Worst bands you've seen live

I saw them at Leeds too. They weren't bad, but it was a bit disapointing, and that bass solo really dragged! But not the worst band i've seen live. Will have to have a think about that one.

 

I was there too - they were very poor. Not sure who the worst band is I've seen - seen hundreds of great performances and only a handfull of rubbish ones. I used to go to loads of cheap gigs in Hull, saw the likes of Editors, Hard-Fi, Towers of London, The Cribs, Maximo Park, Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys - all under a fiver each. This was back in my college days when people used to come and ask me who to go see, as I'd gained a reputation for picking out bands who'd 'make it' - though one band I saw at Welly for £3 when they were first starting out who I thought were sh!te was The Kooks - they were awful live.

The funniest crowd I've seen was for Atari Teenage Riot - a very 'what am I supposed to do!?!' look on the crowds faces, lol.

 

They are no better on record. Feckin awful band.

 

ZZ Top are playing here in Lyon July 5th.. just booked tickets.. anyone seen them live? they're a bit old but so what..

 

Not seen them 'live' but the only member of the band without a beard is called (wait for it ) Beard!

 

I'd like to see anybody top this:

 

So them in 83 and 85 Donington Park monsters of rock fantastic both times

 

Yeah it was! Back in the day! Turned out to be a stinker all round - I ripped my jeans climbing over a fence on kingston as a shortcut for the bus, and then my mate stashed all the beers in the ice arena carpark and they froze - i remember it being very very cold that night

 

Crystal Castles were absolutely hideous when I saw them supporting Blur at Hyde Park, then again I didn't really care for their music anyway. The View at Hull City Hall were pretty awful too.

Arctic Monkeys at Leeds 09 were just disappointing, released Humbug about two days before and played all of that. Saw them again in Sheffield though and they were brilliant,I've got tickets for them at Don Valley but they've announced the new album's coming out four days before, needless to say I'm a little nervous I've wasted my money.

 

Hard luck TWS

 

two of the worst bands i've seen were space at city hall an ordinary boys at welly both were utter dross....on a brighter note biffy clyro are awesome live IMO

 

The Pink Floyd one - I made it to 1:37.

Anyone remember the Underpant Explodes from Hornsea Carnival? They did 80s advert covers (R Whites, Shake and Vac, Tasty Tasty etc), but were funny not crap.
