The worst concert you have ever been to

For me it would be a Pixies concert back in 2009. The band was bland, the audiance was full of dumbass kids (all ages show), and they probably had the worst playlist they probably could have played. I actually do not like the Pixies anymore after that concert. What is your worst concert?

Wango-Tango at the Rose Bowl Stadium.

Saw Cee Lo at a festival. He was godawful.

>He acted like he didn't want to be there
>Voice sounded terrible
>Set of mostly covers, barely any of his own stuff
>Sat down for a couple songs because he's a fatass and it was hot outside
>Left the stage once or twice at random times because ???
>He had to restart songs over and over again because his band consisted solely of hot chicks who clearly didn't really understand what they were doing

Haven't listened to him since because it left a really bad taste in my mouth. If a band's just bad live I'm usually willing to give them a pass...but if a performer shows open contempt for a crowd and doesn't even try to put on a good performance then f*ck 'em

I don't remember the band if you don't like the Pixies' studio music after that concert then you're an idiotWolfattheDoor34

It was the most lazy, half assed show I have ever been to. The band seemed to be putting in minumum effort the whole show and totally did not care that people paid $50 per ticket to see them. Yeah, I do not like them anymore because of their disrespect to the fans that attended that show, including their studio albums. I do not support bands that piss on their fans.

I haven't really been to a bad concert but my least favorite was Def Leppard and Journey. That was kind of dumb.

Steven Tyler wasn't exceptional when I saw Aerosmith but they played well otherwise. I haven't been to any concerts that I left disappointed.

Either Baroness or Opeth, can't really decide. Both were absolutely boring live, but the latter was insulting to longtime fans when Mikael basically told anyone who didn't like the new album to piss off.

I've seen worse bands live, but I didn't pay to see them. 

My wife dragged me to see Def Leppard on their Hysteria anniversary tour. Aside from the fact that they really aren't very good, Joe Elliot's voice was awful. He could barely sing.

A close second was a Blitzspear/Motorpsycho club date back in '93. There were 10 people in the crowd, and all but 4 of us were in the bands. Pathetic show.

Reliant K. The whole thing sucked. I left early, only concert I've done that at.

none really. well some local upstart bands that i saw when going to a friends concert were pretty bad, but any famous concerts ive been to havent been terrible

Probably Interpol. It was boring. 75 minutes of mood and gloom and slow music didn't cut it for me. Every famous band I'v seen has been good, but that was my least favorite.

From playing in Boston clubs for awhile, Ive seen lots of bad bands. But do local acts even count?

Red Hot Chili Peppers which was suppose to be the closing main event band on a V festifal years back. I was never a followerer of them and V festival itself wasn't my thing, I just ended up there somehow (Download over V fest anyday). Anyway... Red Hot Chilli Peppers are boring, no other word for it, it felt strained listening to them, they trtied to break the bordom but they had nothing witty to say and couldn't rile the depleting crowd with their little games and random gimmiks of whatever came to mind. People were quickly finding something else to do. After a while the band swiched to a state of "let's get this over with". I don't know if they did an encore I was gone.

I agree with many people that they are one of the most over rated bands which shouldn't be as big as they are.

Black Eyed Peas in 2009 when they came to Raleigh. Although they were also the best concert I ever been to as well. Figure that one out.ad1x2

So it was the  only  concert you've ever been to? I'm sorry.

@topic: I don't think I've every been a concert without having a good time. I've picked them well. Seen Tool, The Red Hot Chili Peppers (on the Stadium Arcadium tour, before Fruciante left), Sublime with Rome, Cake, Blink-182, and a few others. If I had to pick a bad one, I'd say Megadeth. Not really a super huge Megadeth fan to begin with and, although they played well, Dave Mustaine was just spewing doucheyness all over the place between songs. The man really is a wretched pile of shit. A band made up of several of my friends opened for them, and go to hang out backstage with them before the show. Every single one of them agreed that the rest of band was some pretty cool guys, but Dave Mustaine was an insufferable shitbag, who made everyone want to kick him the balls within 10 seconds of meeting him.

How long ago was that? If it was since John Fruciante left the band, I'd have to agree. Their new guitarist is mediocre at best, and they sound like an unenthusiastic bar band covering themselves, when they play with him. Fruciante, on the other hand, is a God, and the whole band was alive with passion when he was leading them.

Looking into it, it was V 2002. Another reason people were dissapointed they had just released the new album "by the way" so people were expecting stuff from it, but we got the old scar tissue classics and the other big hits. It wasn't what peoiple wanted at the time as they made quite a comeback with the new album, people wanted to hear it live.

Ive not been to a concert:(

would love to see Hollywood Undead though.

Hmm. That's too bad. Must have been a pretty rare miss, for those days, to have been a bad show. Their DVD, "Live at Slane Castle" was from around that time, and  that  show is legendary.

I've loved all the concerts I've been to, but my least favourite was Swans. Nevertheless, the night was cool as shit.

Went to day festival that Arcade Fire were headlining at Hyde Park a few years ago, crowd was terrible (fights breaking out, people throwing cups of piss) to the point where i couldn't really enjoy the music.

I've never had a bad experience with the band playing, just with crowds.

Three Six Mafia. First and last rap concert I ever go to. They were over two hours late and when they did show. They sung one song and they I went to the restroom as they started the second song. As I was coming out, everybody was leaving. I stood there for a second thinking maybe there was a shooting and I just didn't hear the shots. So I asked somebody and they said the show was just over. Two damn songs after being two hours late. Never again will I waste my money to go to a rap concert ever again. I will stick to going to rock concerts where it is actually worth the price of entry. So all other rappers can blame three six mafia for never seeing my money at their concerts.AmazonTreeBoa

Megadeth, not because of the music/performance but because it was so crowded you literally could not move around.chessmaster1989

Haven't been to many concerts but I didn't dislike the ones I did go to. My favorite was Furthur ( Grateful dead Band without Jerry Garcia) a couple years ago. I have been to quite a few Heavy metal concerts but enjoyed most of the bands playing them.

Chicago (with the Pixies, Cheap Trick and some others). It was just sad to see one of the all time great groups sound that bad. :(

Avril Lavigne. 2003. Waste of money.Haven't been a fan since then.

Only been to one, so I guess Great Big Sea, but they were alkso the best :)

Worst for me was this past Bonnaroo when Bjork took the stage. It's not my type of music but it was pretty awful.

I saw Poison around 20+ years ago at the Montreal Forum.Worst concert I have seen and the all the sh*t music.I only went because my brother had no one else to go with.

See I like bands that experiment and change their sounds, rather than sticking to one formula. Damnation is probably my favourite album from them, I guess some people didn't like it because it wasn't BR00TALZZZZ.dramaybaz
