For me it was a "Lydia Lunch and Marc Hurtado cover Suicide" show this year
>dogshit opener consisting of a bunch of female art students making terrible "ironic" electropop with "funny" feminist lyrics
>Lydia and Marc come to the stage with a bottle of Hennessy that they would empty during the set
>Lydia looks like absolute dogshit even by her standards
>sounds almost as bad
>they completely butcher the Suicide songs while claiming it was a "new interpretation"
>goes on huge, minute-long rant about smartphones and flips off the like 2 people who dared to film her from far back (no, I did not film that day)

I've seen dozens of shows with people way past their prime, but this one was easily the worst.

I was at a Lou Reed show and he pointed at me and said I was a talentless hack
Like, what the hell man

I saw International Noise Conspiracy in the early 00s. They were okay I guess but the chick in the band was gone, and my plan was to seduce her, so fuck it all.

Good. Fuck phones.

I went to a Three Dog Night show at an Indian casino in the middle of nowhere. They didn't play some of their big songs everybody expected them to, it was like a two hour drive for a one hour show, no other acts, whats-his-nuts went on a tirade about some artist taking a song that they wrote and covering it without permission and making it big, then had the fucking balls to play One immediately after that which was written by Harry Nilsson. It turns out that after the show they went to the casino bar and eventually got kicked out for being disruptive cocks all night.

It was disappointing to say the least.

What happened?

my own concert where my bandmates didn’t practice and the bassist had the amp turned off for three songs desu

>>126799906
I'd actually agree if the venue was full of people filming it, but it was literally 2 people out of 300-400 and only for a few seconds

>>126799766 (OP)
Whitearmor DJ set
Played a bunch of basic ass trap beats

animal collective in 2009 was one of the worst ive seen, was at a smallish festival though. others like death grips, mogwai, most indie rock bands 2008-2018
desu it would be easier for me to name bands that are better live than on record, the opposite happens too but its actually more rare in my experience (300+ shows at least)

U2. the smell of fried chicken was way too heavy to stomach

Sebadoh. would've been around 92 or 3. weekday show, didn't come on until after like 1am, kept stopping and starting. Lou kept rambling and was tripping or on some fucking thing. wanted someone to fix the electricity that was making his amp smoke. there was no smoke coming from his amp.
not even into sebadoh but my friend talked me into going. complete waste of time and money.

tie: Link Wray in 2002. he had Alzheimer's and just talked the whole time. sucks because it was an expensive venue and I was super stoked because he fucking ruled in the 50s

I saw Lydia Lunch, she did a great cover of Alice Cooper's Black Juju. For me, it was this garage band that's been active since the 80s. Something-tones. And I like garage rock, obviously.

right, it was the Fleshtones. What a shit name.

eric clapton and steve winwood, boring as shit

It's honestly hilarious and sad watching bands age. They keep going on tours nobody asked for and finding all of the worst bands that are carbon copies of the shit they were into back in New York, during the 70's.

Animal Collective. I walked in, ordered a beer, 10 mins later I left and didn't even finish my beer.

Haha meme funneh

I saw Amyl and the sniffers about 3years ago.
> Opening band was so loud that it was physically painful to listen to

> Main show was shit. The PA was fucked up so I couldn’t make out any of the vocals

> Weird pasty bass player stood with his back to the audience the whole time and I got an eyeful of his asscrack and skin tags

I drove 5 hours for this

Avi Buffalo
>no opener
>played unplugged, most of the audience could barely hear shit
>for some reason was double booked during his own headline show and fucked off 20 minutes into his set to DJ in the other side of the city
>about half of said set was just him advertising the DJ show
>audience leaves feeling scammed

He was cancelled a few weeks later

the mars volta around the deloused era. they just did a bunch of boring aimless noodling for like 90 minutes, every once in a while kind of hitting on an actual song for a minute but then going back to the noodling. everyone in the crowd was clearly getting restless and annoyed

