The Australian Pink Floyd Show - Liverpool Summer Pops 2005
The band were absolutely great, but it was the 4th year that I've been to see them and it was the 4th year that we've had trouble with pissed up wankers. I would consider Pink Floyd to be limitedly accessible to half-wit chavs at the best of times, so what's the fúcking point of watching them while pissed?
That said, at least they weren't snorting anything this year. Not next to me, anyway
Bands you've seen but wish you hadn't
they were utter bollocks back in the day...they came on totally tripping outta their skulls and proceded to crash badly through 30 minutes of their set before limping off stage due to the heckling and abuse they were geting for being so out of it...offically the band said that the bass drum head was torn and they couldn't play on...Big Si wrote:They were bloody amazing a few weeks ago at Braehead arenaBurn wrote:worst band ever were the happy mondays
someone must have sold them some dodgy acid/amphetamine/weed/hash (not unusual in Edinburgh) delete as appropriate

Bowie 1987 Glass Spider Tour
The stage looked like a goddamn UN-meeting. I should've been warned by the rest of the bill: Tina Turner & Phil Collins.
It was that night I waived goodbye to the Thin White Duke.

Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.
Tears For Fears - Southen Cliffs Pavilion in about 1984, I went for a walk on the beach it was that dull.
PWEI - can't remember where in London but the sound was awful and nothing seemed to work.

I'm rather unlucky in that I haven't been to that many big name bands.
So, most of the worst I've seen are the terrible, fifteen-year-old (sorry Dark) thrash metal bands cropping up around Hull that I have to review. It comes to something when the only people in the room older than you are the parents of the brats on stage, trying to sound like SOAD or RATM or anything else I haven't already heard before...

New kids On the Block - TWICE. Once when I was twelve @Whitley(sp?) Bay with my Dad
And once when I was thirteen.
T'was the days before I discovered decent music and during the crossover period (when I was about thirteen/fourteen) I had pictures of NKOTB and Guns N Roses on my wall.
What a bizzare combination.

Only a paand.
I think we'll have to exclude support bands on the basis that they're not generally the band you've paid to see, and frankly I've seen so many p*ss-poor support bands who can only have got the gig to make the main act look even better (The Scientists / Blow Monkeys supporting the Sisters anyone?) that its safer just to exclude them on mass.
Bands that you were paid to see is interesting insofar as a) you saw them and b) they were AWFUL but ultimately you didn't pay to see them and in fact you actually made money from it. A bit like getting a packet of Jaffa Cakes for doing a market research questionnaire (Would you like this band more if they wore sunglasses? How do you feel about artichokes?).
I know that this is narrowing the field a bit but we need to be able to taste the suffering. Emotional vampire that I am.
Another one for you:
Test Department / SPK No; not the fact that it was just a bunch of people armed with mallets, angle grinders and a scrap heap but the fire brigade intervened and made them play the entire gig behind a fire curtain. I s**t you not.

To be fair it was at Leeds festy and there were some other decent-ish bands on. "Only here for the beer".

Each to their own. I don't own anything by them (the missus does) but I rate them as a live act. Jarvis know how to entertain people.markfiend wrote:Pulp

Now; s**t festival bands should be thread of its own but Linkin Park, 50 Cent, The Streets, Deftones, System of a Down, Limp Bizkit and All Saints immediately rush to the top of my mental list....

Crap gigs?
My Bloody Valentine - London, The Forum, around 1991 - a tuneless dirge from start to finish.
Chapterhouse - several gigs in 1991. I only went 'cause my mates band (Thousand Yard Stare) were supporting. Utter shoegazing nonsense bollox.
Northside, around 1992. Post-Madchester baggy-indie wank. Again only went 'cause the Yardies were supporting.

My younger brother dragged me to see The Railway Children: They thought they were the "new Smiths". They weren't.

Thank god it wasn't just me... I didn't dare put them down in case they were some sort of untouchable deity type band but I thought they were dreadful live, and if you weren't depressed before listening to "loveless', well....Scardwel wrote:My Bloody Valentine - London, The Forum, around 1991 - a tuneless dirge from start to finish.

And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
