My wife put together a scrap book of all my concert tickets that I had saved in a jar and looking thru this book apparantly I saw Burt Reynolds in concert many moons ago!!!!! WTF??? I thankfully have no recollection of this. Maybe Loni was with him
Yeah, I've seen the original Village People in the 80's. I was pretty young. Didn't even know they were The gay. Not that there's anything wrong wit that.
Someone was ashamed of the Goo Goo Dolls. I've seen them a bunch of times at least they actually sound like their actual music when they play live. Some people are so overproduced that when you see them live its like wtf?
I sat through Alan Jackson opening for Clint Back and Alabama. :oops: :oops:
I've seen Alan Jackson. I don't like county music but I actually enjoyed it. He was sick so he just sat on this stool and sang. It was almost like an acoustic show. You're on your own with the others.
at various festivals over the years ive seen sets by
Black Eyed Peas
Pink
Mika (was actually REALLY good at getting crowd going on a pissing rainy day)
Hoobastank (PAINFUL)
The Darkness (gave me ulcers and boils)
Ok here ya go ..... Billy Ray Cyrus. During the Achy Breaky Heart days. It was one of those " i got dragged out" shows. Glad i didn't pay for that one.......Or perhaps my soul has been paying for it ever since.
One of my co-workers is making me buy David Cook (of American Idol "fame") tickets for her tomorrow with my student ID. So that may be the worst act I've ever bought tickets for (even if I'm not keeping them...)

Friend dragged me to a Sugar Ray concert when I was 19. Got punched in the head by a rabid teenage girl (I'm short!), passed out and had to be lifted over the barrier and given medical attention in the back. Ended up with a concussion and a black eye, all because I didn't move quickly enough out of the way when Mark McGrath took off his shirt.
That "friend" of mine and I haven't spoke in like 8 years. I'm not saying her poor taste in music is connected, but. . .
i actually saw the teenage mutant ninja turtles in concert somehow..?
they still werent as bad as cake. they were playin a free show outside my bar. people started fleeing as soon as they started
and of course nothing will top the bonnaroo kanye f up
Jesus, I remember that Ninja Turtles tape! Awesome that you saw the concert I can actually still sing some of those songs... that's fucked up!
My most embarrassing would be Hanson I guess. This was a year or two ago. I went with my gf and it actually was a lot of fun. Those guys just rocked out, and their new material is pretty strong. They tossed in a few really good covers (Let Love Rule, Oh Darling) to boot. The crowd was stacked with hot girls my age that grew up loving Hanson, which was a bonus. I'd go see them again.
And to the person that mentioned the Spin Doctors... nothing embarrassing there, they rock!
It was pretty lame when I saw the Goo Goo Dolls when I was like 12 ( I was young so I liked it). I know they really suck hard now. I also had to sit through crappy ass Animal Collective this summer at APW, while waiting for Kings of Leon and Radiohead to blow the lid off the place!
I've seen The Goo Goo Dolls three times. Robbie is a really nice guy, and I still listen to them so I could never throw them under the same bus as Creed or a few other bands listed in this thread.
I have a soft spot for them too. They're just a hard-working band that made good, and some of their earlier albums are great 'down on your luck' rock. I saw them open for Bush in 96 and they were great. But I also saw them a few years back opening for Counting Crows and they were awful. So were the Crows actually.
I haven't read all of the pages, but I think I win with the show of: Kris Kross, MC Lyte and The Fu-Schnickens
My whole life
was like a picture

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”
― Abraham Lincoln
I was on stage at a show that had Christina Aquilera... and she runs past me from behind her dancers, and as she starts to cross behind one of her dancers to see the cheering crowd, she trips over one of their feet and does a brief slip-n-slide across the stage. Ouch!! I would be embarrassed about that, but she went on without skipping a beat. She's a pro and knows how to handle embarrassment.

U2 on their Joshua Tree World Tour 1987/88 I think. It was in DC, soldout RFK Stadium in front of 55,000 and on a Sunday in the rain and mud. We were pumped and 11 rows back dead center it was going to be awesome. However, after 4 songs in Bono slipped on the wet stage and dislocated his shoulder, it wasn't embarassing but it surly was disappointing. They never returned for that tour and man we were so bummed about what happened.
Metallica...the LOAD Tour at the Capital Centre, MD with that hideous center stage and TOO much pyro and GIMMICKS. The music sounded shit, it was totally distorted and unlistenable. The first of 12 Metallica shows I sat for the entire show, it put me to sleep.
The Black Crows...last year at the Sunfest Festival in W Palm Beach....boring
ACDC...The Fly On The Wall Tour 1885 Hampton Coliseum VA, even though it was free for me I still didn't like the show. It was not bad and certainly not great. However i did wait on them later that morning around 3 at Denny's just up the street. The entire band and road crew came in EXCEPT Angus about 25-30 of them. Showed them my tour t-shirt and they gave me all sorts of gifts including a tour backstage pass, now that was cool.
GNR....RFK in DC in front of 50,000 in 1990 I think. Metallica played before them and TOTALLY stole the show. We waited way too long for them to finally get their asses on stage 90 minuters and their best songs I thought was the song they didn't create.

