Worst act you ever saw live

Sticky Vicky

The original, her daughter or mother?

Mk I & Mk II.

Stone Roses at Spike Island got nowhere near the hype
The Wonderstuff had one good track which was a PWEI cover
Jamiroquai made me violent they were so gash
I liked Big in Japan at Eric's, it was a 'friends' thing, especially when Jayne Casey's leotard strap broke and her ample left tit popped out, and stayed out all the while she asked for a safety pin ?

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Badly Drawn Boy at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. Damon arrived on stage about 5 mins after his band, he was completely hammered and couldn’t stand up properly.

After smoking a spliff and attempting to sing a tune he collapsed. The band played on for another minute or so then just got off and left him lying on the stage.

I saw John Bishop, in the Neptune, well before he somehow hit the big time and at time I had no idea he was a prick.

I walked out at the break, he was that bad.

He’s still using some of the same “ gags” now.

Saw him at NEC. He swore a lot. That's all I remember.

 

[Davidoff]

Robbie Williams, lot's of vulgarity, and was actually riding around on a toilet with wheels

 

[widnesblue]

Metallica at the M.E.N. Arena during the death magnetic tour. Had really bad tickets on the back row, the sound was off. The sound just went up and could hardly head the music. Was strange. Seen them few years later and was much better

 

[verreauxi]

Bob Dylan. Huge A-hole. And his music is some of the most overrated guff.

 

[Papa Shango]

Kings of Leon.

Saw them in the Academy in town and they were pretty good, this was before they made it big.

Saw them in the Arena in town after Sex on Fire and all that and although they were proficiant enough they may as well have just pressed play on a tape and left. No conversing with the audience or anything. I'm suree the house lights were up all gig too.

There is a band called Robot's in Disguise who were a support act for someone (Electric Six maybe? Someone of that ilk) that were utterly horrendous but I dont think they were even supposed to be good.

Ian Brown and N.E.R.D both stank at the 08 Isle of Wight festival. The former I expected, the latter disappointed me.

 

[longers]

Most of the worst gigs I’ve been to have been hip hop gigs of artists I enjoy.

Unless it’s proper band style stuff with actual musicians like The Roots etc then hip hop imo is generally absolutely awful in a concert environment.

It’s usually just a big old mess of dudes talking/shouting over each other all the time, poor delivery of lyrics relative to the recordings and some annoying as hell hype man constantly shouting the same inane soundbites.

 

[Chewbacca]

Ratt - shitfaced and couldn’t play their own songs

 

[Blue 1]

The Seahorses were pretty dreadful. 45 mins of John Squire wanking off his fretboard and no tunes.

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Kings of Leon.

Was going to say Kings of Leon myself. Played loads of great songs but was just missing something, very flat.

Saw them in Manchester Academy, they were rubbish, dull and boring.