Bowling For Soup played at my college homecoming. They had rain tarps over the speakers so all of the low frequencies made a farting noise. My college ended up going bankrupt and shut down a couple years after I graduated

I saw bad brains like 20 years ago and HR basically whispered the whole time

There was a tornado 2 songs into the show and it was an outdoor venue

When I was in school, I went and saw a band called Remedy Drive with this short nerdy girl I was trying to fuck. She told me she was a fan of them but she was on her phone the whole time they played. She was cold, and I was getting bored being there. It just wasn't happening. And the music was meh. Nobody was dancing or anything, but the band was enthusiastic throughout, kept trying to hype up the dead crowd. The singer brought up how you could download one of their songs on Rock Band. It was 2012. I don't even think Guitar Hero was around anymore. He managed to bring it up four more times while I was still there though, and I wasn't there long.

Eventually I just left her without saying anything. Took the bus home. She waited until, like, two hours later, all the way to the end of the show, before I heard anything from her. She doesn't call or text me at all, but there is a post on her Facebook that read something like "I think the guy I came here with just ditched me! WTF? I have the car, I drove us here!"

She couldn't figure out how I got home. She ended up being valedictorian of her class.

Are they even all still alive? The only one I know is Danny because...

That was a really dickish thing to do.

Lol whut?

So is being on your phone instead of being in the present with your "friend," luckily the universe remains balanced.

I can't really think of any concerts I've been to that I disliked, though I guess if I had to choose one I'd say Yngwie Malmsteen, just because the endless repetitive shredding got a bit boring after a while.

Wednesday lol It was a snoozefest and the band all looked amateur and nervous AF. Like I get they're young and new to the touring thing but at least try and work some entertainment into your act. Hotline TNT opened for them and blew them out of the water

>>126799766 (OP)
Went to see Christian Death a few years back and that was pretty pathetic. Musically they were alright but so clearly past caring and only in it for the money. Lead singer was absolutely washed and his similarly old female bandmate looked absolutely pissed throughout the show and especially when he went on to bring some underage goth groupies on the stage to dance with him for the last few songs. strange experience overall

>>126799766 (OP)
Never been to a bad show, but I'm extremely picky and can count the shows I've been to almost on one hand:
Ministry, Foetus and The Young Gods >awesome! first show ever when I was an edgelord teen.
Deerhoof x2
Mission of Burma
>one of the greatest live punk acts, even into their old age
Godspeed
>incredible experience
The Knife (Shaking the Habitual tour)
>last show I went to, it was very much worth it

>>126809366
You cannot fathom how much I hate living here and having to associate with these faggots

I saw Trans Siberian Orchestra and the show was great but the venue completely fucked up parking. Missed the first 15 minutes of the show. Spent an hour in gridlock traffic

>>126810245
She didn't give a fuck either way, stop whiteknighting.
>>126810287
Exactly.

ZZ Top played fine but they were way too loud. Like above screamo band in a nightclub sound-levels, it was painful

I guess love really is a battlefield

My dad took me to see blue man group in Chicago where they did a regular show when I was about 12 and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
They did a tour a few years later and came to my city and my whole family went and they didn't do any of the fun performance shit, just played covers of radio rock songs with a more conventional band. It was awful.
Not even sure what their deal was come to think of it. Was there more than one "Blue Man Group"? I mostly just remember them from Arrested Development these days.

>>126817275
I saw them too when I was about 14 a decade ago, I forgot they even did any music. I just remember the wacky performance shit they did like drumming with paint. Imagine WW3 annihilates civilization and all that is left of it in the nuclear ruins for the survivors to find are burned DVDs containing iPhone 4 footage of them

>>126799847
Ouch. You should have known...

Muse was appalling, it was such a waste of life. I've had worse concert experiences, but retrospectively there was some value to the suffering. Not so with Muse. It's kind of like what being dead is probably like, standing there for no reason in the rain.

>Lydia Lunch
I discovered she has a podcast yesterday, I recommend it if you're into cringe kino she's really unbearable

Just by that show you could tell she was a miserable fucking person
