.
Also after seeing the Rolling Stones twice at Veteran's Stadium, I saw them again at the Spectrum (the newer one, Wachovia, or what ever the hell it was called then, 2002ish). I must say, they put on a pretty bad show. The sound was just bad. I knew all of the songs give or take 1 or 2, but overall it was a pretty lame show, even by Rolling Stone standards.
I don't have a top 5, buy I guess my 3rd and final worst concert was Third Eye Blind. Don't get me wrong here, I really do enjoy their music. I think they are a very underrated band lyrically and musically. Their studio albums, at least to me, are pretty damn good. However, live.. wow, they sucked ass. Stephen Jenkins voice in concert was just hoarse and bland. Maybe I caught them on a bad night, but the place I saw them is known to be a good sounding arena, and they didn't deliver.
Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North."
Wasn't that the show where Ed had real bad food poisoining and had to go the hospital so Neil Young did the show, I think that might be the show But i could be wrong.
If that was the show, Ed wrote 'Red Mosquito' after/during that incident. I think he said (I forget which recent show he mentioned it, probably one of the SF trio in '06) that it felt like he got bit by the devil.
So out of the bad came some good
Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North."
TOOL - i saw them like a year or two ago and it was awful. it could have been better but maynard (or whatever his name is) was sick and couldn't sing to his full potential. i guess to compensate for his poor singing, the sound guy turned up the vocals really loud and lowered all the instruments so it sounded terrible.
another crappy concert i saw (i hate to admit) was CREED.
Down in the hole, Jesus tries to crack a smile beneath another shovel load.
1. Steve Miller Band: Went off on some tangent about all the different pairs of sunglasses he owns. Then during a song he starts talking about how he found that very guitar in some obscure music shop, and he went on and on and I couldn't wait for the damn thing to end!
2. Pearl Jam Key Arena 12/8/02: Worst seats I've ever had combined with a low energy output makes this the only forgettable PJ show I've attended.
3. KMFDM/Rammstein: Went for the wrong reason had to suffer throught the show.
4. RHCP 1996 Cow Palace: Not sure what was worse Weapon of Choice opening for the Peppers, or the Peppers themselves. Kiedis was hit in the head with an empty fifth of JD after the very first song. I wasn't sure if he was going to be able to complete the show. He was, but in retrospect I wish he hadn't.
5. Sweet 75: One of Krist Noveselic's post Nirvana bands was anything but sweet.
5 shows I worked.
1. Celine Dion
2. Smashing Pumpkins
3. Lynard Skynard
4. Faith Hill
5. Indigo Girls.
"The leads are weak!"
"The leads are weak? Fuckin' leads are weak? You're Weak! I've Been in this business 15 years"
Foo Fighters and STP opened on the tour around then, two bands that blew away the Chilis, not hard to do though IMO.
agreed on both accounts.
for years i have heard nothing but people saying stuff like "STP/Foo Fighters/Mars Volta/whoever spent an hour blowing the roof off the place, and the RHCP came out and spent 90 minutes putting it back on"
i never understood why they picked openers who kick their asses on a nightly basis. But it doesn't help that they manage to both SUCK and BLOW live.
I agree with mookie....Steve Miller I think only gives horrible shows! lol
He is awful in concert!
I saw him at Lake Compounce. I worked there one summer and saw tons of shows. Lots of them reallllly bad.
Milli Vanilli! :eek: I actually had to go into the dressing room and bring them something...omg...scary.
3. Dokken, Y&T and Twisted Sister....Twisted was soooo bad..but we still had a great time
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Yes and yes. He's a sound chap but his music wouldn't be a lot of people's cup of tea... He took the heckling pretty well though and in good spirits, he knew he was out of place.
Absolutely. I gained a lot of respect for him at the point gig. I still don't like his music, but he handled the crowd very well.
Saw Slightly Stoopid with my stoner friends. They were terrible and played bland Sublime ripoff shit the whole night. They thought they were cool by switching instruments throughout the show, but being able to play bad songs with different instruments is not a talent. I just snuck out and wondered down to Bourbon Street for awhile.
1) Creed - at Music Midtown in Atlanta, 2000 - horrible, canned banter between songs, cheesy pyro, and...it's Creed
2) Counting Crows - Music Midtown, 2001 - sounded like they were singing underwater, I like the Crows, but this was unlistenable
3) Suicidal Tendencies - Charlotte, 1994 - opened for Metallica and I just remember being really bored
4) Oasis - Music Midtown, 2000 - they were pricks, acted like they didn't want to be there
5) Our Lady Peace - Music Midtown, 2000 - my sister really wanted to see them and my friend and I foolishly agreed to leave Joe Walsh's show early to see them...how could we leave Joe Walsh to see Our Lady Peace?
