Worst Live Act Ever!

The best thing about going to a Vines gig is the possibility that Craig will end up calling one of the other members a merkin or punching them and the other members will walk off the stage in protest. Its far more entertaining than their actual music!

Just reviving this thread because I didnt want to make a new one for such a small chunk of info.
Anyway, apparently the gong must go to Busta Rhymes, for involving himself in possibly the most poorly-organised gig ever staged in Sydney.
Some friends of mine paid $97 to see Busta and his Flipmode Squad at Luna Park last night. It was an all-ages show, yet alcohol was readily available to anyone with the money to buy it. That's all well and good I guess.
There was no support acts, just a DJ or two spinning the usual hip-hop club hits, which understandably became tedious after 4 solid hours. The crowd became rowdy, shouting and pleading for the actual show to start. Finally, at 11.30 or so, management took the stage to announce that Busta won't be performing tonight. Sorry. LMAO. Please make your way to the exits where you will receive the paperwork you need that will get you a refund. Apparently only the heavy security presence prevented a full-blown riot lol. Of course the lunacy didnt end there. Said 'paperwork' was nothing more than a raffle ticket stub! People were going from one door to the next and helping themselves to as many tickets they could get and, feasibly, as many refunds as they wanted! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Btw, I wasn't one of the poor saps in attendance, and I have alibis to prove it.

The worst i've seen was at the BDO 97 with Sound Garden.

The Prodigy & Offspring were magnificent but when Sound Garden came on stage they pretty much ruined the day.

Chris Cornell was terrible with his vocals.....and even worse was when he decided to do Black hole sun acoustic without know other back up instruments, it was tragic!

To make matters worse, Sound Gardens bass player at the time decided he had the shits with someone in the crowd, so he drank a water or something and spat it out.....it just missed me, for know real reason fair dinkum, he just had the shits and looked miserable playing at the BDO.

Another tragic concert i saw was in i think 98?? with the Smashing Pumpkins at the Horden Pavilion.

They were here a year earlier promoting the Mellon collie album and that was an awesome concert, however, this time around they sang the new songs which were pathetic....and i'm sure that particular album wasn't well recieved by most Smashing Pumpkins fans, i was one of them.

Best concert was KISS 2001 at the Superdome, deadset brillant.

If anyone went to see the Foo Fighters at the Hordern last year, there were The Hard Ons.

Their instruments actually drowned out whatever it was they were singing.

#1 The Vines - Don't like them in general but them at Homebake last year proved to me that they have zero musical talent.
#2 Modular Lounge - Shitty chick band...Opened for Incubus and did their jobs by making Incubus look like the best band in history (not that I think it).
#3 The Spazzys' - Another shitty,generic, three chord,boring,songs sound the same, "old school" punk ripoff. Their debut album is out atm and do yourself a favour and DO NOT buy it. They opened for my fav band The Casanovas at Panthers a few months back and f**k...My band would of wiped the floor with them. Cant sing, can't play guitar, cant stay in time..AND IT WAS f**kING PUNK!?

Whoa...Pearl Jam have ruled every time I have seen them. If you dont like Pearl Jam live, you simply dont get live music.

The Dandy Warhols...certainly not as polished as their albums but still a good live band. I've seen them 3 times live - BDO Sydney was pretty ordinary but the Enmore and Metro shows I went to were great.

The Vines are pretty bad live...but the worst live band ever tag has to go to...

Dogstar - Keanu Reeve's band that toured with Bon Jovi a decade ago...woeful!

Machinegun Felatio suck a hell of a lot as well

I saw them support Grinspoon at the KISS concert and they were ATTROCIOUS. They were booed several times and rightly so. That female singer is disgusting. Luckily Grinspoon saved the day and as for KISS, they were out of this world! :twisted:

Ohh god I saw that aswell, it was beyond attrocious, I actually wanted to get my shoe, and throw it at them.
I had to laugh at the end of one song, it was all quiet, and you just hear one bloke shout "GET OFF" and it seemed to echo around the superdome. The stupid thing was the chick on stage acknowledged this guy screaming it and said "I am getting off....."

Dead set, agree, 200%

They ruled on 23rd of Feb 2003 here in Perth! One of the best concerts ever!!

Ashlee Simpson, never seen her live and by God I'm glad. She is TERRIBLE. Who ever gave her a recording contract should shoot themselves. On MTV they had a video of her warming up the crowd for the VMA's... horrible.

Chris Cornell sounding bad? I refuse to believe it.. he sounds pretty good at the end of the Audioslave DVD (doing the live performances). But Black Hole Sun with no backing.. ugh.

You have a weird definition of hot.. she has a nose like a witch. There are much better looking girls in the music industry (and I don't mean Britney, Christina or wannabes)

Poison were the worst I ever saw. Played ok but only played for an hour in an era where bands gave their all in every gig. They ripped me off and I've never forgiven them. Bastards.

Best was Bon Jovi and KISS every time I have seen them. Great songs with a superb stage show and awesome atmosphere.
