orgirl wrote:30 Seconds to Mars, they opened for Audioslave who rocked! Anyways it was the most awful sound I have ever heard. The singer is some stupid actor (Jered Leto, I think). Well he was up there like everyone was susposed to worship him or something. I think not. He kept calling the crowd fuckers and flipping us off and getting pissed cause no one would do what he wanted. It was pretty funny. Everyone cheered when they left.
i was looking back through this thread to see if anyone had mentioned my worst experience, so i could quote. and here it is. 30 seconds to mars was absolutely the worst live band i've ever seen. The singer acted like a dumb jerk to the crowd and the guitar sound was total crap. didn't realize who the singer was till later and still didn't know what he has acted in till recently. he's the blonde pretty boy in FIGHT CLUB. so now when i hear this crap and on the radio i don't just make a repulsed face and change it. now i think of ed norton beating the fuck out of jarred leto, smile then change it.bombs, dropping down, please forgive our hometown0 -

Yes, nothing special IMO. It's not that you like them, thats fine, but that you like them more than PJ that I just don't understand!! I mean they're not even in the same universe as PJ...whatever“May you live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine.” - Frank Sinatra0 -

you people have to realize that theres other bands out there other then PJ, and all the related bands (brad, three fish), and PJ opening bands (MMJ,DCfC, and other, IMO, crap bands).I believe I can honestly say there has not been 1 band that opened for PJ that i really enjoyed, with the exception for Sparta. i love pearl jam, i do.. but right now theres a lull in the PJ camp (the tour is over, no new releases in the near future). So instead of just re-listening to the same stuff over and over again, you need to branch out and discover other bands.
I've seen PJ 41x's in my life. I've travelled all across the country. I've seen some highly rated shows (state college 03, gorge 05, both atlantic city shows 05, fonda 06, letterman webcast), but i think i had more fun seeing BHC last month in a small bar in SoCal with no more then 100 ppl there, and the band only played a 40 min set. They are just so intense liveBoyHitsCar Masked Street Team

I'm into many many other bands besides PJ...listen I just don't agree with you. I don't think that BHC is even in the same league with a band like PJ. Thats like comparing Devo to Led Zep...no comparison, not even close. Anyway, you're entitled to listen to whatever, I just STRONGLY disagree with you.“May you live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine.” - Frank Sinatra0 -
will probably get flamed for this, but ben harper sucks live. i like a lot of his stuff but he is so boring on stage. i struggled really hard to stay awake during his show.
weird thing is, i've seen him 3 times but for some reason whenever he plays the sb bowl, someone always has an extra ticket for me.0 -

thats the thing.. you stay in the same "league".. don't you realize there are other types of genre's out there? like i stated before, PJ is the softest stuff i listen to.. with metal and hardcore being my main focus, but i touch in many other genre's

oh boy, I have seen some real stinkers. I worked at the arena here for a while, so during that time, I had to witness;
Hillary Duff
Motley Crue
Rod Stewart
G-Unit
The Game
Van Halen (Sammy Hagar sucks)
Default
Theory Of A Deadman x2
The Trews x2
Three Days Grace x2
and I'm sure there's a few I'm forgetting
and then there's the opening acts. Among the shitty opening acts I've seen are;
My Chemical Romance
Clit 45
Seether
Three Days Grace (I worked at a show of theirs and then had to watch them open for velvet Revolver 2 days later)
Hella
Chantal Kreviazuk
a local band named Ham that open for the Pixies
Anti-Flag
Crowned King
the only concerts I've actaully payed for that sucked balls were AFI, Green Day and the Smashing Pumpkins. The Pumpkins were the single most disappointing band I've seen.
I also went to a festival that had Not By Choice, Sum 41, Treble Charger, Great Big Sea and like 10 other awful bands, but luckily, I was too drunk to remember anything.Hello, I love you. Won't you tell me your name?0 -

reversedarwinism wrote:I saw them in Amarillo, TX and they really nailed every song. They didn't even let the fact that they were getting cigarrete buts thrown on them shorten the show. Not one of my favortie bands, but they were good. What was bad was the crowd. Mostly full of young kids (prob because of their christian reputation) with some regular Amarillo trash throwing things (every show i've been to in Rillo). People tried to crowd surf and got dropped. lol.0

two shows come to mind:
1) andrew w.k. at ozzfest a few years ago. that was some bullshit! he played his single, party hard, and then played two more songs (one of which was a duet with kelly osbourne... because apparently that was necessary). he was getting booed real loud and people were throwing beer at him (because his music sucked more than anything that has ever sucked before). so he played party hard AGAIN and ran off the stage. four songs, and two of them were the same fucking song! who does that???
2) tomahawk, opening for tool on the lateralus tour. who would have thought that a band with such an amazing lineup could possibly be that bad? i had never heard their studio recordings but i was excited to see them... and holy shit did they suck. their sound could be best described as gothic showtunes. everyone in the crowd was screaming "YOU SUCK" and throwing water bottles at them. mike patton responds with, "yes, jersey, we suck... but you have to live here!"0 -
A Perfect Circle ZZZzzz0

Calexico = Fucking Boooooorrrring!!!!
Smashing Pumpkins @ Lola 94= No stage presence at all
Megadeth acoustic show???= WHY????(Didnt know it was gonna be acoustic)
Fear Factory= Opened for Ozzy(F.F.= PURE SHIT)
Primus= Talented Musicians but I didnt dig em liveLet's see those 2013 dates in the southern states.0 -
Red Hot Chili Peppers- Lansdowne Road, can't remember the year. It was just before By The Way came out. Pyure Shite.I'll Ride The Wave Where It Takes Me0

Foreigner in their prime. I remember it was like they were playing the songs as fast as they could to get off the stage. Horrible.
Here is a surprise one, I once saw Clapton so high on smack he didn't move. Not that he moves much anyway, but he stood still for his whole.....5 songs@15 minutes long each - blues set. It was painful.~!~ Peace ~!~ Love ~!~ Pearl Jam ~!~0 -
I saw Black Sabbath Summer 1985 Meadowlands or whatever it was called at the time. Glenn Hughes on vocals,had lost his voice and it sounded like real shit. I think they fired his ass the next day.0

Two of the worst:
Godflesh, 1992, opening for Skinny Puppy. All this show consisted of was a repetitive drum machine beat, the loudest guitar feedback-high pitched screech and some guy screaming incoherently for 45 minutes. Awesome. Thanks for taking about 10 -15 years of hearing away from me.
Soundgarden, 1994, Red Rocks. This should've been, could've been, a great show. Unfortunately it wasn't. The mix was messed up, Chris' vocals sounded horrible, Ben kept trying to get in a fight with someone in the crowd and it just plain sucked. Disappointing.0 -
i saw morrisey at the del mar fairgrounds in 1993.....worst shit I ever saw....absolutely horrible!!! bad sound, bad music, bad TIME!!!0