My buddy dragged me to it searing to God that "you'll be in love with AFI after seeing them live!!!!"......well we sat through 3 shitty punk/emo bands (the best being some band named Static H....yes Static H, not X) and then the lights went dim and all the girls and emo kids screamed and shitty gay AFI came on stage in tight white pants and proceeded to make my ears bleed for a whole 45 minutes. Yes they only played 45 minutes, after waiting through 3 bands. I mean, I hated the music but still, 45 minutes for a headliner, please. I remember during the show these two homosexual men kept screeching in my ear "I LOVVVVEEE YOU HUNTTTERR" and "LOOK AT THEM TEAR UP THE GUITARRR!!!". I'm not usually homophobic but I seriously wanted to rip their throats out. By the end of the show my buddy was happy because he loved it but I was just disappointed. The next week I saw Alice in Chains though so it was all good.
That was the on ly bad show I've seen. I guess you can throw Modest Mouse at the Main Street Armory this past April but that was bad because the sound was fucked up. Isaac was pissed and mostly just jammed and went wild. So it was cool, yet shitty.
hoobastank. 05? u-mass MA , they opened for VR, they did do better than i thought they would do, but come on. oh and the crowd weren't pleased with them
noel gallager. tibetan freedom show 98 or 99 randalls island ny, he came out with a horrible disorted electric guitar and sang oasis songs.. just wretched.
wu tang clan, lolla 96, they just came on stage and just said random things and talked
and the I went for the hell of it part.
goo goo dolls, played pretty good, can't complain really, but i wouldn't want to see them again
third eye blind. played with the goo goo dolls, they actually kinda sucked a lot
Kill Hannah- Opened for Alice in Chains and Velvet Revolver this year. Why the fuck would you have this stupid ass emo band open for 2 great live bands like AiC and VR?
1 - Cheap Trick (opening for PJ in 1998) just awful, guess I had to be a teen in the 1970s to appreciate; The Dream Police was ok
2 - Yellowcard, saw them open for Billy Talent, friend wanted me to go with him to see BT, who were ok, but these lame ass turds sucked
3 - Slayer, it was at this point in 1998 when I knew I had outgrown metal, mainly went because Clutch opened for them, a superior band
4 - KMFDM, dissapointed in seeing them, played like 2 or 3 old songs and the rest their latest stuff, which doesn't even compare to their classic 1990s albums
5 - Soundgarden, yes, Soundgarden. Probably because Nine Inch Nails played before them and blew everyone away, they couldn't match the intensity, they sounded bad, it was the hight of Superunknown and Black Hole Sun was a cliche, plus the bass singer spat on everyone at the front continuously, and that added to this mediocre headlining spot.

Seriously, the RHCP are fucking awful. i don't know why people pay to see them. It's short (90 minutes after a 20 year career?), it's packed with nothing but ballads (from their last 3 shittiest album none-the-less), and Anthony Kiedis is quite possibly the worst frontman/singer i have ever seen/heard in my life. (Yes anthony, jumping around on one foot and doing a bunch of fratboy dance moves are going to make up for the fact that you can't sing)
All they did was ran through the motions every time i saw them. Like they knew "hey, this is show 124 out of 280 we have to do. i'll just pace myself. i'm getting my millions no matter what"
Fuck those guys.
so true!!! especially the shitty albums and the worst frontman out of the big stars

He did. He knew he wasn't to the liking of 90% of people in the crowd, and handled it pretty well. He wasn't bad, just not everyone's cup of tea.
Personally, I would rather have had Paddy Casey than Sleater Kinney.
Can never understand why Paddy Casey gets such a raw deal on this board? He seemed like a nice fella, music was a bit bland but inoffensive. I think a lot of people were expecting a big name irish support for that gig and poor old Paddy has been made the scapegoat. Did we seriously expect U2, Snow Patrol etc? I reckon if Ed had come on and played a song with him we'd all have his back cat. by now and there would be loads of threads dedicated to him.
Worst band I ever saw, The Scorpions (sorry Mike) boring, boring, boring! Oh yeah, forgot Jesus & Mary Chain at Brixton Academy back in the 80's ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
