Death Cab For Cutie....not because it was particularly bad but because it was so...damn...boring...

No one moved the entire show and after about 3 songs I couldn't tell one apart from the other.

Without going through the barrage of unknown, terrible bands that I've seen on local/regional levels, that worst sets that I've witnessed would have to be:

Poison the Well (I actually fell asleep)
As I Lay Dying (Still sleeping. They played back-to-back)
Ministry (I like some of their music, but the show sucked)
From First to Last (really... really... bad)
.38 Special (I was 13, and I went with my parents)

i've seen a ridiculous amount of local bands pass through the city i live in... and i gotta say, Nine Inch Nails playing at John Labatt's Center in London probably 4 years ago was the worst musical experience of my life. the sound was good. the light show was electrifying... but trent reznor selling out to all these bubblegum teenyboppers and acting as though suffering the effects of steroid use really took my appreciation of his name down a notch or two. i guess when you're that f*cked up, you gotta stay f*cked up, or you just start sucking.

trent should get into clothing design and start hanging out with diddy and gwen stefani.

^disappointed about Banco de Gaia.

While Dinosaur Jr. were great when I saw them, the two support bands really blew. With a name like Bad Wettin' Bad Boys there was never any hope I guess. I had high hopes for a band called Deaf Wish though...

I saw Live years ago, it was good, but again the support sucked. It was Sugar Ray. There is a reason no one ever liked them.

It's really hard to say. In most cases, even if an artist is completely horrible, there's another that make the show worthwhile. I will have to ponder this...

I've never been to a concert that was terrible. But when I went to see Happy Mondays and Psychedelic Furs, the Islands opened for them. I had high hopes, because I actually liked Return to the Sea. Sadly, their newest album is more like a crappy, disgusting rendition of a generic 80's synthpop band. Yeah, it's that bad. What's worse, Nicholas Thorburn was absolutely shitfaced to the point that one of his bandmates had to grab him to keep him from falling of the stage. It was bad.

And when I saw Dino Jr. Lou Barlow's new band opened for them Great all around.

a few weeks ago, here's a little thing i wrote up for it

went to a shitty battle of the bands at some high school cause my friend who used to go there wanted me to keep him company. i pretty much expected a lackluster time but here's what i thought anyway.


1st band-shitty Pantera cover band who had the gall to play both A New Level and Walk without even attempting to do the solos(not like they could anyway). WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT?! 3/10

2nd band-OH MY GOD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. i mean i've seen shitty, but this was its own new level of shit. Their name was Punk Paradise and i can honestly say that i haven't laughed as hard at a band as much as during their set. nobody was in tune or time, the "singer" did nothing more than talk into the mic and blab incoherently. what made it really funny was how they were acting like they were the best band at the show, actually trying to get the audience into their train wreck. plus their cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit sounded like what you get when people who've never heard the song only have tabs to read off of, which i'm guessing they did. 1/10 cause it made me laugh my ass off. maybe these guys should do comedy?

3rd band-For Years to Come. my band actually played with these guys back when it was just the guitarist and drums, and they were good back then. they had a bassist in their group now and i'll say that it was a good addition. alot of their stuff was in the Taking Back Sunday vein of things and the music was tight and pretty well done. only thing was that the singer didn't have too good of range in his voice. 6/10

4th band- this was a bit of a surprise, basically. a bunch of the teachers that set up the BoTB including the principal of the school did a yearly thing where they would get together and play some classic metal songs. they called themselves Staff Infecton, haha. but yeah, the first and last covers were the best (Black Sabbath's Never Say Die and Twisted Sister's We're Not Gonna Take It), but the middle of their set kind of plateued. they were pretty ok. 5/10

5th band-the name was Adalie and they were one of two bands at the show that actually had a cd and the only one that was actually touring. the only reason they played there was because their bassist went to the school. i've known these guys for a while and i know they have great songs/performances, and this time was no different. even during their first song the guitar of one of the singer/guitarists broke and he kept on singing even when he was restringing. don't know about you but that's pretty fucking awesome in my book. 8/10

6th band-Seek to Thrill, this was the other band that had a cd and this was actually not too bad a set. they singing was really good, especially when both guitarists and the bassist did harmonies. only thing was the rest of the set pretty much blended together with the exception of their ending song. 6/10

7th band-i don't even remember the name of these guys because by the end of this show my brain was fried and tired as hell. what i do remember was two Rise Against covers that were meh and some songs they wrote which were pretty much forgettable. it seems like if they worked a little more on playing as a band they could really do something, but for now it's a 4/10



if tl;dr just look at this part:
so yeah, SEVEN bands playing and less than half of them were actually good. plus the sound was terrible, every band got feedback out the ass. in all, it's a 3/10.

i won't be attending next year.

Oasis. What a waste of 90 bucks, all they did was stand on stage with three giant banners showing lame animations while everyone patiently waited for them to get to "Wonderwall" so we could all go home.

I've never been to a bad concert, howere I've been to concerts with opening bands that suck... like paul wall (he's not a band obviously but he sucked) and the academy is... good lord do they suck.