Not one of those is even close to embarrassing. You listed disappointing shows for you, not shows you'd be embarrassed about other people knowing you attended.
My wife put together a scrap book of all my concert tickets that I had saved in a jar and looking thru this book apparantly I saw Burt Reynolds in concert many moons ago!!!!! WTF??? I thankfully have no recollection of this. Maybe Loni was with him
Burt Reynolds singing? That's so bad it's almost awesome!
for example... in 2000 it was - Christina Aguilera and Goo Goo Dolls, are joined by Bon Jovi, Hanson, Macy Gray, Sugar Ray, Third Eye Blind, Amber, BBMak, Blessid Union Of Souls, Eiffel 65, Jessica Simpson, Lonestar, Mandy Moore, Sonique, Vitamin C, Westlife, and Train. There'll also be "special appearances" from Don Henley and Jennifer Lopez
that's in 1 show people
other low lights
New Kids on the Block w Sweet Senation and Dino
Debi Deb
Smashing Pumpkins (terrible show)
Celine Dion
Creed
WOW! You saw J.LO! Nice! How were her "Taco Flavored Kisses"?
Taco-taco.
"Taco Flavored Kisses!" That episode rules!
Ahhh, most embarassing act would be Loverboy. I saw them many, many years ago when they first came out and the poor boys couldn't decide if they wanted to be new wavers, metal dudes or hot sexy pop-rock guys. The thought of that show still makes me shiver. Oddly enough, a few years back the "mighty" Loverboy played a "summer night in the park" concert here in my rinky dink little town and I actually ended up sitting at a table in a Thai restaurant next to Mike Reno, Loverboy's (so-called) lead singer. The irony of it was simply overwhelming.
Edit: And no, I didn't go to the show!
"Hello Oregonians. Hello Washingtonians. Hello Portland..where the fuck are we? We're in Ridgefield!"
I guess the one show I would be embarrased to say I went to was HIM in Worcester like 5 years ago. I liked them then but I think it was more because most of my friends at the time were skaters and always watched the CKY videos which had HIM songs on them. Some were good so I listened to them a lot and ended up buying tix to a show.
A year earlier I went to a Planet Radio show in Jacksonville, Fl to see Staind headlining. Unfortunately Yellowcard (ugh) was there but they played first and Sevendust basically rocked that shit music right out of my head before Staind came on.
Other shows I'm not embarrassed about attending:
Lynyrd Skynyrd
RHCP

Jack Johnson
Boyz II Men, Montel Jordan and TLC

I'm not really embarrassed about any of the shows I've been to, but I guess if I had to pick one it would be the Strokes. We saw them a couple of years ago at a small venue that is basicalyy a gym. The sound was absolutely horrible and the crowd was mostly a bunch of high school emo kids. We actually ended up leaving early because it was such a bad show.
Taking Back Sunday had to be the worst. It was early in their career, and they were opening up for blink-182 and Green Day (both of whom I'd highly recommend -- Green Day especially, but blink puts on a great show, too). If the singer wasn't singing in his crappy annoying voice, he was doing the "Rock Singer Mike Twirl"
I remember seeing Better Than Ezra go onstage at a festival just prior to Everclear... they were awful. Stood, rooted in one spot, looked at their instruments (or the mic) the entire time.
Luckily, Everclear was awesome... one of the best live acts I've seen (not PJ good, but engaging and improvisational and talented)... Plus, my wife was pregnant, Art saw her being forced out of the front (it was dead after BTE, everyone just hanging out, then EC came on and it went nuts) and brought her stageside for "I Will Buy You a New Life"
There's some love going on for the Goo Goo Dolls so I'll only briefly admit to having seen them x 3. Each time it was by accident. They were opening for someone else I was going to see and I didn't know they were playing.
I know after reading the rest of this thread that I won't win by a long shot but... Static X.
Worst.
Live.
Show.
Ever.
They opened for Megadeth during the tour for "Risk."
I was center and halfway back. It was about the third song into Static X's set when I noticed something. The conversation between my friend and I went like this:
Me: *yells loudly over unintelligible noise* "HEY!"
Friend: *yells back* "YEAH?"
Me: "YOU NOTICE ANYTHING ABOUT THE DRUMMER?"
Friend: "NO! WHY?"
Me: "WATCH HIM FOR A MINUTE!"
Friend: *watches drummer* :idea:
I slowly saw the realization dawn on his face that he noticed the same thing I did. Whenever the during the "music" (or "song" or whatever you want to say was "playing") you heard a cymbal crash you couldn't help but notice that while the "drummer" was making the motions, none of the cymbals moved.
Then the rest of their "sound" made more sense. Like the canned moves the lead singer was making towards and away from the microphone before and after the "singing" would come over the pa.

I slowly saw the realization dawn on his face that he noticed the same thing I did. Whenever the during the "music" (or "song" or whatever you want to say was "playing") you heard a cymbal crash you couldn't help but notice that while the "drummer" was making the motions, none of the cymbals moved.
Then the rest of their "sound" made more sense. Like the canned moves the lead singer was making towards and away from the microphone before and after the "singing" would come over the pa.
